Jason Chua has vowed to stay open for the many that now depend on him.
“Yes, we are losing, we are not exactly taking salary for a few months already, but we still do maybe 10 to 25 orders per day for our business side, so that we can still sustain ourselves throughout this period of time,” said Chua. Authorities have also warned that unemployment will likely rise due to these strict containment measures and an uncertain economic outlook.
Chua said the foundation refuses to accept donations since they believe it “isn’t right” for people to give during current times of economic hardship, but there have been a few “forceful” donors of cash, oil and rice.
