CATARMAN, Northern Samar – Embracing the true spirit of Christmas, the Department of Public Works and Highways Northern Samar First District Engineering Office (DPWH-NSFDEO), in partnership with the Northern Samar First Engineering District Employees Association, held a simple gift-giving activity in Brgy. Baybay, Catarman, on December 18, 2024.

A total of 100 families benefited from the event, receiving sacks of rice weighing 5 kilos each.

The initiative was made possible through the collective efforts of officials and employees, who generously shared their resources to bring joy to the community during the holiday season.

“This is our simple way of sharing the blessings we have received and spreading happiness to our fellow Catarmananons,” said District Engineer Alvin A. Ignacio.

In addition to this charitable endeavor, the DPWH-NSFDEO is preparing another activity to celebrate the season with the children of its employees. Gifts and tokens will be distributed, and a special appearance by the Jollibee mascot has been arranged to bring smiles and laughter to the young ones.

The DPWH-NSFDEO extends its warmest wishes for a joyful and meaningful Christmas to everyone.
