ABSTRACT: As the whole world reels under the impact of the unprecedented
health crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been little
attention on its effect on grassroots communities and marginalized sectors.
This is particularly important given the haphazard and erratic manner of
official measures to contain the contagion which are being implemented in a
situation where health systems face serious challenges in terms of
readiness to confront a crisis of this proportions. While national reports
are extensively documented and macro numbers are often reported, there is a
need to look more closely at underprivileged sectors and communities. This
preliminary report documents what marginalized communities in Southeast
Asia are engaging in and how they respond to the pandemic. Results are
varied, conditioned on the location, existence of community and sectoral
organizations, and levels of social solidarity and collective consciousness.

Thank you so much.

On behalf of UP CIDS AltDev,

Hans Tabiola
Junior Research Analyst
