Gazini Ganados, groups launch drive to help protect seniors vs COVID-19

Let's help keep lolo & lola safe from #COVID19!

This was the appeal of reigning Miss Universe Philippines Gazini Ganados and other non-government organizations after they launched a fund-raising campaign that would help protect the grandparents and seniors against the dreaded COVID-19.

Ganados, whose advocacy as beauty queen focuses on care for the elderly, launched the project on Instagram.


"Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) confirmed cases in the Philippines have drastically increased in the last 2 weeks. Alarmingly, 70 percent of the reported deaths are senior citizens (60 years old and above). This means that older persons are becoming more susceptible to this virus and puts them in danger;

"With this, Coalition of Services of the Elderly, Inc. (COSE) & Project Duyan for Sustainable Geriatric Health & Wellness would like to ask for your financial & in-kind assistance to help provide personal protective equipment, health & hygiene materials, and ready to eat food for our lolos & lolas," Ganados said.

Love apparently still lives on for actress Claudine Barretto and her late boyfriend actor Rico Yan. On the actor's 15th death anniversary last March 29, Barretto posted on Instagram a series of items which she kept for years even after the death of Yan. On IG, the actress posted an image of a blanket which the actor used and a necklace of her former boyfriend. But Barretto said that she is ready to let go some of the things owned by Yan, as decided also by the actor's sister Tina Marie. "@tinamarieyan & I thought its time to let go of some of his things/clothes. We will be transferring in a few months & I've to get rid of so much things ko.
