The project was spearheaded because many are still struggling to secure their meals even if the Philippine government already promised to give one-time cash assistance to overseas workers and the United Arab Emirates has been doing a nationwide initiative to feed the poor.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Century Gothic, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Despite the struggle of taking care of her three children at home and preparing 200 meals a day, Dela Pe\u00f1a remains committed for this drive.

However, when her initiative spread on social media, other people began reaching out, dropping off cartons of eggs, and bags of rice. In fact, an influential blogger in Emirates also gave 10,000 dirhams \u2013 that\u2019s $2,700! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Century Gothic, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Dela Pe\u00f1a is also aided by her housemates, husband, and brother-in-law for the food preparation. She uses her children\u2019s wagon for the meal delivery every day. Aside from Filipinos, there are also Africans, South Asians, and other foreigners who now rely on the free meals provided by Dela Pe\u00f1a. According to them, they were asked to stop working and didn\u2019t receive payment anymore since March.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a> <span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Century Gothic, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">To ensure safety, Dela Pe\u00f1a asks those who would like to get the free meals to always practice social distancing, to stand meters apart from each other, and wear masks. Although she\u2019s nervous that the authorities in Dubai may reprimand her for violating laws on public gatherings and food distribution, Dela Pe\u00f1a believes that she has to continue such cause because if she stops, many people will stop eating as well.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COVID-19 pandemic has left many people jobless not only in the Philippines, but as well as in other countries.
