GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF) welcomes Kapuso stars as advocates of public service to encourage more youth to take part In GMAKF's disaster, relief, education, and health programs.

GMAKF led by its founder and ambassador, Ms. Mel Tiangco, welcomes into the Kapuso Foundation fold the following Kapuso artists:

Rocco Nacino (Health)
Bea Binene (Disaster Relief)
Patricia Tumulak (Kapuso School Development)
Sofia Pablo and Will Ashley (Unang Hakbang Sa Kinabukasan — Education Support)

The Kapuso artists/advocates committed their time and effort for GMAKF's mission to uplift the lives of underprivileged Filipinos all over the country through the provision of quick-response disaster relief operations; the undertaking of health, nutritional and medical projects; and the carrying out of developmental programs designed to promote education.

Versatile and talented dramatic actor Rocco Nacino feels enthusiastic to promote GMAKF's health and nutrition projects such as Bisig Bayan and Give-A-Gift projects. Apart from his showbiz stint, Rocco is a registered nurse and has a master's degree in nursing, which explains his affinity for GMAKF's health projects.

He also recently enlisted as a reserve in the Philippine Navy and is part of the powerhouse cast of the Pinoy adaptation of hit Korean series Descendants of the Sun as well as the second season of GMA News TV's health talk show The Healthy Juan. Aside from these shows, he is also one of the lead stars of the romantic-comedy film Write About Love which is an official entry to the 45th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).

On the other hand. Beautiful Justice star and budding chef/entrepreneur Bea Binene commits to help spread awareness on the need to support GMAKF's Operation Bayanihan relief operations. Bea has noted that more natural calamities are happening in the country and more public donations are needed to sustain GMAKF's relief efforts when disasters strike to ensure that immediate aid can be given to the needy.

Kapuso host and actress Patricia Tumulak, who is a graduate of Early Childhood Education, understands the need for sturdy classrooms all over the Philippines. Patricia is keen on drumming up support for GMAKF's Kapuso School Development program which undertakes the building and rehabilitation of schools in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, as well as the Kapuso Tulay Para Sa Kaunlaran, wherein the Foundation spearheads the construction of concrete and steel bridges in remote areas of the country to connect communities to schools and markets, in a bid to encourage learning and trade.

Currently, Patricia is also part of the Afternoon Prime series Magkoagaw.

Lastly, Primo Donnas stars Sofia Pablo and Will Ashley are likewise thrilled about joining GMAKF's distribution of school supplies to tens of thousands of children in need all over the Philippines. A pillar project of GMAKF is the annual Unang Hakbang Sa Kinabukasan — which distributes sturdy school bags with complete sets of school supplies to kinder and grade 1 students nationwide.

Being students themselves, Sofia and Will have their sights set on standing up for the rights of all children to have access to quality education and empowering them to make their dreams come true.

The Kapuso stars were all very thankful and grateful for the chance to be part of Kapuso Foundation because they also want to be an advocate to encourage the youth to help and support those who are in need especially in times of calamities. They are continuously blessed with projects which is why in return, they would also love to share their time and efforts. For Bea Binene, she has been doing this since she was 6 years old and with the help of her Mom, she always have time for charity works just like Rocco Nacino who graduated with the course of Nursing and he also wants to educate people with health and other things that are related to his course. Since his mom is a cancer survivor, it was their yearly activity to help those in need particularly cancer patients. Lastly, beauty queen Patricia Tumulak has always been active in charity works, since she graduated with a degree in Education, she manages to teach kids in different locations.

GMA Artist Center would like to thank M&Ms, Doublemlnt, Goju, and Sapporo Noodles for making this event possible.

Kapuso Network 2014 Share the Love Campaign

GMA 7 Wednesday, December 17, 2014

This Christmas, GMA 7, Kapuso channel marks a whole new celebration of Christmas in a brighter way by their "Share the Love" Campaign.

GMA Kapuso Foundation continues its mission to help those in need through their "Share the Love" campaign. It's been over a year since Yolanda made a landfall in the Philippines and Tacloban is one of the most damaged city and many fatalities.

Even though this is the scenario, we, Filipinos are known to be survivors and people from Tacloban continue to find ways in making their lives more meaningful by rebuilding their lives through the help of people around them.

On the anniversary of Yolanda, GMA Kapuso Foundation officially turned over 120 permanent concrete houses of Phase II and III of its Kapuso Village in Tacloban City to selected families ravaged by the super typhoon.

According to Ms. Mel Tiangco, president and COO of GMA Kapuso Foundation, “The foundation is the first NGO to turn over permanent concrete housing to Yolanda survivors in Tacloban City.”

A total of 172 houses were turned over since July 2014. An additional 231 houses will be ready for occupancy in the coming months, fulfilling in part the Foundations’ 403-unit concrete housing project in the area.

“For the Yolanda survivors, a year definitely will not suffice to alleviate the pain from the loss of family members and ruined homes. However, our commitment in rebuilding lives through this long term project will help regain the hope of many displaced residents,”

She added.

Ms. Mel recounted that that her visit at Tacloban before when it was hit by Yolanda and after was her most memorable experience because she will never forget the aftermath of the storm to the area and to the people.

The beneficiaries were emotional during the turnover as they recalled the height of the storm and what they went through. Even so, they were grateful for the outpouring of assistance they received from GMA Kapuso Foundation and its partners.

Through the generosity of numerous citizens all over the world, the project was able to come to fruition. Furthermore, GMA Network and its roster of stars showed the true meaning of the Kapuso spirit by participating in GMAKF’s Yolanda rehabilitation efforts.

GMA unveiled the campaign with an event plug featuring Mel Tiangco joined by Kapuso stars as they shared an early Christmas with the residents of the Kapuso Village in Tacloban.

Since its launch, over 100 Kapuso celebrities and News and Public Affairs personalities have shared the love by sponsoring food, toys, medical treatments and medicines for the Kapuso Foundation’s beneficiaries in the country, including other Yolanda-affected areas.

In addition to the housing project in Tacloban, GMAKF also pledged the construction of 24 new classrooms under its Kapuso School Development project within the Kapuso Village. Meanwhile, another Kapuso Village will soon rise in Palo, which includes 169 concrete houses and 10 classrooms.

GMAKF has also turned over 15 classrooms in Barangay Sulangan, Guiuan, Eastern Samar. Moreover, construction and rehabilitation is underway for 40 classrooms in Quinapondan, Eastern Samar and in Villaba and Kananga in Leyte.
