When Singapore enforced social distancing－dubbed a circuit-breaker－to halt a rising number of COVID-19 cases last year, Jun Rigonan found himself at the forefront of a repatriation story.

The engineer with a passion for news, who founded the Facebook page Rated J, has been keeping compatriots who had to return home to the Philippines due to the pandemic abreast of the latest developments. It is also aimed at Filipino expats in Singapore.

Rated J, a nonprofit voluntary group, prides itself as a source of “news about overseas Filipinos, for overseas Filipinos, by overseas Filipinos”. The page tackles a variety of topics, including COVID-19 issues, migrant workers’ rights, entertainment, exchange rates and the weather.
