Actress Angel Locsin has once again earned praise from netizens after quietly extending assistance to communities affected by the recent magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck parts of Mindanao.
The revelation came from fellow Kapamilya star Melai Cantiveros, who shared that Locsin was among the celebrities who sent aid to General Santos City and other affected areas following the devastating earthquake.
On June 8, several parts of Mindanao were shaken by a powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake, causing significant damage in various communities, including General Santos City, Melai’s hometown.
In a social media post, Melai said she immediately traveled to General Santos City to check on her family and personally assess the situation while participating in relief efforts for affected residents.
The actress-host also acknowledged the support extended by several celebrities and friends, including Kim Chiu, Robi Domingo, and Bianca Gonzalez, as well as members of her own team.
However, Melai admitted she was particularly surprised when she learned that Locsin had also decided to send assistance.
According to Melai, her manager informed her that the actress wanted to help those affected by the disaster.
“Miss Angel Locsin, thank you so much!” Melai said in expressing her gratitude.

News of Locsin’s assistance quickly spread online, drawing admiration from netizens who have long associated the actress with humanitarian efforts and disaster response initiatives.
Many social media users pointed out that Locsin continues to help communities in need even though she rarely publicizes her charitable activities.
Several praised the actress for remaining consistent in her commitment to helping others despite maintaining a relatively low public profile in recent years.
Others likened her actions to her iconic superhero role as ‘Darna’, saying that even away from the spotlight, she continues to “fly” toward those who need help.
Throughout her career, Locsin has been recognized not only for her acting projects but also for her extensive involvement in relief operations, fundraising drives, and humanitarian missions during natural disasters and national emergencies.
Although she has largely stepped back from regular showbiz activities and social media in recent years, reports of her quietly supporting various causes continue to surface through the accounts of beneficiaries and fellow celebrities.
Her name once again became a topic of discussion earlier this year when she briefly emerged from her social media hiatus to support her stepson, Joaquin Arce, during his participation in a celebrity edition of Pinoy Big Brother.
She also publicly expressed support for ABS-CBN amid developments involving the media company.
As relief and recovery efforts continue in earthquake-hit communities, Melai’s revelation has highlighted the role of private individuals, volunteers, and public figures who have stepped forward to assist affected families.
For many netizens, Locsin’s latest act of generosity serves as another reminder of why she remains one of the most admired personalities in the country—not only for her work in entertainment but also for her quiet dedication to helping those in need.
While she may no longer be as visible on television as before, supporters say Angel Locsin continues to embody the compassion and service that have long defined her public image.
