The children of Iriga don’t want your charity. They want hope.
This New Year, give the Gift of Hope.
In Iriga City, during the 2007 school year, there were 14,500 elementary students in public schools but less than 7,000 English books.
United Iriguenos, Inc. has launched its “Books for Tots” program. In partnership with professional educators in the Philippines, “Books for Tots” aims to deliver high-quality books to poor and deserving schoolchildren in the rural communities of the Philippines. (more…)

July 7-12, 2008 (Vienna, Austria): “Magbinaydan sa Austria 2008”
From: Magbinaydan 2008 Committee
“Magbinaydan, as you know by now has become a tradition, passed on from one group to another for one purpose: for Irigueños from around the world to meet in a different place each time. This momentous event has become a venue for friends old and new, families and acquaintances to meet, share personal experiences and viewpoints, plan socio-civic projects that will be implemented in the Philippines and see and enjoy the beauty of the host country.
“So it is with great pleasure that we, your Irigueño friends here in Vienna, Austria, are inviting you, your family and friends as we host this prestigious affair on July 7-12, 2008.
“Magbinaydan 2008 will also include the grand reunion of the University of Northeastern Philippines Nurses International Alumni Association, that will take place after the Magbinaydan 2008 event (July 11-13). Click here for further schedule of events. Help us make this celebration a success by registering as early as possible. For more information and details, please visit our website at Magbinaydan 2008.
“Come to Austria, the land of music and mountains and get the chance to visit
neighboring countries like the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Germany and others. We look forward to seeing you. Thank you and servus!
“Mayna, magbinaydan kita sadi Vienna, Austria ka 2008!”
