- The resulting lockdowns due to the virus have created a significant downturn in the job market, thus exacerbating the impact of COVID-19 on poverty in the Philippines.
- I wonder what would the government do now that the economy of the Philippines continues to drop and poverty cases has risen
- According to Philippine Statistics Authority, unemployment rose to 17.6% in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, it is a figure that could rise and lockdown measures continue, leading to increased levels of poverty and hunger.
- The impact of COVID-19 on poverty in the Philippines is temporary but the right measures and lifting of lockdown measures as rates and vaccinations roll out could alleviate it.
- Also access to quality education. It will provide children with the knowledge and life skills they need to realize their full potential. They could perhaps, give free access to education especially to those who are underprivileged.

- Okay Mom and Dad! Thank you for telling this to us.
- The best thing we can do right now is to support an organization that focuses on providing livelihood programs for those poor people.
- In that way, we can somehow at least help them support their families.
