On the latest interview of PEP.ph with Kapamilya star Piolo Pascual, the 40-year old actor shared how he and his friend Direk Joyce Bernal decided to help Marawi trough donating cash for their city’s rehabilitation.
“Nagsimula kasi ‘yan kay Joyce, sinabi niya na sinabi nga ni Kuya Binoe na, yun nga, ito ang nangyari sa Marawi,” he started.
“Sabi niya, ‘Pagkakuha ko ng tseke ko sa Kita Kita, our pay, ibigay ko na.’ Sabi ko, ‘Sige, ako na rin.’ Kasi siyempre, gusto nating makatulong.
“So, from there, he shared with us the present plight of Marawi people, the bakwits, the evacuees, everyone was displaced, and it really broke my heart,” he added.
Piolo shared that the next episode of “ASAP” will pay tribute to the Marawi fighters. He also emphasized that he wants to use popularity for good cause.
“Heto nga, kagagaling ko lang sa ASAP meeting for next week’s episode. You know, at the end of the day, we have to use our celebrities for a good cause,” he said.
“It’s not all the time that it’s about us… you can probably use your influence to also encourage other people to help. Like, ako, growing up, gusto kong tumulong. I just didn’t know where, how to help. Parang, if you put it out there, encourage people to help and you give them platforms where to help,” he added.
“What we can do is give them entertainment, because that’s where we are good, yun ang trabaho natin. Yun naman ang trabaho natin, para mapasaya sila ulit at bigyan sila ng inspirasyon and encouragement,” he ended.
