Ana Patricia Non, the founder of the Maginhawa

Community Pantry in Quezon City was hailed as one of
the “real-life heroes” of the pandemic.

On April 14, 2021, 15 months after the first lockdown,

she had set up a bamboo cart packed with vegetables
and food products on Maginhawa Street in Quezon
City which she called a “community pantry.” Through
this, the poor who needed food could get some for
free. In order for the simple act to carry on and
motivate bayanihan, she wrote in a cardboard:

Pilipino sa government. So kailangan talaga
gumawa ng action 'yong private citizen lalo na
kung may means."

 Angat Buhay Foundation

According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and

Management Council (NDRRMC), Paeng caused landslides and
flash floods in many parts of the country, and massive flooding
also caused the deaths of some 121 people.
 With this, Angat Buhay, a non-governmental
organization (NGO) founded by former vice
president Leni Robredo, has raised almost
P8 million in cash and in-kind donations to
help the communities affected by the severe
tropical storm "Paeng" on November 2, 2022.
