Actres Angel Locsin invited her friends and fellow artists to participate in a fund-raising project that she is planning to do to help conduct mass testing for the poor. Angel is reacting to the report that the government is not ready to do mass testing to the general public.
The idea of Angel is to launch “Shop and Share”, the same project they had during Typhoon Ondoy where artists come together and make their personal items available for sale. The proceeds then will be used to support mass testing.

Here is the full post of Angel:
“To our friends and fellow artists,
Hi. It’s been a while since we’ve done this — way back in 2009 in fact when we first put up Shop and Share to help those who were affected by Typhoon Ondoy. We had actors, singers and even basketball players donate personal items from designer bags, clothes, jerseys, jewelry, etc., and we auctioned them off on ebay, with all the proceeds going to the Philippine Red Cross.
And, now, we humbly reach out again.
These are hard times, truly frightening times for the Filipino people, especially with corona virus cases still on the rise.
Many have been doing their part in trying to give hope or just to make each day easier for those who are in need. And the hard truth is they will remain in need as Covid-19 remains the invisible enemy amongst us changing our lives and sadly disrupting livelihoods.
We would like to revisit the idea of artists coming together and helping those who need it the most. This time, with the funds we raise, we would like to purchase test kits and allow testing opportunities for the poorer sectors in the hopes of helping out in the efforts to provide mass testing in the country.
Yes, in support of mass testing. Because in this way we can make a higher impact, by pushing the TEST-TRACE-ISOLATE/TREAT formula that is the only proven way to defeat the virus.
If you are keen please do let us know.
We do hope you can join us as we all work together to help flatten the curve in the Philippines in our little way.
God Bless You,
Team Shop & Share.”
