Kodus to Mighty Corporation and the Wong Chu King Foundation!
Mighty Corporation or Mighty Corp, the first and only Filipino-owned cigarette manufacturing company in the Philippines is also the most active business entity when it comes to Catholic apostolic works.
They have been involved in a lot of projects particularly in support of the Catholic church and their various endeavors.
The Roman Catholic prelate of La Union recently commended the Wong Chu King Foundation, the social action arm of Mighty Corporation, for giving top priority to apostolic works and Catholic education programs.
Bishop Rodolfo Beltran of San Fernando City said that Mighty Corp through the Wong Chu King Foundation has donated to various church initiatives and also funded the scholarship program for the poor children in Lagawe, Bontoc, that includes four seminarians.
“The parents of these students are low-income farmers producing only for local consumption. You can imagine the positive impact this kind of support has for them,” said Fr. Beltran.
Created in 1990, the foundation aims to give honor to the memory of Wongchuking, the family patriarch, a philanthropist known for his generosity to the poor.
The foundation’s thrust includes scholarship programs and raising funds for other charitable projects.
Wong Chu King Foundation renovated the Basilica Minore of the Our Lady of Piat Church in Cagayan province two years ago as well as the Diocesan Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Naic, Cavite last year.
Auxiliary Bishop Ricardo Baccay of Tuguegarao City described the foundation's current initiatives as “a step in the right direction... if Wong Chu King Foundation is really out to help schools, putting up libraries is the best form of help that it can give.”
Meanwhile, Archbishop emeritus Diosdado Talamayan of the Archdiocese of Tuguegarao City said: “I have personally known Mrs. Nelia Wongchuking, the chariman of the board of trustees of the Wong Chu King Foundation. She and her family are great devotees of the Our Lady of Piat. They have erected a chapel in Malolos City, Bulacan, dedicated to the Our Lady of Piat, which was blessed by many Bishops including Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales in 2012.”
