TikTok, one of the country’s most popular apps since the quarantine, has pledged to donate USD 1 million to the Philippine General Hospital Medical Foundation, Inc. (PGHMFI).
PGHMFI is a non-profit organization partnered with the Philippine General Hospital. The donated funds will go to help our health care professionals gain access to much needed protective gear and equipment, as well as go towards providing hardship relief for health care workers.
