Eels Philippines is a group bonded by our love and support to Asia Prince Jang Keun Suk. Inspired by his generous heart, our group organized a project to help children who needs proper care and affection. Our first chosen project is Hospicio de San Jose, a Catholic welfare institution in the Philippines. It is also the first social welfare agency and has been a home to orphans, abandoned and special children. As of now, the orphanage supports 88 children.
Eels Philippines Gathering for a Cause aims to provide these children food, materials and fun activities to show our love and let them feel that someone cares for them, allow them to experience quality of life and to renew their hope. As Jang Keun Suk once said “The intent of helping others is to return as much as I receive” EELs Philippines salutes and believe in his way of giving back everything that God has provided for us.
Assembly and distribution of shirts for the members and preparation for the program.
The program started at 10:00AM, a prayer led by Vita Catherine Ionne Isaac and a welcome message from our very own Jennifer Artartes the founder of EELS Philippines.
It was fulfilling to see kids having fun with games and prizes.
Jollibee (mascot) made a special appearance that really made the kids happy.
EELS also participate in games and perform a dance number
with Jollibee.
We served food and assist the kids while having their meal.
We offered biscuits and medicines to the orphanage. Loot bags, balloons and gifts were also given to the kids.
The children performed a song number that really touched our hearts.

The program at the orphanage ended at 12NN. EELS then went off to our second venue at Casa Bocobo to celebrate Prince Jang Keun Suk’s 25th Birthday.
EELs Philippines 1st Gathering and JSK Birthday Celebration is a meet and greet event for all Filipina Eels. This is our way of showing our undying love, utmost support and dedication to one and only Prince Jang Keun Suk. Though JKS will not be present in this event, his presence in our hearts is enough to make this event fun, memorable and successful.
Our second location: Casa Bocobo Hotel
Registration and name tag distribution.
EELS assist on setting up posters and banners.
The program started at 1:30 PM. Jenill and I hosted the party. An opening prayer again was led by Vita. Lunch has been served and everyone enjoyed chatting and mingling with their new found eel friends. We were so excited as if we knew each other for so long..
While having lunch we watched YAB BTS on wide screen. The whole room was filled with screams and laughter. (Staffs of Casa Bocobo rushed to see what’s causing the chaos LOL!)
After having our scrumptious lunch. Jennifer gave her opening and welcome message, followed by a special announcement by Ms. Agnes of Behind the Scene International Productions Incorporated.
We had so much fun during games and raffle draws. There were so many exciting prizes, that even the losing team for each game received gifts for participating. We gave out lots of posters, DVD’s, Magazine and original goods from WPS.

It was indeed a memorable and rewarding experience for us. EELS Philippines will continue to support and love Prince Jang Keun Suk. We do believe that this project is something not only EELs Philippines but also EELs around the world can be proud of.
