PBSP exhibits Christmas inspired artworks at SM City's The Northwing

100 Christmas-inspired artworks adorned The Northwing at SM City Cebu last December 6-9, 2007. PBSP further expanded its 17-year old Christmas Cards Fund Campaign by selling the artworks that inspire the Christmas cards annually produced by the foundation. The timeless artworks were created by Visayan students who have participated in PBSP’s Christmas Cards Design Contest.

To date, PBSP’s Christmas Cards Fund Campaign has generated over P2 million, planting over 200,000 trees in the Cebu hillylands, Metro Cebu’s water source. Meanwhile, PBSP’s partnerships with the business sector, government and people’s organizations have reforested 4,000 hectares of the Cebu Hillyland’s 30,000-hectare expanse.
