Donations poured in for Hospicio de San Jose, a shelter in Manila for homeless children and senior citizens, after they released an appeal on social media.
In a Facebook post by the Archdiocesan Shrine of Santo Niño de Tondo on Thursday noon (April 28), the Sisters and Daughters of Charity appealed for donations as they were running out of food and other necessities.
This as 23 of its staff and clients tested positive for COVID-19. At least one elderly client has died of the disease.
“They are running out of food because nobody is donating to them and the sisters are worried about the children and elders. They are appealing to your kind generosity,” the post read.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) Ginebra San Miguel recently held the “Ginebra Ako Awards Year 3: Pagkakaisa sa Gitna ng Pandemya” in a virtual awarding ceremony streamed via Ginebra San Miguel s official Facebook page.
Since 2018, the Ginebra Ako Awards has been honoring the hero in every Filipino, and for this year, the award-giving body salutes the COVID-19 heroes in three categories: “Pilipino Ako Award,” individual or organization that emphasized the value of unity in advancing their causes; “Matapang Ako Award,” person or group who went beyond their call of duty in uniting their fellowmen for a common purpose; and “Lalaban Ako Award,” person or institution that used their talent and exemplified excellence in their craft to help those in need.
