Other big-name personalities are also helping those affected.
Maine Mendoza is donating 1,000 pesos constantly to homes so they can buy themselves necessary resources. Those workers who don’t make much such as street/market vendors, construction workers, street sweepers, and labanderas will be given additional financial support, as long as they show an ID.
