CHiNOY TV and Cosmopolitan Memorial Chapels Launch #LEGACHi Initiative
On July, 29, 2025, CHiNOY TV proudly partners with Your Legacy List by Cosmopolitan Memorial Chapels to launch a meaningful new storytelling initiative: #LEGACHi, which is a commemorative series that pays tribute to the lives and legacies of departed Chinoy individuals, mentors, loved ones, community figures, and even beloved pets.
Created as a heartfelt extension of CHiNOY TV’s signature profile-centric features, the new segment #LEGACHi seeks to preserve and honor the stories of those who came before us, reminding us that legacy lives on through memory, love, and the impact left behind. More than a tribute to the departed, it also serves to inspire the living: to tell their stories, celebrate life, and reflect on the kind of legacy they hope to leave behind.
#LEGACHi offers families, friends, and the wider community a heartfelt platform to share personal stories, photo essays, and video tributes. These stories aim to preserve the values, wisdom, and memories of those who came before us and continue to influence our lives today.
“Our partnership with CHiNOY TV is more or less trying to reach out to the Chinese community,” said Renato Santos Dychangco Jr., a Cebu-based Chinoy and Chairman of the Board of Cosmopolitan Memorial Chapels. “Legacy is to make sure that at least we have something prepared for our family in the future. All of us would like to have a legacy in our lives. So, this is going to be an opportunity for the younger generation to also think about the future.”

Established in 1950, Cosmopolitan Memorial Chapels has grown into one of the most trusted names in memorial services in the Philippines. With more than 22 branches nationwide, including Baguio, Iloilo, Davao, and many more, the company continues to provide compassionate and dignified services to Filipino families, reinforcing its credibility and long-standing legacy in the industry.
Launching this Ghost Month, a period traditionally devoted to remembering ancestors, #LEGACHi encourages a more personal, creative, and uplifting way to honor the past. By sharing stories through social media and digital platforms, the campaign turns remembrance into celebration.
“It’s about time that we shift the narrative to focusing on life instead of death,” said Christelle Dychangco, Marketing Director of Cosmopolitan Memorial Chapels and Cosmopolitan Climbs Life Plan Inc. “This is really about cherishing stories and memories while we’re still alive and while we’re still here to build a legacy together.”

Christelle also emphasized the power of storytelling in the digital age. “The media is the best platform, especially now with social media. It’s such a good platform to tell stories and to share and celebrate life. Instead of worrying about the future, it’s about building a life while we’re present.”
Manny de la Peña, President and CEO of Cosmopolitan Climbs Life Plan Inc., added, “We also need to celebrate legacy in your own life. In preparing something that is inevitable, we can make it beautiful, dignified, and memorable for all families.”

#LEGACHi is an invitation to reflect on what truly matters — the love we share, the values we pass on, and the impact we make in the lives of others. No matter who we are or where we come from, we all strive to leave something meaningful behind.
