Title of Article: Philippines: World Bank Approves US$100M to Support COVID-19 Emergency Response

MANILA, April 23, 2020—The World Bank approved a US$100 million loan for the Philippines COVID-19 Emergency Response
Project to help meet urgent healthcare needs in the wake of the pandemic and bolster the country’s public health
preparedness.

The project, which will be implemented by the Department of Health (DOH), will help strengthen the essential healthcare
delivery system for critical medical services in the face of increased demand in the coming months.

“Boosting the country’s capacity to respond to COVID-19 will save lives,” said Achim Fock, World Bank Acting Country
Director for Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. “The government has taken quick and decisive action in the fight
against the COVID-19 pandemic and the World Bank is proud to support its efforts. Right now, no other investment offers
greater return.”

The project will focus on providing personal protective equipment (PPE) such as goggles, gloves, gowns; drugs such as
antivirals, antibiotics and essential medicines; and medical supplies such as intensive care unit equipment and devices such as
mechanical ventilators, cardiac monitors, portable x-ray machines; laboratory equipment and test kits. In addition, the
project will support the necessary logistics and supply chains to help ensure that the equipment will reach frontline health
facilities without delays.

The project will also support the DOH in preparing guidance on standard design for hospital isolation and treatment centers
to manage Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (SARI) patients, which will be used in health facilities across the country to
ensure standards and quality of COVID-19 healthcare services.

This project will also fund the expansion of the country’s laboratory capacity at the national and sub-national levels for
prevention of and preparedness against emerging infectious diseases. It will support retrofitting of the national reference
laboratory – the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) – as well as six sub-national and public health laboratories in
Baguio, Cebu, Davao, and Manila, and finance the construction and expansion of laboratory capacity in priority regions that
currently do not have these facilities.

The Philippines is one of the countries in the East Asia and the Pacific region hit hard by COVID-19. The COVID-19 Emergency
Response Project is part of the World Bank Group’s fast-track package to strengthen the COVID-19 response in developing
countries and shorten the time to recovery.

On April 9, 2020, the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors approved US$500 million in financing to help strengthen the
Philippine government’s capacity to address disaster risks, respond to and recover from natural disasters as well as address
urgent needs created by the COVID-19 crisis.

The World Bank Group’s Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The World Bank Group is taking broad, fast action to help developing countries strengthen their pandemic response, increase
disease surveillance, improve public health interventions, and help the private sector continue to operate and sustain jobs. It
is deploying up to $160 billion in financial support over the next 15 months to help countries protect the poor and vulnerable,
support businesses, and bolster economic recovery.

Processing Questions:
1. What have you learned from the article?
From the article regarding the monetary help for COVID emergency response for the Philippines, I learned that
other countries are willing to help us in order to fight this virus and not fall our economy. I also learned that our
country has a lot lacking services for medical emergencies such as a pandemic that is currently happening today.
I also learned that a big amount of money was given to us for support and help to respond to this pandemic and improve our
healthcare facilities.

2. What are your insights about the article?

The article has given me an insight that the Philippines has a good relationship with other countries since they are willing to
help us in this time of need. It also has given me an idea that our government has a lot of project but in this time that those
projects are really needed, just few of them were put into action.

3. As a Business Finance student, what do you think should our Government do to minimize economic crisis?
As a Business Finance student, I think that the Government should practice how to set priorities to minimize economic crisis.

The government must be wise enough to prioritize the ongoing pandemic and take full action on this one because as what I
see on the news today, our government prioritized military forces and not this pandemic. We all know that this pandemic
really hit us hard to the extent that businesses closed down. With not prioritizing this emergency, economic crisis will also
come to our country because people in the society are limited in doing work and making money. The government should use
our funds in a right way especially the ones that were given to us by other countries to fight this pandemic and avoid
economic crisis in our country which we cannot really afford to experience.
