“Today, we share with you another report on our office’s COVID-19 Response Operations, made possible by many of our fellow Filipinos.

Our list of initiatives has grown longer over the past five months, driven primarily by a natural tendency of filling the gaps we find. In every initiative we launched, a new need was discovered—each one just as pressing, affecting the everyday lives of our people. We knew we could not sit idly by, and that our actions must always geared towards the bigger goal of empowering those that we assist, as we march towards our hopes for a better normal.

It sure hasn’t been easy, given the limitations before us, but what has fueled our response operations during these difficult few months is the wellspring of generosity, of willingness, and of heart that our fellow Filipinos have shown. Trust is the currency that we work with, and amid the hardships, one thing is clear: that Filipinos will step up for each other, especially when it matters most.

We are grateful to witness this—our faith in the goodness of the Filipino affirmed again and again and again. Muli, maraming, maraming salamat po sa bawat isang nakikiisa sa pagsuporta sa ating magigiting na frontliners, at sa pag-akay sa ating mga kababayan na nangangailangan.

Tunay nga na tayo ang nagdadala ng pag-asa sa isa’t isa.”
