Metro Manila, Philippines – A number of celebrities were seen off-screen helping typhoon victims amid the risks.

Some distributed relief packs while others handed out meals.

Here are some of them:

Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera

Reel- to real-life couple Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera, better known as “DongYan,” took time off to send aid.

In an Instagram story, Marian was seen packing canned goods.

The Dantes family managed to pack over 700 bags of relief goods. “DongYan” personally turned them over to the GMA Kapuso Foundation warehouse.

Dantes, meanwhile, went to a number of evacuation centers and handed out relief goods to the evacuees.

Fashion icon and actress Heart Evangelista also visited the evacuees.

Evangelista, wife of Senate President Chiz Escudero, went to the Sto. Niño Elementary School in Marikina City on Friday.

In an Instagram post, Evangelista said the Senate Spouses Foundation, Inc. (SSFI) team gathered resources and manpower to provide aid to over 2,000 people.

“My other SSFI fellows who are also in the midst of their individual relief operations sent food, water and rice to add to our care packs,” she said in the caption.

Donny Pangilinan
