IN PHOTOS: Angel Locsin as real-life Darna through the years!
Real-life Darna as what most people call her, Angel Locsin has done so much for the people that she’s become one of Forbes Asia’s 30 Heroes of Philanthropy.
For the past decade, the actress has reportedly donated over 15M pesos in various causes. She always make headlines because of her relief efforts done in big scale. She uses her hard-earned money to buy goods, oversee the packing and make sure that it will reach those in need by personally distributing them.
When the country was hit by typhoon Ondoy in 2009, the actress spearheaded a fund rasing campaign called Shop and Share with some friends in the biz like Anne Curtis and Dimples Romana. Proceeds went straight to Philippine Red Cross and was used to help victims of the typhoon.
Another selfless act that’s very notable was way back 2014 when Angel Locsin auctioned her vintage car Chevrolet chevelle and donated the proceeds to Sagip Kapamilya that was used to build classrooms in badly affected areas of typhoon Yolanda.
In the recent years, we are touched by her benevolence when she visited war-stricken Marawi to check on our Muslim brothers and sisters who were displaced.
She is also one of the first ones to visit the quake-hit areas in Mindanao and since the onset of the pandemic, we have seen her utilize her resources to raise funds that can aide our health workers combat the virus like #UniTENTweStandPH and the relaunchig of Shop and Share.
Apart from all these, Angel Locsin is a consistent blood donor and also supports education by providing scholarships to the youths of today. She actively participates on Philippine Red Cross’ relief operations and volunteers her time and effort in packing relief goods for the victims of a natural calamity.
As we all know, Angel Locsin would rather not draw attention for herself but it is indeed impossible to be in disguised for someone as popular as Angel Locsin doing relief efforts as big as what we have mentioned. Though widely recognized, there are people who paint her intentions in the bad light but what stand-out about Angel is, no matter what the people say, and no matter how hard naysayers try to pull her down, she never stopped helping others the best way she can, something we all should emulate!
