A.
It is truly heart-warming to see that many Filipinos, despite their limited movement and
resources, have found ways to help other Filipinos in battling the pandemic. Individuals
and groups have expressed empathy and gratitude to various affected sectors, especially
among healthcare workers who are the most exposed to the virus. According to the DOH,
more than 1,000 healthcare workers have been infected with the pathogen. This prompted
the locals to donate personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect them as they fight
every day to save lives.

continent was initially under the colonial rule for a very long time except Japan. Many
nations like India, China, Pakistan and Afghanistan have suffered the brunt of oppressive
colonial rule by Europeans and Americans for a very long period of time.

Answers
Answer:
As COVID-19 strikes the Philippine nation, people rise together to counter it. At the forefront of the fight against the virus are our healthcare workers and various frontliners. Daily, they face the hazard of infection with their mantra: “We go to work for you. Please stay at home for us.”
Healthcare workers who directly work with COVID-positive patients are outnumbered; and due to their first-hand exposure, some staff require quarantine themselves - reducing their numbers. Another big challenge for frontliners is the lack of medical supplies including Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs).
Community quarantine and social distancing has not hindered our kababayans in looking for ways to help with the battle. Different groups, individuals, classmates, colleagues - groups big and small - have come together, despite limited resources and movement. Showing everyone that we are all #InThisTogether.
Asia 21 Young Leaders, Darwin Mariano and Harvey Keh, used their platform, Ticket2Me – The Kaya Natin! Movement in coordination with the Office of the Vice President to help raise funds in order to purchase PPEs, other medical supplies, and care/food packs needed by our health workers and frontliners.
“Each PPE Daily Set Ticket consists of one N95 mask, one gown, two sets of gloves, two pieces of head covers, two sets of shoe covers and one pair of goggles. This is only good for one (1) health worker. Each Food and Care Pack Ticket will help one health worker/frontliner per day.
All donors will receive an electronic ticket from our ticketing platform as proof of donation to the Kaya Natin! Movement. Ticket2Me has waived its service fees for this campaign but third-party payment gateway service fees will apply. These service fees are charged by the system's various payment partners including: the credit card processing bank, PayPal, GCash, 7-Eleven, MLhuillier, Cebuana Lhuillier or ECPay.
To observe social distancing, online donations are coursed through our #AngatBuhay partner Kaya Natin!”
As of March 24, 2020, The Kaya Natin! Movement has reached PhP28,868,752.79 and have already distributed 23,475 daily sets of PPEs to 1,565 workers.
Ticket2Me is not the only platform and group reaching out to help our frontliners and our most at risk. Netizens have come together to compile organizations seeking donations and assistance through a collaborative spreadsheet HOW TO HELP OUT DURING COVID-19 CRISIS. The list includes drives for frontliners, our affected daily wage earners, homes for the elderly, and our most at risk.
