Gerald Anderson helps rescue family stranded by floods in Quezon City

July 25 ------ Gerald Anderson could very well be a real-life superhero after he helped rescue a family stranded by floods due to the onslaught of Super Typhoon Carina, which enhanced the southwest monsoon.

A video uploaded by one @TmaeOsanomae on Wednesday, July 24, showed Anderson wading through chest-deep floodwaters to help a family trapped inside their home. After greeting the family, he reached his arms out to carry a crying young girl in a pink jacket so she could be brought to safety. “Sasama ang nanay mo, tara,” Anderson said in a clear and confident voice, before eventually carrying the pink-hooded child to safety. “Okay, ako ang bahala sa’yo,” the actor said right after.

Anderson earned praise from netizens on social media for his deeds. Others pointed out Anderson has always been consistent in helping families even during Typhoon Ondoy in 2009.

Back in November 2020, Anderson made headlines after distributing relief goods to typhoon victims in Cagayan and Isabela with the Philippine Coast Guard. The actor is part of the is part of the Philippine army as a reservist after completing the Soldiers Skills Orientation Training in August 2019.
