We got to a small shelter in Quezon City called Child Haus, a haven for cancer patients from far flung areas in the Philippines. Aside from the visit, we're also celebrating the birthdays of Kapuso stars Vince Velasco, Sancho Delas Alas, Diva Montelaba, Stephanie Sol, Miggy Jimenez, Ervic Vijandre and Vince Gammad. Some of them, it's actually their first time to have an event with GMA Artist Center. They probably arranged this to get in touch with reality, to get on the more humane side of themselves, and also to at least make the children in this home a bit happy. That even in their condition, they would feel special, feel loved even just for a short while. It would also give them hope, to still dream, to become just like these stars... successful, blessed and infinitely happy.
The birthday celebrants were very happy. They played games, gave them great gifts and shared cakes in the program. The kids were all to happy too and accepted all the toys and goodies that were prepared for them. Later on, Vince Velasco, Sancho Delas Alas, Diva Montelaba, Stephanie Sol, Miggy Jimenez, Ervic Vijandre and Vince Gammad went in front and performed their songs, dances and gave their short messages to the kids. But when they almost were at the end of the program, they weren't prepared for what happened next. The kids lined up and went in front of the stars, then they started singing songs too, including one that thanked them for their efforts for celebrating their birthdays in the shelter. The kids then took out small trinkets and hand made birthday cards for the Kapuso stars... that's where they all started crying.
Vince Velasco and Sancho Delas Alas couldn't wipe away the smiles on their faces because they got to enjoy time with the kids, with Sancho even performing a magic trick for them during that afternoon. They gave their messages to the kids and told them to never lose hope because there are a lot of people praying for them, so they could get well and live their lives as normal as it could. Vince Velasco just did a Maynila episode called "Proxy Love" opposite Glaiza De Castro, he did pretty good in that stint. Sancho on the other hand is very new in GMA, he's set to have a lot of shows and workshops under GMA Artist Center. He also hasn't recovered much yet because his long time crush Marian Rivera just surprised him on his birthday, but still he's thankful to GMAC for letting him experience the charity event and promises he'll have more of it soon.
