Bagong Silang, Caloocan City

Bagong Silang in Caloocan City is the birthplace of GK. It is a relocation area for demolition victims coming from different squatters’ areas and the biggest barangay in the Philippines. The FCSBRC group from the USA had a big hand in convincing the residents that indeed, GK is the key to the transformation of their lives, giving more than 35 homes to the families in this barangay. A Sibol School was built with the help of the Tarroza family (their daughter, Christine, ran the GK Hero’s Run in LA in 2006 and the proceeds went to build the school). Now, a community park lined with trees and benches has been built in an open space. It is proof that beauty abounds in the lives of the GK Kapitbahayans (residents).

Sitio Habana, Brgy Catigan, Toril, Davao City

Pueblo Antonio GK Village is a legacy village of the Habana family given as a symbol of gratitude to its original tenants of 18 families for their many years of service. Each family was awarded a lot size of 300 square meters which can accommodate up to 4 houses so they are able to house their extended families. A 1,000-square meter lot was also awarded per family to be used as their productivity area where they can grow vegetables or flowers and earn from selling these. There are plans to build a “hometel”, too, for tourists and guests. On April 2007, the Reyes-Munda family saw this vision and partnered with GK and the Habana family to build the Reyes-Munda GK Village in the GK site to help complete the 64 houses.
