Buddhist volunteers distribute rice to ECQ-affected San Juan residents

Buddhist volunteers on Wednesday joined efforts to help residents affected by enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) implemented to address the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a video posted by Super Radyo dzBB's Mark Makalalad on Twitter, the volunteers can be seen distributing sacks of rice to residents of Barangay Sta. Lucia in San Juan City.

As part of the National Capital Region, San Juan City will be under ECQ until May 15.

Under ECQ, stay-at-home rules are implemented, mass transportation is suspended, and non-essential businesses are closed to discourage people from going out except for food, banking, and medical runs.  --KBK, GMA News
