CELEBRATING THE SEASON OF GIVING: O/CG-6 VISIT BRINGS CHRISTMAS SPIRIT TO ANAWIM LAY MISSIONS FOUNDATION

20 December 2025 – In the true spirit of Christmas, the Office of the Deputy Chief of Coast Guard Staff for Comptrollership (O/CG-6), led by the PCG Comptroller, COMMO Dorothy D. Manglicmot PCG, along with Mr. Noroden Mira-ato, four Officers, and 14 Non-Officers, paid a heartwarming visit to the Anawim Lay Missions Foundation in Barangay San Isidro, Sitio Tanag, Rodriguez, Rizal.

Founded by Catholic lay preacher Bo Sanchez, the Anawim Lay Missions Foundation has been a beacon of hope since 1996, providing shelter and care to the abandoned and impoverished elderly who have nowhere else to turn. The foundation’s mission is centered around offering love and dignity to these individuals, many of whom are left behind by society and their families.

During the visit, COMMO MANGLICMOT PCG shared an inspiring message with the residents and staff, reflecting on her deep connection to the foundation’s work. "It has always been my dream, as a junior PCG officer before, to visit this place, and after 25 years, I’m finally able to do so," she said. Expressing gratitude, she emphasized how blessed she felt to be able to share this special moment with her team, despite the challenges and busy schedule that December always brings to the Comptroller's office. The heartwarming event concluded with the elderly residents, affectionately known as "lolos" and "lolas," singing a song of gratitude, leaving everyone touched by their generosity and resilience.

As the holiday season continues, the O/CG-6 personnel’s visit serves as a poignant reminder of the power of giving, the importance of community, and the joy that comes from sharing love with those in need.

The two-day activity coincided with the pre-budget preparation phase prior to the issuance of the Budget Call through the Department of Budget and Management’s (DBM) National Budget Memorandum, which is expected to be released early the following year. Program Directors from the Central Staff presented their proposals to the Deliberation and Advisory Panel.

During her welcome remarks, COMMO DOROTHY D. MANGLICMOT PCG highlighted the distinctions between Tier 1 and Tier 2 Budget Proposals. She also emphasized that early preparation, careful validation, and rigorous deliberation are the foundations of a credible budget submission.

Serving as the Guest of Honor and Speaker (GOHAS), the Commandant, ADM RONNIE GIL L. GAVAN PCG, stated, “The bottom line is: We spend money to keep the way of life of our people secured, protected, and enhanced. That is the nation’s interest. Everything goes to that,” and “We cannot solve World War 3 problems with World War 1 solutions.”

Maintaining the momentum, the Deputy Commandant for Operations, VADM EDGAR L YBAÑEZ PCG, further emphasized the call to action for the PCG to decisively move beyond outdated practices and rigid frameworks that no longer align with the evolving and increasingly complex maritime security environment. He stressed that modern maritime threats demand forward-looking strategies and willingness to challenge long-standing norms. As the event drew to a close, he highlighted the importance of collaboration and the courage to embrace change in order to effectively address emerging risks and safeguard the nation’s maritime interests.
