Leading the list is Iba ‘Yan host Angel Locsin. It can be recalled that Angel led fundraising projects to help the country’s COVID-19 response, as well as relief efforts in successive calamities this year. In her acceptance speech, Angel highlighted that everyone has the responsibility to influence one another to do good.
“I believe we all have the responsibility to influence one another—to do what is right, to lift each other up, to create awareness about important matters, and to use our voice for the voiceless,” the actress noted.
EdukCircle also named It’s Showtime host Anne Curtis and actress Bea Alonzo who both promised to continue setting good examples for the public, especially the youth.
FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano star Coco Martin, The House Arrest of Us stars Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo, pop queen Sarah Geronimo, and the TV host Vice Ganda all thanked EdukCircle for the trust and recognition.
Meanwhile, Kapamilya stars also shined at the inaugural Fobes Asia’s 100 Digital Stars. The list, which aims to recognize the most influential personalities in the Asia-Pacific region, named Angel, Anne, Kathryn, Sarah, and Vice as most influential Filipino stars.
Forbes Asia took notice of Kim Chiu who is included on the list after she made something positive out of her viral video gaffe earlier this year. Kim sold “Bawal Lumabas” t-shirts to help those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. She also published a song inspired by the viral statement that raked in over nine million views on YouTube.
