MANILA — Actress Angel Locsin responded on Wednesday to being listed by Forbes Asia as among the region’s “Heroes of Philanthropy” alongside billionaires, saying she hopes to inspire others to do similar acts of service for their countrymen.
“I’m nowhere near from being a billionaire, but I try my best to do my part in my own little way. I hope this would inspire other people to help as well,” she said. I never thought @ForbesAsia would ever mention my name, lol. Thank you! Filipinos have always been known for “bayanihan”. I’m nowhere near from being a billionaire, but I try my best to do my part in my own little way. I hope this would inspire other people to help as well. https://t.co/e6tnCcSc1kThe only other Filipino in the list is businessman Hans Sy of the SM Group, whose combined net worth with his siblings is at P878 billion.
Over the last 10 years, Locsin’s donations have amounted to some P15 million, benefitting programs related to education, indigenous people, and anti-violence against women and children, aside from her relief drives during calamities.
And dotardte did not do anything to help his co-mindanaoans.
