Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera personally handed over to GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF) the proceeds from Celebrity Ukay-Ukay to help fund its projects for children.

Marian, who was one of the ambassadors for the 2018 GMA Celebrity Ukay-Ukay, sold her pre-loved items at her own booth at the Noel Bazaar last December.

“I want to give my earnings to Tita Mel (Tiangco) right after the bazaar closes. I want to personally give her the exact and full amount,” said Marian in Filipino.

She gratefully shared that her fans also took part in manning the booth.

“Those who went to the bazaar did not only shop for their gifts but were also able to help. The good thing about this is that all the proceeds are going to educational assistance of less fortunate children,” she added.

GMAKF founder and ambassador Mel Tiangco admired Marian’s generosity. “I was amazed that she would take the effort to do that for the foundation to come and join us in this journey, in this fight to alleviate poverty.”

Moreover, GMAKF executive vice president and chief operating officer Rikki Escudero-Catibog said Marian’s donation will be used to buy complete sets of school supplies and school bags for incoming Kinder and Grade 1 students in GMAKF’s Unang Hakbang Sa Kinabukasan project for 2019.
