Mario Sends his Heart to Philippine Flood Victims

[Philippines] Only last week, a strong tropical storm hit our country, leaving the capital and northern regions heavily devastated.

A storm surge had swept through Roxas Blvd. a major through-way in Manila, submerging hotels, cars and offices. In the northern provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga, people are still wading in flood waters as we speak, conditions worsening as their toilets are submerged and with dwindling food supply and potable water.








And so it happened. I was updating our fan-page Marioholics and was just posting some of Gubgib's photos from Instagram when I suddenly noticed Mario's shirt. I WAS LIKE.. HEY! IS THAT PHILIPPINES written on his shirt?

And indeed it was. I posted it to people and pages all around in twitter, his publicist, Facebook and by noon the picture was everywhere.

So it happens, it was a Filipino fan who gave the shirt to Mario last July. He saw the retweet of Publicity Asia of the Instagram photo we uploaded.

He tweeted Mario. And when Mario checked his twitter later today, he sent a response picture which was all we could ask for!





What a SWEET boy he is! Here's more of it:
