A call to bayanihan
is made, and the call has been answered by the men and women of the Philippine
Navy through Naval Sea Systems Command (NSSC) personnel in Cavite City.
Globally there is
glut in the supply of the Protective Personnel Equipment (PPE), demand is so high
the supply can and will not be able to cope up.
Our country is in
dire need of PPE’s for our frontliners, most specially the members of te Armed
Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) as medical
professionals and the admin staff of hospitals where there are already Persons
Under Investigation(PUI’s), Person Under Monitoring (PUM’s), and confirmed Covid-19
patients admitted in their premises are being prioritized.

The NSSC have started
to make face shields to be used by our fleet-marine troops as an alternate
offset on the ongoing shortage of supplies of PPE’s while the
entire island of Luzon is under the “enhanced community quarantine.”

The do-it-yourself (DIY) face shields was started to support
the PN frontliners. A total of atleast 470 pieces of face shields were made
from transparency film, foam, garter and double-sided tape were produced from
their readily available materials. Said items will be given to Naval Task
Group-NCR for proper distribution. Accordingly, an estimated of 400 pieces of
facemask were consumed daily by the deployed troops.

“We wanted to support our frontliners by creating something that they
can use in the fight against COVID-19. We also worry for their safety amidst
the dwindling availability of protective equipment, this is why we thought of
creating our own face shields.” According to NSSC commander, Rear Admiral Rommel Jason Galang.
