Kapuso Actress Heart Evangelista recently announced on her official twitter account that she is giving away free tablets for those students who can’t afford to buy one.
The 35-year-old visual media artist and philanthropist attached a photo of a cherry mobile tablet on the social media platform.
It was not just identified clearly if it is the only model that she will donate. She revealed that they just need to send a direct message on her Instagram page and reminded everyone that they should not post private messages on her twitter since it will mess up the system of the people that she is assisting on the microblogging site.
Evangelista then stressed that she cannot assist everyone but she will help as much as she can.
With the current worldwide health crisis, schools will now hold online classes instead of the usual way of going to school. It is the country’s response to avoid physical contact and protect the health of the students since they are prone to the COVID-19 virus. This means that they don’t have a choice but will need to have a phone and internet access.
On a report by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), only 20% of state universities and colleges will be able to facilitate e-learning.
Recently, a series of photos of a child and his grandmother went viral when a netizen name John Mico Tan uploaded it on his Facebook.
