Kapuso couple Dianne Medina and Rodjun Cruz related that they joined BAYANIHAN PH's, a group of young active citizens responding to the needs of frontliners and underprivileged communities, amid the COVID-19 crisis.

Dianne posted a series of photos of their relief efforts on Instagram and asked netizens to take part in their donation drive, too.

“Ever since this crisis hit us, I really wanted to help in my own little way. Since I am pregnant, I am not allowed to go outside.

“The reason why I'm online selling items is because this the only way I can help in my own little way -- to help the workers, sewers, delivery drivers, and their families who don't have work.

“This is my way of helping them sell/ promote their products online to earn extra money. And also all the extra money I earn goes to our foundation, BAYANIHAN Ph," she said.

The actress-host also posted the details on how they can send their donations.

“I really don't want to post this but this is the only way I can reach out and ask a little help if you can donate/share any of your blessings! If you want to help/volunteer. Look for my sister Kat Medina, 09278336603,” she added.

Prior to this, the couple have stepped up to promote reliable and waterproof personal protective suits (PPE) made by local residents.

The effort aims to help sewers and delivery truck drivers' families earn a proper living amid the enhanced community quarantine brought about by the coronavirus disease.
