Former Eat Bulaga "You're My Foreignoy" Richard Juan recently donated N95 face masks to evacuees in Tanauan, Batangas, amid Taal Volcano's unrest.

In an Instagram post on Monday, he shared that he ordered the boxes of face masks straight from Hong Kong.

 

 

"Today is yet another fulfilling day! It feels so good that the N95 face masks that I ordered straight from Hong Kong are finally in the hands of people in need! To see their eyes sparkle and see them flash the most genuine smile you’ll ever see when they say thank you just reminds me exactly why I do this," Richard wrote on Instagram.

According to his IG stories, Richard visited several evacuation centers to personally deliver boxes of N95 face masks to the residents.

The 'Dabarkad's Choice Award' winner didn't just drop the masks off; the Filipino-Chinese TV personality even watched an animated film with some of the evacuees. On Sunday, he and his supporters also donated food and other basic supplies to displaced evacuees from the SOS Children's Villages PH.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Nakakataba talaga sa puso tumulong! Today I was finally able to visit my @sosphilippines family, especially because I was told the Manila chapter expanded due to having ALL 130 members of SOS Lipa evacuated to SOS Metro Manila (which already houses around 100 children). The visit could’ve been earlier but the release of the the N95 face masks I ordered and shipped over from Hong Kong for donation/distribution was delayed. Along with my bro @iamchrisjohnson and @thejuanderers (who I invited late last night at around 9pm haha) also brought a lot of joy and love to the village. We laughed, we danced, we sang, we played, we had so much fun! But what I realised today is that besides the basic needs and supplies, the act of us visiting, supporting, and bringing joy and love to the affected, can go a long way too. We often forget that the no matter how big or how small, help is still help — and collectively we can make a big impact. I hope this post reminds you that in moments like this, what we need is a little bit more COMPASSION, EMPATHY, and actually putting your HEART out to help people in need. Because trust me, if we do all that, our world will definitely be a better place.

Since Taal Volcano's first eruption about a week ago, the demand and prices of N95 masks have gone up.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration, these masks gave "a very close facial fit" and were deemed "efficient" against airborne particles.

As of Tuesday, the volcano was still placed at Alert Level 4, meaning that a hazardous eruption is possible within days to hours. — Angelica Y.  Yang/LA, GMA News
