The activity introduced kids to basic kitchen skills such as peeling fruits and decorating pancakes, filling the day with smiles and excitement.The visit ended on a heartwarming note when the children surprised her with a special song performance. She later shared gifts with them, making the experience even more memorable.The partnership also supports World Vision’s Noche Buena campaign, which encouraged Filipinos to donate at least P1,000 to provide gift packs to children. Through the initiative, around 24,000 children nationwide received Noche Buena gifts.World Vision Philippines National Director Dr. Herbert Carpio said the organization is excited to welcome Marquez as an ambassador, noting that her creativity and influence can help encourage more Filipinos to support children in need.With this new chapter, she continues to show that food can be a powerful tool—not just for creativity, but for hope, kindness, and change.

For award-winning content creator Abi Marquez, food has always been more than just something to cook and eat.
