During the Teletón 2026 campaign launch in Rancagua, President José Antonio Kast revealed he bought singer Emmanuel's gabardina, which former President Gabriel Boric had won at auction the previous year for $1 million. Kast joked about his discreet purchase and said he will donate it again at the next Teletón. He proposed circulating the garment among political figures.
At the Teletón 2025 closing in Estadio Nacional, the crowd chanted for singer María José Quintanilla to return to the Viña del Mar Festival, despite her absence from the 2026 lineup. The performer, who lit up the stage, moved the audience by recalling her 2004 debut at Viña at age 14. The charity event, aiming to exceed 40 billion pesos, featured tributes and standout performances.
