There’s a “virus” that is spreading rapidly in communities – one that does not need a vaccine nor a cure.

As the Philippines, just like the rest of the world, continues to grapple with the coronavirus disease pandemic, “Community Pantry” has also been “infecting” more and more people as days go by – prompting them to replicate the initiative which first started by Ana Patricia Non along Maginhawa Street in Quezon City.

The Alliance of Concerned Teachers and the Quezon City Public School Teachers Association joined hands and replicated the grass-roots initiative by putting up the “Tulong-Guro Community Pantries” notwithstanding the challenges that they experience themselves. “We coordinated through different Quezon City school faculty presidents, I asked who were willing to volunteer the spaces in front of their homes to be location of the pantry,” Navales said in a mix of English and Filipino.

With the implementation of distance learning this school year, Navales is teaching his students under printed or digital modular modalities. “We follow an MWF [Monday-Wednesday-Friday] schedule after our online classes which start from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m,” he explained.
