Webinar discusses realities and responses to COVID-19

In the past five weeks, families have gone hungry, workers have lost their jobs, and local government units have either maximized resources or been hindered by bureaucratic red tape in response to the coronavirus.

The Inter-Agency Task Force has recently tasked local government units with leading efforts against COVID-19. President Duterte and the IATF met with top health experts on April 20 to plan for post-lockdown measures scheduled to begin after April 30.

Rappler invited Mahar Mangahas, president of Social Weather Stations, and former Interior and Local Government undersecretary Austere Panadero for a webinar on Friday, April 24 at 10 am to discuss the realities and responses to the pandemic.
