Angel Locsin is still very busy in raising funds for the victims of recent typhoons that created havoc in our country. As reported earlier in various articles, Angel spearheaded the shopandshare project encouraging celebrities to donate their prized possessions for a worthy cause. Angel's latest donor is Manny Pacquiao. I heard Angel is planning to bid on Manny's donated items.

Auction for a Cause

It’s been a month since typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng brought havoc in the lives of many Filipinos and yet up to now, there is still an outpour of help in the relief and rehabilitation efforts coming from different sectors to support those that have been affected.

A lot of showbiz personalities joined forces as well in helping out the flood victims.

Angel Locsin, a Red Cross Ambassador, spearheaded a campaign that will benefit typhoon victims and asked help from her celebrity friends—Anne Curtis, Dimples Romana and Kris Aquino to donate for her project called "Shop & Share." This is an online auction which showcases personal designer items of showbiz personalities whose proceeds will go to the Philippine National Red Cross’ disaster relief efforts.

According to Philippine Entertainment Portal, Angel was overwhelmed with the positive feedback and response from people and was happy to know that so many of her colleagues wanted to help. Expensive personal items of celebrities such as Hermes, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Chanel are displayed for auction at www.shopandshare.ph.

Here’s a list of celebrities who donated and the items they have shared:

  • -Heart Evangelista (Tiffany and Co. ring and Fendi shades)

When asked as to who donated the most expensive item, Angel simply answered that it really doesn’t matter, for everyone donated something that is special and important to them.
