In response to a fire that struck a community on New Year’s Day in Benguet province, New Life Community Care Foundation International, Inc. (NLCOM) – the compassion arm of New Life Philippines located inside Alabang Hills Village in Muntinlupa City – announced through social media that it teamed up with New Life La Trinidad to help the victims of Barangay Camp 6 in Tuba.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the January 21, 2025 social media post of NLCOM. Some parts in boldface…
A donation drive was held last January 14, 2025 in Barangay Camp 6, Tuba, Benguet, to provide relief bags and jugs of water to the victims of the house fire that occurred on January 1, 2025. The NLCOM team successfully collected donations from their generous contributors while New Life La Trinidad distributed the goods.
Donations and prayers poured in after the house fire, which broke out just an hour after the traditional New Year celebration. The incident destroyed 29 homes, leaving 31 families (135 individuals) homeless.
When the donations were delivered to the Barangay Hall, some of the fire victims arrived to claim their relief goods, and some of the individuals, after receiving their donations, were assisted to their temporary shelter.
The team interviewed the fire victims, shared words of encouragement, and prayed for them. Before leaving the site, they also visited the area affected by the tragic fire. Dreams and memories were among the many things that turned to ashes in the devastating aftermath. We are truly grateful for the capacity to help the community start to rebuild what was destroyed.
For the newcomers reading this, I previously blogged about NLCOM back in 2020 which you can read by clicking here and my most recent blog can viewed by clicking here, here, here and here. As mentioned earlier, NLCOM has an established record of providing relief to disaster victims and helping them rebuild their lives and communities as they recover.
NLCOM is committed to organizing activities from disaster preparedness trainings, relief goods distribution, mobile kitchen feeding operations, Psychological First Aid to kids and adults traumatized by a disaster, and rebuilding of damaged houses. To get to know NLCOM better, I recommend you watch their official YouTube video below…

In ending post, let me share with you a few holy scriptures that should remind you that God is our source, our provider and the blessedness of giving is absolutely true. Be remind that Lord Jesus is the hope of all nations.
Mercy to the needy is a loan to God, and God pays back those loans in full.
Proverbs 19:17 (MSG)
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV)
