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 Manila ???????? for a marvelous 5 days! Humility, kindness and respect was top of the line! I will be back.

"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
