She has personally sent aid and helped coordinate relief operations even while juggling a demanding taping schedule.

Kim, who was in the middle of filming her upcoming Prime Video series “The Alibi” when the tremor struck, quickly shifted her focus to helping her fellow Cebuanos.

Social media posts showed her inside a warehouse personally buying and organizing construction materials to help rebuild damaged homes.

On her official Facebook page, the “It’s Showtime” host was seen checking donations being prepared for deployment.

Photos later surfaced of her overseeing two 10-wheeler trucks filled with lumber, roofing and other supplies destined for hard-hit towns, including Bogo City and San Remigio.

TV producer Carlina dela Merced praised Kim’s dedication, sharing a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her relief efforts.

“Here in Kim’s room. She’s busy coordinating the donations she’s giving here in Cebu. Kung maririnig nyo lang kung paano siya maging concern... Nakakatouch talaga," Carlina wrote on X.

Another netizen posted a video of Kim personally attending to paperwork for the donations, calling attention to her handson approach despite her tight schedule.

"She prioritizes purchasing house materials for earthquake victims despite her busy schedule... napakabuti ng puso mo, Kimmy," the fan captioned.
