WATCH: Gary V surprises people with random act of kindness

Just this December, Kapamilya singer Gary Valenciano has touched the lives of several Filipinos by surprising them with his simple acts of kindness.

Valenciano’s random act of kindness, or “raket” for short, is actually a call to action for everyone to spread empathy and compassion to random people.

“I really believe that a single act of random kindness can make all the difference in person’s life.”

Raket 1: A security guard

On his YouTube account, three webisodes featuring three different individuals show how the simplest gesture can brighten up a person’s day.

The first webisode features Al, a security guard in the same building where the singer’s company holds office.

The singer surprised Al at his work one afternoon and had a short talk about the latter’s work when the actor suddenly handed him an afternoon snack.

Surprised, Al thanked Valenciano and said, “Sakto hindi pa ako nag-memerienda.”

Raket 2: Mang Esteban, sidewalk vendor

Meanwhile, the second one is about Mang Esteban, a Cebuano sidewalk vendor. He was on the street when the singer approached him and introduced himself. Mang Esteban apparently did not know who the actor was. Still, Valenciano gave the vendor a snack who only had one meal during the whole day.

The third video features Mel, a car service driver. He was driving the vehicle when Valenciano, who was sitting at the passenger seat, surprised him with a signed copy of his album. Mel was all smile and even got teary-eyed upon receiving it.

Valenciano, an inspiration to many people, emphasized that helping people does not require grand gestures; in fact, the simplest act of kindness has proven to be the most touching and fulfilling.
