However, the document argues that the government's response has not been enough to alleviate impacts to public health and the economy. Specifically, it notes that the government lacks a clear strategy to eliminate the virus, the health system is unprepared, and the focus has been on problems rather than solutions. As a result, the economy has contracted significantly.

    Do you think the Philippine government's response to this COVID-19 pandemic is enough to

    mitigate its effects to the health of the people and the economy?

    The Philippine government with the leadership of our President, Rodrigo R.


    Durterte mounted a multi-sectoral response to the COVID-that aims to contain the spread
    of COVID-19 and mitigate its socioeconomic impacts through the Interagency Task
    Force or IATF and National Action Plan (NAP) on COVID-19. These agencies have
    imposed lock-down of the entire Luzon island and are mulling over more localized lock-
    downs. The Philippines government also declared a state of calamity in the country for
    six months.

    However, despite the efforts of the government to contain the spread of the virus
    through initiating lockdowns in areas affected for more than 6 months, the virus’s
    potential to evolve in a nastier direction or, if we’re lucky, become more benign is still
    unclear. 

    All though we were be able to survive and not getting infected by the viral infection
    because of the program initiated by the government during at this time, I can see that
    their response to the pandemic cannot alleviate the life of the people and our society for
    the following reasons;

    1. There is no direct plan on how to eliminate the virus in our country. The
    Department of Health has no clear strategy and policy but just waiting for
    the vaccine to be available in the market.
    2. Our health system is not even prepared to handle patients affected by the
    virus and;
    3. Our Government should focus on the solution and not on the problems
    instead. 

    As a result of the inadequate plans, programs, and strategies, our economy knocked
    out household consumption with the economy shrinking. Thus, for me, the response of
    the government is still not enough to mitigate the life of the community. As long as there
    is no cure and treatment offered by our government, our economy will suffer and so as
    the people.
