But even though children have not been significantly affected by the virus, they continue to be extremely vulnerable to the negative impacts.   Last May 2020, World Vision conducted a rapid assessment and the study revealed that 92% of the household respondents’ livelihoods were disrupted, with the daily or casual laborers as those severely affected. This resulted to 60%-68% of the households being unable to meet their family’s daily requirements to survive. The assessment showed that food security has worsened during the pandemic as their average food spending was further reduced from Php 1,797.06 to Php 1,184.82. This shows the importance of immediate planning and implementation of projects/ activities that will cater to our kababayans in need.

  Being quick to adapt and formulate crisis strategies can help any business survive and flourish in the new normal         The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many companies to cut bac k or lay off majority of their workforce in order to survive the global health and financial crisis.

They have the first and only FSSC 22000-certified cold storage facility in the country, ensuring world-class safety and cleanliness. Six months into Community Quarantine, most Filipinos are still adjusting to the repercussions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Different industries have adjusted at their own pace, with some choosing to slow down their activities and be more cautious.  The food production and sales industry were, and still are, more challenged with the adjustments. Consumers still need to eat, therefore farms still need to produce. And with more people staying at home and cooking their meals, demand for frozen food (especially meats) also increased, so stores still need to keep their inventories well stocked.
