Miss Universe Philippines 2nd runner-up Michele Gumabao is among the first celebrity responders who extended help to displaced families in Marikina due to the heavy rains and strong winds brought about by Typhoon Ulysses that caused widespread and destructive flooding in the city.
The beauty queen took to social media to inform the public about the relief operations and also asked for donations for the affected residents.
She wrote, “24/7 Lugaw para sa Mga displaced residents ng marikina. Your 200 Pesos is accepting donations once again, we will distribute all goods together with Philippine National Police Rektang Bayanihan Program!”
In another post, Michele shared that they have provided over 5,000 meals for the residents and the responders as well.
“More than 5,000 meals were provided today by our PNP not only for victims of the typhoon but also for all the frontliners who are braving the floods to rescue stranded residents!
“I salute our PNP, Army, Navy, Coastguard and all other Gov and NGO who are at the front lines of service! More than doing their jobs, they are also risking their lives and their health,” she said.
Netizens were quick to commend Michele's bravery and generosity, too.
