Dingdong Dantes, Sparkle stars join GMA Kapuso Foundation's relief efforts for those affected by rains
According to "24 Oras" Thursday, the Kapuso Primetime King donated germicidal soap for those who were impacted by the floods caused by the heavy rains.
"Alam niyo sa mga panahon kagaya ngayon tuwing may sakuna bawat tulong kasi is napakahalag. Napakalayo ng nararating ng bawat kontribusyon ng lahat ng mga kababayan natin through bayanihan," said Dingdong.
Sparkle stars Sofia Pablo, Allen Ansay, Aya Domingo, Jess Martinez, Mad Ramos, and Arnold Reyes likewise volunteered for the foundation's relief operations.
"Naisip ko na kung ako na-stranded mas marami pang mas grabe 'yung sinapit kesa sa amin, so thankful ako sa opportunity na to," said Arnold.
Jess, for her part, shared that it's fulfilling to be able to volunteer because even small acts "can make a huge difference."
Per Allen, they really wanted to volunteer because a lot of people have been affected by the calamity.
Sofia also said, "Andaming tao ulit na nawalan ng bahay, na-stranded ulit, syempre wala rin silang food so andito kami para tumulong."
Previously, Sparkle star and Army reservist Ronnie Liang, comedian Marites "Tessbomb" Maranon, and Cloud 7's Kairo Lazarte and Johann Nepomuceno joined GMA Kapuso Foundation's relief distribution in Rizal, while John Vic De Guzman and Tart Carlos helped with the foundation's relief packing activity.
The GMA Kapuso Foundation has been delivering aid non-stop to those who have been affected by the heavy rains through its Operation Bayanihan project, including families in Valenzuela City, Quezon City, Bulacan, Rizal, Pampanga, and Zambales.
For those who wish to support GMA Kapuso Foundation's projects, donations may be made via Metrobank, Land Bank, BDO, Bank of Commerce, UnionBank, PNB, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Lazada, and Shopee. Visit the GMA Kapuso Foundation website for more information.
Classes at all levels and government work in Metro Manila and 34 provinces were suspended on Thursday due to the expected heavy rains from Typhoon Emong and the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat).
As Emong maintained its strength, PAGASA on Thursday hoisted Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 4 over three areas in Luzon: the southwestern portion of Ilocos Sur (Santa Lucia, Santa Cruz, Tagudin)
the northwestern portion of La Union (Bangar, Luna, Balaoan, Bacnotan, San Juan, City of San Fernando, Bauang) the extreme northwestern portion of Pangasinan (Agno, Bani, Bolinao, Anda, City of Alaminos).
