He has demonstrated selflessness through his devotion to helping the public at large through his numerous collaborations with his wife' Chi Atienza Valdepenas' orphanage: Home for the Angels, which works closely with street children, the LA dance troupe and senior citizen P.O. In addition, he helped attend rallies against legislation that runs anathema to his stated opposition the death penalty, and extrajudicial killings. Some of his personal programs in Laguna, his home province include anti-drug campaigns, sports programs, job fairs and training and seminars for the youth. In 2019 he has accepted yet another undertaking: to work full-time as President of Goodwill Philippines, championing the cause of the PWDs. He is humbled and honoured to be chosen to take on such an important responsibility. He has selflessly agreed to do so with no salary, nor deriving any benefit from the organization. Armed with just his fellow member volunteers, and the generosity of its magnanimous donors, Von has now taken on the mission of making Goodwill’s vision of a PWD inclusive Philippines a reality.
