Filipino indie singer-songwriter Bullet Dumas has been noticing a decline in all online fundraising for COVID-19 causes.
He advised his fellow musicians to strategize and schedule their shows to remind everyone that helping has to be constant.
There's a noticeable decline in ALL online fundraising gig viewers and, ergo, donors. Try to strategize and sched your shows, fellow musicians.
We have to keep doing this though coz we have to remind everyone that helping has to be CONSTANT.
While covid is here, people need help.— Bullet Dumas (@bulletdumas) April 13, 2020
Some netizens said that he might be experiencing “donor fatigue” or that people were waiting to get paid their salaries as well before donating.
baka donor fatigue na sir bullet or hopefully nag antay lang ng sahod sa 15th.

Kapamilya star Ria Atayde’s previous post on Twitter said that they were “hitting a point of donor fatigue”. This is when the President asks the help of Private Sectors donate more despite the 275 billion funds allotted to him.
But we’re also hitting a point of donor fatigue… private sector nalang? Ganun? 🙃 https://t.co/AnyGvbJHVq

Agot Isidro also gave her opinion as she also expects donor fatigue would set in. She also thought that if ECQ would go beyond a month, she should have to plan for it.
My opinion.
-Mahaba pa ito. Wala pa tayo sa peak.
-Donations are needed and much appreciated. But let’s also expect donor fatigue.
-Kailangan ng plano (both public & private sectors) if this goes beyond the one month lockdown.
Hindi ito being nega, just thinking ahead.

Edwin Lacierda said that at some point donor fatigue will set in and the government must step in.
At some point, donor fatigue will set in.
Private sector has been raising funds to address inadequacies. It can’t last forever.
At the end of the day, the government must step in decisively & whatever stimulus package it has, must be implemented w/ minimal chokepoints.

From the beginning of the lockdown, big private companies and celebrities have been doing fundraising to help the community and the government to provide food and other necessities for them to survive.
