Angel Locsin Donates Blood To Philippine Red Cross Amid Coronavirus Pandemic, Celebrities React
ANGEL LOCSIN – Actress Angel Locsin recently shared a photo of herself donating blood to Philippine Red Cross and it received reactions from her fellow celebrities.
Actress and philanthropist Angel Locsin is one of the most admirable personalities in the country. She is known for lending hand to Filipinos who are devastated by any calamities.
The prominent actress started to become active in Philippine Red Cross’ (PRC) humanitarian efforts during Typhoon Ondoy (2009). Last year, Forbes Asia included her as one of the most philanthropic people in the region.
Amid the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) Angel Locsin stepped up in helping the frontliners. She launched a crowdfunding campaign to address the overcrowding issues in hospitals.
In a previous article, the 34-year-old celebrity announced that they have raised P10 million to provide more tents in hospitals. The tents are a big help for the frontliners and COVID-19 patients.
Following the success of her campaign, Angel Locsin and her fiance Neil Arce decided to donate blood to the PRC amid the coronavirus pandemic. The soon-to-be-married couple did this after learning that several donors decided to postpone their scheduled blood donation due to the pandemic.
“With COVID-19, many of the donors postponed their scheduled blood donations. But the need for blood never rests and the supply is rapidly dropping,” Angel wrote.
Angel Locsin also encourages her fans and followers to donate blood because the non-profit organization is tunning out of supply.
“The Philippine Red Cross are in need of more blood donors. You may contact PRC at (+632) 8790-2300 or thru hotline 143. Donate blood. Save lives,” she said.
Meanwhile, her celebrity friends Neri Miranda and Angelica Panganiban reacted to her post. The two were all praises for her efforts amid the crisis.
Panganiban said: “Wala kang pagod no? Nakaka-inspire.”
Miranda, on the other hand, wrote: “Nakakaproud kayo.”
