A lot of Filipinos are working abroad. Unfortunately, many of them who were supposed to go home this year were still not able to fly home yet due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Previously, some countries were under a total lockdown as parts of the efforts to curb the spread of the disease. Even the World Health Organization (WHO) was alarmed by how fast the disease spread across the globe.

WHO advises countries not to put their guards down early to avoid the 2nd wave of the disease. According to the international body, it might be a long-term battle against the pandemic.
