MANILA, Philippines — Former UP Fighting Maroon Paul Desiderio gave back to his roots amid the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on Friday.

Desiderio, along with fiance and former UAAP courtside reporter Agatha Uvero, distributed a total of 100 packs of rice to residents in Barangay UP Village in Quezon City.

The 22-year-old now plays for the Blackwater Elite in the PBA.

Desiderio's teammate and fellow former Maroon Diego Dario, meanwhile, set up a donation drive for frontliners combating the pandemic.

Other PBA players like Jio Jalalon and Terrence Romeo have also lent helping hands to communities during the pandemic.
