The Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) will launch its newest book titled “The Philippines’ Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Learning from Experience and Emerging Stronger to Future Shocks" through a virtual forum on May 26, 2022, from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM via Cisco Webex.
This book compiles papers assessing the strategies, policies, and recovery efforts that the Philippine government had implemented during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses the challenges that the country had experienced and the government's responses in the areas of health, macroeconomy, food security, labor, social protection, poverty, education, digitalization, fiscal policy, and crisis and risk communication. This book also provides recommendations to help the Philippines recover from the current crisis and build better resilience to future shocks.
