    Over 100 children from the barangay were given toys and goodies as the Christmas holiday dawns upon the country. The Ambassador of Israel, H.E. Menashe Bar On will be spearheaded the event together with members of the Embassy and the Shalom Club. At the event was Barangay West Triangle chairperson, Mr. Beng Sia.

    An Israeli clown from the Dream Doctors Project was also on-hand to cheer the children up. Moshe Twito – an actor and medical clown entertainer – has been performing at various public hospitals in Manila.
