@PascualLlyod: “We live just in front of where he is staying and this is him helping transport people.”
Because of his polite behavior, netizens were impressed by Gerald's action.
This was not the first time that Gerald was seen helping out in rescue operations. It can be recalled that in 2009, the then-20-year-old helped rescue his stranded neighbors in Vista Real Classica in Quezon City during Tropical Storm "Ondoy."
Gerald has been an active member of the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary (PCGA) unit since 2016. He currently serves as the Auxiliary Lieutenant Commander of the K9 Squadron, where his partner, actress Julia Barretto, has also been a member since 2021.
“Not the first time. Magaling din kasi lumangoy. Remember, PCG Auxiliary Commander si Gerald. Thank you, Auxiliary Lieutenant Commander Gerald Anderson. Salute.”
“Good job! Sana lahat ng famous celebs at politicians ganyan.”
“Thumbs up for this true hero.. keep it going Gerald.”
“Palagi siyang tumutulong pag may typhoon. Blessed him..”
“Gerald is doing it again, again and again!!! True blue hero!!!.”
Typhoon 'Carina' and Southwest Monsoon or habagat brings continuous rain in Metro Manila and nearby provinces that resulted in high flood.
Earlier, a state of calamity has been declared in the National Capital Region by the Manila Council (MMC).
Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Benhur Abalos also recommended to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to put Metro Manila under a state of calamity.
