Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes donated more than 700 relief packs to the GMA Kapuso Foundation as part of the relief operations to help communities affected by Super Typhoon Carina and the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat).
According Aubrey Carampel’s report on “Balitanghali,” Friday, Marian repacked the relief goods at home with her family before personally turning these over with Dingdong at the GMA Kapuso Foundation warehouse.
“Thank you very much to those who donated and at least we can collect that many bags so that we can give and distribute to our compatriots,” said Marian in a report aired on “24 Oras,” Friday night.
“We decided to turn over everything here at the GMA Kapuso Foundation because we know that the GMA Kapuso Foundation is always first when it comes to sites, in this kind of disasters,” Dingdong said.
On Instagram Stories, Marian shared scenes from their repacking activity at home. Daughter Zia and son Sixto joined Marian in the repacking, as well as their household staff, fashion stylists Melville Sy and Shark Tanael, and more.
Recently, Dingdong and fellow Navy reservists Rocco Nacino and Beatrice Gomez also joined GMA Kapuso Foundation in delivering relief goods for Carina victims in Marikina City.
On Friday, Heart Evangelista led the distribution of relief goods in Sto. Niño Elementary School in Marikina.
Sparkle stars have likewise volunteered their services to repack relief goods at GMA Kapuso Foundation, while proceeds from the recently held GMA Gala 2024 have also been diverted for the benefit of communities affected by the calamity.
Metro Manila, Bataan, Bulacan, Batangas, and Cavite were placed under a state of calamity this week amid heavy rainfall and massive flooding brought by Typhoon Carina and the Habagat.
