BAYANIHAN = PAGTUTULUNGAN . . Siguro marami na rin satin ang nakalimot nitong salitang ito. Sa kultura natin, ang bayanihan ay ang pagtutulungan ng mga magkakapitbahay o baranggay sa pagbubuhat ng kubo ng isa para ilipat ito. Everyone in the community shares the burden for the benefit of one. Ngayon nakalimutan na ata natin kung paano to. Take part in this fight! Ang pinakamaliit na contribution ay ang manatili sa bahay. If you can do more, pls do! Lalo na yung malalaking kumpanya! Kakayanin natin to basta tulungan tayo! Wala na munang pagpupuna. Stop negativity. Punuan ang pagkukulang. . Kaya ngayong araw na ito gusto kong magpasalamat na narinig ko ang salitang ito mula sa ating Presidente. Gusto kong pasalamatan lahat ng frontliners! Sa lahat ng malalaking kumpanya na nagpapaabot ng tulong at konsiderasyon sa ating mga kababayan! Salamat sa inyong lahat na gumagawa ng kahit maliit na paraan para malabanan natin ang sakit na ito. . . #gratefulmondays

"If you can do more, pls do! Lalo na yung malalaking kumpanya!" she added.

She called on Filipinos to stop spreading negativity and instead give a helping hand when you can.

"Kakayanin natin to basta tulungan tayo!" she said. "Punuan ang pagkukulang."

LJ also thanked President Rodrigo Duterte, the frontliners, and the companies who have given aid and consideration to the citizens.

Duterte has placed the entire Luzon under enhanced community quarantine. Mass public transport has been suspended and people may only go out of their homes to buy food and medicine.

As of Wednesday, the Philippines has 193 confirmed cases of COVID-19. Seven have recovered and 14 have died. --Jannielyn Bigtas/MGP, GMA News
