PALO, Leyte—Felicidad T. Sy and Archbishop John Forrosuelo Du prepare to unveil the marker of the Manuel Morgia Mascariñas Gymnasium at the Sacred Heart Seminary in Barangay Salvacion, Palo, Leyte.
The Sacred Heart Seminary was completely devastated by Supertyphoon Yolanda (international code name Haiyan) in 2013. The new gymnasium was donated by the Felicidad T. Sy Foundation, an affiliate of the SM Foundation Inc. (SMFI) that takes charge of its religious advocacy.
The Felicidad T. Sy Foundation had also extended its generous support to the reconstruction of the Palo Cathedral. At the turnover ceremony, Sy, whose birth month falls in May, was serenaded by the Palo Ambassador Orchestra and presented with a birthday cake. Sy and Archbishop Du are shown at right, as a game of basketball played by seminarians commenced.
Other guests were SMFI Executive Director Debbie Sy; Marissa Fernan, SVP of SM Prime; and Rose Siaco of the Felicidad Sy Foundation.
