The SPEEd Outreach 2024 has reached Nueva Ecija and Aurora, extending aid to residents in these areas.

The Society of Philippine Entertainment Editors (SPEEd) conducted its annual outreach program to assist needy communities. Officials and members of SPEEd visited Nampicuan, Nueva Ecija, and Dingalan, Aurora, last Thursday and Friday, April 4 and 5, to assist the residents there.

Led by its president, Salve Asis (from Pilipino Star Ngayon and Pang Masa), SPEEd extended cash donations to a parish in Nampicuan and a barangay in Dingalan, Aurora.

Leading beauty brand Beautéderm, led by CEO Rhea Anicoche-Tan and the largest healthcare company Unilab continued their generous support for SPEEd's mission with donations of cash and products.

The entertainment editors first visited the Immaculate Conception Parish Church, Diocesan Shrine of the Holy Face of Jesus, in Nampicuan. In cooperation with the head of the Promotion Committee, Fr. Renz Valente, a feeding program and a medical mission for the youth were conducted.

Dr. Rex Gaculais, along with volunteers, led the dental mission, providing free dental services to around 100 students and residents. Additionally, an Egg Caldo Caravan, initiated by the Magtalas family, led by Councilor Alvin Magtalas, his wife Filipina Magtalas, and their son, actor-singer Beaver Magtalas from Star Hunt, provided food to the parishioners.
