Actresses Ruffa Gutierrez and KC Concepcion, together with news anchor Karen Davila, donated groceries, fruits and vegetables to 250 families from incomeless communities in Parañaque, amid the COVID-19 crisis.
The donation drive spearheaded by Gutierrez’s friends, Garlic Garcia and Mikaela Martinez, distributed food in BF Homes through the initiative “#BFBayanihan.” Gutierrez posted a series of snapshots of the items to be distributed via her Twitter account yesterday, April 7.
The relief included canned goods, a bag of rice, salted crackers and vegetables, among other items. Gutierrez also greeted Concepcion, who celebrated her 35th birthday yesterday in quarantine.

Aside from participating in the #BFBayanihan initiative, the former beauty queen is also a part of the fundraiser managed by her brother Richard Gutierrez and his wife Sarah Lahbati. The recently wed actors began a crowdfunding effort for hospital frontliners, to provide them with food, medical necessities and other basic goods. JB
