First on March 20th.

A man was spotted wearing a Spiderman costume as he went to the market in Sampaloc, Manila amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) threat.
Instead of just wearing a face mask, Jon Gani decided to go out in "full gear" as a means to protect himself from the virus.
According to his wife, Jean, Jon went out wearing the costume for fun since he also happened to be a cosplayer.
Spidey showed up again on April 14th this time handing out food to a neighborhood in Victoria, Tarlac.

A friendly neighborhood "Spider-Man" was spotted giving away bags of free food in a subdivision in Victoria, Tarlac.
According to the guy behind the mask, Estefred Cordero, Jr., some of his neighbors lost their livelihoods due the enhanced community quarantine.
Wanting to help, he started handing out bags of relief goods around the subdivision in full Spider-Man costume.
The superhero thing was also a huge hit with the kids.
Six days later on April 20th two Spidermen showed up to deliver food.

It wasn't just relief goods that Leo Diola and his friend Laurence Nodera brought to frontliners of two hospitals in Sto. Tomas and Tanuan in Batangas.
Dressed in Spider-Man suits, the two men also brought joy to their recipients, who were pleasantly surprised at their, erm, chosen OOTDs.
The YouScoopers gave out 25 kilos sack of rice and face mask holders for the frontliners from St. Cabrini Hospital in Sto. Tomas and the CP Reyes Hospital in Tanauan, Batangas.
Even before the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) threat, Leo has already been participating in outreach programs in children's hospitals wearing the same Spider-Man costume to give joy and donations to the kids.
On April 25th Spiderman showed up at a contrition site to hand out vegetables.

"Spider-Man" has come to the rescue once again.
Photos tweeted by DZBB's Isa Avendaño-Umali showed yet another Pinoy dressed up as Spider-Man, distributing vegetables to construction workers stranded in Pasig City.
The friendly neighborhood hero showed that the back of his car was filled to the brim with bags of vegetables, and he even cheered up kids with his efforts.
The Black Panther showed up on April 7th but not to hand out food.

Not all superheroes wear capes—some are dressed in a Black Panther costume risking his life to get your milk cravings satisfied!
A food delivery biker was spotted clad in a Black Panther costume, which he wore as an alternative PPE as he continues working amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) threat.
YouScooper Aristotle was surprised when he saw his fellow food delivery biker lining up at a milk tea shop dressed in the superhero costume.
Very fitting for a big black cat to be delivering milk tea.

"It's sort of my way of thanking our true superheroes, our frontliners who daily sacrifice to provide for their daily necessities," said Carlo Angelo Garces, the man behind the costume.
Essential personnel like healthcare workers, grocery store employees, garbage collectors, and many others risk exposure to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) just to keep the world going.
Carlo said he wanted to tip his hat off to them, but he also wanted "to lighten the mood" by cosplaying during one of his supply runs.
He added that he also felt the extra protection with his whole body covered by the costume.
"You feel like you have PPE because aside from the face mask I was wearing inside, I still like the fact that I'm wearing Power Rangers, I'm still wearing a helmet," he said
Go, Go, shopping Rangers!

Three times a week, members of a local youth group don their homemade Star Wars outfits to do their rounds of Panghulo in the capital Manila to remind people to stay in their homes to help halt the contagion’s spread.
On one patrol, AFP saw Darth Vader striding into a silent courtyard followed by the white-armoured stormtroopers holding blaster rifles and scanning for anyone breaking the lockdown order that has confined the city’s 12 million people to their homes since mid-March.
Another mission saw them being rowed through the flooded streets on the lookout for those sneaking outside, dodging the electricity lines that sagged overhead.
Lord Vader finds your lack of social distancing disturbing. Seriously though how are these people allowed to break the quarantine and roam about? Just because of the costumes?
