MANILA – Former beauty queen Charlene Gonzales and her husband, actor Aga Muhlach, are planning to fly to the Visayas to personally help those affected by super typhoon “Yolanda.”
But this will not happen anytime this week as the government is still trying to make it easier for relief goods to get into the affected areas, Gonzales said.
“I plan to go to Tacloban or Ormoc when things start to clear up. My understanding kasi medyo parang hndi makapasok pa. When things start to clear up, baka by next week or the week after, may plano kami ni Aga na pupunta kami doon,” Gonzales said.
For now, Gonzales said she will keep herself busy by volunteering in various organizations with ongoing relief operations.
“I’ve been joining different fund-raisers and relief operations. I’ll be joining Sagip Kapamilya, Unilever, Red Cross. I’m really encouraging others to go out and try to give support and help na kailangan ng ating mga kababayan,” she said.
Saying this is the time when Filipinos should be united, Gonzales said: “My heart really goes out to our kababayans who go through this tragic moment. Naiyak talaga ako. We should really help 'yung ating mga kababayan na nasalanta sa bagyo.”
Gonzales also urged Filipinos to stay united.
“I’m asking everyone to go out and help kung kaya niyo, in your own little way,” she said.
