Megastar Sharon Cuneta Seeks Young Vegetable Vendor, Offers to Send Him to School

Unsurprisingly, Megastar Sharon Cuneta is once again heaping praise from netizens.

Only this time, it’s not about a gut-wrenching breakthrough performance. Instead, with a single social media post, the 53-year-old icon warmed the hearts of fans and critics alike.

See, it is one thing to be a great showbiz star. It is another thing to be a good and compassionate human being. Sharon Cuneta proves—it’s not too hard to be both.

With a simple act of kindness, the legendary singer, actress, and TV host positioned to change a life.

Ate Shawie took to Instagram to look for a boy selling vegetables. Most softhearted philanthropists would think it enough to buy all the boy’s products. Sharon Cuneta did just that, and a little more.

Mega wanted to make sure her actions’ impact would last longer than a few days. That is why she offered something that no one could ever take away from the boy-- the gift of education.

She posted a photo of the adorable, hardworking boy and said, “TF, nasaan ang batang ito?!! Gusto ko bilhin lahat ng tinda niya araw-araw tapos iba magtitinda dahil mag-aaral na siya!!! Waahhh!!!”

Social media worked its magic. Lo and behold, the post went viral. It gained traction as netizens expressed their admiration for the star. As of press time, there are no updates yet if she had found the boy. Some people floated the idea that the boy might not even be a Filipino. Still, it was clear that a lot of netizens are also waiting for the next chapter to unfold.

This is how one leaves a legacy—so much more than songs, films, and TV shows. Her huge heart will surely be remembered more than her epic lines in admittedly awesome 90s movies.

Kudos to you, the one and only Sharon Cuneta! May God bless you more knowing that you will always find a way to pay it forward!
