The Help is Still Good

Those who have less in life particularly in financial aspect are the ones who feel the most difficult situation. Even those who belong to the middle class feel the same but I think not to greater extent at this time of the pandemic. Foods are the most essential at this time. Government through to its smallest unit are extending relief goods while some agencies are extending cash assistance to the affected workers and other sectors. The Labor Department was the first to respond for financial assistance to private employees affected with the no work, no pay policy and even those with flexible work arrangement. The help and other assistance is still good I think.

The immediate help they were distributed are food packs. It would be better if there are medicines included. Maybe the cash assistant can help that.

Government here is asking for all the financial help from people and not good for doing anything on their own

That money is still from the taxpayers. It's time for them to help back.

Yes People who are daily wagers and who live in a hand to mouth situation are the worst affected ones. It's good that all across the world, government and organizations are coming forward to help them. Also people are donating for their cause.

We do really need basic needs, such as food, medicines, etc. I hope our government can provide these things in a long period of time.

@ZedSmart I agree. The ask for help now. I am not sure if the international NGOs would reinforce their help. As far as I can remember, the president scrutinized them before.
