In the recent episode of the 2 Fat Fairies Podcast, we had multi-awarded actor and stand-up comic John Lapus (@korekkajohn) who told his inspiring story of overcoming odds to reach his star status and his exciting new role as film writer and director with his initial offering “Pang MMK.”
Interestingly, John also had his fair share of emotional and financial turmoil due to the pandemic. But he remained steadfast in remaining positive by reaching out to celebrity friends, college mates and his theatre family, Teatro Tomasino. Aside from the moral and emotional support that this has provided him, John, also known as the “Universal Sweet” for his successful chain of stand-up comedy tours, found an amazing way to give back to the community and help people protect themselves from the adverse effect of COVID-19.
In his attempt to be productive during these challenging times, John reached out to event practitioner Boyet Mariñas who introduced him to “Sanitize Pro Manila” – a company that provides disinfection and sanitation services to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. “We provide these services for residential units, condominiums, offices and just recently, production houses who are all trying to regain footing from the very long slump caused by the global pandemic,” explains John.
“The training was very hard because the SanitizePro Manila teams are technically frontliners as well. Like any frontliner, we risk our lives to save everyone else to have the livelihood that they would like to achieve given a safe space sanitized by our group. We really need to fight to survive,” quips John.
The sanitation process usually run from one to two hours depending on the size of the client’s space. This includes going through all possible surfaces that can be infected by the virus using state-of-the art technology and solutions which are approved and recommended by the Department of Health and Center for Disease Control of the Philippines.
