Ronnie Liang, more Kapuso artists join GMA Kapuso Foundation's relief operations for those affected by heavy rains
Several Kapuso celebrities went out of their way to volunteer for GMA Kapuso Foundation's relief operations for the benefit of those who have been affected by the inclement weather.
Sparkle star and Philippine Army reservist Ronnie Liang joined the foundation's relief distribution in San Mateo, Rizal under its Operation Bayanihan project.
He was seen with Kapuso comedienne Marites "Tessbomb" Marañon in the mercy mission in San Mateo.
"Answering the Call of Duty, joining the relief operations for the victims of [Typhoon Crising] and [habagat] in San Mateo, Rizal. Organized by GMA Kapuso Foundation," Ronnie wrote on Instagram Tuesday.
In a video posted by GMA Kapuso Foundation on Wednesday, Ronnie was also seen in the foundation's relief distribution in Rodriguez, Rizal, with GMAKF EVP and COO Rikki Escudero-Catibog.
Kairo Lazarte and Johann Nepomuceno, members of Sparkle's P-pop group Cloud 7, were also present in the activity.
"We're very grateful po na kahit sa maliit na bagay nakakatulong po kami katulad po sa pamamahagi lang po, very thankful po kami na nabigyan po kami ng chance para po gawin ito at masaya po kami nakakatulong kami," Kairo shared.
Meanwhile, Sparkle star John Vic De Guzman shared photos of himself and actress Tart Carlos at GMA Kapuso Foundation's relief packing activity.
"We raise our hearts to YOU. With your mercy, we ask for your protection and miracle. Amen," John Vic wrote in the caption.
Recently, the GMA Kapuso Foundation also brought assistance to affected communities in Valenzuela City and Quezon City.
