To all those who have shared their good heart for the Negros Press Club Christmas Party 2022, we the officers would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Your goodness touched the hearts of our members who attended the Christmas party and brought joy and happiness to their homes in a simple but meaningful way with the three sets of raffle we had, each bringing at least two gift items each especially those who were at the gathering from the start.

Indeed, we had one of the happiest Christmas party after two years of hiatus due to the covid pandemic and gathering for the first time seeing each other face to face has further strengthened camaraderie among us.

All of you our sponsors and friends contributed so much the success of the NPC Christmas Party 2022.

Again, thank you very much and God bless you more.

TRACTORCO BRINGS JOY THIS YULETIDE SEASON

BACOLOD – As a way of bringing joy to the community this holiday season, Santa Claus left TRACTORCO’s compound in Sitio Mambukog, Talisay City, Negros Occidental on Wednesday, Dec. 22 to visit their beneficiaries in Bacolod City.

Santa Claus and his wife rode their sleigh and delivered gift packages to some orphaned children, the elderly, and young girls, through a brand new LS Plus 80 Tractor.

Tractorco, through Santa Claus donated gift packs, groceries, clothes and other necessities to the Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy in Barangay Bata, Girls Home in Barangay Alijis and Sto. Niňo Home Inc. in Barangay Taculing.

This is the company's way to give back to the community this yuletide season.

The company is known as Leading Farm Machinery Supplier in the Philippines. It has been serving the Filipino farmers for 15 years and they have sold hundreds of tractors, farm machinery and tractor spare parts all over the country.

According to Tractorco’s owner and general manager Jeanet Santiago, "Christmas is the best time to spread love, peace, and joy."

The company took this opportunity to make their beneficiaries happy.

"It was such a breath of fresh air to see them, especially the children, happy after years of being locked up because of the pandemic and the tremendous Super Typhoon Odette that scared them badly," Santiago said.

Tractorco Company Inc. is one of the partners of the Negros Press Club in its community projects.
