As of March 2026, a total of forty-two (42) children at Tahanan ng Pagmamahal Children’s Home Inc. continue to receive nutritious, well-balanced meals that support their growth and overall well-being. Toddlers and older children are regularly served a diverse range of nutrient-rich foods such as chicken, pork, beef, fish, vegetables, and fruits. Infants are provided with age-appropriate nutrition, including vegetable purées and milk prescribed by the Consultant Pediatrician, tailored to their specific health needs and in line with medical recommendations.

Particular care is given to children identified as malnourished. They receive targeted nutritional interventions and are closely monitored through structured feeding programs aimed at restoring and improving their health.

Beyond physical health, the children also benefit from comprehensive psychosocial support services. Those aged five years and above undergo psychological assessments to better understand and address their emotional and developmental needs.

In addition, specialized services such as occupational and speech therapy are provided to children requiring further support, helping them overcome developmental challenges and reach their full potential.

With the continued support of donors, five (5) children in kindergarten proudly participated in their Moving-Up Ceremony for the academic year 2025–2026. This milestone celebrated not only their completion of the school year but also their achievements, as they were recognized for their intelligence and active participation in class.

During this period, one child was successfully reunified with her grandmother. This important milestone underscores the value of family reunification in restoring relationships, strengthening emotional connections, and upholding a child’s right to grow in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment.

These efforts align closely with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), and SDG 4 (Quality Education). By ensuring access to proper nutrition, quality healthcare, and education, Tahanan ng Pagmamahal Children’s Home Inc. continues to contribute to improving the lives and future of vulnerable children.

Thank you for your continued kindness and generosity to our kids. Your generosity has made a meaningful difference—providing these children with access to education and the opportunity to grow, achieve, and aspire toward a brighter future. Every contribution, regardless of size, plays a vital role in shaping their journey. God bless your hearts for helping us provide these kids a nurturing and safe haven where they can thrive.

As of this quarter, a total of forty (40) children have directly benefited from the comprehensive care and protection programs provided by the facility. Through these services, the children were safeguarded from all forms of abuse and supported in maintaining their health and well-being. Among the new admissions was a three-month-old baby boy who had previously spent several months in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). With the onset of colder weather, children—particularly those with a history of respiratory conditions—required increased medical attention and monitoring.

During the reporting period, twenty-nine (29) children received routine monthly clinic visits, follow-ups, and medical checkups.

One infant with recurrent pneumonia was hospitalized, treated, and successfully discharged after five (5) days.
Twelve (12) babies and toddlers developed skin rashes and were immediately isolated and closely monitored by a Registered Nurse, preventing complications.
Cough, colds, and fever were the most common illnesses observed. Five (5) children who exhibited deep and shallow breathing required ongoing respiratory management and maintenance medications, including Seretide, Budesonide, and Duavent /Salbutamol nebulization. All prescribed medicines were readily available, and continuous consultations with pediatricians and pulmonologists ensured proper care.
One infant continues to receive heart maintenance medication (Memorex) and vitamins, while another toddler was cleared by a cardiologist to discontinue heart medication after a normal 2D Echo, with an ECG still recommended for monitoring.

Eighteen (18) children are currently enrolled in school, ranging from daycare to first year of high school. In addition, several children previously under the program were successfully reintegrated with their parents or relatives, and one child found a permanent, loving home through adoption.

Despite ongoing health challenges, Tahanan ng Pagmamahal remains steadfast in upholding the children’s rights to survival, development, and protection.

These life-saving and life-changing programs are made possible only through the continued generosity, compassion, and commitment of our donors. We are deeply grateful for your unwavering support and love that enables us to provide medical care, education, and a safe environment where every child can heal, grow, and thrive.

In the past month, eight (8) children were admitted to the shelter, ages ranging from one (1) month to two (2) years old. All of them came from situations of abandonment or neglect. Out of the eight (8), four (4) were undernourished, one (1) showed signs of developmental delay, and one (1) was diagnosed with pneumonia.

The four (4) malnourished children and the child with pneumonia were brought to a doctor for evaluation and underwent several laboratory tests, including TPAG (a blood test that measures protein levels and the albumin-to-globulin ratio), serum potassium, creatinine, as well as diagnostic procedures such as chest X-ray and ECG. Medications were prescribed, and instructions for managing their health conditions were provided to the shelter’s Registered Nurse and Houseparents/Caregivers.

In addition to the newly admitted children, four (4) other children were treated for cough, colds, and fever. Two (2) children had ophthalmology follow-up checkups due to hyperopic astigmatism and anisometropia with intermittent exotropia. One of them was provided with new eyeglasses as prescribed by the ophthalmologist.

For therapy interventions, five (5) children are currently undergoing Occupational and Speech Therapy. They are also enrolled in school and are now more talkative and able to express themselves better.

At present, nineteen (19) children are regularly attending school, from Day Care to First Year High School.

As of this report, a total of forty-three (43) children are being provided with shelter services, which include food and nutrition, medical assessments and treatment, and necessary medications.

We are humbled and deeply grateful for the continuous support and kindness you have been showering our kids. May God richly reward you for the love and generosity you have shared in keeping Tahanan ng Pagmamahal a safe haven for these kids to thrive and grow.
