Trim of Change

April 21, 2025

In a community where small acts of kindness can spark big changes, Barangay H2 in Dasmariñas, Cavite, became a shining example of hope and renewal. On that special day, the community witnessed the power of giving as M Lhuillier’s OPEC Kalayaan brought its heartfelt project to life. With free haircuts and slippers for in need residents, the initiative didn’t just offer practical assistance—it transformed lives by restoring confidence, dignity, and a sense of belonging.

The event, warmly welcomed by Barangay Captain John Renan Ilano Mendoza, showcased the power of community outreach. Skilled hairstylists Catherine Santos, Chynna Erestain, Reylen Matias, and Rolly Regalado gave beneficiaries professional haircuts that symbolized fresh starts and renewed hope. Beyond grooming, OPEC Kalayaan donated essential supplies such as a computer printer, filing tray, and bond paper to the barangay office, ensuring long-term benefits for the community.

A total of 64 residents received haircuts and slippers, along with thoughtful giveaways like backpacks, notebooks, face towels, ML Water, and dried mangoes. While waiting, they enjoyed snacks, turning the event into a joyful experience. Behind the scenes, Norberto Esternon ensured the event ran smoothly, while inspiring words from M Lhuillier officers, AM Arlyn Tizon, and OPEC Kalayaan President Ruel P. Lungcay reminded everyone of the importance of unity and giving back. Their efforts reflected M Lhuillier’s role as “Ang Tulay ng Pamilyang Pilipino,” bridging communities and offering hope.
