MANILA, Philippines - Since Kapuso Bea Binene couldn’t scrap her long-planned birthday bash, she decided to turn it into a celebration ‘with a purpose’ by holding a garage sale, proceeds from which will be donated to the GMA Kapuso Foundation’s relief project for the victims of Typhoon Yolanda.
Bea, who turned 16 on Nov. 4, received a check for P200,000 from one of her sponsors, Dan Yniquez of Tony & Jackey Philippines (far right, top). Her friends were around to support her, including (ex-boyfriend?) Jake Vargas (right) and good friends Yassi Pressman, Krystal Reyes, Barbie Forteza and Joyce Ching (far right, below).
