Now is the time for our health experts and authorities to pause. The Philippines has so far successfully managed to contain the spread of Covid-19 and built up more health facilities to accommodate more cases if needed. The government, thus, may now take this opportunity to reopen the economy and restore the jobs of millions of workers.

I believe we will emerge stronger as a nation from the Covid-19 pandemic once it is contained.
For now, we need to remain cautious after the pandemic infected 2.7 million people and killed more than 190,000 globally as of April 23, 2020.

Health experts are optimistic that a vaccine against the Covid-19 will become available later this year or in early 2021. As we wait for the cure, let us use the time that we have to improve our infrastructure as the foundation of our economic revival while carefully observing the health protocols spelled out by the government.
