Richard turns over P1.2M to Kapuso Foundation

MANILA, Philippines - Richard Gutierrez recently turned over to the GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF) P1.2M generated from All-Star Kapuso Fun Run. The event was a brainchild of the network’s entertainment group and front lined by the actor as a fund-raising project last April.

The fun run raised proceeds to benefit GMAKF’s environmental projects that include construction of water distribution and sanitation facilities as well as tree planting in public schools nationwide. Richard gave the donations to GMA president and COO Gilberto Duavit Jr., SVP for corporate services group Felipe Yalong and Kapuso Foundation EVP and COO Mel Tiangco.

 The run with Richard convened almost 5,000 runners who joined the 3K, 5K and 10K races. Other Kapuso stars who participated in the run were Iza Calzado (who co-hosted the event), Akihiro Sato, Fabio Ide, Mikael Daez, Ervic Vijandre, Daniel Matsunaga, Elma Muros, Alden Richards, Ian Batherson, Bearwin Meily, Ehra Madrigal, Michelle Madrigal and Ynna Asistio. 

Also present in the awarding ceremony were VP for entertainment TV Marivin Arayata, program manager for ETV Cecille de Guzman and GMA Kapuso Foundation executive director Henri Perez.
