Mga netizens nagrereklamo sa halos tripleng pagtaas ng mga protective masks
Dahil sa kamakailang reports tungkol sa eruption ng Taal volcano, maraming sumugod sa mga local stores upang bumili ng protective masks o N95 masks. Subalit dahil sa matinding demand nito, nagsitaasan na ang mga presyo. Maraming netizens na ang nagrereklamo dahil sa halos tripleng pagtaas ng mga presyo ng protective masks.
N95 masks prices jumping from 25-40 pesos to 200 -250 or even higher to some stores and resellers. My goodness in times of calamities, we should be helping one another and not take advantage of the situation. Hindi yan pagkain kapag holiday season pwede nyo itaas ang presyo! ?

From a friend: N95 is overkill. All we need is a simple mask to avoid inhaling the dust and coarse ash. N95 is for sub-microscopic viruses. N95 is P280 per piece. The regular one is only P5.00.
Update: this posting has the explicit and tacit agreement of THREE medical doctors.

Nagtutulungan na rin ang mga netizen kung ano nga bang klase ng masks ang mga dapat bilhin upang protektahang maigi ang sarili laban sa harmful effects ng ash fall.
KN95 masks are already unavailable at Mercury Drug Philcoa (I got the very last piece huhu)
Make sure to get yourself this kind of mask! Ask your roommate/relative/friend to check other local drug stores if there are still some left.

Marami ring nagrereklamo tungkol sa mga nanghohoard ng masks. Dahil sa limited production ng mga masks na ito, maraming concerned citizens and nakikiusap na huwag manghoard at bigyan ng tsansa ang ibang taong makabili rin ng mga protective masks.
Ang nakaklungkot pa dito, bumibili nang marami ang ilan para ibenta ito ng mas mahal sa publiko.
people hoarding masks for commercial purposes should be thrown in Taal tbh.
MAHIYA NGA KAYO HOY. kahit tumaas ang demand, there's no HUMANE reason to raise prices. GROW A HEART, YOU PIGS

Philippine Government, SERIOUSLY we should be handing out N95 face masks for citizens. Kawawa yung hindi maka-afford ng mask. Supply's super low. Palace coordinate with DOH /NDRRMC/DSWD via LGU, Mayors, flow down til barangay level. There exists an emergency response budget. 1/2

Nakisali na rin ang isa sa ating local celebrity na si Bianca Gonzales upang mag bigay awareness sa mga citizens kung kanino pa maaaring kumuha ng protective masks.
If you are a supplier or know anyone who supplies N95 masks (dahil nagkakaubusan na sa botika at hardware stores), please reply to this thread so that others can check also. My family is also trying to find kaso puro sold out na/sarado na stores.
Thank you. ??— Bianca Gonzalez (@iamsuperbianca) January 12, 2020
Mahalagang paalala rin ng mga concerned netizens ang pagbili lamang ng kailangan na masks upang hindi maubusan ang ibang citizens na nangangailangan rin nito.
DO NOT HOARD N95 MASKS! For this case na non-infectious ang reason for use, [although walang clear-cut recommendation] we can opt to REUSE our N95 masks as long as functional pa rin and maayos yung structure. Give others the chance to purchase it as well.
