The 38-year-old Chinese woman visited Cebu and spent several days in Dumaguete City before flying to Manila where she sought medical attention for a mild cough.
As Pinoy netizens panicked across the country, many fear meeting Chinese people or Chinese-looking people, particularly in closed spaces like elevators, convenience stores, and public transportation. Many Pinoys avoid Chinese people, even the ones wearing masks.

Despite the discrimination they are facing from Filipinos, a group of Chinese guys in Manila did not mind as they understood why they are being ostracized just for being Chinese. Instead of hating back, they decided to help by giving out free masks to Filipinos! Isn’t that amazing?
Netizen Cindy Arcangeles shared pictures of the Chinese guys who earned her admiration.
