Robert Bolick has been eager to help the frontliners in his hometown in Ormoc City and with the help of Uling Roasters, aid has been provided in a blink of an eye.
“Bihira lang ako makauwi sa amin, once or twice a year lang pero dun ako lumaki e,” the 24-year-old NorthPort Batang Pier superstar said.
With his plan of helping his hometown, Bolick reached out to Uling Roasters, the sister company of Chooks-to-Go, and Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc. (BAVI) president Ronald Mascariñas did not hesitate to lend his helping hand to Bolick.
“Gusto ko magpasalamat kay Boss Ronald kasi when I messaged him, hindi man lang tumagal ng one-minute, sumagot siya kagad. Hindi sila nag-hesitate,” Bolick said.
After Bolick’s request, the Uling Roasters personnel immediately distributed packed meals to local hospitals, police stations, and checkpoints in Ormoc.
Bolick’s giving back to Ormoc will last for three days and will cover all areas mentioned from their breakfast to their dinner.
“When Robert messaged that he wanted to help out his hometown, of course we can’t say no. Robert is family to us since he was part of the 23-for-2023 Gilas Cadets team that represented us during the Premiere Cup two years ago,” said president Mascariñas.
