TCC-Philippines Chairman Gregorio Taag is one of the 4 awardees for Regional Outstanding Volunteers 2018 by the Search for Outstanding Volunteers Regional Search Committee (SOV-RSC).
Here is an excerpt from Philippine Information Agency’s (PIA) publication:
Sir Taag, 61, is a faculty member of Benguet State University and current president of The Cordillera Binnadangan Connection Inc. or TCC Philippines. He joined the TCC in March 2012 in order to organize concerts for intended beneficiaries and has been designated the organization’s president. His drive and respect for others has been reflected to the members of the TCC referring to him as “Tatay” or father.
He started the “Concert for Life Series,” a fund raising activity where 100 percent of the proceeds are given to the beneficiaries. This not only benefited people with chronic diseases like cancer, chronic kidney disorders, pediatric cases, among others but also saved a person from human trafficking.
Taag also initiated project “TAKKAY,” an umbrella program of all other TCC activities aligned with the Concert for Life Series such as TCC scholarship program, medical missions, Teen Health 101 (seminars/trainings), Project Lapis as a support for schools, feeding programs and disaster relief operations.
The concerts have also raised the cultural appreciation of Cordillerans through music.
Currently, Sir Greg is leading the team for the charity’s Operation Hope providing relief support to victims of Typhoon Ompong in Benguet and nearby provinces. With the support of different country chapters of TCC, third-party organisations and individual donors, almost Php1M total donations are being managed by Sir Greg for the said relief operations.
Philippines TCC, it’s trustees, staff, volunteers and supporters are so proud of you Popsie Greg, the dad of TCCians.
