Bras, diapers and panties can be used as substitute to face masks, according to Health Assistant Secretary Ma. Francia Laxamana.
“Meron pa ibang creative ways of doing things. Isa po yung kamiseta, ilagay ninyo po. Meron pong isang creative, yung bra at panty,” Laxamana said at a news conference in Malacañang.

“Ang diapers open so pwede po siya. Actually kung titingnan niyo ang mga diapers merong dry. Puwede niyong basain ng konti para hindi kayo ma-suffocate.”
Following Taal Volcano’s steam-driven explosion on Sunday, the DOH said exposure to volcanic ash can cause nose and throat irritation, coughing, bronchitis-like illness, discomfort while breathing, eye irritation and minor skin problems.

The department has since advised the public to minimize exposure to ash, stay indoors as much as possible and use dust masks.
Prices of face masks, however, have gone up due to a surge in demand, especially in Metro Manila which had experienced ashfall from Taal Volcano.
