Visual artist and former broadcast journalist Robert Alejandro collaborated with Angat Buhay Foundation to create a set of handsome cards called Hope Cards, which can be used for any occasion.
"This is a simple but heartfelt gift you can give to family and friends, most especially to our communities in need. Pwedeng ibahagi ang hope cards na ito tuwing (These hope cards can be given out on) birthday, pasko (Christmas), graduation, o anuman ang okasyon (or any occasion). Para rin ito sa mga kababayan nating nagsisilbing inspirasyon (These also can serve as inspiration to our countrymen)," former Vice President Leni Robredo, who founded Angat Buhay, on Facebook last 13 November, when the cards were launched, in time for the Christmas season.
The cards have four eye-catching designs depicting everyday Filipino life — a horse-drawn carriage or kalesa; a T'boli girl offering a bowl of food; a family with their pets; and people carrying a hut to show bayanihan.
A set of 12 Angat Buhay Hope Cards with the four designs are being offered for P899 through the online store Iskaparate (www.iskaparate.com/products/angat-buhay-hope-cards) at the Museo ng Pag-asa Gift Shop in Quezon City.
Angat Buhay executive director Raffy Magno thanked Alejandro for being "so generous with his time and talent since Day 1 of Angat Buhay's journey." Alejandro has been one of the numerous artists, including National Artists, and entertainment personalities who volunteered for the presidential campaign of Robredo, a first in history for the arts and culture sector. Many of them continue to volunteer and donate when Angat Buhay was established as a non-governmental organization supporting many aspects of development and responding to disasters and crises.

One-hundred percent of the money from the sales of the cards will be donated to Angat Buhay for the benefit of its partner communities and programs.
