Skye Chua, Cloud 7, more Kapuso personalities to feature preloved items at Noel Bazaar

Kapuso fans have more stars and more preloved items to watch out for at this year's Noel Bazaar, as Skye Chua and Cloud 7 join the growing list of Kapuso Ambassadors.

In Aubrey Carampel’s report on “24 Oras,” Wednesday, Skye and Cloud 7 expressed their excitement for the upcoming event.

“I’m always happy to help out, especially nung nalaman ko ‘yung backstory ng Noel Bazaar, partners pala sila ng Kapuso Foundation, so talagang may matutulungan tayo ‘pag pumunta tayo ng Noel Bazaar,” Skye said.

“We’re really, really excited po na makita ang lahat ng aming mga fans lahat ng shoppers sa mga venues and dates ng Noel Bazaar,” Cloud 7 said.

The roster of Kapuso Ambassadors supporting the longest-running bazaar in the metro has expanded significantly to include prominent personalities such as Carla Abellana, Jillian Ward, Rhian Ramos, Ashley Ortega, Tim Yap, AZ Martinez, and Iya Villania.

Their contributions join those from stars like Sofia Pablo and Allen Ansay, as well as items from favorite celebrities and GMA Integrated News anchors.

The annual benefit event, organized by GMA Kapuso Foundation and Cut Unlimited, Inc., is now in its 25th year.

The milestone coincides with GMA Network’s celebration of 75 years, proving that some partnerships “are really meant to last and become stronger through time,” according to GMA Network Vice President for Corporate Affairs and Communications Angel Javier-Cruz.

This year’s bazaar will feature over 500 participating merchants across different venues. 

“Hilig namin pong sabihin: Sa Noel Bazaaar, naka-shopping ka na, nakatulong ka pa. Dahil ‘yung pagkapupunta ka, bumisita sa event, nag-shopping sa ukay-ukay o sa ating mga local merchants, nakakatulong din po talaga ito sa mga projects of Kapuso Foundation, lalong-lalo na sa pagpapatayo ng schools at mga disaster relief programs din po,” Cut Unlimited Inc. Managing Director Justine Bautista-Reyes said.

“For the Okada run and for the World Trade Bazaar run, we have our very popular GMA Kapuso Foundation Celebrity Ukay-Ukay Booth. However, at the Filinvest Tent, ‘yung kick off at tsaka ‘yung finale mangyayari sa Filinvest Tent, we also have a special booth that offers direct donation to Unang Hakbang sa Kinabukasan,” GMA Kapuso Foundation Executive Vice President and COO Rikki Escudero-Catibog said.
