The launch of "Tinig ng Mga Nawalan" is part of the new ABS-CBN campaign "Lingkod ng Isa't Isa," which celebrates the grit, tenacity, and resilience of every Filipino in transcending ordeals and painful losses, while still being able to help uplift other people's lives. It aims to highlight how Filipinos become each other's heroes in dark, challenging, and uncertain times.

Everyone is encouraged to share their inspiring story via social media, use the official hashtags #LingkodPinas and #LingkodNgIsatIsa.
