​

The 440th Aircraft Maintenance Group (440th AMG) successfully spread the spirit of Christmas to the 426 Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) at the BJMP Lipa Male Dormitory during its Christmas Outreach Program held on 05 December 2025.

​

Anchored on the theme “Handog ang Saya,” the activity emphasized generosity, compassion, and brotherhood values that shine brightest during the holiday season, especially for those away from their families.

​

The program commenced with a prayer led by MSg Roveric G Nacion PAF, Acting Assistant Group Sergeant Major, followed by warm welcome remarks from JCINSP Lord Bryce Kinao, Assistant Jail Warden of BJMP Lipa. Joyful performances from the 440th AMG Band and talented PDLs filled the venue with lively Christmas spirit, while fun games facilitated by the Group brought excitement and meaningful interaction among participants.

​

A key highlight was the symbolic distribution of hygiene kits and Jollibee meals to all PDLs simple, yet heartfelt tokens of care extended by the Group. In his inspirational message, COL ROMMEL C TOMAS PAF (GSC), Group Commander of the 440th AMG, conveyed his warmest holiday greetings and reminded the PDLs that they remain valued members of the community, deserving of hope, compassion, and the opportunity for transformation.

​

In response, PDL representative PDL Juanita expressed sincere appreciation to the 440th AMG, the sponsors, and BJMP Lipa for their unwavering support. The program concluded with the turnover of a fabricated garbage bin crafted by 440th AMG personnel for the BJMP Lipa facility.

​

The 440th AMG extends its deepest gratitude to the generous sponsors who made the activity possible:

​

• Jollibee – Lipa Uptown

• Jollibee – SM City Lipa

• Jollibee – Maraouy

• Jollibee – Fiestaworld Mall

• ACDI Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Inc.

• City of Lipa Matikas Eagles Club

​

This outreach initiative reflects the enduring commitment of the Air Education and Training Command, particularly the 440th AMG, to promote kindness, service, and compassion—not only within its ranks but also to individuals in detention facilities during the holiday season. May this gesture serve as a reminder that hope is always within reach, transformation is always possible, and stronger partnerships with BJMP Lipa and AETC can continue to flourish in the years to come.
