Angel Locsin and other celebrities appeal for financial assistance for wage earners affected by enhanced community quarantine.
Suspension of public transport, regulation of provision of food and essential health services, Heightened presence of uniformed personnel to enforce quarantine, and strict implementation of home quarantine should be observed as the President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte orders the entire Luzon under 'enhanced community quarantine' on Monday, March 16.
With this directive, many were locked down to their homes, leaving their work behind. Some private companies arranged a temporary work from home set-up for their employees. But not everyone has the privilege to work from home and stay at home that's why Angel Locsin and other celebrities appeal for financial assistance for minimum wage earners affected by the quarantine.
On her Instagram account, Angel Locsin wrote "Alam natin na importante ang social distancing at proper hygiene pero hindi po ito sasapat kung may mga kababayan tayo na kelangang maghanapbuhay bawat-araw para makakain at matustusan ang mga basic needs ng pamilya gaya ng pambayad sa renta, kuryente, tubig, at iba pa."
"Kung matitiyak lang po sana ng ating pamahalaan na may financial support para sa kanila, hindi nila kelangang sumugal sa labas."
Few other celebrities like Bianca Gonzales, Erwan Heussaff and DJ Chacha have the same sentiments and shared their thoughts on their respective social media accounts.
As we continue to fight against this virus, we need ‘Bayanihan’ more than ever. Let us help each other to get through this. No one should be left behind.
