These bamboo face shields are handcrafted by Cotabato farmers in Mindanao

How awesome are these eco-friendly face shields? They're made with bamboo and handcrafted by Cotabato farmers from Mindanao.

On his Facebook page, Mindanao Development Authority chairperson Manny Pinol proudly shared photos of the bamboo face shields and farmers working hard at producing them.

Handmade by members of the Central Mindanao Green Workers Association, the bamboo face shield is designed by Agricultural Engineer Junroe Barrios from M'lang, Cotabato, Pinol said.

And best: it only costs P150 apiece.

According to Pinol, the group is just starting the enterprise, with the Cotabato farmers all working from home. They need all the support they can get to establish a formal and orderly manufacturing area, complete with working tables, stripping and sanitary equipment.

Interested customers can either contact Mr. Nonoy Jayme (+63965 8873930 or +63951 4131970) or they can order through their Facebook page and website.

This certainly is welcome news, after the Department of Transportation (DOTr) released a Memorandum Circular last week, mandating the use of face shields — on top of wearing face masks — in any mode of public transportation service effective August 15, 2020. — LA, GMA News
