While mobilizing material aid, Etrata also delivered a heartfelt message of prayer and resilience, urging her fellow Cebuanos to remain strong and never give up amidst the widespread devastation.
In a public address following the tremor, Etrata, who grew up near Bantayan Island—an area close to the quake’s epicenter in Bogo City and one of the hardest-hit regions, including San Remigio—extended her deepest sympathies.
"Sa mga taga-Cebu diyan, sa mga taga-San Remigio, patuloy lang po sa panalangin, ‘wag mag-give up," the Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre cast member pleaded, her voice filled with emotion. "‘Yung mga nasalanta sa mga nakakaranas ng hirap o nahihirapan, ipagdadasal ko kayo para mas maging strong pa kayo at ‘di mag-give up."
The Kapuso artist confirmed that relief efforts from her end were already underway. "May mga ipinadala na po kaming tulong para sa inyo ha, together, ‘di tayo susuko. Kaya natin lahat ito," she added, emphasizing a message of unity and collaborative recovery.
In addition to dispatching assistance, Etrata utilized her social media platform to amplify the needs of the affected areas, sharing an urgent public call for medical volunteers to augment the manpower, particularly in the northern part of Cebu where casualties are high and infrastructure damage is extensive.
She also reassured the public that her own family residing in the province was safe following the harrowing event.
Etrata’s proactive response to the disaster aligns with her recent dedication to community service and readiness.
Just as the earthquake struck, the actress marked a significant career milestone by signing a Memorandum of Agreement as the first female ambassador of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP).
She expressed her joy and honor at the appointment and is looking forward to promoting the core values of the scouting movement, particularly volunteerism and the mantra of Laging Handa (Always Ready).
Her quick shift from celebrating a major new role to spearheading relief efforts demonstrates a practical application of the 'Always Ready' spirit she now represents.
This convergence of her professional commitment to service and her deep personal connection to the disaster-stricken province has cemented her role as a sincere advocate for the Cebuano people.
The earthquake, which has tragically resulted in numerous fatalities and injuries, galvanized many Cebuano public figures to call for support and unity, with Etrata standing out for mobilizing immediate, tangible relief alongside her prayers for strength and recovery.
Shuvee Etrata gained significant recognition as one of the housemates in the latest edition of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB). Known for her "Island Ate ng Cebu" charm, she quickly became a fan favorite due to her wit, authenticity, and entertaining presence. Although she wasn't the grand winner, she is arguably one of the most popular personalities from her season. She is currently continuing her showbiz journey through guest appearances, hosting stints, and a strong viral presence on social media.
She also called for medical volunteers on Instagram to help northern Cebu after the deadly earthquake. The actress, born in Cebu, also offered prayers for those affected, especially for San Remigio. The 6.9 magnitude quake left at least 69 people dead and over 200 injured while damaging structures and overwhelming rescue services. Cebu was placed under a state of calamity as officials appealed for more aid including food water and medical support.
Recently, the former Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition housemate has been named the first Female Scout Ambassador of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines. The historic appointment was formalized in a memorandum of agreement signing ceremony, as per GMA News' post. In her scout uniform, she stood before officials and members, symbolizing her new role in promoting leadership and service. The Kapuso star received an outpouring of support following the announcement.
