MANILA — Amid the coronavirus lockdown that has cost many Filipinos their livelihood, actor Dingdong Dantes is helping connect job seekers to work-from-home opportunities through his foundation.

Over the weekend, the former National Youth Commission head announced a collaboration among his advoacy group Yes Pinoy, online job portals, and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).

On Twitter, Dantes wrote: "Gusto mo ba ng trabaho habang naka-home quarantine? May online jobs para sa freelancers, sa mga naghahanap ng alternative work, at sa K-12/HS grads. May home-based jobs din na 'no experience needed' at interview na pwedeng sa phone lang! Ayos!"

Dantes linked to a page listing the jobs.

Yes Pinoy's statement said it supports the campaign, dubbed #SanaOL, to "help our kababayans who lost their livehood because of the COVID-19 crisis."

The Luzon-wide lockdown has forced most business establishments to close, with the exception of those providing basic necessities including food and medicine.

The labor department has since distributed one-time P5,000 financial assistance to workers with reduced or no income due to the pandemic.
