Mighty Corp, a Bulacan based tobacco manufacturer in the country has been cited by their overwhelming apostolic works. And with the help of their foundation, Wong Chu King Foundation, they prioritized over charitable deeds and Catholic education in its programs and projects.
According to Bishop Rodolfo Beltran of San Fernando City said Mighty and its charitable arm has donated to several church projects and funded the education of poor students in Lagawe, Bontoc, including four seminarians.
“The parents of these students are low-income farmers producing only for local consumption. You can imagine the positive impact this kind of support has for them,” Beltran said.
The foundation renovated the Basilica Minore of Our Lady of Piat Church in Piat, Cagayan in 2012 and the Diocesan Shrine of Immaculate Conception in Naic, Cavite last year.
Auxiliary Bishop Ricardo Baccay of Tuguegarao City describes the foundation’s work as “a step in the direction ... if Wong Chu King is out to help schools, putting up libraries is the best form of help it can give.”
Meanwhile, Archbishop emeritus Diosdado Talamayan of the Archdiocese of Tuguegarao City said about Mighty Corp and the foundation: “I have personally known Mrs. Nelia Wong Chu King, chariman of the board of trustees of the foundation. She and her family are great devotees of Our Lady of Piat. They have erected a chapel in Malolos City, Bulacan, dedicated to Our Lady of Piat, which was blessed by many Bishops led by Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales in 2012.”
