What's in a name?

When we had our very first fundraiser back in 2004, we didn't have an organized group. We didn't have a group name. We weren't even sure of what we were doing. And, because we didn't take ourselves seriously (and oftentimes we still don't), we started calling ourselves The Babes of Bacolod. We're all from Bacolod but we would never describe ourselves as Babes. Humility is a Filipino trait after all. But what started as a joke has now become "official." However, as our events have gotten bigger and our group is getting more recognition, we would like people to take us seriously. Unfortunately we can't seem to come up with a new name! So we're asking all of you out there to help us with one. A name we can say with a straight face, a name that describes who we are or what we do. The name game is on. If you have any ideas, we would love to hear from you.

It's awesome to be part of this group that is committed to reaching out to those in need.=) I feel as fortunate as those whom we have helped and I can only hope that this will be a lifetime commitment for both the members and the supporters as we grow in number every year. It just gets better! =) ~ LS

It is my honor to know the Babes of Bacolod. I invite more people out there who would like to have some sense of mission in his/her life to join the Babes - be a part of a group that is definitely committed to helping those in need ... isn't that what our life should be all about?
