Angel Locsin and Anne Curtis' 'Shop and Share' starts to distribute COVID-19 test kits

MANILA, Philippines — The fundraising initiative of Kapamilya stars Angel Locsin and Anne Curtis for COVID-19 mass testing is beginning to bear fruit.

The benefit project "Shop and Share," which was relaunched at the beginning of June to the tune of P700,000 on just its opening day, auctions off celebrities' "pre-loved" items to help make COVID-19 testing possible for the underprivileged.

“We’ve officially begun! Because of your overwhelming support we were able to provide 600 COVID-19 test kits for some of our stranded kababayans that reached out to us,” read a Saturday morning post on the official Shop and Share page.

The post contained photos of stranded Albayanos benefitting from rapid testing kits, as well as a thank-you-note addressed to Angel.
