The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has expressed gratitude to actress Angel Locsin for donating disposable gloves and medical supplies to support the agency's humanitarian service amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
Locsin donated 2,500 pairs of disposable gloves to the Task Group Resource Management, Logistics, and Admin on Tuesday, April 13.
“The men and women of the PCG express their sincere gratitude to Miss Angel Locsin for donating 2,500 pairs of disposable gloves to support the daily operations of the Task Group Airport and Task Group RT-PCR amid the COVID-19 pandemic,” the Coast Guard said in a statement on Thursday, April 15.
“The Task Group Airport and Task Group RT-PCR support the national government in ensuring thousands of returning overseas Filipinos undergo swab testing as one of the measures to control the spread of COVID-19 in the country,” the Coast Guard added.
A few days ago, Locsin was also praised by Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto for donating P1 million to the local government for its COVID-19 response.
Ironically, Locsin has been the one of the targets of criticisms by trolls and die-hard supporters of the present administration for speaking her mind on the allegations of sloppy handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
