Ormoc City – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office (DEO) continued its annual tradition of giving back to the community through a “Share a Joy” outreach activity on Thursday, December 11, 2025 which brought essential supplies and holiday cheer to three care institutions in Ormoc City: Hayag Receiving and Child Caring Home, Ormoc Holy Family Foundation, and Lingap Center.

The activity was led by OIC-District Engineer Peter Scheler V. Soco, OIC-Assistant District Engineer Jonathan A. Santiago, and section chiefs, together with volunteers from the DEO.
Made possible through donations from the employees, the team delivered a wide range of necessities to support the daily needs of the beneficiaries. Items included fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk, cooking ingredients, canned goods, kitchen utensils, hygiene kits, blankets, bedsheets, towels, medicines, and more.

The visit was a moment of connection as the beneficiaries welcomed the team with heartfelt song and dance performances and staff and caregivers shared conversations, smiles and a bit of Christmas spirit. For the Leyte 4th DEO, the simple act of showing up and offering care and support was a meaningful reminder of what the holiday season is truly about.(PR)
