After months of silence on social media, Angel Locsin has finally spoken up—this time against corruption in the Philippines.
The “Darna” star took to Instagram Stories on September 21, in time with the massive rallies in Metro Manila and across the country. Her words were filled with both pain and fire.
“To all Filipinos fighting corruption – may God give you more strength to keep going,” she began.
Remembering the Flood Victims
Angel admitted she has been quietly following the Senate and Congress investigations into corruption in flood control projects. The hearings reminded her of heartbreaking stories she once read—families who lost their homes, breadwinners who lost jobs, and lives taken by floods and typhoons.
Her emotions spilled over in her post:
“Naiiyak ako sa galit kasi pwede pa lang hindi sila naghirap. Pwede pa lang walang nasaktan. Pwede pa lang walang namatay.”
For her, silence was no longer an option.
“Mas nakakapanghina kung mananahimik lang tayo. Kaya we keep speaking, we keep fighting. For justice. For change. No politics. Para sa tao.”
Angel’s Message Spreads Online
On X (formerly Twitter), Angel amplified her message with a striking quote:
“Ang sa amin, galing sa hirap – ang sa inyo, galing sa mahirap.”
She ended with the hashtag #StopTheCorruption.
Her post quickly gained support. Actress Anne Curtis, who joined the “Trillion Peso March” at the EDSA People Power Monument, reshared Angel’s message with pride:
“My girl is back out to raise her voice! Go Mars!”
