Do you remember the foreigner vlogger who surpised the garbage collectors with a "garbage bag" that was filled with grocery goods and a sack of rice instead? The Hungry Syrian Wanderer, Basel Manadil who initiated the help and posted it on his social media account inspired thousands of Filipinos who are now losing a lot of faith on the kindness, compassion and humanity.
It was also revealed that it was not Basel's first time on reaching out to the less fortunate filipinos even before the COVID-19 outbreak. The vlogger's passion on entertaining people and helping them as well was the reason why many Filipinos love Basel.
On of them was the Megastar Sharon Cuneta herself, who even treats Basel as her son, and even calls him as her "newly adopted son."
To show gratitude on the foreigner's kindness towards the people of his different race, Sharon posted a message for her "ampon" through her Instagram account.
“I’ve made friends with a few other YouTubers. Some are here, some non-Pinoy. You must visit and watch the vlogs of my new ‘adopted son,’ Basel of @thehungrysyrianwanderer." The megastar wrote.
"He is from Syria and has lived in Manila for around 7 years now. You will be touched by his heart to help his ‘kababayans’ in his adopted country.
“Mapapahiya ka kung Pilipino ka at wala ka man lang natutulungan kahit isang tao. Siya pang foreigner ang tulong nang tulong. We have been in touch for about a month now. He has an Instagram account too but please watch his YouTube vlogs,” the actress added.
Sharon then continued, “Good job, son! God will bless you more and more. You have a beautiful heart. Thank you for loving all of us Filipinos! Lots of love, Inay.”
The vlogger was beyond words because of Sharon's appreciation post for hin and left her post a reply right away.
"Thank you, Inay. I will join your vlog soon hehe.”
