ProFriends Video Essay Contest

I was too late to know that PROFRIENDS or Property Company of Friends Inc held a video essay contest regarding those with a beautiful (but I think more like touching) story to share. The winner will win a Sophie house unit (tax-free). The Sophie model (Typical Selling Price: Php 1,650,000) is available in Lancaster New City so I am guessing that that’s where the winner will live. The nominator of the winner also gets Php 50,000 cash prize. I am not sure who won yet even if the winner was said to be announced August 30, 2013.

The Sophie house model is 52/80 sqm single-attached home that features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living area, dining area, kitchen, provision for one-car garage, and option of family courtyard or family enclave. The home is made of pre-painted G.I. sheet roofing, steel casement windows, painted plain cement finish for exterior walls and interior walls, tiled kitchen counter with stainless kitchen sink, tiled bathrooms with complete set of bathroom fixtures (including tissue and soap holder), plain cement finish for ground and second floors, and provision for CATV, telephone and air condition outlet.

Anyway, I read about it on Philippine Star online. The “PRO-FRIENDS ka rin ba?” contest was launched in order to celebrate Pro-Friends’ countdown to its 15th year in the real estate industry in 2014. The contest allowed anyone to nominate a friend or relative who deserves a brand new home. PCFI even have a separate website for the contest: profriendskarinba.com.

 I visited Pro Friends official youtube channel and watched all of the video entries. They are all touching stories which I think deserve a home. But alas! Only one can win.

If you wish to watch these amazing video essays, just visit the “PRO-FRIENDS ka rin ba?” channel on PCFI youtube. Ready your tissues though because these are tear jerkers. I wish that those who wouldn’t get to win would have their videos exposed so that generous hearts may still try to reach out to them and maybe offer them other things or help aside from a brand new home. J

There are 19 video entries in the official youtube channel. Surely, those 19 aren’t the only ones who deserve a home or a chance in life. I am quite saddened how so many of us are still suffering from the carelessness and abusiveness of others (*cough* politicians *cough*). And it’s sad to know that many companies, LEGIT NON-GOVERNMENT groups, and individuals are dedicating themselves to reach out to the needy instead of the actual government doing it. The local government is neglecting its responsibilities because they have been drowned by the many riches stolen from the pockets of the suffering. Sigh.. I’m going to stop here because if I continued my political rant, it may never end. Haha!

So how about you guys? Who do you think should win? Did you watch the videos? Or maybe you know someone who deserves a home, too? Share their stories! Even if you weren’t able to join the contest, I’m sure kind hearts would love to help you/them.
