The donation drive is voluntary with no standard contributions and will have no deduction on salary of police officers, Gamboa added.

The Bayanihan to Heal as One Act states that some 18 million low-income households will receive P5,000 to P8,000, depending on minimum wage rates in their respective areas, as financial assistance amid the COVID-19 crisis.
