Turning his passion into a purpose-filled mission, young housing advocate and Mosaic Realty and Development Corp. CEO Jardin Wong handed over a check worth P2 million to Habitat for Humanity Philippines CEO Mardi Mapa-Suplido, in support of the organization’s Bahay ni Juan individual giving campaign.
The amount was raised during Wong’s birthday celebration for a cause last September 3, in which his family and friends were encouraged to donate to Habitat Philippines instead of giving gifts.
As his birthday pledge, Wong matched the individual donations of his friends to double the gift impact.
Also serving as COO of Golden Bay Landholdings, Wong, with his advocacy to support decent housing for less privileged Filipino families, inspired the Philippine Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. to fund the construction of 10 houses for low-income families through Habitat Philippines’ housing program.
“This year marks a major milestone for me and Habitat for Humanity as we organized and staged the ‘Birthday for a cause’ celebration for the benefit of their ‘Bahay ni Juan’ campaign. I thank family, friends, and partner organizations that contributed immensely to the success of the event. The collective effort and contribution of everyone allowed us to exceed donation targets, providing an impetus for future fundraising activities. We are hopeful that we can continue to inspire more people to contribute their time and resources to solving the housing issue here in our country so that every Juan can have a decent home,” said Wong, who also joined the launch of the Bahay ni Juan Campaign last July 9, together with Habitat for Humanity International CEO Jonathan Reckford and young leaders from Habitat Philippines’ youth groups and campus chapters.
