The COVID-19 pandemic has affected people from all walks of life in varying degrees, experts said.

"While the virus does not choose people, the disease affects people very differently," said University of the Philippines College of Medicine professor Dr. Tony Dans."What this pandemic has highlighted is there is so much inequity in society."

Another expert said people are more inclined to go to work to earn rather than stay at home despite the risk of catching the virus.[hunger or illness] and people would say I'd rather choose[to get sick rather than go hungry]," said Emmanuel Leyco, president of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila. Oscar Bulaong, a leaderhip and philosophy professor at the Ateneo de Manila University, said government plans must tackle the root of poverty during the crisis.
