Despite the pandemic, the rovers of Bulacan still pursued to help the Bulaceños as part of their duty to the country and its citizens. The scouts ensured to follow the protocols anchored by the IATF — everyone is required to wear face mask and face shields, and observe proper social distancing. They also secure the recipients to follow the protocols to avoid possible viral transmission. “We can say that our project is successful. The pandemic does not hinder us to achieve our aim,” Gravado said. Community pantry initiatives have been prevalent in the Philippines since Ana Patricia Non from Quezon City started Maginhawa Community Pantry as an aide to those who are less in life.The concept of community pantry is simple, donate only what you can and take only what you need.
