The Philippine Qipao Culture Association and CNTV jointly held a charity event to celebrate the Year of the Horse on Feb. 6, providing essential goods and financial aid to 850 vulnerable individuals.
The “2026 Year of the Horse Celebration- Kindheart Connects China and the Philippines: Spring Festival Charity Public Welfare Activity” targeted women and children in the greatest need.
Philippine Qipao Culture Association founding president Winny Chang said the charity distributed red envelopes, known as ang pao, along with food and daily necessities to the beneficiaries.
The Federation of Filipino-Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) provided substantial support for the mission.
Founded in 2017, the Philippine Qipao Culture Association operates on a “no membership fee” principle. The organization relies on the voluntary contributions of its members to fund its outreach programs.
“Those with money contribute money; those with time contribute time,” Chang said, noting that the association pools these resources to support Filipino women and children.
The organization has been active for nine years, focusing on community welfare and cultural exchange.
While the specific value of the ang pao was not disclosed, the association ensured that 100 percent of the collected resources reached the 850 recipients during the event.
