Pasig vice mayor to auction motorcycle, mountain bike to raise COVID-19 funds

Pasig City Vice Mayor Bernardo will auction his expensive motorcycle and mountain bike as he continues to raise COVID-19 funds for their city.

Bernardo will auction his Kawasaki Vulcan S-650 and Giant Talon Mountain Bike through his Facebook account. Proceeds will go to cancer and dialysis patients and “Heart Warrior” children.

The Vice Mayor first launched his fundraising campaign called “Sneakers Auction for a Cause” in March. It is to help Pasig LGU purchase personal protective equipment, hygiene kits, food packs, and other essential items for its frontliners and low-income families.

Bernardo’s auction was able to raise P340,000 to augment the COVID-19 prevention efforts of Pasig. He then expanded the sale by including sports memorabilia and other valuable items so people with different interests and passion could also join. 

“Marami po ang nagtulong-tulong para mas maraming matulungan ang “Sneakers Atbp. Auction for a Cause.” Nandiyan po ang mga kilalang legends and players mula sa PBA at UAAP, ang Sneaker Aficionados of the Philippines, mga vloggers, broadcasters and celebrities, si Senator Manny Pacquiao, mga private individuals, companies and organizations mula sa iba’t-ibang lugar ng bansa, at mga kapwa Pasigueño na nagpamahagi ng kanilang blessings,” Bernardo said.
