He also commended for the outreach project for 65,000 organized tobacco farmers of Northern Luzon.

Under the agreement, Mighty Corp  donated to the farmers 16 hand tractors worth P2.5 million and 90 irrigation pumps worth P1.1 million.

Meanwhile, the foundation and Mighty Corp renovated several churches in the country such as earthquake-stricken churches in the Visayas region, Basilica Minore of the Our Lady of Piat Church in Piat, Cagayan in 2012, and the renovation of the Diocesan Shrine of Immaculate Conception in Naic, Cavite last year.
