Jeepney drivers affected by the community quarantine being implemented by the government turned into carpentry to earn money.
In a Facebook post, netizen Rico Unop messaged several Facebook pages to promote the computer tables made by jeepney drivers so people could see it.
“Mga boss baka po gusto ninyo bumili ng gaming table na simple lang po gawa po ng mga driver samin maganda paren po naman at matibay paren ang gawa nila sulit naman po ang 3700 mo naka help kapa po skanila..salamat po,” Unop said.
Even popular streamer Ghost Wrecker decided to buy one of the computer tables made by the jeepney drivers.
Netizens saw the crafts made by the jeepney drivers and some of them decided to buy computer tables for them.
One Facebook page that posted Unop’s promotion reached 51,000 shares as of writing.
Computer tables are a necessity right now as the government would implement distance learning this school year because of the current situation of the country.
After they have gone viral, Unop addressed the netizens on Facebook, saying that the orders they received were overflowing already.
