In collaboration with St. John Bosco Parish and Don Bosco School, the Salesians of Don Bosco offers their funeral chapels as a transient for the frontliners of Makati Medical Center. The Parish created makeshift beds by combining rows of chairs and placing mattresses at the center of each. As of press, a chapel can accommodate up to 35 people.

The Parish opened its doors to healthcare workers on March 29. Such responsibility and stewardship has been observed more and more by Filipinos recently.
