Gerald Anderson assists in saving a family in Quezon City that is stuck in floodwaters.

Super Typhoon Carina's flooding stranded a family until real-life superhero Gerald Anderson came to their aid. He was shown in a video carrying a sobbing girl to safety while wading through chest-deep water.

“Sasama ang nanay mo, tara (Your mother will be with you. Come here),” Anderson said in a clear and confident voice, before eventually carrying the pink-hooded child to safety.

“Okay, ako ang bahala sa’yo (Okay, I’ll take care of you),” the actor said right after.

Anderson earned praise from netizens on social media for his deeds. Others pointed out that Anderson has always been consistent in helping families, even during Typhoon Ondoy in 2009.

Along with the Philippine Coast Guard, actor Gerald Anderson delivered supplies to typhoon victims in Cagayan and Isabela in November 2020. He underwent Soldiers Skills Orientation Training in 2019 and is currently serving in the Philippine Army. Metro Manila saw flooding as Typhoon Carina intensified into a super typhoon.
