The study will be presented by PIDS authors, namely, Senior Research Fellow Michael Abrigo, Research Fellow Valerie Gilbert Ulep, and Supervising Research Specialist Jhanna Uy. They will discuss the potential socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic in the Philippines under different scenarios, their projections on the resource requirements needed by the health sector to cope with the demands of the pandemic, and the possible burden of COVID-19 on the Philippine macroeconomy. Based on these, they will offer recommendations for moving forward.
