When I found out recently that Saudi
Arabia based- Jane Ampoloquio of Tagbilaran City had facilitated the turnover
of cash donations & goods for the families that had been affected by the
October 15 2013 earthquake that struck Bohol, I got elated with the news and my
mind suddenly went back to year 2003 when I first met Ms. Ampoloquio.
We were organizing a big fashion gala as
one of the TBTK 2003 highlights and I had picked Jane from the casting call for
the fashion event. Although she was practically a newbie in modeling, she had
the willowy and svelte figure, height and the beauty that was perfect for
modeling.
She was still raw but had a lot of
potential and was a fast learner when it came to posing and gliding on the
runway
After that fashion show, our paths never crossed again perhaps, because I was so engrossed in the academe and she had become a registered nurse.
It had to take an earthquake for our
paths to connect once again through B.R.I.D.G.E.S were we both volunteer
According to web designer &
photographer Chrismael Caldo, the donations were through the collective efforts
of a Saudi Arabia- based group of models and photographers that includes our
very own Jane Ampoloquio.
Jane Ampoloquio worked tirelessly to
help gather these artists in the arts & fashion world for a photo shoot
that generated cash donations and relief goods
Lest people forget, there are still
scores of families that are still reeling from the devastating after effects of
the earthquake that struck Bohol four months back. Their plight has been
eclipsed by Super Typhoon Yolanda that ravaged most parts of Eastern Visayas
To Jane Ampoloquio and to everyone
involved in the fundraiser, hats off to you!
