(Story Update): Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, Piolo Pascual, Richard Gutierrez, KC Concepcion, Dingdong Dantes, Lucky Manzano and many more have contributed to the project.
A Web site that aims to help typhoon victims was recently launched by Filipino celebrities. Spearheaded by Angel Locsin, the site contains items belonging to Filipino celebrities like Anne Curtis, Dimples Romana, and Kris Aquino.
Visiting Shop & Share (http://shopandshare.ph) showcases bags owned by the mentioned celebrities.
Going through the site, I found a Hermes Kelly Bag owned by Angel, a Burberry Bag belonging to Anne, Louis Vuitton Shoes from Pokwang and a Louis Vuitton Bag owned by Kris Aquino.
The welcome page message indicates:
Five days after typhoon "Ondoy" left the Philippines with a death toll in the hundreds, people displaced from their homes in the hundreds of thousands and damage to property in the hundred millions, once again, another typhoon "Pepeng" hits the northern Luzon area. This time, not only hundreds of thousands of Filipinos were displaced, but crops valued in the billions were lost. Roads were impassable and landslildes killed hundreds. This situation is one of the saddest that we as a nation have ever experienced.
In this dire time of need, we would like to be of service to the Filipino people by auctioning some of our possessions to help the people whose lives were affected by "Pepeng". 100 percent of the proceeds will be used to help the "Pepeng" typhoon victims.
Be a part of this auction. Be a part of this cause. Let us help rebuild lives.
Celebrities like Heart Evangelista, Sam Milby and Ruffa Guitierrez also committed to support the project by donating some of their treasured belongings. Angel and the other stars are going house to house to invite other celebrities to join the project.
The site also invites people to make small contributions by donating through the Philippine Red Cross Paypal account. The full proceeds of the project will all go to the people who were affected by the typhoons.
I want to say that this is a project worth supporting--stars coming together to do their part in rebuilding our nation. Now, who says celebrities are just celebrities?
God bless us all!
