Ronnie Liang’s festive philanthropy
While promoting his Christmas song “Panalangin Kong Pasko,” Ronnie Liang consistently pursues his advocacy. He finds time for his annual gift-giving, donating groceries and cash to needy families.
“This is the season of giving. It doesn't matter kung gaano kalaki ‘yung ibibigay or ibinigay mo. Malaki man o maliit — you show up and make others feel the spirit of Christmas. Nagugulat na lang ‘yung mga lolo’t lola sa kalye kasi nag-aabot kami ng groceries and maliit na halaga,” Liang happily shared. “Kinakantahan ko rin sila.”
The crooner behind "Ngiti" also brings joy to children born with cleft lip and palate. Additional youngsters are slated for surgery as part of Project
Ngiti. Recently, he paid a visit to the parents of these children, serenading them with his heartfelt tunes.
"We receive numerous messages at the Project Ngiti Foundation. With the support of our partners, we can continue spreading smiles from this Christmas season until next year. Their smiles are touching and inspiring, and this mission will persist until 2024," Liang reported.
He added, “Ang na-realize ko talaga ay hindi tayo forever na artista pero how you made them feel — ‘yan ang forever. I’m very grateful sa showbiz projects dahil nakakapag-share ako.”
Liang turned reflective and said, "I've come to realize that our time as artists is not eternal, but the lasting impact of how you make others feel—that is true forever. I am profoundly grateful for my involvement in showbiz projects because they allow me to share and connect with others."
“I will soon be a commercial pilot. What I know for sure — matutuwa ang inner child ko. "That has always been my dream. I used to always tell my dad, 'Gusto ko maging piloto.' Mahalaga talaga ang consistency at hardwork sa buhay. Dream. Work. Fly. At kung sakaling mapagod ka, magpahinga ka, ngunit huwag kang susuko." he expressed, grateful of the opportunity he has been given to help and serve others.
Liang ended, feeling so much hope. He gamely shared, “Big concert sana next year. Naging special guest ko na si Sarah
G. Sana maulit ulit. Or a reunion with batchmates ko sa Pinoy Dream Academy.” (Manila Bulletin Entertainment)
