GMA Artist Center’s August celebrants Derrick Monasterio, Max Collins, and Sanya Lopez took time off their schedules to spend their birthdays with chosen charities.
For his 21st birthday, Derrick visited the patients in the Ambulatory Pediatric Oncology Unit of the Lung Center of the Philippines and shared an intimate get together with them. The kids were happy to welcome the Kapuso heartthrob.
“Every year I look forward to this because I get the chance to meet real inspirational people. Makikita mong very strong sila and I get inspiration from that,” said the Kapuso star.
For Max, her 24th birthday became extra special when she went on a spa party with her fans. The lucky fans got the opportunity to be up close and personal with Max.
“This has been a unique experience for me because I got to bond with the people who were there for me since day one. It felt like we were really in one big barkada and I enjoyed spending the day with them,” shared the Kapuso actress.
After landing the prestigious role of Sang’gre Danaya in “Encantadia”, Sanya could not pass up the opportunity to give back on her 20th birthday. She spent a day with the abused women of The Haven: National Center for Women in Muntinlupa.
