The one good thing
I’ve always nurtured a burning desire to give back to my country in my
own little way. Seeing Gawad Kalinga with all its accomplishments gives
me a sense of fulfillment, knowing that its deeds come from those with a
similar vision though I can only share in spirit. The tribe is
increasing, so all I can say is keep up the good work. Gawad Kalinga is
definitely the only good thing happening right now in this country. — Imee Aglibot, Rizal
An inspiration to us
Gawad Kalinga is an example of what NGO should be ‑ one that really
provides service to the community. It built thousands of homes for the
homeless, put up livelihood programs, established health care and
provided education to the poor. Gawad Kalinga’s success also inspired
Filipinos all over the world to contribute billions for its projects. — Robert Young Jr., San Juan
I see your noble deeds every time.
I am thankful that there are still Good Samaritans like you in spite of the many gluttons around. — Rose Leobrera, Manila
It’s a blessing whose time has come, to give hope to the poor. Despite
all the corruption and immorality in government, Gawad Kalinga inspires
us all. ‑ Leonard Villa, Laoag City
The need of the poor is urgent.
Gawad Kalinga will make us one nation, a united nation. It will rebuild this country. Kudos and God bless. — Johann Lucas, Quezon City
Spare it from crab mentality
Gawad Kalinga is a project that gives hope to the poor. I’d like to add
that if it was given full support by the government and the private
sector to go full swing all over the country, it will help solve many of
the social problems existing in depressed areas that affect us all. I
pray that this worthy project be spared from the destructive Filipino
trait of crab mentality. ‑ I. Calata, Paranaque City
Gawad Kalinga’s efforts for the homeless poor are laudable and noble.
Sadly, there are some who are envious and are shamelessly trying to
discredit it. — Rey Ibalan, Antipolo City
While the world is all praises for the unprecedented effort of Gawad
Kalinga, some Filipinos are not happy about its phenomenal success,
showing the highest form of crab mentality. It’s unfortunate that some
of those responsible for Gawad Kalinga’s growth and success are now
frantic in their effort to discredit and destroy Gawad Kalinga for
personal and selfish motives. But, like all good things, Gawad Kalinga
will never die. — Rodolfo Capili, Caloocan City
Keep up the good work
For Gawad Kalinga, may your tribe increase! Don’t let your faith, good
work and prayers slow down because God won’t. — Pat Miranda, Marikina
City
Gawad Kalinga is the epitome of goodness to mankind, especially to the
poorest of the poor. Keep up the good work and God bless. — Lito Sandico,
Quezon City
Should teach politicians a thing or two
May Gawad Kalinga and Tony Meloto’s selfless dedication and fruitful
service to our needy serve as a wake up call up to our self-serving
leaders to change for the sake of the nation, otherwise, we’ll remain an
international pariah competing for the despicable tag as Asia’s most
corrupt. — William Gonzaga, Marikina City
If only the government will stand on the principles by which Gawad
Kalinga was founded, then there’s still hope for our country. We can
still be viable. — Jim Veneracion, Naga City
No words could aptly describe its poverty alleviation project. Where the
government struggles, Gawad Kalinga succeeds. — Leandro Tolentino,
Batangas City
To our fellowmen in Gawad Kalinga, your effort to build shelter for our
financially incapacitated kababayans is beyond words. As a mission for
the goodness of humanity, it’s a true act of a Good Samaritan, unlike
the acts of some crooked businessmen and politicians who advertise their
“humanitarian” acts as a deodorant. We salute you for that. — Elpidio
Que, Vigan
Reliving the bayanihan spirit
With Gawad Kalinga, people from all walks of life are greatly inspired
to discover a living and loving God in the heavenly eyes of the needy. —
Renato Taylan, Ilocos Norte
Gawad Kalinga’s doing great.
Those with the superstar complex who have always wanted their names to appear on billboards should wait for their time. — Manuel Abejero, Pangasinan
I have only but high praises for Gawad Kalinga.
It is one human-centered project conceptualized with amiable hearts and enlightened minds. A number of my men are thankful recipients of the project. They now have a house and a lot, having built their house in the bayanihan spirit, with Gawad Kalinga concept as the guiding spirit. Mabuhay! — Rey Onate, Palayan City
Christianity in action
It is Christianity in action. By building homes for the poor, GK gives
the poor new hope in life. — Edwin Castillo, Tanauan City
Gawad Kalinga symbolizes real Christianity (read Catholicism) in action!
My compadre bought a Gawad Kalinga raffle ticket for P500 and won a 66
Mustang GT, which he is selling for P1.5 million so he can donate it
back to Gawad Kalinga and build thirty-plus homes for the poor! He is a
full-time Couples for Christ lecturer (and singer) and gives talks with
his pretty wife. Mabuhay ka , pare ko, mabuhay ang Gawad Kalinga! —
Gerii Calupitan, Mandaluyong City
It is genuine faith in action. — Eddie Cago, Digos City
Gawad Kalinga is the embodiment of the Christian spirit of brotherhood

brothers all. — Myrna Militante, Quezon city
Gawad Kalinga is simply God calling apostles to serve humanity
unselfishly! I salute them and bow to their mission, vision and humane
work, which are living legacies of Christ’s ways. — Geoffrey Gumban,
Davao City
God’s masterpiece

Gawad Kalinga homes in Surigao City. — L.C. Fiel, Quezon City
It’s God’s masterpiece implemented by his disciples for his less
