Normal na ang hitsura ng labing-anim na bata na bingot o may clept lip at palate birth defects ang inoperahan sa tulong ng Project Ngiti Foundation ng singer-actor na si Ronnie Liang.
Natuloy ang operasyon sa mga bata, sa kabila ng mabigat na pagsubok na pinagdaanan ni Ronnie.
Ginawa ni Ronnie ang lahat ng kanyang makakaya para hindi magkaroon ng sagabal sa advocacy project niya.

Hindi lamang mga bata ang sumailalim sa operasyon dahil tagumpay rin ang libreng cataract surgery ng Project Ngiti para sa mas nakatatandang kababayan natin.
Lahad ni Ronnie: “Since the day we published that we offer free cataract surgery, hundreds of patients have registered already for the treatment and accommodated this December alone under Project Ngiti.
“And last week, 16 children with cleft lip and palate were successfully operated on under Project Ngiti.
"We usually operate on 10-15 cleft lip patients every 2-3 weeks, and we are happy to announce that we were able to operate on more or less 150 cleft lip and palate patients.”

MORE BENEFICIARIES IN PROJECT NGITI 2026
Tiniyak ni Ronnie na mas marami ang cataract at cleft lip and palate patients ang matutulungan sa 2026 ng Project Ngiti kaya nagpapasalamat siya sa mga sumusuporta sa kanya.
“For the entire 2025, and by the grace of God, we are looking forward to operating on more this 2026, both cataract and cleft lip palate patients," sabi ni Ronnie.
“I would like to thank our partners with this project; our surgeons Dr. Mercado and Dr. Neil, Smile Train Philippines, St. Vincent General Hospital, and San Fernandino Hospital Eye Center for making this project possible.
“To those downloading and streaming my songs online, and supporting my content online, we were able to raise funds for Project Ngiti to be able to send Ngiti and good vibes to our kababayans.
“Maraming salamat po, and for my projects both on GMA shows and out-of-town shows, a portion of my talent fees is being used for Project Ngiti.
“Sa mga organizers and producers, thank you sa pagtitiwala. I know I will not be in the entertainment industry forever, but at least while I am still here, I know I have done something productive and good for our kababayans and was able to use these God-given talents and influence to help those who are in need.”
Para sa mga nagnanais maoperahan nang libre sa cataract at cleft lip and palate, maaaring magpadala ng mensahe sa official Facebook page ng Ronnie Liang Project Ngiti Foundation.
