Community Healthcare in the Time of COVID-19 75 BKP and their COVID-19 situation COVID-19 has brought disruptions to everyone. However, the impact of the pandemic is different across social classes. The Philippine government, through its National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), has acknowledged such a situation. The BKP is not exempted from this reality. In earlier conversations with BKP members, they mentioned that their lives have become more difficult during the imposition of the ECQ (Tadem et al. 2020). Imposition of the ECQ and impact on BKP members During the ECQ, BKP members found it difficult to earn a living. Most, if not all, were dependent on their daily income to meet their basic necessities. At the same time, they also look for different ways on how to survive during the governmentimposed lockdown to stop the spread of COVID-19. Marivic shared the hardships her family experienced during the ECQ. She narrated that when President Rodrigo Duterte announced that no one should leave the house, this immediately raised concerns as not all in the community were able to stock food due to the lack of income (Atacador 2020). In addition, the cramped and tight design of their houses was not conducive to stay in for long periods due to the unbearable heat; if they will not go out, they will get sick. In the meantime, in order to get by and address immediate food needs, her neighbors decided to sell commodities from their houses. This, however, was not sustainable as people in their community have no jobs to begin with. As a beneficiary of the government’s conditional cash transfer (CCT) program (or more popularly known as the 4Ps), Marivic was able to use the small amount she receives to buy one sack of rice. However, their primary source of income comes from her husband’s itinerant selling of taho.4 During the ECQ, her husband was not able to engage in this activity, and this became a cause of worry for the family. With the shift to modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ), her husband was able to sell taho, but remains worried for his own safety. Other BKP members are also able to return to their work, but only for a number of limited workdays. During the ECQ, Sherlito Conde5 served as a barangay volunteer (Conde 2020). His task was to monitor the situation on the ground by checking and recording the temperature of the people who go in and out of the area. He also takes note of nonresidents who enter their area, especially those who are not familiar to him. Despite 4 Taho is a soy-based delicacy made from soft tofu, with tapioca pearls and syrup as additional ingredients. 5 Mr. Sherlito Conde is also a resident of Towerville, City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan and is the secretary of BKP.
