KC Concepcion sends P200K donation to help fishermen in Bicol
Filipina actress KC Concepcion thanked all those who helped her raise funds she donated to WWF-Philippines’s Project Silong, a drive that aims to help fishing communities of Lagonoy Gulf affected by Super Typhoon Rolly and Typhoon Ulysses that recently hit the Philippines.
On her Instagram account, the actress said that she was able to raise P200,000 from those who bought products from her jewelry line, Avec Moi by Kristina, from November 17 to November 27.
“That will help provide 2,511 fiberglass boats for sustainable fishing & rebuild lives of our fishermen in Bicol, Philippines,” she said.
Aside from this financial assistance, the actress will be coordinating with the Office of the Vice President and the Kaya Natin Movement next week to provide 200 packs of relief goods worth P500 each to give to Filipinos in Cagayan Valley.
“THANK YOU!!! Maraming salamat (Thank you so much), loves.” KC said.

“With 3 planes, a group of close friends, face shields, disinfectant sprays, and masks, we were able to fly 12,000 relief packs + 8,000 bottles of drinking water, and personally distribute these to the beautiful people of Cagayan,” she said on November 17.
