MANILA, Philippines, April 13, 2020 – Just like everyone else, social media stars, vloggers, musicians, artists, and performers find ways to cope during these trying times. Most of them raise funds to help frontline heroes in the battle against the pandemic. For some, the digital wave becomes a platform to help boost productivity from home.
Boosting the immune system
YouTuber and fitness enthusiast Wil Dasovich recently held a digital fitness campaign to help people boost their immune system.
For Dasovich, exercising is just one of the many ways to improve productivity at home, especially during the quarantine period. “In a time of crisis, how we respond to situations is what defines us,” Dasovich said.

Kitchen innovation
A rising Instagram star and chef, Edward Bugia had a live Facebook kitchen experiment as he turned a simple pancit canton into Pad Thai.
While he cooked his innovative pancit canton, Bugia engaged with his audience as he promised more live cooking sessions for them. Bugia finished his delicious Pancit Canton-turned-Shrimp Pad Thai with a wonderful plating as he enjoyed the taste of Thailand with his beautiful wife Trixie.

PLDT-Smart powers up work-from-home productivity
Last March 16, the government placed the entire Luzon on lockdown hoping to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. Since then, Filipinos have to quickly adapt to a new lifestyle and work routine — one that requires them to live digital.
To ensure a seamless work and study from home arrangement, PLDT provided a speed boost for Fibr subscribers in which the minimum speed is 25 Mpbs until April 30, 2020. This is applicable to residents of Metro Manila and parts of Greater Manila including Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal.
PLDT and Smart also continuously provides data connectivity, technical support, and communication aid to various frontline health workers and government response teams. Some beneficiaries include the Philippine General Hospital, Research Institute for Tropical Research and several local government units in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
