Kyline Alcantara helps motorcycle, tricycle, jeepney drivers amid fuel hikes
Kyline Alcantara is earning praise online after showing support for jeepney, tricycle, and motorcycle drivers amid rising fuel prices.
On Instagram, the Sparkle star shared photos and videos where she could be seen interacting with drivers lined up to refuel their vehicles.
Kyline was warmly greeted by motorists, many of whom thanked her during the encounter.
“Lumaki akong jeepney driver ang namulatan kong trabaho ni Papa Ben. Takbuhan siya ng mga nangangailangan sa barangay namin sa Bicol, kaya iniisip ko for the past few weeks, kung ano kaya ang mararamdaman niya kung makikita niya at mararanasan ang fuel crisis ngayon,” Kyline wrote in the caption.
She also acknowledged that while everyone is affected by the situation, the burden is not equal, pointing out that public utility drivers and transport workers are among the hardest hit.
“Kaya kung kaya natin na matulungan sila, sana magawa natin sa abot ng ating makakaya. Maliit na tulong man, pero kapalit nito ay ngiti na bubuo sa araw natin. Para ito sa kanila, para sa mga ka-tropa ni Papa Ben.”
Kyline ended her message by encouraging others to extend help in any small way they can.
“Kaya sa mga kaibigan ko, kasama sa trabaho, kababayan, ikaw—tulungan natin sila, kahit sa maliit na paraan na kaya natin. A little kindness goes a long way in a world that needs it most,” she said.
Therese Malvar commented, “Thank u for being such a blessing in times like these!”
“Love this!!!” Katrina Velarde said.
Earlier this week, Kyline already expressed her plans to help those who are affected by the fuel price hike.
“It’s like an homage to my lolo na jeepney driver before sa Bicol. So siyempre gusto kong pumunta lang sa isang fuel station,” she said.
Kyline is set to star in “Task Force, Firewall” alongside Kylie Padilla, Jak Roberto, and Miguel Tanfelix.
