Filipinos today face a great challenge. Rather than allowing it to handicap us, we must all choose to rise to the occasion and take the heroic step forward.

I was scared to go out but reason told me that I had to do something. I couldn't allow this moment to just pass by without doing anything. I knew I could do something. I connected with my fellow volunteers Alee, Ching, and Emily. We decided to divide the tasks. The couple Alee and Ching were in charge of making face shields. Emily, with her connections with the Chineseme with outsourcing raw materials. I was in charge of the fundraising and delivery.

Volunteerism isn’t new to our team. We are members of non-profit organizations and advocates for more working opportunities for people with determination and enhancement of leadership and communication skills.
