In the last Kidlat, Bates141 bagged a Gold DIWA award along with US$2,000 from the Ayala Foundation, for their Woman Today “Embossed” breast cancer flyer. Last Wednesday, at the Woman Today Anniversary celebration, BATES 141 donated US$1,000 to the Bessie B. Legarda Memorial Foundation.
Joey Ong, Bates141 ECD and breast cancer awareness advocate, presented the donation to foundation head Sen. Loren Legarda, who said it would be used to fund free Tamoxifen and mammographies.
Ong is matter-of-fact on his choice of cause, which has bewildered some: “The fact that we all have moms and sisters make us all qualified to be advocates.”
