LAGUINDINGAN, Misamis Oriental — October 30, 2025.


The MORESCO-1 Rank and File Employees Association (RAFEA) successfully staged its first-ever Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity dedicated to senior citizens, dubbed “GOLDEN CARE DAY,” held at the Laguindingan Covered Court.

In celebration of Senior Citizens’ Month, RAFEA extended its care and appreciation to the elderly community through a day of pampering, wellness, and heartfelt interaction.

The event featured free haircuts, massages, and hair coloring services, courtesy of volunteer barbers, massage therapists, and RAFEA ladies. More than just grooming and relaxation, the initiative became a meaningful avenue to express gratitude and respect for the invaluable contributions of our Lolos and Lolas in the community.

In his message, RAFEA President Engineer Michael Jason Estrera expressed gratitude to all participants and volunteers who made the activity possible.

“Activities like this affirm our association’s role not only in promoting employees’ welfare but also in building a culture of collaboration and mutual respect within and outside the organization,” Estrera shared.

The Golden Care Day marks a milestone for RAFEA as it broadens its outreach beyond the workplace, strengthening MORESCO-1’s commitment to community service and compassion.

As the event concluded, laughter, music, and the warm smiles of the elderly reflected the true spirit of the celebration — that care knows no age, and service shines brightest when shared. ????
