00:00Our sports banter teammates that we will be with live, we will be with them here in the studio.

00:05They are the beauties, Ms. Celeste Apa, Fundraising Manager and Good Neighbors Philippines.

00:13And Ms. Tina Rama, PR and Communication Officer, Good Neighbors Philippines.

00:18Ma'am, good morning and thank you very much for your time.

00:23Thank you for having us.

00:24Alright ma'am.

00:25Ma'am, for everyone's knowledge, can we ask what is Good Neighbors and what is the goal of this organization?

00:37So as mentioned, hello, good morning everybody.

00:41I am Tina Rama from Good Neighbors Philippines.

00:44So we're actually a non-profit organization founded in South Korea in 1991.

00:49And then in 2008, we came here in the Philippines to serve the Filipino vulnerable communities here in the Philippines.

00:58Alright, but ma'am, can you elaborate on our goal or mission or objectives here in the Good Run?

01:06I believe we have a competition, right?

01:10A Good Run, a sports event, right?

01:12The Good Run.

01:13Can you tell us what is it all about?

01:17So on November 24, in UP Diliman, we had our first ever race event, the Good Run 2024.

01:26The goal of this, of course, is to inspire, unite, and create lasting change and impact in different communities.

01:33So through the Good Run, we really aim to bring different good neighbors together

01:38to strengthen and champion the strengths of our communities that we work with.

01:45And also, to ignite the commitment of people to social responsibility,

01:50which we believe though, we saw throughout the race,

01:55because the people were really engaging with each other.

01:58It was a race event, but they were cheering for each other.

02:02So we were able to really unite people, hopefully, through the race event.

02:09I think it's a very beautiful thing that people enjoyed the race.

02:14In addition to that, what inspired you to make sports a positive change in the community?

02:29I think sports in general, because it has the power to unite people.

02:34Regardless of your age, where you're from, what your abilities are, sports really is that inclusive.

02:41And in the same way, our goal for community development is that it should be inclusive,

02:48that no one should be left behind in our vision for a better world.

02:52So through sports, we were able to do that.

02:55Through sports, we were able to unite different people,

02:59because we have children who ran 500 meters.

03:0410 kids.

03:06Small kids.

03:07Small kids who really ran.

03:09And different ages, we have registrants who are 50, 56 years old and above.

03:14Seniors.

03:15Seniors.

03:16Participates in events.

03:17Yeah, and we also have representatives from children with autism.

03:22With disabilities.

03:23Spectrum disorders.

03:24Spectrum disorders.

03:25So it's really inclusivity.

03:27So regardless of where you're from, what your age is, sports really is for everyone.

03:32And our goal as well, our vision for a better world, good change for the world, it involves everybody.

03:38So through sports, we were able to, hopefully, we were able to give that message to people.

03:45Yes.

03:46Ma'am, is this The Good Run?

03:48How many people participated last November 20?

03:51Roughly 900 to 1,000 runners.

03:53Because it's not just runners.

03:56There were also parents who participated in our The Good Market,

04:00who were just supporting their children.

04:02Then they listened to our advocacies, our programs,

04:07because we also invited our sponsored children and our other beneficiaries who came from a far place,

04:14from Bulacan, just to support.

04:17So there were family runners in The Good Run 2024.

04:21Wow, they really came together.

04:23That's why it's called The Good Neighbors.

04:25Very good.

04:26Neighbors.

04:27That's what it is.

04:28They also want to be neighbors.

04:29That's why.

04:30I hope we can.

04:31I can.

04:33What are our upcoming activities, ma'am?

04:36Do we still have next sports run events or whatever?

04:42Actually, this isn't our first time.

04:44Because in 2023, we also had our shooting star.

04:47It's a basketball.

04:50We were able to invite different public schools in Rizal.

04:54The kids there, the MVPs who won, with their inspiring stories,

04:59we were able to provide them with monetary help and support

05:04to support their passion in basketball.

05:07So that was our first time.

05:09And now we had The Good Run 2024.

05:11And next year, hopefully, we'll have another Good Run for 2025.

05:17Alright, ma'am.

05:18Can you elaborate on our next tournament next year?

05:22Do we still have sports events like The Good Run?

05:25Yeah.

05:26Actually, our goal is to do The Good Run every year

05:29because it was really helpful for Good Neighbors.

05:32Since we saw the success of our recent activities,

05:37we wanted to leverage that to amplify our campaigns and advocacy.

05:42Hopefully, we'll have more participants.

05:45Yes.

05:46Alright.

05:48How do our participants and individuals get involved?

05:54Actually, at Good Neighbors Philippines,

05:56we offer multiple winning ways for individuals and even companies to get involved.

06:01So our opportunities range from skill-based opportunities

06:05and even community, hands-on community engagement.

06:08So if you are a professional with expertise in the areas of education,

06:12health, environment, disaster risk response, and livelihood,

06:16we encourage you to work with us because we do capacity building workshops in our communities.

06:23And of course, we offer hands-on engagement.

06:26So we also invite volunteers to our field activities and community events.

06:32So those are our volunteer opportunities.

06:34Ma'am, I have a question.

06:37Anyone from you can answer this.

06:39Where do we get our funds from?

06:43In Good Neighbors, where do we get our funds to help other people?

06:49Actually, in Good Neighbors, since we mentioned that we are an international organization,

06:54so our sponsors, we have sponsors from Korea.

06:58So they give funds to different field countries that implement programs and services.

07:05And also, here at Good Neighbors Philippines, we also do our local fundraising.

07:08So we partner with individuals, we partner with companies, corporate foundation, and even government.

07:15They entrust us, they support our programs and services.

07:18So that really helps us to continuously provide services for our community members.

07:24Alright, that's very well said, ma'am.

07:26But here, ma'am, what is the reason we established Good Neighbors?

07:34But what is the reason we established Good Neighbors here in the Philippines?

07:47So as we mentioned in 2008, when Good Neighbors came, we started helping during the typhoon,

07:53the affected communities by that time.

07:56I think here in the Philippines, our goal is really community development.

08:00I think that's why also we started the Good Run, in building really a community of runners.

08:06Because our goal is really community development.

08:09Because the change that we envision for the youth, for those who have dreams,

08:15even the young athletes who are dreaming, it requires a holistic approach in supporting their dreams.

08:22So if you have a dream to become a basketball player, you need support from your community.

08:28For example, if your place is vulnerable to disasters or your family's condition is vulnerable because of financial problems,

08:38so that's what we want to work on.

08:40Economic development, ensuring that the communities are safe through our anticipatory action and other disaster resilience projects.

08:49It's really a holistic approach, so it takes a whole community, a whole Good Neighbors.

08:56Good Neighbors to make it happen.

08:58It's also good that we incorporate sports events in our plans.

09:03Alright, thank you very much Ms. Celeste Apa, Fundraising Manager of Good Neighbors Philippines

09:10and Ms. Tina Rama, Communication Officer of Good Neighbors.
