MANILA - Sen. Sonny Angara, who tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019 , has donated his salary to fund efforts to curb the spread of the contagious disease."Actually, dinonate ko na wala lang PR ," the senator said in response to a netizen who asked politicians to donate their salaries to help boost the country's fight against the coronavirus.In a separate message to ABS-CBN News, Angara said he donated "at least 2 months" worth of his salary.
Portions of Angara's salary were donated to the Philippine General Hospital and a coronvirus-related fundraising project of Xavier School, the senator's alma mater. According to the Term of Office and Privileges in the Senate website, a senator earns P204,000 a month, based on Section 17, Article XVIII of the Constitution.
Angara's family and household helpers were earlier isolated to curb the possible spread of the virus to their community.
Is that enough to cover basic goods people can’t afford because of TRAIN
getwell po sonnyangara sana tularan kyo ng ibang Senator like Kiko, Risa, Grace di ko po sinabi na magpositive din sila sa virus sana tularan kayo sa pagtulong sa kapwa hindi puro puna sa govt. Godbless po! ❤🙏

Thank you, Sen Angara. Sana ay tuluyan ang iyong paggaling upang mas marami ka pang matulungan. 🙏
Idol ko yan
Nice, what a good example! Kahit may sakit, tuloy tuloy pa din ang tulong. Salamat po, Sen Sonny Angara.
Those who can should lead the way. First news about this was mid-March thru a reply to netizen, had no intention to make public and didn't have to be told to begin the bayanihan spirit
Such a good act specially from someone who is going through a tough timeb. Kudos, Sen! Pagaling ka po 🙏🏼
