Kapuso actor Miguel Tanfelix continues to expand his horizons as World Vision Philippines’ newest ambassador for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).
Present during the contract signing were GMA Senior Assistant Vice President for Alternative Productions Gigi Santiago-Lara, GMA Artist Center Senior Talent Manager Vic Del Rosario, World Vision Resource Development Director Jun Godornes, and National Director of World Vision in the Philippines Rommel Fuerte.
Miguel feels grateful to be part of a campaign on disaster risk reduction, “Thankful ako na mas mapapalaki ‘yung pag-reach out ko sa mga nangangailangan.”
An adventurous lad, he is looking forward to fulfill his responsibilities as an ambassador and hopes to inspire the youth to play an active role in mitigating disasters and promoting a stronger community.
For this purpose, Miguel will undergo the necessary training and briefing for disaster risk reduction at the head office of World Vision Philippines so he can impart the knowledge to his fellow youth. Miguel is also willing to visit areas around the country and share the learnings on how to avoid or at the very least minimize the effect of disasters caused by natural calamities.
“First, alam natin na sobrang lakas ng social media ngayon. ‘Yung mga social media posts, malaking tulong iyon. Siyempre hindi lang ‘yon, kailangan makita nila na ginagawa mo talaga. So I will be very hands-on sa mga gagawin naming operations.”
Miguel will also support children in need through the World Vision Philippines Sponsor a Child Program.
Recently, GMA’s Prince of Primetime was recognized as Best Actor in a Leading Role category for his remarkable portrayal in Kambal, Karibal by the Asian Academy Creative Awards.
