However, De Guzman pointed out that the LSIs at the harbor still need 50 hammocks. Those interested in donating may contact one EJ Miranda (@ejaymiranda) on Instagram. Miranda organized the effort while officers from the Philippine Coast Guard also assisted in the distribution of goods.

Miranda explained on Instagram that he decided to donate to the LSIs after seeing images of them taken by photojournalist Ezra Acayan. The pictures showed the individuals living together in shipping containers at the harbor due to Metro Manila being placed under modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) again.

President Rodrigo Duterte reimposed MECQ on Metro Manila, Laguna, Cavite, Rizal and Bulacan from Aug. 4 to 18. The decision came after medical societies across the country called for a “timeout” amid the surge of COVID-19 cases.
