- Kapamilya actress Angel Locsin was recently recognized by Forbes Asia Magazine as one of the top 30 notable charity donors
- The General’s Daughter actress won “The Advocate” Award at the recently concluded RAWR Awards
Forbes Asia Magazine recently recognized Angel Locsin as one of the 30 notable charity donors.
In an interview, the The General’s Daughter star revealed that she was happy and at the same time sad with the recognition she has received.
“Nahihiya talaga akong pag-usapan ‘yung mga ganung bagay, katulad nga nang na-tweet ko. Of course, gusto ko i-acknowledge kasi it’s Forbes Asia ‘di ba? Nakapa-surreal nang pakiramdam talaga mapabilang ka katabi ng mga naglalakihang mga tao. Pero nakakalungkot kasi napabilang ka roon. Kasi naalala ko kung bakit ako andoon. ‘Yung may mga taong nag-suffer, may mga nasalanta, may mga namatay, may mga ganyan. Nakakalungkot,” she said.
Nonetheless, the 34-year old actress is delighted with this recognition and hopes it will inspire others to help as well.
“Naiisip ko na lang na, baka isa ‘tong paraan para makapag-inspire pa ng mga kabataan na tumulong rin. Wala kayong kailangan hintayin na oras. Kapag may nangangailangan, wala nang tanung-tanong, tulungan niyo,” the actress stated.
She said, “Sa totoo lang, kung makikita mo ‘yung kaligayahan nang natulungan mo, siguro, triple ‘yung kaligayahan na mararamdaman mo kapag ikaw ‘yung taong nakatulong. Mas better na ikaw na ang tumutulong, kaysa mapunta ka roon sa situation nila. Mas marami kang ipagpapasalamat talaga, iba ‘yung walang kapalit ‘di ba? ‘Yung tumulong ka nang walang kapalit.”
Aside from the Forbes recognition, Angel Locsin was announced as the new anti-piracy ambassador of Optical Media Board or OMB last December 20, 2019.
She also bagged “The Advocate” Award in the recently held RAWR Awards 2019. Locsin also won the aforementioned award in 2015 and 2018.
