SHOP AND SHARE
Shop and Share is a project conceptualized by Filipino actress and Red Cross Ambassador Angel Locsin. Along with her fellow Filipino celebrity friends-Ann Curtis, Kris Aquino, Ruffa Guttierez, Luis Manzano and Pokwang, Ambassador Locsin has posted several designer items up for auction. Proceeds of the sales will go to the Philippine National Red Cross’ disaster relief efforts.

These figures do not do justice to the shattered lives of the Filipinos affected by typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng.
With all the damage that these typhoons have brought upon the people of the Phillipines, help from unexpected people and places was soon to be found. As grateful as we are for this help, there is more that needs to be done. In a matter of moments lives were destroyed, and it is going to take a lot to rebuild them.
