GGPoker.ph Donates ₱1,000,000 To Feeding Metro Manila To Counter Typhoon Carina’s Impact
GGPoker.ph, the World’s Biggest Poker Room, is proud to announce that it has donated 1,000,000 Philippine pesos to the Feeding Metro Manila charity in the immediate aftermath of Typhoon Carina. This powerful natural disaster devastated Manila and its environs in late July, causing extensive flooding and damage across a wide area.
Feeding Metro Manila will use the funds for three primary purposes: to provide food for needy children impacted by the devastating natural disaster, to improve the locations from which the charity distributes food, and to help fund a library for children in the city’s most impoverished areas.
GGPoker.ph hosted a Charity Freeroll Series of online poker tournaments from August 10 through August 18, which gave Philippine poker players multiple free opportunities to play for prizes. The poker room also encouraged players taking part in the series to consider voluntarily donating to worthy charities helping the country recover from Typhoon Carina.
“All of us need help at one time or another, and the great Philippine poker community is always ready and willing to support their fellow countrymen and women,” said Ron Dale Gascon, President of GGPoker Philippines. “GGPoker is proud to be in a position to help and to acknowledge that there are some things more important in life than playing our favorite card game; we are delighted to support Feeding Metro Manila and see the city’s most needy children receive relief in the aftermath of this terrible disaster.”
Luis Banson, Founder of Feeding Metro Manila, expressed his appreciation to GGPoker.ph and the wider Philippine poker community by adding, “Feed the hungry and experience the power of Love.”
GGPoker.ph is licensed by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) and connects Philippine players to the rest of the global poker community.
New GGPoker.ph players can claim the poker room’s Welcome Bonus, earn additional rewards with the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion, and automatically join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, offering regular cash prizes.
