Fashion Designer Answers Leni Robredo Call For More PPE in Fight Against COVID-19
LENI ROBREDO – A well-known fashion designer team up with Vice President Leni Robredo’s office to help produce more personal protective equipment for the healthcare workers.
Following a previous article, the office of Vice President Leni Robredo announced that they have collected 17 million pesos to buy personal protective equipment (PPE) for the healthcare workers. The politician said the protective gear will last for 15 days for the 2,400 frontliners.
On March 29, Robredo calls on fashion designers in the country to help design PPE for the frontliners. The government and health officials had difficulty in producing protective gear for the doctors and nurses. “The pattern is for everyone’s consumption. We will be producing in bulk but you can all have your local mananahis make them for your own health frontliners, specially those in the provinces,” Robredo wrote.
Fashion designer Mich Dulce answered to Leni Robredo’s call to help create more PPEs for healthcare workers. The politician detailed the process they went through on their Facebook Page.
“It took us more than 48 hours of going back and forth and this afternoon, finally, our prototype has been approved!!! The one approved was made by Joey Socco using Tafetta Silver Back Lining.”
“The pattern is for everyone’s consumption. We will be producing in bulk but you can all have your local mananahis make them for your own health frontliners, specially those in the provinces,” it wrote.
In a previous article, actress Angel Locsin helped designer Michael Leyva in distributing the PPEs he created for the frontliners. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte hailed the doctors and frontliners who died due to coronavirus as heroes.
