this one is true. I can personally atest to that. I know Dylan Wilk. He's a personal friend of mine. He sold his BMW and donated all the proceeds to put up a village in Bulacan. It's called the BMW M3 village now if I'm not mistaken. He also now lives a very simple life. Sometimes he even takes the bus and taxi here. He doesn't have a car here. From multimillionaire to now just a simple person. Not because he lost it all but because he gave it all up.

Dylan is also now the son-in-law of Tony Meloto who is the executive director of GK. T.M. also gave up his corporate life for GK. Now living simply. So literally they both are walking the walk and talking the talk.

It's hard to base your opinions by the virtue of the speech. If you get to know these people then you'll probably change your minds.

I'm saddened by the fact that a lot of people instead of supporting or helping cast a shadow of doubt at the intentions of others. In all honesty, I really don't care if may motive yung ibang company. If it helps assure their market, i really don't give a rat's ass. All i care about is that people are being helped. There are people here in our country who have new homes and better living conditions.

As for those who say that indirectly big businesses rely on the poor. Maybe here but in 1st world countries not so much. They rely on masses sure but that doesn't mean poor ang masses.

We can go on and on about this.. The simple fact is, it's bad enough to just sit on the sidelines while others are doing something for the country and their fellow men. What's worse is sitting on the sideline and criticizing those who help.
