Amid the implementation of the Luzon-lockdown to contain the spread of the COVID-19, Bea Alonzo has been staying at home like many Filipinos. However, Alonzo revealed that she is unable to spend time with her family during this difficult time. In an interview on Sunday, Alonzo said she was trapped within Metro Manila when the government declared the community quarantine which restricts among others travels by land, sea or air. “Sa totoo lang, naabutan kasi ako ng lockdown dito sa Metro Manila. Buong pamilya ko nasa Zambales. Hindi ko rin maiwasan hindi mag-alala. Araw-araw ko silang tinatawagan. Buti na lang may internet na at video call. Malaking tulong iyon. May mga kasama naman po ako dito sa bahay,” she said. When asked what she has been up to while under quarantine, she said: “Sa totoo lang, nahihirapan ako kasi sanay tayong laging nasa labas at nagte-taping. Siguro gumagawa lang ako ng routine araw-araw. Nag-e-exercise ako at nagluluto dahil hilig ko rin magluto.” Meanwhile, Alonzo also took the opportunity to urge everyone with extra funds to donate and help those badly affected by the COVID-19 crisis. “Karamihan po sa ating mga kapamilya ay nawalan po ng hanapbuhay at hindi nila maiwasan hindi mag-alala kung saan nila kukunin ang kanilang pangangailangan kagaya po ng pagkain, tubig at pangrenta at marami pa pong iba,” she said. “Kaya dumudulog po ang Pantawid ng Pag-ibig sa inyong mga puso sa kahit na magkano pong donasyon ninyo, malaking tulong na po ito para makalikom po ng pera para makabili ng pang-araw araw nilang pangangailangan,” she added. According to Alonzo, the Filipino people have been through a lot and she believes the nation could survive this pandemic if everyone would help each other. “Ang dami na nating hinarap na krisis dati, suliranin at nalagpasan natin ito ng magkakasama. Kagaya rin po ito noon. Sa tingin ko, ganyan po talaga ang magkakapamilya, talagang magtutulungan hangga’t makakaya,” she said. In the end, Alonzo encouraged her fellow countrymen to “fight the coronavirus with love and kindness.”
