The two announced that they are selling underwear previously worn during a recent Bench video project, with all proceeds intended for relatives who suffered losses following the disaster.
Marcelino, first runner-up in Mister Cosmopolitan 2025, shared the appeal through a Facebook post after finally receiving updates from his family in General Santos City. According to him, communication had been difficult because the affected area experienced power outages following the earthquake.
In his post, Marcelino revealed that the situation of his relatives remains challenging after their home sustained damage during the strong tremor that hit on June 8, 2026.
