Hi there, hilom fam! ✨ Ever thought how one simple idea can ripple into real change? This week, we’re meeting two incredible stories: one about Gen Z Pinoys building apps to help transport, housing and agriculture and another about a search-and-rescue dog whose heroism reminds us that help comes in many forms. Let’s dive in and tune our hearts to innovation and compassion.

Young Filipino developers are stepping up. They’re not just coding for fun, they’re coding to make lives better. From apps that ease transport challenges to platforms that help farmers and renters navigate complex systems, their mission is service-driven. They’re living the spirit of bayanihan in a digital age: using their skills to uplift communities, lighten burdens, and still keep dreaming big. If we think about healing, it’s not always quiet. Sometimes it’s a smart app that says “we’ve got you.”
