Cebu Daily News Publication Date: [December, 2006]

The UP Cebu College Student Council and Y-KONEK held a Christmas party and donation drive for the adopted street children of the Children of Cebu Foundation Inc. last Friday at Jollibee Mango from 1:30 to 4pm.

“This will serve as the UP Cebu students’ christmas gift for our less forunate brothers and sisters. We do not just rally. We pursue all forms of actions that will advance the Filipino youth and people’s interests and welfare,” said Karlo Mikhail Mongaya, UP Cebu Student Council Chairperson.

The Student Council activity, named “Sabwag,” is led by its Gender and Youth Desk and Community Rights and Welfare Committee. The Christmas party is made possible through the help and sponsorship of Jollibee.

Y-KONEK Visayas Coordinator and UP student councilor Heno Rey Chin said: “This christmas is a season of giving. We UP students are always willing to give back what we can to the Filipino people whose taxes subsidize our education.”

“We likewise extend our gratitude to all who answered the call for the SC Sabwag donation drive,” added Chin.
