        MOA is a charitable organization founded last July 23, 2005.  Their mission is to provide humanitarian services to the needy, underprivileged, distressed and exemplify their responsiveness to the needs of communities.  The long journey they endured together on the team was all well worth.  Their fundraiser on America would enable to help here in our province and provide medical assistance in medical needs.  Miss MOA 2010-2013 Darelle Faye Marie Panlasigui Lu showed her support to the MOA medical mission by actively taking part in the mission proper.
