It is not the sole responsibility of the government to stop the global pandemic, and it is imperative for
people to join in the efforts and collectively stop the virus from further infecting anyone.
This rings true in the Philippines, where the spirit of bayanihan is slowly being revived amid the
onslaught of natural and man-made catastrophes that struck the whole country during the first three months of
2020.
Various non-government organizations and even individuals have started calling on Filipinos to help in the war
against the pandemic, whether it’s through volunteerism or through monetary donations.

 Reading and Writing Skills- Quarter 3

Donations drives have been launched by various groups to help protect frontline healthcare workers from
the virus. These came amid the reported scarcity of personal protective equipment (PPEs) in hospitals.
Likewise, groups and individuals are seeking support to fund relief goods for the families that are in need
of food and personal hygiene kits, as major cities and provinces and provinces impose in their own community
quarantine protocols.
There are hundreds of more donations drives that are hundreds of more donations that are happening
across the Philippines today, signaling the strong revival of the Filipino culture of Bayanihan—only that with the
strict implementation of community quarantines and social distancing protocols, donations are facilitated through
mobile phones.
