Fine Dining Club Philippines, a vibrant community of over 23,300 culinary enthusiasts, has been instrumental in fostering unique dining partnerships and events, making this collaboration with Globe a perfect pairing.
The event builds on the momentum of Globe's Longest Hapag series, which bridged World Hunger Day to World Food Day and has mounted a number of food-driven fundraisers to gain support for the Hapag Movement.
Since its launch in August last year, the Hapag Movement has already raised P21.5 million, impacting close to 70,000 Filipinos through supplemental feeding and livelihood training.
With the Gourmet Giving Series, Globe further widens the ecosystem of support for the Hapag Movement, leveraging fine dining to inch closer to its goal of transforming the lives of 500,000 Filipinos facing involuntary hunger.
