Hazel's mother, Maryjoy Mota, posted several comments on social media asking for help in buying formula milk for her infant grandchild after the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) was enforced in March. The family's breadwinner, Ricky, lost his job as a construction worker when the ECQ began. Hazel and her boyfriend are teenage students with no jobs. With little money to buy formula milk for Pia, Maryjoy encouraged Hazel to breastfeed her infant daughter. (Photo by Buck Pago)
