Frequently Asked Questions

We aim to take these efforts outside the company as well and directly give aid to communities. On September 1 of 2018, the DBOS Team went to Brgy. Bagumbuhay in Quezon City and hosted an outreach program to help single mothers and senior citizens in the community. Our staff assisted in conducting a free medical checkup and a fun-filled Zumba activity. Afterwards, we gave away snacks and gift bags to help provide food for our beloved participants.
