Once again, NBA player Pau Gasol expresses his concern for the Philippines.

The Los Angeles Lakers star tweeted a message of support for victims of the magnitude 7.2 earthquake that shook the Visayas on Tuesday morning and caused heavy damage, particularly in the provinces of Cebu and Bohol.



This isn't the first time Gasol has sent out good vibes to the country in the aftermath of a natural calamity. Last August, the Spanish star tweeted a similar message of concern for victims of the heavy flooding caused by the Habagat.

A heavy Twitter user, Gasol also recently exchanged tweets Gilas Pilipinas coach Chot Reyes about the country's participation in next year's FIBA World Cup, which will be hosted by Spain.

Gasol and the Lakers are currently in China for the NBA Global Games. They lost to the Golden State Warriors, 100-95, in Beijing on Tuesday night.
