The COVID-19 pandemic is not just about taking lives. It also took the livelihood of countless Filipinos across Luzon, which put the spread of coronavirus under enhanced group quarantine.
Some of the hardest hit by this situation are the daily wage earners, as well as those working in the retail and food sectors. Many who work for the live event industry, farmers in the provinces and even surf instructors in tourist destinations are also affected.
For live event professionals Because of live event cancellations, thousands of people in all fields of the live event industry have endured financial distress right now.
Although most are riding out this situation with their savings, there are some who have lost what little remains of their funds from diseases and ailments long before the cancelation of events associated with COVID.
They are also their family’s primary breadwinners who depend heavily on a steady stream of live events because they are paid on a per-project basis and are not compensated by an employer’s advance payments.
In the live event industry, this delicate category includes production assistants, maintenance personnel, technical assistants and freelance employees who help make a show run smoothly. We have no work security, and are currently in need of medical care. They need our support right now, because they are facing months of uncertainty.
Often affected are roadies, or the individuals who assist musicians and event managers during live shows. These are professionals whose careers were threatened because they depend on the various gigs and concerts to earn a living.
To support the roadies, Indie Manila and Red Ninja Productions have launched a GoGetFunding project in collaboration with Roadie Superstar, Director Juno Oebanda, to help raise funds for the roads.

For surf instructors in Baler, In light of the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon brought on by the growing cases of people infected with coronavirus disease, many provinces have requested lockdown or travel restrictions in their regions, including Aurora.
This has caused many of the surf instructors to suffer as their main income relies on tourism.
