Abstract

The Philippines COVID-19 Households Survey represents an important part of the World Bank’s real time monitoring of COVID-19 impacts along with firm and community surveys. It aims to assess the impact of the pandemic on households’ food security and welfare, their coping strategies, education, socio-emotional state, and public policy responses. A survey firm carried out phone surveys (based on a sample frame that the firm has maintained) and self-administered web surveys facilitated by Telecommunication Firms’ (Telcos) text blasts and social media advertisement campaigns distributing the web link to the survey questions. The survey instrument and procedures have been designed in accordance with the best practices laid out by the World Bank’s COVID-19 methodology and measurement task force. The average length of the survey was 30-40 minutes and were rolled out during key periods at the course of the pandemic.

Sampling procedure

The mixed method combining both phone and web-based surveys was employed to ensure coverage of individuals from different socio-economic backgrounds. In the self-administered online survey (CAWI), respondents received notifications through text blast and social media ads. The text blast was coordinated by the National Economic Development Authority through the National Telecommunications Commission. In the other hand, the phone survey (CATI) specifically targeted to lower income households from an existing list of the partner survey firm with a target sample of 3,000 respondents.

Sampling deviation

In rounds 2 and 3, the survey was limited to phone interviews (CATI) from the panel of 5,049 respondents in round 1. Target number of respondents was 3,000.

The team decided to simplify the methodology in the succeeding rounds due to resource constraints.

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Telephone Interview [cati]

Research instrument

The questionnaire had core modules that were collected in each round and additional modules on focus topics. Following are the topics covered: 1) Demographics and housing characteristics (round 1) 2) Knowledge of COVID-19: awareness and behavior (round 1) 3) Government action (rounds 1, 2) 4) Access to transportation (rounds 1, 2) 5) Access to food (rounds 1, 2) 6) Access to health services (rounds 1, 2) 7) Access to education (rounds 1) 8) Access to finances (rounds 1) 9) Employment and income sources (rounds 1) 10) Coping mechanisms and safety nets (rounds 1)

Cleaning operations

Initial data cleaning was done by the survey firm in close coordination with the World Bank team. Consistency checks and formatting was done further by the World Bank team during the analysis of the data.

Following were the final sample for each round: Round 1 - 9,448 Round 2 - 1,805 Round 3 - 2,122

According to preliminary data between January and September 2023, 0.5 percent of deaths in the Philippines were identified as caused by the COVID-19 virus. COVID-related deaths peaked in 2021 with a share of 9.7 percent.

As of May 3, 2023, approximately 4.1 million people had been confirmed as infected with the COVID-19 virus in the Philippines. Of those, over four million had recovered and around 66.4 thousand died.

Vaccination rollout in the Philippines
The government’s vaccination drives successfully inoculated over 71 million Filipinos, surpassing the initial target of 70 million. This represented about 77 percent of the total eligible population to receive the vaccine. As of June 2022, the National Capital Region accounted for the highest share of the population that have been fully vaccinated from the virus, followed by Region 4-A.

Hybrid shopping behavior Lockdown restrictions across the country forced consumers to turn to e-commerce channels and digital payment systems to prevent themselves from contracting the virus. A survey revealed that about 46 percent of respondents in the Philippines were first social media shoppers in 2021.

Philippines recorded 1339248 Coronavirus Recovered since the epidemic began, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition, Philippines reported 50351 Coronavirus Deaths. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for Philippines Coronavirus Recovered.

In past 24 hours, Philippines, Asia had N/A new cases, N/A deaths and N/A recoveries.

The coronavirus COVID-19, which originated in Wuhan, China, has spread worldwide. Across the different regions in the world, the number of cases is continuously increasing. As of May 3, 2023, Quezon City reported over 277 thousand cases of COVID-19 – the highest among other cities and provinces in the Philippines.

Lesser restrictions in major cities Despite having the highest number of COVID-19 cases among cities and provinces nationwide, Quezon City was placed under Alert Level 1 for the month of June 2022 – the lowest alert level status for the pandemic. This meant freer movements across populations and full capacity of most establishments. The alert level status will be updated depending on the possible rise of new cases. The lowering down of restriction level was implemented after the vaccination target of 71 million was met. As of July 2022, over 71 million people have already been fully vaccinated from COVID, with over 15 million having received a booster dose.

Unmasking
The possibility of lifting the mandatory wearing of face masks in the country towards the end of 2022 was raised if the government successfully vaccinates 90 million of its 110 million population. In addition, the Philippine government will also start encouraging its population to take the booster shot, in efforts to control the spread of the Omicron subvariant. As of July 2022, the National Capital Region accounted for the highest share of the population with booster shots.

To estimate county of residence of Filipinx healthcare workers who died of COVID-19, we retrieved data from the Kanlungan website during the month of December 2020.22 In deciding who to include on the website, the AF3IRM team that established the Kanlungan website set two standards in data collection. First, the team found at least one source explicitly stating that the fallen healthcare worker was of Philippine ancestry; this was mostly media articles or obituaries sharing the life stories of the deceased. In a few cases, the confirmation came directly from the deceased healthcare worker's family member who submitted a tribute. Second, the team required a minimum of two sources to identify and announce fallen healthcare workers. We retrieved 86 US tributes from Kanlungan, but only 81 of them had information on county of residence. In total, 45 US counties with at least one reported tribute to a Filipinx healthcare worker who died of COVID-19 were identified for analysis and will hereafter be referred to as “Kanlungan counties.” Mortality data by county, race, and ethnicity came from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).24 Updated weekly, this dataset is based on vital statistics data for use in conducting public health surveillance in near real time to provide provisional mortality estimates based on data received and processed by a specified cutoff date, before data are finalized and publicly released.25 We used the data released on December 30, 2020, which included provisional COVID-19 death counts from February 1, 2020 to December 26, 2020—during the height of the pandemic and prior to COVID-19 vaccines being available—for counties with at least 100 total COVID-19 deaths. During this time period, 501 counties (15.9% of the total 3,142 counties in all 50 states and Washington DC)26 met this criterion. Data on COVID-19 deaths were available for six major racial/ethnic groups: Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black, Non-Hispanic Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, Non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native, Non-Hispanic Asian (hereafter referred to as Asian American), and Hispanic. People with more than one race, and those with unknown race were included in the “Other” category. NCHS suppressed county-level data by race and ethnicity if death counts are less than 10. In total, 133 US counties reported COVID-19 mortality data for Asian Americans. These data were used to calculate the percentage of all COVID-19 decedents in the county who were Asian American. We used data from the 2018 American Community Survey (ACS) five-year estimates, downloaded from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) to create county-level population demographic variables.27 IPUMS is publicly available, and the database integrates samples using ACS data from 2000 to the present using a high degree of precision.27 We applied survey weights to calculate the following variables at the county-level: median age among Asian Americans, average income to poverty ratio among Asian Americans, the percentage of the county population that is Filipinx, and the percentage of healthcare workers in the county who are Filipinx. Healthcare workers encompassed all healthcare practitioners, technical occupations, and healthcare service occupations, including nurse practitioners, physicians, surgeons, dentists, physical therapists, home health aides, personal care aides, and other medical technicians and healthcare support workers. County-level data were available for 107 out of the 133 counties (80.5%) that had NCHS data on the distribution of COVID-19 deaths among Asian Americans, and 96 counties (72.2%) with Asian American healthcare workforce data. The ACS 2018 five-year estimates were also the source of county-level percentage of the Asian American population (alone or in combination) who are Filipinx.8 In addition, the ACS provided county-level population counts26 to calculate population density (people per 1,000 people per square mile), estimated by dividing the total population by the county area, then dividing by 1,000 people. The county area was calculated in ArcGIS 10.7.1 using the county boundary shapefile and projected to Albers equal area conic (for counties in the US contiguous states), Hawai’i Albers Equal Area Conic (for Hawai’i counties), and Alaska Albers Equal Area Conic (for Alaska counties).20

As of March 12, 2020, there were 52 confirmed cases of coronavirus COVID-19 in the Philippines. Of these, 34 cases occurred through local transmission, which included direct exposure to known coronavirus COVID-19 carrier. In addition, infected persons had a travel history to China, South Korea, Australia, UAE, Indonesia, United States, United Kingdom, Taiwan, and Switzerland.

Project Tycho datasets contain case counts for reported disease conditions for countries around the world. The Project Tycho data curation team extracts these case counts from various reputable sources, typically from national or international health authorities, such as the US Centers for Disease Control or the World Health Organization. These original data sources include both open- and restricted-access sources. For restricted-access sources, the Project Tycho team has obtained permission for redistribution from data contributors. All datasets contain case count data that are identical to counts published in the original source and no counts have been modified in any way by the Project Tycho team, except for aggregation of individual case count data into daily counts when that was the best data available for a disease and location. The Project Tycho team has pre-processed datasets by adding new variables, such as standard disease and location identifiers, that improve data interpretability. We also formatted the data into a standard data format. All geographic locations at the country and admin1 level have been represented at the same geographic level as in the data source, provided an ISO code or codes could be identified, unless the data source specifies that the location is listed at an inaccurate geographical level. For more information about decisions made by the curation team, recommended data processing steps, and the data sources used, please see the README that is included in the dataset download ZIP file.

Tracking how people’s lives are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can enable policymakers to better understand the situation in their countries and make data-driven policy decisions. To respond to this need, IPA implemented the RECOVR panel survey to facilitate comparisons, document real-time trends of policy concern, and inform decision-makers about the communities that are hardest-hit by the economic toll of the pandemic. IPA has rolled out the RECOVR survey in Burkina Faso, Colombia, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Metro Mexico City, the Philippines, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Zambia. We document severe negative shocks to employment, income and food security, and identify how families are caring for and educating their children during extended school closures.

As of April 2, 2020, there were 1,603 males and 1,030 female patients who had novel coronavirus COVID-19 in the Philippines. It is estimated that a maximum of one million people would lose their jobs in the Philippines due to the enhanced community quarantine within the Luzon Island of the Philippines. The Luzon-enhanced community quarantine is a total lockdown, restricting the movement of the population with exceptions, in response to the growing pandemic of COVID-19 in the country from March 17 to mid-April, 2020.
