Hanabishi joined individuals and other organizations in heeding the call of the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) and ABS-CBN for donations to help the country’s frontliners and families amidst the coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Since April 15, the number of people who have recovered from the coronavirus disease has surpassed the nationwide death toll. Today, there are a total of 693 recoveries and 446 deaths. Of those 446, 9 died just yesterday. So while the situation is improving, there is still much to do.

As the Philippines undergoes its enhanced community quarantine to help prevent the further spread of COVID-19, many Filipinos are stepping up and helping out in any way they can, serving as an inspiration to many others to also do their part for everyone in need.

In these trying times, the pandemic has caused a lot of struggles for our frontliners, whether medical, in the military, etc. To help out, the Universal Robina Corporation (URC) and the Gokongwei Brothers Foundation (GBF) are in the works of providing essential face shields with the use of URC’s available resources.

Many cities across the archipelago have been under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) for over a month now to help flatten the COVID-19 curve. Despite the lockdown, the country’s frontliners have not ceased in serving the Filipinos. They have been braving the streets to sustain the operations of their respective institutions.
