Kapuso stars true to the value of giving
GMA Artist Center extends its support to its talents’ advocacies, and the Kapuso March birthday celebrants had a fruitful celebration by sharing their blessings with the people who matter.
Wish I May star Bianca Umali opted to celebrate her 16th year with some of her fans last March 2 at One Events Place in Ortigas. She set up a humble get-together with the Payatas Choir Kids while her onscreen partner Miguel Tanfelix surprised her with a bouquet of flowers.
For GMA Network Excellence Award lead advocate Benjamin Alves, there is no better way to celebrate his birthday than to share his passion for literature and arts. He encouraged the students of Asia Pacific College last March 18 to share their written thoughts. They eventually took turns in overwhelming the room with gripping slam poetry performance.
StarStruck titleholders Klea Pineda and Aljur Abrenica have another thing in common: A big heart for kids. Klea spent her birthday with the beneficiaries of Meritxell Foundation in Marikina. Aljur, on the other hand, tied up with World Vision Foundation to share a meal and read stories with the children of Baseco Compound in Manila.
Meanwhile, Dion Ignacio went to the Camillus Medhaven last March 28 to put a smile on the community members’ faces. After being warmly welcomed, he returned the favor by spending time talking to the elderly and listening to their stories.
The DSWD Sanctuary Center for Women had Rocco Nacino last March 31. The event was not only to celebrate Rocco’s birthday, but also to cherish a significant improvement in the cases of the mentally-challenged women in the facility. They all sang together, shared a meal with one another and expressed their gratitude for another chance in life.
