“I’ve been looking for ways and places to help out since the [pandemic] began, [I’m] grateful for the opportunity to lend a hand,” Verzosa said. “If we could only hand them out ourselves, we would!”
“To the doctors, nurses, lab technicians, security guards, all the cleaners and maintenance [personnel], and to all those who are still working today – from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for all [your] service!” she added.
Cuenca also uploaded photos of their gesture on his own Instagram page. Along with thanking them for being on duty amid the crisis, he added, “Kayo and tunay na mga bayani (You are the real heroes).”
