The always jovial Baby de Jesus has been a generous benefactor of the Daughters of Saint Paul Philippines in Pasay City for 36 years now.
Known for sharing her blessings not just with family and friends but with the underprivileged of society as well, Baby has been supporting the Sisters and their various projects for many years.

True to the mission of living out and proclaiming the Gospel, the Sisters, through the aid of philanthropists like Baby, have been instrumental in spreading the word and love of God through various means.
Kudos to Baby and the Daughters of Saint Paul Philippines for their worthwhile efforts!
