In calamities and its after effects, celebrities extend their helping hand to victims.
The recent devastation caused by typhoon "Kristine" has gathered once more the generosity and commitment of movie, television and multimedia stars to help mitigate hunger, pain and uncertainty brought by the disaster.
One of the celebs who responded to the call of a dutiful citizenry is actor Donny Pangilinan.
Pangilinan personally delivered boxes of donated relief goods to the Angat Buhay office in Quezon City for the victims of Kristine.
In Angat Buhay’s official Facebook, photos of the actor carrying and handing over to the Findation the relief goods, which will be distributed to areas hardest hit by the typhoon, including Naga City and the Bicol Region.
“Heartfelt thanks to Donny Pangilinan for personally delivering relief goods at the Angat Buhay office,” Angat Buhay said in the post.
“Maraming salamat sa walang sawang pakikipagbayanihan (Many thanks for sharing your untiring good deeds), Donny,” it added.
Despite his busy schedule, Pangilinan is known for regularly supporting Angat Buhay’s relief efforts. He recently took part in relief operations for the victims of Typhoon Carina in July.
Former Vice President and Angat Buhay chairperson Leni Robredo recently appealed for pump boats and big trucks for relief and rescue operations in Naga City.
As of today, Kaya Natin!, a non-governmental organization, has received over P9.8 million worth of cash donations for Filipinos affected by Typhoon Kristine.
