The social video sharing app TikTok is donating $1 million to the Philippines' General Hospital Medical Foundation Inc. (PGHMFI). The donation came as the Philippines continues to fight the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
PGH is one of the referral centers for COVID-19 patients in the country.
TikTok's donations to PGHFMI will secure personal protective gear and equipment supplies and relief to PGH's fronliners.
“TikTok could attest to the Filipino resilience. We have witnessed how the Filipino community managed to look out for each other and bring a smile or deliver a message of hope despite the gravity of the situation. We are grateful that TikTok has been part of Filipinos’ everyday lives. We hope that this donation will give our medical frontliners the best equipment and supplies that will lead to the healing of the Philippines. From the bottom of our hearts, maraming salamat Pinoy community, and salamat, frontliners!,” shared Helena Lersch, Global Public Policy Director, TikTok.
PGHMFI is a non-profit organization and a major partner of the Philippine General Hospital (PGH).
TikTok community has also showed all out support for all the fronliners by sharing #salamatfrontliners campaign, where it garnered over 29,500K videos and more than 56 million video views as of April 8.
