Unity in Adversity

-

            



            COVID-19 was characterized by World Health Organization as a pandemic, pointing to over 3 million cases and 207,973 deaths in 213 countries and territories. This virus is not only a global pandemic and public health crisis; it has also severely affected the global economy and financial markets. 

            Significant economic impact has already occurred across the globe due to reduced productivity, loss of life, business closures, trade disruption, and decimation of the tourism industry. So, the world needs now is a more robust, ethical and equitable social-ecological economy, specially our country. In order to do this, cooperation of filipino people and the government is a must. Goverment must help more businesses to grow in order to create job.  Filipino people can help by buying local products. This means that we support ourselves too. When we spend our money on a locally-owned business instead of a multinational brand, our money goes to purchasing other service providers, farms, and businesses which strengthens our country’s economic base. We’ll be able to put money back into our community and the other people who call it home, too. It’ll give our local economy a chance to thrive, too. Investstment is also one of the main source of employment creation and the main factor of economic growth. More jobs, more income and brighter future for the filipinos.

            "Unity is the key for the Philippines to attain economic prosperity". As Rafael Alunan lll said, we can do it if we have unity. Little things for us is a big help for our economy. So in terms of adversity, unity is the key.

    We can indeed face and surpass any obstacles in our lives if we have unity. With unity, it cannot only help us fight challenges but also to improve and enhance ourselves and also our country. I agree that even with our smallest ways, we can help the country. Have a great day.

It is initiated by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) through the Office of Civil Defense in an effort to "continuously instill to the public earthquake preparedness amid the pandemic."             Although we cannot be able to prevent natural earthquakes from occuring, we can lessen the effects by using early warning systems, building safer structures, providing education on earthquake safety and implementing plans to help recover in case of an earthquake. We can also reduced the risk from human induced earthquakes by preparing for natural earthq...
