The government played a large role in helping the Philippines survive the COVID-19 pandemic. When the virus first emerged in 2020, authorities imposed lockdowns that prevented people from leaving home without a mask. This led many to lose their jobs and access to food. In response, the government implemented local initiatives to provide residents with free rice, canned goods, cash assistance and other essentials. Barangays also contributed by giving free food from community pantries to those in need. The government's safety measures and economic aid programs were critical in helping families avoid starvation during the crisis.

Government take big part on how we survived covid19.
In March 2020, the Philippines faced one of its
toughest challenges yet: the coronavirus disease 2019, more popularly known as "COVID-19". The SARS-CoV-2 virus is the cause of COVID-19. Mild to severe respiratory illnesses, including death, can be brought on by COVID-19. The greatest preventative methods are avoiding ill individuals and wearing a mask during periods of high transmission, remaining 6 feet apart, washing your hands often, and staying away from people. Because of this, the authorities imposed a lockdown, during which no one was allowed to leave their homes or interact with others without a mask on. Several individuals lost their employment as well as their source of food and supplies of commodities when the lockdown began. The government is trying to find a solution, which is why there are initiatives being run locally, specifically in our barangay of , such as the "ayuda," which provides residents with free rice, canned goods, and other essentials for living; another kind is the cash assistance they give to families. There are also things that the other barangays do; for example, they give free food from their community pantry to people who need it the most and give free food as an act of kindness to stray people. Government take big part on how we survived covid19. From those safety things they implement to secure as to the things they give out that helps most of the families to survive starvation.
