Cebuanos develop disinfectant-spraying booths for hospitals in Cebu

The world is fighting together against the spread of CoVID-19. Every country, down to the local government units and the citizens, works on their own ways and strategies to combat the pandemic. And the Cebuanos are shining in times of pandemic.

After a fellow Cebuano develop a mobile app to help trace locations of CoVID-19 PUMs or PUIs, comes another heartwarming news of a team of Cebuanos setting up disinfectant-spraying booths, also known as the SunnyTation Tents, for the public and private hospitals in Cebu, major public spaces, and vulnerable communities.

The SunnyTation Tent is a chamber installed with a sprinkler system that mists out a disinfectant solution for individuals prior to entering a public space.

The first Sunnytation has been recently installed at Chong Hua Hospital – Mandaue. Meanwhile, the first batch of ‘Sunnytations’ will be rolled out in selected hospitals in Cebu, supermarkets, pubic markets, pharmacies, PUV terminals, and BPO offices.

This fur baby is also a frontliner amid CoVID-19 Crisis

If you think you have given thanks to all the frontliners, you’re almost right.

You probably have said your thanks to the nurses, doctors, security guards, janitors, salespeople, policemen, armies, and etc., but you must’ve failed to include our fur frontliner.

Yes, a furbaby has been working hand-in-hand with our medical frontliners in our battle against the pandemic COVID-19.

A dog named Wynn has been braving the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. Wynn, a service dog working side-by-side Dr. Susan, an ER doctor, has been comforting our medical frontliners.

“Wynn goes to the ER each day and stays within the social workers’ inner office, so no one touches her but staff can wash up and have a moment with her,”

PAWSsion explained.
View this post on Instagram

This is Dr. Susan. She is an ER doctor at the front lines of fighting COVID-19. She is doing it all with her dog, Wynn, by her side. Susan is raising Wynn for Canine Companions for Independence. Canine Companions places assistance dogs free of charge with children, adults, and veterans with disabilities. Wynn goes to the ER each day and stays within the social workers’ inner office, so no one touches her but staff can wash up and have a moment with her. Susan says that Wynn has saved the doctors and nurses because they are very stressed and anxious, sometimes too busy to be scared. “We can find comfort in each other when we know I have your back and you have mine.” If you ask me- they are both superheroes!🤎 CTTO.

A post shared by Pawssion Project Foundation🐾 (@pawssionproject) on

Wynn has been saving our medical frontliners by comforting them after a tiring day saving lives.

May this serve as an inspiration to each of us to also do the best that we can to comfort our frontliners, even the people or fur pets who have saved us and helped us get through our days.

OVP raised P36.2 million for Personal Protective Equipment for CoVID-19 frontliners

As the number of confirmed cases in our country continues to rise, our government is constantly looking for ways and build programs targeted to provide help to our medical workers, frontliners, infected citizens, and sectors greatly affected by this pandemic. Two of the highest elected officials even made announcements on their actionable plans regarding this health issue – one is from the Office of the Vice President (OVP).

On March 17, 2020, the OVP, together with its partnering organizations announced that they were raising funds to provide personal protective equipments (PPEs) to more than 3,000 frontliners as they dangerously fight the novel coronavirus pandemic.

OVP Leni Robredo Fundraising COVID-19

Exactly a week after, March 24, 2020 – Vice President Leni Robredo disclosed on a Facebook post that they already collected P17.3 million which they immediately used to purchase equipment for health workers and infected people.

“The said amount, as of Monday evening, can provide for more than 52,000 PPE sets and other forms of assistance for 3,484 frontliners,”

the Office of the Vice President said.

Aside from the protective gear, transport services were also being offered to our health workers who were affected by the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine.

As of today, the OVP has raised P36.2 million.

“Nakakalap na tayo, sa suma total, ng higit P36.2 million. Mula ito sa pinagsamang P5.9 million na iniambag ng Office of the Vice President at and hight P30.2 million na nakalap mula sa donation drive na sinimulan ng ating Angat Buhay partner, and Kaya Natin!”

, Robredo said.

“Maraming, maraming salamat sa mga nagdonate. Totoo nga po: We responded to the worst of times with the best in ourselves,.”

So far, they have distributed 30,450 PPE sets to different hospitals.

The Philippines now has 1,075 confirmed cases of COVID-19, 68 of which have died, and 35 at least have recovered.

Cebuano develops mobile app to help trace locations of CoVID-19 PUMs or PUIs

It seems like our mobile phone obsession will finally be of help to the society.

“WeTrace” is a mobile app that helps the Department of Health (DOH) trace people who came into contact with persons suspected of carrying the novel coronavirus (CoVID-19).

This mobile application, which was developed by Cebuano IT expert Eddie Ybañez, has made it possible to have location-tracking, patient-mapping, case-reporting, alerts, and messages.

“Maayo ni siya nga app kay makatabang kaayo sa atong goal nga containment kay ma-trace na man dayon ang location sa PUMs (persons under monitoring) or PUIs (patients under investigation),”

– Cebu Gov. Gwen Garcia

WeTrace app features:

Geo-coordinates: give users the idea on the suspected persons’ whereabouts and who they came in contact with.

QR Code Generation: used for tracking so there will be no personal information divulged. It will serve as the device ID number that will be the only identification trace of every user.

Watch this video to fully appreciate the app:

Download now!

WeTrace is already available for Android phones and will soon be released in iOS phones.

Download it for free and help stem the spread of COVID-19 through Bayanihan-driven contact tracing.

This app in partnership with the Cebu Provincial Government, Department of Health, and the Police Regional Office in Central Visayas.

Bulgari donates thousands of hand gels to Italian authorities amid CoVID-19 crisis

More businesses are joining the global effort in fighting COVID-19.

Another ‘big’ name has shown its support for the combat against the pandemic COVID-19. Bulgari, Roman jeweler, has decided to manufacture hand-gels together with Industrie Cosmetiche Riunite, Lodi (ICR), their fragrances partner.

Apart from the state-of-the-art 3D high definition microscope it donated to Spallanzani Hospital, Bulgari is set to pledge hundred thousand hand gel bottles to all medical facilities through the Italian Civil Protection Department.

“I believe as a major economic actor and symbol of Italy, Bulgari has a responsibility to contribute to the national effort to help prevent, fight, and eradicate COVID-19. Thanks to our fragrances expertise, we have been able to develop together with ICR a ‘hand cleansing gel with sanitizer,’ which will be manufactured in our Lodi Factory already making our high-end perfumes and hotels amenities. Aware of the difficult situation we are experiencing, we believe it is our duty to contribute with our know-how and production facilities and we thank the Italian Civil Protection Department who will take care of the collection and distribution,”

– Jean-Christophe Babin, Bulgari CEO

Bulgari aims to manufacture hundreds of thousands of bottles in the coming two months. Furthermore, Bulgari has also pledged to manufacture around 50 tons of sanitizing gel per week for the French hospitals.

May more brands pro-actively share what they have and offer their resources for the betterment of everyone.
