Fil-Am hairstylist gives free haircuts to the homeless
Filipino-American hairstylist
Mark Bustos has been giving
back to the community by
giving free haircuts. A successful
hairstylist in America to the
rich and the famous, Mark has
always dedicated his time to
give free haircuts to homeless
like those living in poverty in the
Philippines.
“Back in 2012 was the
first time I did haircut for the
less fortunate,” he shared in an
interview with CNN Philippines.
He further relayed that his
trips to developing countries has
sparked the urge for him to give
back. “The first time I was exposed
to poverty in a developing country,
I always knew I wanted to give
back somehow.”
During his trip in the
Philippines, Mark gave free
haircuts to homeless children. “In
America, in New York City where
I’m from it’s very rare to see
children living out on the streets
so coming to countries like this it’s
sad to see that there are children
all over living out [in] the streets,”
he said.
According to Mark, haircuts
have always had a positive impact
on people. “Whether you’re
homeless or a billionaire, it’s just
that their shoulders rise up and
you could see a little bit change in
their smiles even they’re shy.”
Mark has been documenting
his journey on his Instagram
account as a hairstylist to the
homeless.
Haircuts, dinner, and ice cream all
shared with love- for the children living
in the cemetery. Yes, they live in the
cemetery, many without parents. Yes,
those concrete blocks are tombs. Yes,
this is a 2 minute walk from where my
family grew up. What was that you were
complaining about??? p.s. You can’t sit
with us! #BeAwesomeToSomebody

Matt Evans on The Greatest Love
Actor Matt Evans takes on
another gay role in the newest
Kapamilya late afternoon soap,
The Greatest Love. He plays
the character of Andrei Alegre,
son of matriarch Gloria Alegre,
as portrayed by Sylvia Sanchez,
who will suffer from memory
loss.
According to Matt, this role
is different from the other gay
roles he did in the past in the
projects like Must Date The
Playboy and Pare Mahal Mo
Raw Ako.
“Sobrang hirap at saka
at the same time, sobrang
challenging for me kasi sobrang
iba siya sa lahat ng mga ginawa
kong gay roles before. Kasi,
like before, ‘yung mga ginawa
ko for romantic comedy. So ito
talaga, heavy drama so talagang
kailangan
mag-immersion
kayo,” he said. Matt said he has
no problem being given gay
roles. He said, “Para sa akin,
sobrang challenge accepted
kasi sa akin, walang maliit o
malaking trabaho talaga. Kung
ano ‘yung ibigay, mas grabe
‘yung pag perform. Para sa akin,
lahat blessing.”
Aside from being an actor,
Matt is also a loving husband
and father. According to him,
management is key in order to
be able to juggle responsibilities
