In an effort to feed the poor people especially the homeless affected by the community quarantine implemented in Metro Manila from March 15 to April 14. Actress Bela Padilla on Sunday launched an online fund-raising campaign, setting the target at P1-million.
The enhanced community quarantine has forced people to stay at home due to the rapid spreading of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country.
On Twitter, the Kapamilya actress ears her concerns for the street vendors who survive only on their daily wage and how she can be able to extend help for their basic needs.
"How do the taho, sampaguita, chips and basahan vendors we see on EDSA who probably sold close to nothing today eat tonight. And tomorrow? And the whole month? Is there anyone I can go to, to talk about this and hopefully help out? :).” Padilla said in a Twitter post.
