THE Collegiate Press Corps (CPC) culminated another stellar year of sports with its annual Christmas outreach program, spreading the spirit of giving beyond the hardcourt.
For the second year running, the college scribes visited Concordia Children's Services, Inc., a Manila-based orphanage that has fostered abandoned and at-risk children over the last four decades.
Years of goodwill from Concordia’s long-time donors made its humble shelter feel like home for homeless kids.
With presents on hand to go by its collective presence, the Collegiate Press Corps made their new home feel warmer.
Members of the CPC stepped back from their usual coverages and brought out the inner child in them to share moments of laughter and joy with the kids through fun activities such as face painting, festive games, and interactive magic and bubble shows.

Through the unwavering generosity of the UAAP and NCAA families, the Concordia kids and their caretakers also received food, toys, medicine, and groceries to ensure they’ll be taken care of beyond the holiday season and back to school after the New Year.
The group also shared meals with Concordia kids and caretakers — and most especially laughter, fun and joy that’s only fitting this Christmas time
Such bright smiles wouldn’t have been possible without the support of UP champion coach Goldwin Monteverde, San Miguel Corporation, the Philippine Sports Commission, the Philippine Sportswriters Association, 1-PACMAN Partylist, Cignal, NBA Philippines, Milo Philippines, NorthPort head coach Bonnie Tan, UP Office of Athletics and Sports Development’s Bo Perasol, Charlie Dy, Adamson head coach Nash Racela, the NU Lady Bulldogs-Ever Bilena, and UAAP Commissioner Xavy Nunag.
“Sports is a gift that keeps on giving and there’s no better time to champion this than at Christmas time,” said CPC president John Bryan Ulanday of the Philippine Star.
