Angel Locsin receives Spirit of Philanthropy Award from Phil. Red Cross!

Angel Locsin took to Instagram on Sunday, January 17th, her sincerest gratitude to Philippine Red Cross for giving her yet another recognition, a Spirit of Philanthropy Award, for showing a commitment to charitable responsibility and a generosity to inspire others to philanthropic action. “Thank you @philredcross 🙏🏻,” the actress simply said.

Since Typhoon Ondoy in 2009, Locsin has been a familiar face during PRC relief packing activities and rescue operations. No doubt why the Philippine Red Cross chose her as its Ambassador and bestowed her the honor to represent the organization for their efforts to promote, raise funds and help the PRC with their activities/projects like advocating for voluntary blood donation.

Despite her busy schedule and showbiz commitments, she finds time to complete 8 hours of sleep so she can qualify to donate blood - that's already a feat for someone as sought-after as her.

She may be popular but she never entertains special treatment and would insist on sitting on cold floors or anywhere other volunteers would sit while packing relief items, carry heavy boxes of goods and assist those who are finding the load too heavy to lift.

What’s more admirable is how she can still wear a charismatic smile after all the lifting and all the sweating that comforts and inspires.

Ever since, selflessness and unreluctance to help have become her way of life, sometimes putting her safety and life at risk to help save lives. She became increasingly active and more involved in philanthropic and social causes in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic which earned her the admiration of many and recognitions both locally and internationally.

Truly an angel not just by name but in selfless deeds. You deserve all these awards and more! Thank you, Angel!
