Seasoned actress and Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit star Mylene Dizon shared how the bayanihan in their community in Silang, Cavite started during the enhanced community quarantine.

In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com through Zoom, Mylene admitted that they are doing favors to each other to avoid the hassle of driving to supermarkets.

She explained, “Hindi naman siya sinasadya na maging bayanihan. It's just more of naisip mo lang na, dati kasi kapag may kailangan ka, ang bilis pumunta sa tindahan at bilhin mo kaagad.

"Ngayon, parang, iisipin mo, 'Gusto ko bang lumabas?' Do I want to go through that whole process of putting on two layers of clothes, tapos naka-mask ka, tapos lahat ng bagay nakaka-praning kasi baka may mahawakan ka tapos mukha mo kasi inaayos mo 'yung mukha mo.

“So it's very tiring, 'di ba? Na masyadong kang maingat.

“Do you really want to do that just because, kulang ka sa itlog? 'Yung niluluto mo e, bitin ng tatlong itlog o wala kang mantika?”

Mylene added that it started when someone in their chat group asked what time the grocery will open.

“So doon sa Viber group naming magkakapitbahay, napag-isipan lang na 'pag may nagbanggit na, 'Punta ko mamaya ng grocery. Anong oras magbubukas 'yung grocery?' Mylene continued.

“Tapos ikaw naman, 'Pupunta ka ng grocery? Uy, pabili naman ako ng mantika, o.' Naging ganon.

“Hanggang may nagsabi na bakit hindi na lang nating gawing practice 'to? 'Di ba?

“Kung pupunta ka na rin naman talaga sa palengke dahil kulang ka na ng maraming supplies, mag-announce ka sa Viber group.

“Tapos kung sino man may kailangan, puwede makibakas ng pabili, tapos babayaran mo na lang through online transaction.”

Mylene also noted that their bayanihan is give-and-take and you should also go to the grocery sometimes.

“Hindi naman puwede na ikaw at ikaw lang 'yung hihingi ng pabor sa mga kapitbahay mo,” Mylene explained.

“Minsan din naman, ikaw 'yung mag-volunteer na ikaw ang tatakbo sa bayan at kung sino ang gustong makibaka, sasabihin nila.”
