“For me, this is a huge honor, kasi they chose 400 honorees all over Asia, at 48 po ang nakapasok sa Pilipinas,” said Locsin, who is listed under the Entertainment category.

“Sa totoo lang po, I’m amazed, inspired, to be alongside artists all over Asia, and I’m proud to represent the land of maraming feelings, Philippines!” she said.

Locsin’s fellow Filipino honorees include champion gymnast Carlos Yulo, political scion Brian Poe Llamanzares, fashion designer Mich Dulce, historian and author Nicole Aboitiz, and photographer Ezra Acayan.

Locsin, who was previously named among Forbes Asia’s “Heroes of Philanthropy” in 2019, has been a visible figure in charitable works in the past decade, taking part personally in relief operations in times of disaster.

More recently, she spearheaded numerous relief programs amid the coronavirus pandemic, notably the #UniTentWeStandPH initiative, which provided additional room for frontliners and patients, and Shop & Share, a celebrity auction meant to raise funds for mass testing.
