According to Rocco, a navy reservist, this is their way to empathize with their fellow kababayans who do not have enough money to buy essential commodities due to loss of jobs imposed by the enhanced community quarantine.

"Nagtitipid tayong lahat para tumagal ang budget natin pambili ng makakain, pero marami sa mga kababayan natin ay wala ng pambili ng kahit ano," Rocco said in an Instagram post.

The Descendants of the Sun actor added that any kind of donation is greatly welcomed, just send a direct message to him on his official social media accounts for the details.

"Your donations, big or small, will go a long way in helping our fellow citizens gain strength and hope. Tulong tulong tayo dito," he said.

"For all who wish to help and donate, pls DM me for details."

As of April 24, more than two million workers nationwide have lost their jobs due to the implementation of COVID-19 measures, according to a statement by the Department of Labor and Employment on April 26.
