ANGEL LOCSIN

Actress / Philanthropist

A hero on and off the screen, Filipina actress and philanthropist Angel Locsin has raised about 11-million pesos (as of writing) through her fundraising initiative #UniTENTweStandPH. Through this, she aims to provide tents to hospitals in cities facing overcrowding due to the continued rise of COVID-19 cases in the country. The tents will be used as sleeping quarters of frontliners such as health workers and law enforcement personnel. Locsin has been internationally recognised for her philanthropic works, landing her on Forbes’ Asia’s “Heroes of Philanthropy” list last year for charitable efforts such as the donation of one million pesos to the victims of Mindanao earthquakes, and her efforts for relief and rehabilitation concerning Ondoy and Yolanda typhoons and the Marawi siege.
