Metro Society honors Angel Locsin as one of Metro Society Inspiring People alongside Mayor Isko Moreno and more!
You probably have heard or read about a number of recognitions Angel Locsin received for being a humanitarian and a philanthropist. She is in fact one of Forbes Asia’s Heroes of Philanthropist as announced on their official website and published on their December 2019 issue. And though she always downplays her relief efforts and generosity towards others, it is without a doubt that she is one of the most inspiring women in the country and a rightful person to be one of Metro Society Inspiring People.
Metro Society Inspiring People recognizes personalities who have been an inspiration to others through their extraordinary humanitarian efforts and public service which became more evident now that we are facing an unprecedented health crisis.
Angel Locsin who has been a constant humanitarian and philanthropist since way back belongs to the roster of these inspiring people. On her exclusive interview for Metro Society, the actress revealed that the realization that she has more than what she needs while others doesn’t made her go above and beyond her ways to help others.
“I remember kung kailan talaga ako naging active is nung Ondoy. Nakita ko may mga extra ako na gamit tapos marami sa mga kakilala ko ‘yung nawalan talaga, ‘yung walang walang wala, nalimas talaga ng baha ‘yung mga naipundar nila. Dun ako nagsimula na parang na-guilty ako, meron akong extra pero maraming walang wala kaya ginawa ko, dun na siguro nagsimula.”
Since then, the actress has been unstoppable in helping others. She never hesitated to fly to areas hit by calamities like that of the series of earthquakes in Mindanao, war on Marawi, and typhoon Tisoy in Samar among others.
As for her reasons why she’s doing all these, the actress simply said
“Narealize ko na wala naman kasing dahilan para hindi kumilos. Ito’y isang obligasyon natin bilang tao sa kapawa natin, pagaanin ang buhay ng isa’t-isa. Wala akong nakikitang ibang dahilan or kung kailangan ba ng dahilan para gumawa ng tama. Walang excuse.”
Angel Locsin is a real-life Angel indeed. From being a superhero onscreen, she now lives to be the real-life hero we all need and look up to.
