A recent correspondence claimed that the establishment of community pantries across the Philippines embodies a spirituality of “Alay Kapwa” as it connects people, especially in a time of crisis such as the 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, to be persons for others. 1 This article highlights that the rise of community pantries was primarily aided by social media. It claims that if social media is utilized ethically and with positive disposition and perspective, it can be a powerful tool in the Church’s mission of evangelization, and in its response to this pandemic.
