Online groceries to check out when you can't leave your house

The recent implementation of community quarantine in Metro Manila to help contain the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused panic among Filipinos, who then swarmed grocery stores to stock up on goods.

But there's no need to panic. Apart from the government saying the movement of goods to and from Metro Manila will not be affected by the quarantine, groceries in malls have remained opened.

Besides, there are online grocery stories that will deliver goods right to your doorstep. Allow us to list them below
