LAST
Friday, April 21, GMA Artist Center talent, Angel
Locsin celebrated one of her most memorable birthdays
ever. The young superstar took time out to visit
some 20 babies and 28 teens at C.R.I.B.S. in Marikina
to share her 21st birthday with them.
Being one of the busiest and most in-demand artists
in the entertainment industry, Angel surely did not
forget to give back to society with this gesture of
generosity. It was a pleasant surprise for the people
at C.R.I.B.S. to see Angel mingle with them and share
stories with them.
Angel caressed and carried every child with such happiness
that the entire foundation was filled with laughter
and positive energy. The highlight of her visit was
the feeding program and gift giving, which Angel planned
and arranged for lunch, two days before her actual
birthday.
Asked
why she spent her birthday with C.R.I.B.S., Angel
answers simply, “I wanted to help and give joy
to other people today. I just want to share my blessings.”
Angel’s
outreach efforts did not just end at C.R.I.B.S., later
that day, there was also a free eye consultation/check-up
event at Robinson’s Place Manila for Angel’s
beneficiary organization, The Call Foundation. Not
known to many, every Christmas, Angel donates, or
creates a charity event for The Call Foundation. The
young actress holds the foundation close to her heart
for a special reason. A few years ago, Angel had experienced
laser surgery for the eyes because her vision was
threatened by an eye defect.
Aside
from Angel, some of her friends from showbiz joined
her in celebrating. Making her birthday extra special,
Dennis Trillo, Mike Tan, Rea Nakpil and Johann Santos
of StarStruck, and StarStruck Kids Ella Guevarra,
JM Reyes, Sandy Talag, Madeleine Yu, and Renz Juan
joined Angel at C.R.I.B.S. Present at Robinson’s
for the mall show and eye check-up were Dion Ignacio,
Valerie Concepcion, Bugz Daigo, Jeric Rizalado, Vivo
Ouano, Vaness Del Moral, and the S.O.P. Boys. |
Helping
Angel spend her birthday in such a special way were
the Makati Eye Laser Center, Jag Jeans, Eskinol, Avon,
WL Products, Happee Toothpaste, Head & Shoulders,
Lotus Ballpens, Timex, Robitussin, Flywear, and Consolidated
Notebook.
Undoubtedly
beautiful inside and out, Angel shined more brightly
than she has ever shone onscreen among the sea of
people she made happy during her birthday. “I
have nothing else to wish for. I have been so blessed
in my life now, and I am so happy. Wala na talaga
akong hihilingin pa.” Angel ends with a smile. |
