#Bayanihan. An online community began where people can sell, donate, or lend, and buy or borrow bicycles to help the COVID-19 frontliners get to work after President Rodrigo Duterte suspended public transportations under the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine.

President Duterte announced that the entire Luzon would be under an enhanced community quarantine on Monday, March 16, restricting travel and mobility. And on March 17, a group of volunteers formed Life Cycles PH to help healthcare workers and other service people to get to work and return home safely and efficiently.

The online community, led by Keisha Aluna Mayuga, now has at least 400 members who can either sell, donate, or lend their bikes to other group members who wish to buy or borrow to help them get to work. What earns more praises for this initiative is that people operate on an honesty system where they are only asked to register and keep track of their request or offer online.

While this initiative is already in place, thanks to the Pinoys' true spirit of bayanihan and volunteerism, Life Cycles PH broadens its efforts by looking at partner organizations and institutions.

According to a letter presented to GMANetwork.com, the group “aims to provide the platform and mechanisms for fundraising and sourcing of bicycles for use of workers in the essential service industries (ESI) during the Enhanced Community Quarantine period.”
