Nakisabay na si kuya guard samin, nakita namin siya nakaupo sa kanto, pagod na pagod na, gutom pa. Nung tinawag namin, iika ika…kanina pa pala siya naglalakad…enjoy your pabaon mula sa Twitter at IG fam, kuya. pic.twitter.com/WcXvIU2OM6

Bela is one of many celebrities who have mobilized to help the poor after a lockdown on Luzon.
President Rodrigo Duterte announced Tuesday that he was placing the country in a state of calamity for 6 months because of the threat of the novel coronavirus. The entire Luzon is on lockdown, as part of the national government’s strategy to minimize its spread. The “enchanced community quarantine” over Luzon stays in place until April 12.
Bela began the drive with a tweet on March 15, hours before a Metro Manila “enhanced community quarantine” began. She went on to raise over P3 million even as the quarantine expanded to the whole of Luzon. – Rappler.com
