Francis Panganiban is a Filipino social worker of Community and Family Services International (CFSI) and has been serving refugees in the Philippines for five years. His passion is to give clients quality service of psychosocial support and gets motivation from clients becoming self-reliant.

“In this time of pandemic, we need to strive being creative in serving our clients. We maximize different communications channel to reach and talk to them,” he shared.

Francis also extends support to CFSI emergency responses. Last July, he is part of the team who distributed relief packs to victim-survivors of Taal Volcano eruption in Batangas Province.

Despite the threats of possible infection from the coronavirus, Francis still lends a helping hand to the evacuees.

“I live to serve the people. The passion of serving others is my superpower,” Francis said proudly.

The act of service will always be in Francis. He’s committed to be part of the limited few who gives their effort and strength in service to the vulnerable people. #
