Make a status report of the current economic condition of our country, the Philippines as
the COVID-19 pandemic hits the world. Write your report in a whole sheet of bond
paper.
The tourism industry has ground to a stop all across the world as a result of travel being
a key contributor to the virus's spread. The Philippines is heavily reliant on tourism for
revenue production, with an estimated loss of 0.68 percent of GDP due to tourism in the
worst-case scenario. International trade was also badly impacted, resulting in a spillover
effect from Chinese supply interruptions to the Philippines. As a result, the
communication equipment business was predicted to lose 115 million dollars due to
supply disruption.
The Philippines' economy experienced a major downturn in 2020 as a result of the
COVID-19 virus, with GDP falling 9.6% year on year. Since 1946, when the National
Accounts data series for the Philippines began, this was the greatest annual dropped
ever recorded.
In calendar 2020, final consumption spending dropped 7.9% y/y, while gross capital
creation fell 34.4 percent y/y. The transport and storage industry saw a 30.9 percent
year-on-year drop in output in 2020, while the hotel and food services sector saw a 45.4
percent drop.
Despite the fact that economic activity increased in the second half of 2020, with
positive quarter-on-quarter GDP growth in the fourth quarter of that year, the growing
pandemic in March and April 2021 has hampered near-term recovery prospects.

Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is the international humanitarian agency of

Conference of Catholic Bishops, the agency provides assistance to 130 million people
in more than 110 countries and territories in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle

A member of Caritas International, the worldwide network of Catholic humanitarian

break the cycle of poverty through community-based, sustainable development
initiatives as well as Peacebuilding. Assistance is based solely on need, not race, creed
or nationality. Catholic Relief Services is headquartered in the Posner

Catholic Relief Services is one of the most efficient organizations in the world. I admire
what this organization accomplishes since it helps people all across the world in
preventing starvation, combating diseases, and providing emergency relief in the
aftermath of disasters. This organization must maintain and grow because it still serves
a significant purpose in the world, and the world requires it. And I hope that many
individuals will benefit from their efforts.
Activity No. 5. Let’s Think Globally
Research one (1) event in the global community that depicts the participation of the
Philippines. Give at least 2 paragraphs narrative report
The Philippines joins the global community in protecting Sexual and
Reproductive Health and Rights, and in promoting Gender-Responsiveness
during the COVID-19 crisis
The humanitarian crisis caused by the coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic has
not only harmed Filipinos' health, but has also prompted warnings of violence against
women and children, as well as many other defenseless members of society.
Given this, the Philippines, along with other countries, is actively initiating interventions
to protect and promote the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women and girls
in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. For its part, the Commission on Population and
Development (POPCOM) has joined hands with other national government agencies
such as the Department of Health, Department of the Interior and Local Government,
Philippine Commission on Women as well as the Department of Social Welfare and
Development, among others, in pushing for the welfare of Filipino women by calling all
duty bearers to institute mechanisms to prevent gender-based violence during the
health crisis.
Moreover, current efforts to address the reproductive health needs of women and girls
are being pursued by POPCOM. Some of these strategies include the continuing
provision of family planning services by village (barangay) health workers, the provision
of helplines to provide information as well as referral services on family planning,
prevention of adolescent pregnancy and gender-based violence. POPCOM, through its
Family Wellness Clinic, supports the local government units in the provision of FP
services.
POPCOM thus supports the joint statement by ministers and leaders around the world
calling for unified support and collective action in protecting sexual and reproductive
health and rights. The statement also calls for the promotion of gender-responsiveness
of various interventions in addressing the COVID-19 crisis.

Jollibee concentrates on offering products that satisfy the Filipino taste: spicy burgers,
meals with rice, and Filipino-style spaghetti.
When Jollibee first enters a foreign market, it showcases its famous products—the
chicken, the spaghetti, and the burger. Once it has established itself in that country, it
diversifies its menu to include local products custom-made for the particular country.
3. What advances into the foreign market does this use of the Internet allow the
company to make?
Jollibee Food Corporation's marketing strategy uses media for their advertising, and it is
appealing and commercialized, using a variety of media such as television, radio,
newspapers, and more; they have spent millions of dollars to stay on top of their
customers' minds, especially among Filipinos.
4. What advantages does this globalization of its products give the company?
The advantages of globalization to the Jollibee Food Corporation's is that first of all they
are more convenient than other restaurants or fast food chains internationally,
secondly, the price of food is cheaper and more affordable and the thirdly they offer
people very fast service, as well as, delicious food. They can also access to new
cultures and can access to new markets.
5. In what other ways has technology helped speed this globalization?
Advanced technologies lower the cost of transportation and communication between
countries, making global purchasing of raw materials and other goods easier. Patented
technology promotes globalization since the company that owns the patent can profit
from foreign markets with little competition.
3. What are the solutions to global food security? Provide at least five.
Reduce food waste
Improve trade policies
Assist locals with the sustainable management of local natural resources through
soil conservation, water harvesting, rehabilitation irrigation systems and reducing
the loss of biodiversity.
Promote Diversification
Reduce the risk of commercializing
4. How does globalization affect food security? 10 points.
Globalization changes the character of the food supply chain, affecting the amount,
variety, pricing, and desirability of foods on the market. Because of this convergence-
divergence duality, governments are concerned that globalization may increase
inequalities in nutritional growth between the rich and the poor.
