As part of their Pass-A-Book ni BiGuel advocacy project, Bianca Umali and Miguel Tanfelix visited Project 6 Elementary School today to celebrate the National Reading Month. 

They first read ‘Kapuso Mo, Atty. Felipe L. Gozon,’ the children’s book memoir of GMA Network’s Chairman and CEO, to the kids. They also facilitated a quick game, took selfies with the faculty and students, and received and distributed books.

The project holds a special place in Bianca’s heart because she’s an avid reader herself.

“Number one po sa priorities ko [‘tong Pass-A-Book] because I’m a reader. Reading is actually my life, so influencing kids na nakikita ko who enjoy and are happy na makita kami and marami silang natututunan sa ‘min, masarap sa puso,” she said.

Miguel also highlighted the importance of reading among his peers and the younger generation.

“Very important [‘to] dahil ‘yung panahon natin ngayon, ‘yung mga teenagers, mga bata, ang focus nila nasa mga gadget so Bianca and I, gusto namin i-promote yung value of reading dahil iba ‘yung [knowledge] na makukuha mo kapag nagbabasa ka ng libro,” he shared.

Reading is one of the activities that bring the two stars together. Miguel, in fact, got into it because of Bianca. The latter shared this piece of information in a casual conversation with the kids.

“Kaming dalawa ni Kuya Miguel, mahilig kami magbasa. Actually dati, si Kuya Miguel, hindi talaga siya nagbabasa. Hindi niya hilig. Pero naimpluwensyahan ko siya. So ngayon, alam namin na puwede kami maka-impluwensya ng kabataan tulad niyo. Gusto namin i-share ‘yung pagmamahal namin para sa pagbabasa,” Bianca added.

Principal Virginia Macapagal thanked GMA Network and BiGuel for helping her imbibe in the kids the value of learning through books.

“Bilang isang punong guro na naglalayong mapabuti ang antas ng kaalaman ng mag-aaral, ako ay natutuwa na kayo ay aming katuwang sa adbokasiyang ito, dahil ang karunungan sa pagbabasa ay isang hakbang upang lalong mapalawak ang imahinasyon ng bawat mag-aaral patungo sa katuparan ng kanilang pangarap,” she declared.
