Okada pledges P50 million aid amid CoVID-19 crisis

We have yet another private institution standing side-by-side with the government in our rally against COVID-19.

Okada Manila, a luxury casino resort and hotel in Manila, pledged P50M through the Okada Foundation.

With the continuous plead of our medical personnel for support, Okada Foundation adhered to the calling of helping our frontliners. Okada Manila will be donating P25M to the Lung Center of the Philippines (LCP) and another P25M to the Philippine Heart Center (PHC).

With the continuous rising of cases in the nation, we need more philanthropists and companies to help in aiding our medical personnel so they would be able to continue healing our patients.

Okada Foundation said that the donation would be used by the hospitals to purchase needed items in their combat against COVID-19.

“Okada Manila stands united with all medical frontliners whose selfless acts of service help keep the nation safe,”

With the never-ending support of generous individuals, foundations, and companies, may more of the aforementioned be inspired to help the nation.

Cebuano band ‘The Sundown’ releases new single ‘UwU’

After all the negative news we’ve been hearing, it’s high time we take a break and read something new.

If all that you’ve ever done since the home quarantine period was listen to music, you’ve got something new for your playlist.

The Sundown Cebu

The Sundown, a Cebuano band, aptly named because of their music suited for playing during sunsets, will be releasing a new single “UwU” on March 26 on all streaming platforms. Though the song was previously written during 2018, it is only now that the song has been ready for release.

The song “UwU” is perfect for the home-quarantine period because it’s about reminiscing all the good and bad moments you have spent with someone. This song claims to flash back all the memories down the line so make sure you set your volume at high.

The Sundown members:

  • Aaron Domingo (vocalist)
  • Vincent James Eco (guitarist)
  • Gino Rosales (guitarist)
  • Alden Panes (drummer)
  • Luigi Balazo (bassist)

With all that is happening around us, it could get overwhelming. Let’s all take a step back, collect our thoughts, reminisce, breathe, smile, pray, and listen to good Cebuano music.

Cebu City to launch 15 ‘Mobile Palengke’ units to lessen public market trips

The announcement of Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in the whole Cebu province and some independent cities in Cebu has sent the people to the doors of every grocery. 

Though this is a misconception since the grocery stores will still be open in an ECQ, going out is still a risk. 

Well, worry not Cebuanos because 15 mobile markets are coming to you. They will go around Cebu City during the enhanced community quarantine period and serve the Sugboanons.

They have not yet announced the specific areas where these mobile markets will be placed. Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella have suggested though that these mobile markets be placed in mountain areas to limit the movements of the residents living there.

The mobile markets will be selling:

  • fruits
  • vegetables
  • meat
  • others

Labella said that there are plans for more suppliers to have a mobile market too.

Starbucks Philippines closes All Stores amid CoVID-19

As it seems, not just travel, but good coffee can wait too. 

With all the Enhanced Community Quarantine being imposed everywhere in the country, Starbucks Philippines has recently announced the temporary closure of all their stores in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

While it is disheartening to not be able to have a taste of our favorite coffee, the safety of everyone is much more important. Caring for our community is the top priority.

Starbucks has also provided frontliners with food and beverages. These frontliners include the medical personnel, law enforcement personnel, NGO volunteers, and other organizations.

Stay safe everyone. #TatagPinoy

Uniqlo donates P10 million for Food Assistance and PPE’s for CoVID-19 frontliners

“The Filipino spirit is stronger together and we will get through this together.”

Reading about new private institutions pledging whatever they can to battle with the nation is overwhelming, and then we receive news about doing whatever they can to support the government. There are also brands whom we have been loving, are being one with the whole nation. These news lift a bit of our worries away.

Uniqlo, an international brand of clothing, will also be pledging their own for our frontliners. They will be donating P10 million to the SM Foundation to be used for food assistance and personal protective equipment (PPEs) for our modern day heroes.

With more and more people and companies helping our nation with her combat against COVID-19, may all the pledges be allocated to the rightful people and may more corporations and individuals help us rise from this pandemic.

Kathryn Bernardo ‘low-key’ donates to CoVID-19 Medical Frontliners

To someone who has always been on the spotlight, she has finally taken a step back and decided to work behind the scenes.

Celebrating her 24th birthday today, March 26, Kathryn Bernardo, a famous celebrity, has just been exposed to the public to have been ‘low-key’ helping some of our nation’s frontliners.

In a birthday greeting by Juan Miguel Severo, he mentioned how Kathryn has been secretly helping our frontliners: “Ito nakakachat ko naman halos araw-araw, walang sinasabi tapos malalaman ko na lang sa iba na kung ano-ano na palang tulong ang pinapaabot?”

The greeting was accompanied by screenshots of the food donations given by Kathryn.

Contrary to her being in the limelight, this act of kindness shown by Kath only goes to show how genuine her heart is.

Kathryn has been sending food donations to the healthcare workers of:

  • San Lazaro Hospital
  • Rosario Maclan Bautista Hospital
  • Barangay Claro in Quezon City
  • Barangay Manga in Quezon City

Though we respect that some people would prefer to keep their identities private while helping, we couldn’t help but honor them for taking good care of our kababayans. We owe them the help they’ve provided for our frontliners. Let’s continue praying for one another.

Happy Birthday, Queen Kath!

Solaire donates P60 million worth of PPE’s to DOH for CoVID-19 frontliners

When you have more than what you need, share.

This is probably what the big businesses in the country have been thinking. We are grateful for the incoming blessings for our frontliners and kababayans in help.

Another institution who has helped in our rally against COVID-19 is Bloombery Cultural Foundation Inc. (BCFI). BCFI is the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of Solaire Resort & Casino and they will be donating P60 million worth of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and N95 masks to the Department of Health late next week.

BCFI has also applied with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the permits needed to secure the 3 testing kits from South Korea and China that they will be donating.

Let us help BCFI by praying for these permits to be released because as per Solaire:

“As soon as the clearances and permits are issued, BCFI shall procure 100,000 test kits to augment the much needed supply of the government for testing COVID-19.”

We would also like to encourage everyone to join with the government in this combat against COVID-19. Let us stay at home, sew masks if you can, produce makeshift PPE’s or face shields, and pray. These micro efforts of ours could make a macro effect to the whole nation.

Dubai’s Burj Khalifa displays ‘Stay Home’ message amid CoVID-19 spread

Staying at home shouldn’t be a choice, it should be a necessary demand for the public.

With the upsurge of the positive cases of COVID-19 around the globe, the only way to straighten the curb is to stay at home. The government has been strengthening their campaigns to encourage the public to stay in their respective homes and some private companies have also done the same.

One good example is the world’s tallest skyscraper, Burj Khalifa. The skyscraper encouraged the residents of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by litting up the skscyraper with the message “STAY HOME” flashed in different languages.

On March 23, not only the residents of UAE were inspired to stay in their humble abodes, but also the people who have seen the photos circulating online. Hence, if you just learned of this now, it’s high time that you take staying at home on a serious note.

Prince of Dubai, Hh Sheikh bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, has issued a message for the people in the UAE, saying:

“The only way to guarantee that we safeguard the well-being of our loved ones is to act now, together and without exceptions. Stay Home. Social Distancing is NOT a matter of choice. it is a critical DEMAND from every one of us, in order for our city and our society to remain safe.”

We’re hoping that as Cebuanos, we will also be inspired to take a cue on this step to always STAY AT HOME unless we have important business to attend to. Let us help our frontliners combat this pandemic. Let’s make their jobs a little bit easier. We can do this. We know we can.
