Angel Locsin has been at the forefront of helping the public fight COVID-19 with her selfless initiatives that have garnered praise.
Being a concerned citizen, she penned a letter to the government through her Instagram stories.
She addressed the letter to “whom it may concern,” saying: “Make sure you have plans for the many workers and business owners who lost their income.”
“Ang daming time pag-initan ang ABS, i-prioritize pa ang renaming ng airport, anti-terrorist bill, pero ang kailangang marinig ay ang plano tungkol sa Covid at frontliners,” she said.
Locsin was basically talking about the hearings on the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN, the latest House proposal to rename the Ninoy Aquino International Airport to Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Pilipinas, and the anti-terror bill which has been the subject of controversy and nationwide protests.
“Plano sa edukasyon para sa mahihirap na walang access sa internet o magtuturo sa bahay, balik-probinsya, OFWs na stranded sa ibang bansa, kabuhayan ng nawalan ng trabaho.
“Paano na ang tradisyunal na jeepney drivers? Paano ang mga senior citizens? At sa kung anong kakaharapin ng masang Pilipino pagkatapos ng pandemya?” Locsin wrote.
She then identified her self as a taxpayer, ending the letter.
Her COVID-19 related efforts and campaigns continue as the country remains struggling in the face of the pandemic.
The government praised her for spearheading #UniTentWeStandPH which gave coronavirus patients more room since health institutions were and are always packed.
Her latest initiative is the Shop & Share which seeks to purchase test kits for the poor. Testing commenced late in June.
