Importation and Exportation is one of the many basic sources of business our country (the
Philippines) relies on. Our farmers grow their plants in order to export to other countries (like
bananas, and other fruits and vegetables). Even our most recent trend of ordering from Lazada
and Shopee are affected by these blockages.

If the chartering of goods from and to other countries will be hindered, our farmers will
have no money to sustain their business or even give salary to their employees. Same as a lot of
businesses cannot function well and a lot of families will be affected. Importation and
Exportation has been inadequately limited due to preventing the wide spread of COVID-19.
