Red Ribbon brings a memorable birthday to Our Lady of Manaoag’s little patrons
A visit to the Our Lady of Manaoag brought
an unexpected surprise to twenty youngsters as they arrived to a simple party
where they received the most colorful treat: a chance to celebrate their
birthday with their loved ones.
The eyes of the little ones gleamed at the
sight of the blessings: a venue decorated with balloons, tables lined with the
chocolate cakes, and their names carefully drawn in icing with a sweet “Happy
Birthday!” greeting. For most of the youngsters, this will be their first
birthday party and the first time they will be blowing out the candles of their
own cake.

Coinciding with the special day of the Minor
Basilica of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of Manaoag, the ‘Share a Rainbow
Surprise’ was led by the Red Ribbon store team to add sweetness to the
birthdays of the kids from Manaoag. The bakeshop identified those who will receive
the Rainbow Dedication Cake treat, with the help of the Department of Social
Welfare and Development local office and the Manaoag Church Basic Ecclesial
Community.
The kids had excitement spelled on their
faces as they raced to the venue and received hugs from their parents. It was
the youngster’s parents, however, that was moved by the special occasion. “Hangga’t maari po sana, maibigay ko rin po
iyong hindi ko naranasan sa kanya. Pangarap ko pong birthday party kay Alesha
Anne iyong magkaroon po siya ng cake. Magiging masaya po ako kung matutupad
itong dream birthday niya po. (It is my dream for Alesha Anne to have a
cake. I would be extremely happy if we can grant this wish)” shared Eliza
Corpuz.
Everyone gathered as parents and
representatives from Red Ribbon sliced the chocolate cakes and went around with
plates in hand. It was yet another surprise as the party attendees saw the
colorful layers of chiffon underneath the chocolate coating and the
rainbow-toned lollipops that topped the Rainbow Dedication Cake.
The double celebration continued with
party games and dances and the birthday celebrators simultaneously blowing out
their candles. It was a sight to behold as the little ones, who came
lighthearted to the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of
Manaoag, went home with wider smiles and a little more sweetness on their
special day.
