Kathryn Bernardo, a star known not only for her acting skills but also for her generous spirit, has recently been praised for her heartwarming act of kindness. The beloved actress took on the financial responsibility for the education of a former “Goin’ Bulilit” batchmate who faced challenging times following the death of their father. This touching revelation was shared by “Goin’ Bulilit” director Edgar Mortiz during Kathryn’s contract renewal with ABS-CBN’s Star Magic on February 2.
In a video message, Mortiz expressed his admiration for Bernardo, highlighting her humility and willingness to help those she has worked with in the past. The identity of the beneficiary has not been disclosed, as they have since stepped away from the limelight.
Bernardo, when approached about this gesture, shared that the father of the “Goin’ Bulilit” alum had been a close friend of her and her mother, Min. Following his passing, they learned that the child had paused their acting career. Moved by their situation, Kathryn felt compelled to assist, honoring a promise made to the father to support his dream of seeing his child graduate from college. She emphasized the intelligence and diligence of her batchmate, underscoring her desire to help fulfill their father’s wish.
This act of kindness is a testament to Bernardo’s character, revealing her deep sense of loyalty and compassion towards those she has journeyed with in her career. It also serves as an inspiring reminder of the impact of generosity, particularly in supporting the educational aspirations of the youth.
