Sen Leila de Lima: The setup of a community pantry of essential goods in Maginhawa, QC is truly commendable as it created a ripple effect that inspired citizens from diff parts of the country to come to the aid of those struggling to feed their families @rapplerdotcom

@rapplerdotcom De Lima: Saludo po tayo sa mga kababayan nating nagkukusang-loob na tumulong. As we see strangers helping strangers during these hard times, we are reminded that Filipinos’ Bayanihan spirit is very-much alive and that a simple act of kindness goes a long way

@rapplerdotcom De Lima: Lubos tayong nagpapasalamat sa mga gaya ni Patreng na may mabubuting loob at tunay na malasakit sa kapwa, sa kanyang malikhaing pag-iisip at kahandaang tumulong sa gitna ng pandemya.

@rapplerdotcom De Lima: Sa kabila ng kawalang aksyon at pagkukulang ng mga inaasahang tumugon sa krisis, nakita natin ang mga walang alintanang magbukas-palad upang sama-sama nating malampasan ang pagsubok na kinakaharap ng bansa at ng mga Pilipino

@rapplerdotcom De Lima:While the community pantries showed the good in people,it also highlighted the government’s lack of support for Filipinos.I hope that this recent initiative by the public will prompt the government to step up its COVID-19 response.Ang kailangan:Bayanihan, hindi kapabayaan
