Cristine Reyes: Beautiful Typhoon Victim

Cristine Reyes (Ara Cristine Pascual Reyes) is a Filipina actress born in 1989. Cristine was a contestants on a reality talent show called StarStruck. Although she was eliminated from the show fairly early, her appearance sparked enough interest that she began getting some offers from film and TV producers.

Cristine was one of many people in the Philippines that suffered from recent typhoons. She was reportedly trapped on the roofof her home during tropical storm “Ondoy” which wreaked havoc in the Metro Manila area. In a phone interview with ABS-CBN News, Cristine tearfully appealed for rescue teams to send help and said that the flood had reached the second floor of her family's house, forcing them to the roof. Fortunately, Cristine was later rescued by Richard Gutierrez, a Filipino-American actor co-stars with her in a movie called Patient X. I'm just a bit jealous that I wasn't there to be the rescuing hero.

Thankfully, Cristine was rescued and will likely be ok. However many Filipinos are not anywhere near as fortunate since a very large percentage are very poor and have no insurance. If you'd like to help some of the less fortunate victims of the recent typhoons in the Philippines, here are some charity organizations that accept contributions by credit card and Paypal:

• Philippine National Red Cross
• Unicef

Cristine has appeared in quite a few Filipino films and TV shows, including Beautiful Life, Pa-Siyam, Mourning Girls, and Barang. 

Cristine is the younger sister of Ara Mina, another popular actress (as well as a singer and model) in the Philippines. Cristine has reportedly asked her big sis for advice on filming sexy love scenes. I hope Ara told Cristine to give it her all and go for as much realism as possible.

Cristine is apparently not surprisingly quite popular among the Filipino celebrity dating circles, having been linked to Mark Herras, Anton dela Paz, Mark Lapid, Joross Gamboa, Jake Cuenca, Dennis Trillo and others.I don't know who any of these guys are, but if the rumors are true, young Cristine has quite an active social life.

Among her many modeling jobs, Cristine has been featured twice in FHM Philippines, and is on the cover of the September 2009 edition.
