MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau). Now that President Bongbong Marcos has lifted the public health emergency status in connection with Covid-19, many Filipinos and vendors have become weary about what to do with their huge inventory and supply of surgical as well as cloth face masks.

The Adobo Chronicles sought ideas from our readers and other netizens so as not to waste money that has been invested in face masks.

We are publishing just a few of the ideas we have received — from underwear to pillow and mattress filling, from decorative knee pads for denim pants to fashionable bags and purses.

If you have other ideas, please do not hesitate to send us a message or let us know in the comments section.
