'Grateful Tuesdays' spreads cheer among jeepney drivers


Chemist Pinky Tobiano continues to become a blessing to all the recipients of the "Care and Share" program of "Grateful Tuesdays." With over 500 families reached, Tobiano and her friends from the private sector widened its reach and added more sponsors to help in this activity.

A special treat for jeepney drivers of Barangay Masambong was celebrated during the barangay visit. They received food packs and gift packs spearheaded by Tobiano. She was assisted by Charming Lakwatsadora Charm Aranton.

A star-studded episode took place last October 20. Besides Tobiano’s co-host Yeng Constantino, viewers were serenaded by the King of RnB Jay R who was also interviewed after the performance. Moira dela Torre, most streamed Filipina artist and the first 11x Platinum Awardee dropped by the set to greet all the viewers of "Grateful Tuesdays."

Rep. Alfred Vargas also visited the show and was asked about his projects in his district. On the other hand, siblings, Congresswoman Bernadette Herrera-Dy and Councilor Bernard Herrera sat down with Tobiano where they shared their experiences during this pandemic.

The show highlighted the announcement of the laptop winner. For the 5th episode, the heroic and inspiring story of a teacher from Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro emerged as the winner. She shared during the interview the struggle of walking for three hours on a rocky road just to reach the school. Her students were mainly Mangyan natives. She said she will be sharing the laptop she won to all the students in Pambuhan Village High School.
