On October 10, 2026, the GPM Bowling team took to the lanes at Paeng’s Gateway Bowl, Gateway Mall 2, Cubao, Quezon City for Strike for Hope, a charity bowling tournament that united 18 teams for a single, vital mission: raising financial assistance for a cancer patient.

Representing the team were GPM bowlers Andhie Villanueva (GPM SAP Specialist I), Diana Lumot (Garrets Head of Training and Superintendents), and Mar Llagas (GPM Payroll and Benefits Senior Manager), alongside Lester Damaso, an external bowling enthusiast who stepped up to share the cause.

The squad capped off a stellar performance by clinching First Runner-Up, a milestone made even sweeter by individual honors. Andhie Villanueva dominated the field to bag both the Female Top Scorer and Female Best Striker awards.

Beyond the competitive spirit, the event was a vivid embodiment of Magsaysay’s core value—We Care in action. It proved that a shared passion for a sport can turn into a lifeline for someone facing a tough battle. Through every roll, cheer, and contribution, the participants showed that solidarity reaches far beyond the bowling lanes.

Bowl with Purpose. Play with Heart. Strike for Hope.

This is what it means to bring We Care to life—transforming a simple game into a powerful reminder that compassion can change a life.
