A godfather goes viral for sending Php1 million to godchild for Christmas – and everyone is wishing their godparents were as rich and generous!
But some people think it’s just scripted or something… What
you do think?
Godfather Goes Viral for Php1 Million Christmas Gift
In the Philippines, many parents really expect their
children’s godparents to send something for the kids during their birthdays or at
Christmas.
Of course, that’s not actually a requirement, especially since
godparents are supposed to be the children’s second parents. That means they
are supposed to be there as a guide for the godchildren, not gift-givers during
special occasions.
Still, many godparents do take time to prepare some gifts for their godchildren. The amount can vary, but is usually within a few hundred or thousand.
So, imagine one parent’s surprise when a friend sent Php1 million to his godchild.

Francis Barkley Bautista shared how his friend, comedian Wawe Agravante, messaged him to ask about his godchild, Kaui.
While they were exchanging greetings, Wawe asked for Francis’
bank account details because he wants to send a “little gift” for his godchild.
Francis obliged, sending his BPI account details, but was
soon surprised to learn that Wawe’s “little gift” was actually Php1 million in
cash – sent directly to the bank account he provided!
Shocked, he asked whether his friend was serious in sending
him such a huge amount of money.
Anyone in his shoes would probably have the same reaction.
After confirming with his friend that it was for real, Francis
posted about the incredible Christmas gift from this generous ninong before
jokingly wondering whether he should buy a house or a pickup truck with the
money.
In a separate post, Wawe joked that he made a mistake in sending
the money and asked Francis to send it back. LOL.
