Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas buys groceries, meals for homeless in Manila


Greek tennis sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas looked like he really enjoyed his time in the Philippines during his brief visit to play in the Davis Cup.

He ate taho when he arrived, posted photos of Manila by night, and found time to give back to the host country in his own way.

In his vlog, the world no. 6 bought groceries and meals for the homeless living in Manila's streets.

"Nobody talks about global hunger," he said in the video posted in his YouTube account.

Stefanos and his companion said that the 20 euros they spent to buy groceries will only afford them coffee and snacks in some European countries, noting the difference in the value of money.

The down-to-earth tennis player also left a message to the Filipinos on his social media accounts.

"Thank you for putting a smile on my face every single day. Thank you for spreading kindness and generosity. Thank you for embodying and applying this warmth into your daily lives," he said on Instagram.

"It’s truly remarkable and a great example for every nation out there to be like you. Thank you for showing me your love and making me feel awesome. I leave a gift behind, and that’s my heart. God bless the Philippines!" —MGP, GMA News
