As Typhoon Carina swept through the Philippines in July 2024, leaving a trail of devastation, several Filipino celebrities stepped up to provide much-needed relief and support to affected communities. Their efforts have not only brought immediate aid but also inspired many to contribute to the recovery process.

Kapamilya actor Gerald Anderson was among the first to respond to the crisis. Known for his roles in action-packed dramas, Anderson took on a real-life heroic role by helping rescue a family stranded in their home in Quezon City. Videos of Anderson wading through floodwaters to transfer a child to safety quickly went viral, showcasing his bravery and dedication. His actions reminded many of his similar efforts during Typhoon Ondoy in 2009, proving his consistent commitment to helping those in need.

He also leveraged his influence to gather donations from commercial brands he endorses, assembling relief packs for distribution. Pangilinan’s involvement highlighted the importance of community support and the power of collective action.

Celebrity couple Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes were also at the forefront of the relief efforts. The couple, along with their two children, repacked and distributed over 700 relief packs to flood victims.

They collaborated with the GMA Kapuso Foundation and the Philippine Navy Civil Military Operations Group to ensure the efficient distribution of aid. Rivera and Dantes’ hands-on approach and dedication to helping others have set a powerful example of family and community solidarity.

Their campaign successfully collected essential items, including food, clothing, and hygiene products, which were then distributed to affected families. Mercado and Trillo’s initiative demonstrated the impact of using one’s platform for social good.
