Bayanihan/Ogogfo in Escondido

April 2025 Spring Cleaning 

Eileen Lay organized a Bayanihan effort to help out the McDonough family. sharing this invite to the group:

Hello BIBAK family-

I'm reaching out after visiting Uncle Potlick and speaking with Auntie Marjie. One of our own needs our helping hands. Please come out and spend a fun morning freshening up their place to minimize fire risk, pests and critters. Feel free to bring a dish to share as an addition to lunch. The more the merrier Who's in?!?!

On 2 different weekends, groups of members and friends of the family came out to help clear out the McDonough yard on April 5 and 22.

For the love of Manong Patrick.
From the bottom of our hearts,our sincerest gratitude to all who came again-BIBAK SAN DIEGO officers and members led by their President Manang Celia G Panganiban ,BIBAK SAN DIEGO friends, McDonough neighbors and our Comicho family.

Special mention to Aylene Ley for organizing this activity. Many thank you for making this happen.

Very special words of gratitude to manang Nelly Diwag who stayed in the kitchen. Birukek rupam ti pictures ket awan. Then nalagip ko ada ka kitchen. But you were there manang,and i thank you.
May this tradition of ogog-fo be always in our hearts.
