Roger here. A proud member of Junior Chamber International (JCI) Manila, a globally active non-profit organization.
Our chapter alone executes and accomplishes more than 300 projects every year... a commitment we have upheld for over 75 years!
This year, my team and I are honored to help bring BIDA Games 2026 to life and make it a meaningful success for every child involved.
You’re probably wondering: what exactly are the BIDA Games?
“BIDA” means “hero” in Filipino and stands for Bridging Inclusivity for the Differently-Abled - a Paralympic-style sports festival for youth with a strong focus on inclusion, community, leadership, sports, and health.
What makes this project especially meaningful is this:
The BIDA Games are about much more than sports. Our main goal is to give children with disabilities confidence, opportunities, and the chance to show who they truly are, so they are not defined by their disability, but by something they can be proud of.
We want to create a space where they can experience community, recognition, and discover their own potential.
Last year, one of the participating children was even discovered by the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) and later got the opportunity to represent the country.
Don’t believe us?
Here is the official letter from Special Olympics Pilipinas confirming the achievement:
Lire Ebal, was selected to represent the Special Olympics Pilipinas team in both Texas and Indonesia.
These are exactly the kinds of opportunities and life-changing moments we hope to create.
Here is our project video from last year:

You might wonder how the funds will be used. The donations will help fund the organization and execution of the BIDA Games 2026, including sports equipment, venue logistics, transportation, meals, participant support, volunteer coordination, prices, assistive devices, and inclusive activities for children and youth with disabilities.
That’s why I personally want to invite you to become part of this initiative and help us give these children the chance to believe in themselves, discover their potential, and feel proud of what they can achieve.
Of course, donations are tax-deductible. As a thank you, supporters will also receive an official certificate and a shout-out.

Any remaining funds will be allocated toward other non-profit and community initiatives organized by JCI Manila.
