“Good news! Our fundraiser #ParaMayBukas has already reached its 600,000PHP goal but because of your generosity and support we ended our fundraiser with more— 651,952.22PHP!!!” Julia wrote.  

“My sisters Dani, Claudia, and I want to thank everyone who took part on this mission. This was a success because of all your support and help. We will continue to post updates and progress. Again, thank you very much,” she added.

Meanwhile, Claudia said that half of the funds will be used to build an emergency quarantine facility, which is curently under construction.

The emergency quarantine facility, said Julia, aims to lessen the burden of overcrowding in hospitals due to the rise of COVID-19 patients in the country.

“P350,000 will go to the building of the Emergency Quarantine Facility, which is currently on going right now. And the P301,952.22 will go to the workforce for their meals and PPEs. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you so much to everyone who donated! God bless you all!” Claudia wrote.
