More than 12,000 pages of statements of donations to people to overcome the consequences of storm No. 3 were announced by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front on the evening of September 12, becoming a hot topic on social networks.
As of 5:00 p.m. on September 13, organizations and individuals have transferred 775.5 billion VND to the accounts of the Central Relief Mobilization Committee and the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front.
The online community uses the term "check VAR" to refer to looking up and re-checking transactions in statements, especially those of artists who have donated hundreds of millions of dong.
Through the transaction code, transfer content and account name in the electronic invoice that Vietnamese stars publish, the audience can easily look up the statement for comparison.
Many names were first "checked by VAR" such as Huynh Tran Thanh, Ha Anh Tuan... because before that, Ha Anh Tuan announced a large amount of support of 1 billion VND, Tran Thanh "covered the number" making the online community curious.
Immediately after the statement list was made public, the audience called out Ha Anh Tuan's name. The keyword "Ha Anh Tuan check VAR" was suggested when searching for the male singer's name on Facebook.
In the statement released by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, Ha Anh Tuan's name was not on it. This information caused a stir, but in fact, Ha Anh Tuan had previously donated 1 billion VND in the Central Youth Union's campaign.
On September 10, the Facebook page of the Central Propaganda Department of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union sent thanks to Ha Anh Tuan for donating 1 billion VND, contributing to the efforts of the youth of the whole country to overcome the severe impacts of storms, floods and natural disasters.
Over the years, Ha Anh Tuan has volunteered many times, donating billions of dong to charity. He is a typical artist with sincere ways of donating to charity, winning the hearts of fans.
Ha Anh Tuan participated in planting forests and sponsored 3 negative pressure isolation rooms transferred from Germany to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Quang Ninh to promptly serve the treatment and prevention of COVID-19.
Tran Thanh is also on the first list of "VAR check" because of the mysterious way he covers the numbers.
The online community found out that the male MC donated 200 million VND on September 10 with the content "Huynh Tran Thanh shares with flood victims".
Many artists were also named in the statement such as My Tam (200 million VND), Hoa Minzy and her fan community (400 million VND), Duc Phuc (100 million VND), Vu Cat Tuong (100 million VND), Diep Lam Anh (100 million VND), Huong Tram (100 million VND), Hoang Hai and her fan community (100 million VND)...
In recent days, Vietnamese celebrities have taken many practical actions, providing both material and spiritual support to help people in flooded areas overcome the consequences of natural disasters and stabilize their lives.
Hoa Minzy said she will use all the revenue from her own store from September 13 to 20 to donate to people in flood-hit areas. Previously, the singer donated 400 million VND through the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and 100 million VND through a social fund.
Singer Diep Lam Anh said she flew to Noi Bai airport and traveled to Yen Bai with a group of friends on September 12. She and a volunteer group sent more than 1,000 gifts to people in villages and communes that were severely damaged by storms and floods.
Diep Lam Anh recounted: "After 48 hours of landing in Hanoi, we only slept for a few hours. The rest of the group stayed up almost all night to distribute each gift in full, to help reduce the workload of the staff."
Not only donating money, many Vietnamese stars such as actors Dai Nghia, Ly Hai - Minh Ha, Thai Thuy Linh, Kieu Anh, H'hen Nie... have prepared thousands of items, necessities, and food to help provinces that suffered heavy damage after storm No. 3.
