Reading can really go a long way. I was just curious if freelance writers can get something because of this pandemic. Then I came across this article. NCCA is giving COVID19 assistance for Filipino writers!
I already apply for it since the deadline is today! Hopefully my application will be approved since I didnt get any assistance from the DSWD even if Im a single parent. It will help a lot especially during this times.
If you're a Filipino writer, check the details below. Hope this helps!
The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) will grant cash subsidy to writers whose source of income have been affected by the enhanced community quarantine.

It's 5,000 pesos or $100. Not much but it can help a lot.

Good luck. Australian actors and musicians can apply for assistance here I think. I'm not sure about writers.
