Malacañang said its doors are always open to those who want to help out their kababayan (fellowmen), especially those who are affected by the COVID-19 lockdown.
Presidential spokesman Harry Roque made the statement after GMA host Willie Revillame on Friday donated P5 million for the jeepney drivers who were displaced by the community quarantine and P100,000 each to the families of the four Filipinos who died in the blast in Lebanon.
“We are grateful for people like Willie Revillame, who so generously share their blessings with their fellow Filipinos,” he said. In his presser on Friday, Roque welcomed Revillame’s donation and assured the TV personality that his donation of P5 million for the jeepney drivers will be turned over to the Department of Social Welfare and Development .
