In some photos that have been making the rounds online, the actress—who has been dubbed “real-life Darna” by netizens—is seen giving relief packs to typhoon evacuees in Baybay City on Monday, April 18. 

Accompanied by her husband, film producer Neil Arce, she personally delivered aid to the locals in Baybay City Senior High School.
