<p>Actress Kira Balinger recently shared how she chose to do her part to help victims of the Typhoon Carina which flooded parts of the country last week. In a social media post, the 23-year-old actress explained that she also took inspiration from local superhero <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/darna"><em><strong>Darna</strong></em></a> when she heeded the call for donations for her fellow Pinoys. Kira was also part of the cast of the 2022 fantaserye series <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/darna"><em><strong>Mars Ravelo&#x27;s Darna</strong></em></a> where she played the role of the Planet Marte warrior Luna.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/7/24/gerald-anderson-braves-flood-waters-to-rescue-a-family-amid-super-typhoon-carina-2053"><strong>READ:  Gerald Anderson braves flood waters to rescue a family during Super Typhoon Carina</strong></a></div><p>In her Instagram post, Kira wrote, “Darna once said, &#x27;Ang pinaka malaking kasalanan ay kapag may kakayahan kang tumulong pero wala kang ginawa.&#x27; That’s one good thing that really stuck with me from that show. I’m not Darna, but just a simple person who wanted to share my blessings to those who were affected by Super Typhoon Carina. It just so happens that Tumana, Marikina, is where we shoot <em>Padyak Princess</em>! It was impossible to turn a blind eye to the people from there who we always see whenever there is taping.</p><p>&quot;To the barangay captains whom I met with earlier, thank you for accommodating us and for doing your best during this stressful situation!</p><p>&quot;To the Singkusing community, I hope my help gets to you 🙏🏻 It is not very much pero sana makatulong kahit paano.”</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C94VXa_Pghw/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2045641%2C%22ls%22%3A2045395%2C%22le%22%3A2045408%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="857" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/5/17/kira-balinger-on-having-feelings-for-kelvin-miranda-stuff-happens-before-we-even-know-it-1110"><strong>READ: Kira Balinger on having feelings for Kelvin Miranda: ‘Stuff happens before we even know it’</strong></a></div><p>In the same post, Kira clarified that she was not posting photos of her donations in order to brag about helping, but to inspire others to do the same.</p><p>“DISCLAIMER: this post is not to &#x27;brag&#x27; 🥴 But to hopefully encourage others to help too. These people have lost literally EVERYTHING to the flooding. 😔 It was incredibly difficult to even get to the barangay hall due to all of the wreckage/ruined belongings that are dumped by the road. A little help goes a long way!” she added.</p><p>Earlier this year, Kira starred in the film <em>Chances Are, You and I</em>, opposite Kelvin Miranda.</p>
