MANILA, Philippines—Amid the worsening COVID-19 pandemic, a small business owner in Diliman, Quezon City, set up a shared pantry in hopes of helping her community power up through these tough times.
Ana Patricia Non shared Wednesday afternoon on Facebook her initiative called “Maginhawa Community Pantry,” which involved setting up a bamboo cart containing food and other essential goods, along with a reminder to “give what you can and take what you need.”
“Di nito masasagot ang root cause ng kagutuman pero okay na ring pantawid-gutom sa mga nangangailangan. Mahirap magtrabaho, mag-aral at lumaban habang kumakalam ang tiyan,” the 26-year-old wrote in her caption.
