The Kapatid Ko, Mahal Ko project is a heartfelt initiative of the TGP National Grand Council USA, created to extend genuine brotherhood and meaningful support to Triskelions experiencing difficult times. Guided by the core values of unity, compassion, and service, this program reflects the true essence of fraternitas—standing together, especially when a brother or sister needs it most.

The TGP National Grand Council USA aims to make Kapatid Ko, Mahal Ko an annual initiative—one that consistently prioritizes Triskelions in need and ensures that no brother or sister is left behind. This year’s success was made possible through the collective generosity of the NGC councils, demonstrating once again that unity and shared responsibility remain strong within our organization.
The National Grand Council extends its deepest gratitude to the councils and individuals who supported this meaningful cause: San Diego, Inland Empire, Las Vegas, Alaska, Hawaii, Central California, and the Triskelions of Northern California, as well as Bro. Yvette Peynado of the Portland, Oregon Council for his significant contribution.
Special thanks to Sis. Teena Esteban of NCBA for her invaluable assistance, and to Bro. Nathan Nario and Bro. Art Archie Liguidliguid for representing the National Grand Council.
As we look ahead, we hope to expand this program and reach even more Triskelions in need. Those who wish to sponsor or support future Kapatid Ko, Mahal Ko initiatives are encouraged to contact any officer of the National Grand Council USA.
Together, we continue to live the spirit of kapatiran—because Kapatid Ko, Mahal Ko.
