Through a lengthy social media post accompanied by photos from the outreach, Mika admitted that the experience changed the way she views the struggles many families face every day. While she had long been aware that malnutrition exists, she said witnessing it personally left an emotional impact she could not ignore.
“Yesterday was one of those days na alam kong hindi ko makakalimutan. Alam ko namang may malnutrition. We hear about it all the time. Pero seeing it with my own eyes was a completely different experience.”
Mika recalled meeting children who were severely underweight and others who did not even have slippers to wear. She said the encounter reminded her that many comforts people enjoy daily are often taken for granted.

“Meeting these kids, seeing how underweight some of them were, seeing some of them without slippers… ang sakit pala talaga sa puso. It made me realize how many things we take for granted every single day.”
During the outreach, Mika worked with the non-profit organization Project Pearls, helping distribute meals and copies of her book Lipad. She emphasized that the group's efforts extend far beyond a single feeding activity.
“One thing that really inspired me was the organization I got to work with. This wasn't just a one-day feeding program. For the past two months, they've been consistently showing up. Providing warm meals, monitoring each child's progress until they reach a healthier weight, and even giving them access to free education and medical care.”
She also commended the organization's approach to donations, explaining that it prioritizes actual necessities instead of financial contributions.
“What I admired even more was how intentional they are with helping. They don't accept cash donations. Instead, they ask for things the children actually need. Food, milk, medicine, slippers, school supplies, and other essentials so every donation goes directly to improving these kids' lives.”
The actress admitted she left the community carrying a heavy heart, not because she had lost hope, but because the experience reminded her that these realities continue to exist around many Filipinos every day.
“I left Tondo with a heavy heart. Not because I lost hope, but because I realized this is happening around us every single day. We know it exists, but sometimes it doesn't get the attention it deserves until we're standing right in front of it.”
Mika encouraged everyone to remain consistent in helping others instead of treating kindness as a one-time gesture.
“Yesterday reminded me that kindness isn't about showing up once. It's about showing up consistently, even when nobody's watching.”
She likewise reminded the public to appreciate everyday blessings and extend help whenever possible.
“If you're reading this, I hope this reminds you to never take your meals, your health, your education, or even the slippers on your feet for granted. And if you're in a position to help, even in the smallest way, please do. You don't have to change the whole world. But you can absolutely help change someone's world.”
Ending her message, Mika thanked the children she met and the volunteers who continue dedicating their time to improving young lives.
“To the kids we met yesterday, thank you for reminding me what resilience looks like. And to everyone who quietly dedicates their time and hearts to these children... thank you. The work you do matters more than words can ever express.”
The outreach is another addition to Mika's civic efforts after previously donating her ₱1 million PBB Celebrity Collab Edition cash prize to Duyan Ni Maria Children's Home in Pampanga.
