MANILA — Angel Locsin, Anne Curtis and other celebrities used microblogging site Twitter to ask Filipinos to help and continue praying for the victims of earthquake in Cebu and Bohol. The 7.2-magnitude earthquake devastated both provinces, which are part of the Visayas region, on Tuesday morning, leaving at least 93 people dead. “Let's continue to pray for those who were injured and the strength of each town/city that now has to deal with the aftermath (of the quake),” said TV host and movie star Ann Curtis.”Praying for everyone's safety after the quake in Bohol and Cebu. It's sad to see beautiful churches crumble down.” “If only corrupt public officials would share even just 1/8 of their wealth to our kababayan (countrymen) who have suffered from disaster, poverty and war ... millions of Filipinos won't suffer anymore,” said movie actress Angel Locsin. From actress Judy Ann Agoncillo: “Help Cebu. Prayers to everyone ... keep the faith.” “I have been crying while monitoring the news back home ... Visayas and Mindanao have always been so good and loving to me, and are both dear to my heart...,” said singer Sharon Cuneta. — SG
