MANILA, Philippines -- Still stuck in their dormitories, student-athletes of Adamson University are making good use of their time by helping out in the school's relief efforts for frontliners in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.

The university is also helping vulnerable communities under the enhanced community quarantine.

Last Thursday, Adamson rolled out two of its buses to help transport the staff of the Makati Medical Center.

The first bus travels to and from MMC and Paliparan-Molino Road while the other has its lone pick-up point at the LRT Monumento Station.

"We are deploying two buses daily to transport the staff of Makati Medical Center. Wala kasing public transport right now. To help them get to work and home safe, we gave them our buses," said Adamson's representative to the Board of Managing Directors Fr. Aldrin Suan, CM.

The school also opened its doors to medical workers of the Philippine General Hospital, and the dormitory of its women's volleyball team is now the temporary home of some PGH staff members.

Suan said there are around 24 to 30 members of the PGH staff currently staying at the dorm.

"We are giving them accommodation and also food nila. Every week, a new group comes in kasi pag-duty nila, one-week yun; then they will rest for another week. So a new group comes in after that," he said.

Meanwhile, the school's student-athletes are continuing their own drive of distributing groceries and packed meals to various barangays in Manila, as well as people dislodged by the ECQ.

There are 62 student-athletes from the softball, women's basketball, pep squad, football, and baseball varsity teams still staying inside the Adamson campus.

"Tuloy-tuloy yun kasi within Manila, we are regularly helping out 160 families in Manila. Tapos may mga pocket communities din from Valenzuela, Paranaque, and neighboring communities that we give goods also," said Suan.

"Also, we give 500 packed meals daily to the homeless na dating nakatira in Luneta. They are now living along Taft Avenue, Kalaw, until the Manila City Hall. We give them 500 regular meals daily," he added.

Suan revealed that the student-athletes made the initiative to take charge of the packaging.

"Sila 'yung nagli-lead sa donation drive namin," he said.
