No gigs. No public gatherings. No concerts.

The 30-day lockdown over the coronavirus pandemic shouldn't be taken lightly, but at the same time, it also affects the livelihood of the creative community. Now that cities within Metro Manila and surrounding provinces are on "community quarantine," live music venues have temporarily closed their doors. Local artists have moved to the digital stage by organizing online concerts to keep their fans from suffering cabin fever.

For everyone's health and safety, we'll all have to wait a while for the next live music event. In the meantime, here are ways we can continue to support our favorite Filipino acts:

Stream their songs (legally).

Subscribed to a streaming service? Listen to your favorite artists' albums on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube Music.

Shop their merch.

Show your love for your favorite band by sporting their official merch. Check out the Jess and Pat's online store for Clara Benin, Lola Amour, Munimuni, Oh, Flamingo!, and The Ransom Collective goods.
