MANILA — Marvin Agustin has asked his fellow restaurant owners to donate meals to hospitals or to their own employees instead of letting their food stock go to waste.

The actor, who runs a number of chains across the country, including SumoSam and Johnny Chow, made the appeal on Twitter this Tuesday, the same day the whole of Luzon was placed under a lockdown due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) spread, forcing many restaurants to halt operations.

He wrote: “To those restaurants worried about their stocks na baka masira during this enhanced community quarantine, you can cook and donate to hospitals or your employees. Do it now bago wala makinabang.”

Under the enhanced quarantine, only establishments providing basic necessities, such as those related to food and medicine production, are allowed to operate or remain open.

These are public markets, supermarkets, groceries, convenience stores, hospitals, medical clinics, pharmacies and drug stores, food preparation and delivery services, gasoline stations, funeral and interment services, water-refilling stations, and manufacturing and processing plants of basic food products and medicines.

Mass transportation has also been suspended.

Agustin has been one of the many celebrities who have been reminding their followers to strictly follow the orders of the government. He said that the quarantine is in place to save lives.

He also has been giving updates on his condition, given that he recently recovered from a high fever — one of the symptoms of the coronavirus. He said that he’s not sure if he has the virus, but he has taken the precaution of practicing social distancing, especially from his mother who has cancer.
