The merry air of Christmas 2011 was marred with fear and despair as Typhoon Sendong caused deadly floodrains in the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan. Although thousands of lives were taken and houses were shaken, the Filipino's bayanihan spirit lives on.

In this collective oneness, HCG took an active part in rebuilding lost homes of the victims. Through the continued partnership with GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF), HCG donated waterclosets for the 200 houses to be built in Kapuso Village in Iligan City.

Sharing what it means to have the comfort of a bathroom, the true living room is close to HCG's heart.
