The actress mingled with the locals and was among those who handed out the supplies, as seen in a series of photos on her Instagram page on Tuesday, Aug. 1.
“Today, I got to visit my father’s hometown and checked with people who are greatly affected with Mayon,” she said in the caption. “Glad that I was able to see them, talk to them and hug them. I was able to see their little smiles and glimmer of hope in their eyes despite what happened.”
Alcantara then looked forward to holding more charities in the future, and urged the public to extend help as well to those who were affected by the recent typhoons that hit the country.
“I encourage everyone to help our kababayan who are in dire need, especially those who are greatly affected with recent typhoons and Mayon,” she stated. “It doesn’t have to be big or small — small things goes a long way, right?”
Alcantara earned the admiration of netizens who commended the actress for her initiative and for her “beautiful heart” in the comments section.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported on Wednesday, Aug. 2, that Mayon’s activities were much lower due to the slow lava effusion from the volcano. The area remains under Alert Level no.3, after registering 258 volcanic earthquakes and 57 ash events last July 31.
According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, Mayon’s unrest has impacted 38,396 individuals or 9,876 families as of Wednesday. EDV
