The recent spike in COVID-19 cases in Metro Cebu, one of the most productive cities in the Philippines in terms of economy alarmed the entire region including Manila the country’s capital. Cebu was considered in 2020 as the second epicenter of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines until they have flattened the curve and controlled the virus to a minimal level for months until the surge again ballooned starting January 2021 up to the present.
Airfunding, a Japan-based crowdfunding platform recently distributed thousands of facemasks and face shields in selected cities and towns in Cebu to help the province control the spread of COVID-19 virus. As the province gets ready to re-open its economy and tourism, more and more people are expected to leave their homes frequently, and a possible surge in cases is strongly anticipated. Airfunding emphasizes that the use of facemask and face shields in public places among others are the most effective tools that prevent the spread of the virus.
We’re in this together and Airfunding goals since the pandemic started has been to try to help everyone who has been affected by this global pandemic by providing a platform where everyone can help everyone through donation-type crowdfunding.
