The Forbes Asia's 'Hero of Philanthropy' provided sleeping tents for the health workers, who are at the frontlines in battling coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Angel has gathered folding beds and pillows from donors, including her celebrity friends like Anne Curtis, Bea Alonzo, Paulo Avelino, Ria Atayde, Lorna Tolentino, Vice Ganda, Ryza Cenon, Angelica Panganiban, Pocholo Barretto, and Arlene Muhlach.

According to a certain Niña Aquino, the sleeping tents have a good ambiance where health workers can relax well after their duty. The makeshift quarters are "air-conditioned, sanitized, [and] very Instagrammable" as well as they were set up and styled by event planner La Belle Fete and florist Gideon Hermosa.

"'Eto 'yung lugar na sobrang makakapag-relax ang ating mga health workers after duty, from the ambiance sa labas dahil sa tanaw ang laguna lake. Ta's kung kailangan na nila magpahinga, 'eto naman ang tutulugan nila, air conditioned, sanitized at very Instagrammable ang set up (styled by: Gideon)," Niña shared on Facebook, accompanied by photos of the sleeping tents.

Niña also shared that there is a receptionist in each tent who will accommodate the health workers. And to ensure the receptionists' safety, Angel has ordered them to wear personal protective equipment (PPE).

"Ang mga receptionists na sasalubong sa ating health workers [ay] very accomodating and lively. At siyempre para na rin sa kanilang safety, siniguro ni Angel na sila ay naka complete PPEs," Niña said in the same post.

For further safety of the people involved, Angel and her team have decided to strictly implement physical distancing as the number of occupants per tent is limited to five. Furthermore, the sleeping tents are disinfected and cleaned every day.

For their security, on the other hand, there are assigned guards roving around the area for 24 hours.

Aside from setting up sleeping tents, Angel also donated hygiene kits and other goods for the COVID-19 frontliners.
