Betong Sumaya gets emotional during live selling as Alden Richards makes more than P40K purchase

Betong Sumaya was moved to tears during a recent live selling session after a certain “RJ Richards” purchased over P40,000 of his merchandise.

On Saturday, the “Bubble Gang” star went live on social media to sell some pre-loved items, which included Coca-Cola and Marvel collectibles.

At one point during, Betong read a comment from a certain RJ Richards asking: “Magkano lahat ng ibebenta mo diyan, Bets?”

After a few moments, it occurred to Betong that the commenter might be his fellow-Kapuso actor and friend, Alden Richards, so he asked to make sure.

“RJ Richards? Ha! Alden, ikaw ba 'yan?” Betong said.

After confirming it was really him, Betong got emotional and ended up crying on live video.

“Ano ba 'yan, Alden, pinaiyak mo naman ako dito…” said the comedy actor, wiping away his tears.

“Sige, 'Den, iko-compute ko. Thank you…Kasi akala ko, noong una kasi, nanloloko lang hindi pa kasi kami magkaibigan sa Facebook,” he added.

And a few moments later, Betong was shocked to see that the “The World Between US” star had already wired him the money.

Later in an interview on “24 Oras: Weekend,” Betong said Alden actually wired him P50,000.

Betong also shared how touched he was, not by the amount of money, but by his good friend’s simple act of kindness and generosity.

“Doon mo mapapatunayan na ‘yung mga kaibigan mo talagan na totoong kaibigan mo na sumusuporta sa anumang gagawin mo, and si Alden isa talaga siya,” Betong said.

“From my concert, from my guesting, gano’n, andiyan talaga siya!” he added. — Margaret Claire Layug/RC/LA, GMA News
