 The epidemic has been having an
impact on the whole food system
and exposed its vulnerability. Border
closures, trade restrictions, and
confinement measures have made it
difficult for farmers to access
markets, including to buy inputs and
sell their produce, and for agricultural
workers to harvest crops. As a result,
domestic and global food supply
chains have been disrupted, and the
availability of a variety of safe,
healthy diets has decreased which in
the end causes health issues both
globally and locally.
The pandemic has destroyed jobs
and jeopardized the livelihoods of
millions of people. Millions of
women and men's food security
and nutrition are at risk as
breadwinners lose their jobs, get
sick, or pass away; those in low-
income nations, especially the
most marginalized populations,
such as small-scale farmers and
indigenous peoples, are severely
hurt.
 examples of
health issues
Mental health issues are common health issues faced
by every nation. During the pandemic, around 3.6
million Filipinos suffered from mental health problems,
including depression, substance use disorders like
alcohol use disorder, and mood disorders like bipolar
disorder. There are various reasons, but the phrase
"huwag kang maarte" (don't be too dramatic) is more
common. Because of this, people will feel that they
don't need to seek a professional. As the consequence,
there is limited data about the mental health situation
in the Philippines.

mental health
Why is it important to
talk about mental
health in Philippines?

Because stigmatizing attitudes and

discriminatory behaviors still exist at home,
school, and workplace settings in the
Philippines. Those suffering from various
mental health conditions struggle more
because of the stigma surrounding mental
illness.

 malnutrition

There have been studies conducted and accordingly, most of the

Filipinos that suffer from malnutrition are the poor ones. The Philippine
government, thru the Department of Social Welfare and Developments
along with the Department of Health has provided projects to help
poor Filipinos from starvation.
 conclusion

There are a lot more of examples or kinds of health issues that the
world is facing, yes, it gets addressed sometimes but it also gets
disregarded for some time. In conclusion, health issues is a major
concern or problem that we're facing both globally and locally.
