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.

Hello there! I'm a 21-year-old university student majoring in Finnish and Korean Language and Literature. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
