The kids serenade the Spouses with Christmas Carols during the program
Christmas came early for the children of the Tahanang Mapagpala Center in Caloocan City when the Senate Spouses Foundation, Inc. treated them to a day of shopping fun in their annual Christmas in November event at SM Store Megamall.

Led by SSFI President, Audrey Zubiri, the spouses played Santa to the sixty kids as they shopped for clothes, shoes, accessories, and toys. Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano, Tootsy Angara, Neil Llamanzares, Nancy de la Rosa, Gladys Cruz (wife of Senator Joel Villanueva), Atty. Emmeline Villar, and Maricel Tulfo (daughter of Senator Raffy Tulfo) took time from their busy schedules to take the kids around the store to shop for their little heart’s desires.
