In just three days, Bela reportedly raised PhP3 million for the people affected by the enhanced community quarantine.

After setting up a GoGetFunding page, she already received numerous support to help provide food for those affected by the 30-day community quarantine.

Aside from donations, she also got the support of actor and restaurateur, Marvin.

On a Twitter post, Marvin expressed his interest to Bela's project by opening his kitchen for the food preparation.

"Hi Bela. I can open one of my kitchens, lets look for cooks or chefs who can volunteer. That way we can make more food.

"This an inexpensive approach so you can provide more food. Let me know."

Bela said that this program is created for Filipinos who won't be able to get their income during the COVID-19 quarantine period.

"Our favorite taho, dirty ice cream and bananacue vendors won't be able to secure enough money to guarantee food for their families at the end of the day for one month until our community quarantine is over."

Recently, Marvin posted tip to fellow restaurant owners about not wasting their stocks by donating these tofrontliners in hospitals or giving to their employees.
