‘WE KEN’ Christmas gift giving benefits Angeles residents, dialysis patient
ANGELES CITY – Hundreds of Angeles City residents including a dialysis patient benefitted from the “WE KEN” Christmas gift giving or “Wish Ko Lang Christmas Edition 2025” held at the Westerways Avenue, Hensonville, on Friday.
More than 300 beneficiaries have attended the gift giving event sponsored by Kenneth Lansang of Brgy Malabanias.
“I am paying it forward. It’s giving back to the community, sharing the blessings to the needy this yuletide season,” according to Lansang.
Lansang has also donated an 8-wheel walker, an assistive device, to Edgar Asequia, wheelchair-bound resident who has been unable to stand up for years. Asequia is a dialysis patient for nearly three years now and the 8-wheel walker would allow him to stand up and walk, according to Lansang.
Lansang said the first 100 beneficiaries joined the “Wish Ko Lang Christmas Edition 2025” by putting their “Christmas Wish” on a piece of paper.
Lansang said he had been inspired to help his fellow residents in Angeles City, noting “kung may pagkakataong makatulong, bakit hindi?”
He had been helping his fellow residents of Angeles City for the past eight years.
Blind singer Maria Dinia Ann Grafil has also sang “Star ng Pasko” which was followed by the lighting of Christmas lanterns.
“WE KEN is just the beginning,” according to Lansang as he set his sights to more assistance to the marginalized sector of Angeles City. “Ito ang WE KEN. Nagtutulungan tayo. Nagbibigayan tayo.”
Lansang has encouraged the attendees to follow his Facebook Page for announcements and details for the next Wish Dropping Activity and Gift Pack Distribution. He said there will be a big draw live on Facebook.
Malabanias Barangay Captain Luz Nava has also graced the gift giving event.
At a young age, Lansang has been reaching out to the marginalized sector of Angeles City helping the sick and the needy for the past eight years. Residents said: “Hindi niya kailangang magsalita ng marami, ang gawa niya ang nagkukuwento.”
