Filipinos show ‘Bayanihan Spirit’ amid Taal Eruption

After Taal Volcano erupted on Sunday, January 12, some Filipinos went out of their way to help victims in Batangas and neighboring towns as ash falls continues.

Street vendors in Santo Tomas, Batangas decided to give up a day of their income to give free food to evacuees at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.

Amid reports of face masks being currently sold at extremely high price, there are some who chose to give instead to gain. Like in Lipa, Batangas, a seamstress named Rosalina Montuano made a reusable face masks to distribute to those people residing there.
