In a world where glitz and glamour often take center stage, few individuals shine as brightly through their acts of kindness as they do through their achievements. 

One such luminary is Carlo Morris Galang, the President and CEO of Prime Events Productions Philippines Foundation Inc. Known for spearheading the most prestigious male pageant in the Philippines, Misters of Filipinas, now in its 11th year, and Man of the World, on its 6th edition, one of the major international male pageants, Carlo recently celebrated his birthday in a truly remarkable and altruistic manner.

Surrounded by loved ones, Carlo embarked on a heartwarming journey to the Little Sisters of the Abandoned Elderly - Sta. Teresa Jornet Home in San Juan City. This wasn't a mere birthday celebration but a meaningful gesture of giving back to the community. The organization, which Galang has long supported, received not only donations of food and sacks of rice but also the priceless gift of time and companionship.

Carlo's visit to the charity was not just a charitable act but a joyous occasion filled with music and entertainment. Alongside Misters of Filipinas Tourism Culture Universe, Drei Arias, and ENVIE myman ambassador Mikey Pili, Galang brought smiles to the faces of both residents and visitors. The Lolas of the charity even took to the stage, showcasing their own songs and adding to the festive atmosphere, creating a memorable and uplifting experience for all.

Following the heartwarming visit, the celebration continued at MOF Coffee, a hub created under the Misters of Filipinas brand, known for its inclusive environment and delicious offerings. Drumming beats filled the air, creating a lively ambiance along the streets of F. Manalo, San Juan City.

Carlo's Havana-themed birthday bash at the re-opened restaurant, El Bottega, was a testament to the impact he has had on the lives of those around him. The event was graced by a diverse group of celebrity and content creator friends, including International and Hollywood Stylist Oli Sara, Prince of Boys Love series Aki Torres, Rising star Ely Cellan, Kim Gonzaga, KDM of Massage Luxx Group, Misters of Filipinas King and Net25 Actor Drei Arias, Billy Tatar, Juan Calma, Francine Garcia, Howell Pantollana, The gorgeous Queen Buraot, Ms Tenten, and Mikey Pili. Their presence at the celebration not only demonstrated their respect for Galang's philanthropic endeavors but also highlighted their widespread admiration for his selfless acts.

Serenaded by Tawag ng Tanghalan Finalist Dior Boronia and pianist Jas Arandela of Alamid and treated to a captivating drag performance by Sofie Vinas, Galang was surrounded by love, laughter, and the warm embrace of community. The night was capped off with beats from DJ J Mateo, ensuring that memories of this extraordinary celebration would linger long after the final note faded.

This celebration would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors: El Bottega Kitchen, TPC event styling by Mervin Galang, MOF Coffee, CMG Construction, PEPPS TV, SO-MOT Viet Taste, MOF Cocktails, Grazeful Queens and Bingo Plus.

As the stars twinkled overhead and laughter filled the air, Carlo's birthday celebration was a poignant reminder of the power of generosity, compassion, and community spirit. In a world often overshadowed by darkness, Galang's shining example continues illuminating the path toward a brighter, more inclusive future. #peppstv #carlomorrisgalang
