BREAKING: Filipino Tennis Star Alex Eala Donates 3.9 Million Pesos to Surprise Homeless Seniors in Quezon City
QUEZON CITY, Philippines — In a heartwarming act of generosity, Filipino tennis sensation Alexandra “Alex” Eala has donated 3.9 million pesos to support homeless senior citizens in Quezon City. The 19-year-old sports icon made the surprise announcement earlier today, revealing that the donation would fund food, medical care, and temporary housing for hundreds of elderly residents living on the streets.
Working quietly with a local nonprofit, Eala ensured that the aid would be delivered personally to the seniors, many of whom were caught off guard by the gesture. Volunteers distributed care packages and warm meals while mobile health units offered checkups and basic medication. A portion of the donation is also being used to establish a temporary shelter with beds and clean facilities.
“This isn’t just about giving money—it’s about giving dignity,” Eala said in a statement. “These seniors are our lolos and lolas. They deserve to feel seen, valued, and cared for.”
Eala, who has risen to prominence in international tennis circuits, including the ITF and WTA tours, has consistently used her platform to advocate for youth and social welfare initiatives in the Philippines. This latest effort is one of her most personal and impactful yet.
The surprise act of compassion has inspired waves of praise across social media, with fans calling her a “champion on and off the court.” City officials have also commended her for using her success to uplift vulnerable communities.
As the nation continues to grapple with economic challenges, Eala’s donation serves as a powerful reminder of the role that public figures can play in driving social change—especially when it comes from the heart.
