GENERAL TRIAS CITY, Cavite — More than 500 children were made happy by the local government in this city during the launching of “It’s Kidsmas Time” and Adopt a Child Christmas gift-giving led by Mayor Luis “Jon Jon” Ferrer IV and Vice Mayor Jonas Labuguen yesterday.

“I told the city officials and department heads of our local government, instead of giving me gifts on my birthday and Christmas gifts like branded items, just buy food and gifts for children this holiday season,” Mayor Ferrer said in an interview.

“In Adopt a Child Christmas gift-giving, we are looking for 51 poor families in 33 barangay for the “Grant a wish for Christmas” to fulfill their wishes this Christmas season,” the mayor said.

“The Christmas season becomes more meaningful when we do this and we can make many more children of the city happy, may the Lord bless us more.” Ferrer added.

Congressman Antonio Ferrer, Board member Morit Sison and BM Kerby Salazar, and city councilors were the guests in the program.
