Everywhere I go, it is sold out.
"Hi miss, I need bundle of face mask please?"
"Oh, I am sorry sir, it is out of stock"
"Hi miss, do you have N95 or the ordinary mask?"
"I am sorry, it just ran out. The last supply just went out"
Where should I go? The office where I work provides free mask. 1 mask a day only. Earlier this morning, I don't have mask on my way to the office. When I got to the lobby, I immediately logged my name in the reception logbook to get the mask.
Please send us some masks here.

I wanted to ask for clarification. When you say face masks, are you referring to the masks that conceal your mouth and nose? Face masks can also refer to something you put on your skin, let dry, and then wash off.

Sorry, I am referring to medical mask, surgical mask.

@jobelbojel Oh I see. Please be careful if you receive any from China. I've heard somewhere that they are making them as cheaply and as quickly as possible, some are considered "Fake" as they aren't keeping out any contagions.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I hope that they won't reach us here. I saw post on Facebook that Chinese nationals who are in the Philippines are giving away free mask. And guess what, people are being careful.

@jobelbojel They have masks here, we can get a mask every time we go to the hospital if we prefer to wear one while waiting.

I wonder why masks are not available anymore. Even in Watson my wife said the same.

Do you think they are keeping it and will sell once the demands pick up?

For sanitation purposes. It is advisable to reuse them I guess.

I am going out today to find surgical masks. I was able to buy online this morning but it's the one with activated charcoal and I am not so sure why they say this is not a good mask. Well, I think this is better than no mask at all...
I also contacted my sister and hopefully she will send us some. But that will take time, so I am getting some in the city. I hope they have stocks there...

You know I was thinking that maybe you could wrap at least a cloth around your mouth and nose.

Face mask becomes dear. Before it costs 20 a piece. Then 25, 35, 40 and the highest is 69. It's like an auction sale. Besides they're not clinical masks. They're homemade.
