On August 15, Awesam Smile Dental Clinic, in partnership with its brand ambassador Boss Toyo, held a successful outreach mission in Happyland, Tondo, Manila.
The event provided much-needed support to the community, including distributing rice, groceries, and school supplies to families in attendance.
The day also featured a feeding program, where lugaw and ice cream were served to the delighted children.
The mission, which was spearheaded by Dr. Sam Bernardo, the owner of Awesam Smile Dental Clinic, saw over 400 people receiving free dental services. This event marked the clinic’s largest outreach effort to date. Dr. Bernardo emphasized the importance of oral health, particularly in communities where access to dental care is limited due to economic challenges.
“Every year talaga simula nung grumaduate ako, nagwowork na ako on my own, sinimulan ko na talaga ang outreach program,” Dr. Bernardo shared. “Gusto naming makatulong, gusto naming makashare ng blessings so, actually siya ang aming first ambassador talaga namin na kilala kasi gusto naming maspread ang awareness about dental health.”
Boss Toyo, whose real name is Jayson Luzadas, played a key role in the event. As the clinic’s first ambassador, he has been instrumental in promoting the importance of dental care. Dr. Bernardo explained their partnership, saying, “Gusto ko si Boss Toyo kasi siya ‘yung makakatulong din kasi. Dito kasi sa Pilipinas, actually, marami talagang hindi alam kung ano ba ang kahalagahan ng ipin, ng dental health natin.”
The outreach mission in Tondo is just the beginning of Awesam Smile Dental Clinic’s ‘Balik-Ngiti’ campaign, which aims to provide even more comprehensive services in the future. The team plans to distribute dentures to the elderly and expand their efforts nationwide. Dr. Bernardo and her team are committed to bringing smiles to more communities across the Philippines.
