American comedian Dave Chappelle did more than just dish jokes during his stay in the Philippines—he also contributed to aid for victims of the Taal Volcano eruption.

Chappelle donated P1 million to Rayomar Outreach Foundation, a nonprofit established by Rayomar Management Inc., which has companies in industries such as shipping and logistics. The comedian’s contribution was announced by venture capitalist Katrina Razon, the daughter of billionaire Enrique K. Razon, via Instagram on Thursday, Jan. 16.

Katrina was all praises for Chappelle, stating, “Dave not only sent audiences here into hysterics, he also demonstrated how kindness and wisdom prevail the way.”

“He joined us at @solaireresort in a donation to the Rayomar Outreach Foundation, a nonprofit on the ground to provide aid to those affected by #TaalVolcano.”

Chappelle entertained Filipino audiences at two sold-out nights in Solaire Resort in Manila from Jan. 14 to 15. It is his first visit to the country along with Filipino wife, Elaine Mendoza Erfe, who was raised in Brooklyn, New York.  The couple has three children.  /ra
