GMA Kapuso Foundation’s relief efforts and distribution of aid to victims of 'Carina' are underway as the Kapuso network's charitable arm teams up with Sparkle in the implementation of Operation Bayanihan.

On Thursday morning. “Unang Hirit” hosts Shaira Diaz and Suzie Entrata-Abrera helped distribute relief packs in Barangay San Juan in Taytay, Rizal where an estimated 1,000 residents from 250 total families share a roof under one evacuation center.

Rocco Nacino and Lexi Gonzales stationed at a Tandang Sora Warehouse earlier this morning and helped in repacking goods for distribution.

Sparkle stars Ysabel Ortega, Shuvee Etrata, Kim Perez, Elijah Alejo, Ashley Ortega, and Mariane Osabel are also at the venue and will be providing assistance this afternoon.

They will also be joined by Faith Sa Dilva, Jayson Gainza, and Olive May.

Angel Leighton, AZ Martinez, Kaloy Tingcungco, and Saviour Ramos, meanwile, volunteered to do repacking duties at the Unang Hirit studio. 

In the wake of the ravaging impacts of Carina and a typhoon-enhanced habagat, Sparkle has announced that proceeds and donations from the GMA Gala 2024 held last July 20 will be allocated for the foundation’s calamity response and mobilization of relief efforts.

Following a July 24 announcement that placed the National Capital Region (NCR) under a state of calamity, the GMA Kapuso Foundation immediately mobilized the implementation of its Operation Bayanihan on the same day– providing relief packs, hot meals, and snacks to almost 4,600 affected individuals. 

Those who wish to contribute to the cause may donate through the GMA Kapuso Foundation’s official bank accounts, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Shopee, Lazada, and Metrobank credit cards.
