”All-Time Media Personality Award”
What is he doing now? Philip is currently working with Duna Man foundation to build wood playgrounds for special kids. Among his many charity works we can mention: cooking for "Imeldahof Children", donating BBQ tickets for Casa Cuna, and sponsoring uniforms for the softball and baseball teams of girls and boys from 5 to 13 years old. When we asked him where did all started, he answered that he really never started, he just always liked helping, It feels natural. “For me helping people is better than winning the lottery,” Philip says, “So why not help them? If someone comes up to me with raffle tickets for a good cause, I am all for it.” On the last Aruba's National Day, Philip donated t-shirts to all the patients staying at the local Hospital and on Sinterklaas Day, together with his mother, they gave presents to the kids hospitalized. Philip owns the "Philip’s Animal Garden" and part of his daily responsibilities are feeding the animals, ordering their food, cutting the grass and constantly fixing or building the animal enclosures. His short-term goal changes every day. He says that he wants to help the animals that needs most help in the present moment. As a long-term goal, in terms of the foundation, Philip wants it to become completely self-sustainable and eco friendly. For Philip every day is different, because somehow every day he stumbles onto something or someone who needs help. “I want to help anyone and anything that is helpless”.
