We Filipinos are known for being resilient. But perhaps our best trait in times of crisis is our bayanihan spirit. Whatever happens, we always have each other's backs, and we would gladly go out of our way to support and assist those in need. Despite our concerted efforts in containing the coronavirus or COVID-19, many groups lack the resources to continue their service to our country, such as our brave frontliners. A lot of underprivileged families are also in dire need of sustenance.
If you've been looking for ways to help our fellow Filipinos in this fight against the widespread virus, here's a rolling list of groups you can contact. As Luzon is under enhanced community quarantine and we are advised to stay at home, these are calls for cash donations, which you can do through online banking.
We'll be updating this with new calls for help, so feel free to bookmark this to stay tuned.
Frontliners
Philippine General Hospital
Office of the Vice President
"The Kaya Natin! Movement, in coordination with the Office of the Vice President, is organizing a donation and fundraising campaign for personal protective equipment (PPE) and care/food packs for health workers and frontliners fighting COVID-19.
Each PPE Daily Set Ticket consists of one N95 mask, one gown, two sets of gloves, two pieces of head covers, two sets of shoe covers and one pair of goggles. This is only good for one (1) health worker. Each Food and Care Pack Ticket will help one health worker/frontliner per day."
