Love Plus Charity Foundation Gives Back by Helping Filipinos In Need During the Pandemic

As the popular saying goes, Love really conquers all! This was I think the mantra of the famed LOVE PLUS CHARITY FOUNDATION when they braved the pandemic and the fear of coronavirus infections to donate massive amounts of food, medical equipment, cash and other essential necessities in Paranaque City recently. Actually, since the pandemic started, they already conducted numerous outreach programs in different parts of the country with the backing of big Chinese companies and the local Chinese community.

These heartwarming and noble causes by the foundation and the Chinese in general clearly communicate that they are here for the Filipinos through thick and thin, pandemic or without. These are qualities that embody the main mission of the foundation, which is to spread LOVE and cheer to our dear Filipino brothers. Common Table PR was there to witness this uplifting activity. Below is the rundown of the event complete with the cheerful photos that clearly documented the love spread by the foundation on that fine, sunny day.

Manila, Philippines - Love Plus Charity Foundation held their community outreach program on October 28, 2020 at Brgy. Punta, Paranaque City with Co-Founder William Chen and Miss Philippines Earth 2019 Janelle Tee to provide aid to the families who were greatly affected by the pandemic. Many of the world’s greatest movements were started by community outreach projects and volunteering brings families and friends, neighbors, and strangers together. 

Love Plus Charity Foundation, an organization founded by Chinese national, Hu Sun, started to provide aid in their own little ways by means of food delivery for front liners on different checkpoints, across several cities back in March when the government imposed city lockdowns in the country. The organization wanted to reach remote areas that were not focused on by mainstream media – which draw attention from several individuals and organizations, that lead to the growth of donation to the foundation.

“We are not brothers by blood, but we think of Filipinos as a part of our family because they welcomed us with open arms. I think it’s time for us to return the favor and provide assistance in any way we can because that’s what a family does. They help each other get through the rough times.”, said Hu Sun. 

When the Chinese Medical Team first arrived in the country to provide their expertise in combatting the deadly virus, Love Plus Charity Foundation spearheaded the translation between them and local health care officials to make sure no message is lost during translation. With over 50 individuals going hand in hand to donate food, medical equipment, and other necessary items to combat the corona virus, Love Plus Charity Foundation doubled their efforts especially on the months of April and May when they visited major hospitals in NCR, including Lung Center of the Philippines, RITM, Jose Abad Santos General Hospital, Bulacan Medical Center and so much more. Love Plus Charity Foundation was also one of the first organizations to provide aid in terms of basic necessities such as food and water when the Pandacan Church caught fire back in July.

As of August 1, 2020, a combination of 487 Chinese organizations and individuals have donated to Love Plus Charity Foundation, garnering a total of Php 6,000,000 in cash, 3,144 boxes of surgical masks, 1,340 sets of PPE, 2,000 sets of rapid test kits, baby essentials like formula milk and diaper, in addition to food donations such as rice, bread, instant noodles, canned goods, fruits and vegetables, enough to feed an entire community.

 

When the government implemented another lockdown on August 4, Love Plus Charity Foundation did not waste any time to lend another helping hand to Filipinos, despite of challenges such as distance and heavy rains.

“We believe that in times like these, there is no nationality, but only unity. The Philippines has been our home and we felt like it was our responsibility to help anyone in need – no matter the distance and race, as we need to rise up in the middle of this pandemic.”, said Hu Sun.

Love Plus Charity Foundation will continue its mission to provide aid for Filipinos across the country. The organization hopes that despite the effects of the pandemic, humanity will still find the strength to recover.
