Baguio City Host Lions Club held a multifaceted outreach program in Asin Elementary School in Tuba, Benguet. It has been eight years since the club’s last visit to Asin, so this undertaking was a long time coming.
This journey to Asin stirred some nostalgic feelings in District 301-C Governor Charlie Torres of Baguio City Host Lions Club, for this was where he grew up and went to school as a child.
The Lions proceeded to distribute eyeglasses and sunglasses to the people of Asin, and handed out rubber slippers, toothbrush and toothpaste to the 90 school children of Asin Elementary School. BCHLC also turned over hundreds of second-hand books to the school library, and handed out more books to the residents of Asin.

Ansagan, Tuba, Benguet
Baguio City Host Lions Club embarked on a mission to provide free eye screenings and distribute eyeglasses, used clothes and basic commodities such as rice and sardines to the residents of Ansagan. We also donated text books and other reading material to the pupils of the local school.
Barangay Ansagan is located in the southernmost tip of the municipality of Tuba, Benguet Province. It is perhaps the most impoverished barangay in Tuba, with a huge portion still without electricity, and its children having to walk great distances to go to school.
Getting to Ansagan is no easy matter, either. Although Tuba is adjacent to Baguio, it still took over four hours for the Baguio City Host Lions to get there due to the remoteness of Ansagan and due to the bad road conditions. But what a satisfying feeling it was when the Lions finally arrived at Ansagan and buckled down to work, helping those in need.
