Love in the time of COVID-19: Surviving a marriage may perhaps be one of the most laudable
feats in the world. Before a person marries, he or she experiences mostly jubilation and excitement
whenever he or he is getting married.

Couple exchanges vows in Bacolod hospital By CNN Philippines Staff Published Apr 12, 2020
8:53:27 PM Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 12) - The COVID-19 crisis has forced the cancellation
of a number of events, but one couple decided it should not stop them from beginning a life together.
In a social media post on Sunday, the Bacolod Adventist Medical Center shared the story of one their
hospital staff who decided to push through with her wedding, despite the COVID-19 crisis. The
hospital explained that she was set to get married in a ceremony in Cebu, but opted to have it in
Bacolod city instead, due to the enhanced community quarantine. The couple tied the knot in the
Bacolod Adventist Medical Center on Wednesday, practicing all precautionary measures and safety
protocols mandated by health authorities. "Truly, a testament that love, bound in God's glory, has
endless possibilities," the hospital said on social media. The hospital added that the face masks were
only removed so the couple could kiss to seal their vows. imagines himself or herself basking in the
promise of a life with a significant other. But at the moment a person recites the marital vows, he or
she becomes forever bound with his or her spouse in a relationship accompanied by innumerable
ordeals. In effect, surviving a marriage may sometimes feel like walking on a tightrope located a
hundred feet or more above the ground. Despite this, it can be very fulfilling especially in moments
when debacles are triumphantly hurdled, leading both spouses to a higher level of maturity. For this
reason, I guess that married life, in all its ups and downs is the best metaphor to describe my
experience with writing. In my innocent mind, I had always romanticized the idea of being a writer. I
used to think that writers are inexhaustible fountains of knowledge who thrive in the comforts of
their air-conditioned offices, wielding knowledge at their fingertips. It was only recently that I realized
that excellent writing can often be an excruciating endeavor, for it requires an unquestionable
commitment and an indefatigable spirit, the very elements required for a marriage to succeed.

Poverty and Inequality in the Philippines, and reducing poverty and inequality. It has been recurrent
challenges in the Philippines and have again come to the fore in the wake of the current global
financial crisis and rising food, fuel, and commodity prices experienced in 2008. The growth of the
economy has been characterized by boom and bust cycles, and current episodes of moderate
economic expansion have had limited impact on poverty reduction. Other reasons for the relatively
moderate poverty decline include the high rate of inequality across income brackets, regions, and
sectors; high population growth rates; and perennial occurrences of disasters and longstanding
conflicts in various regions, especially in Mindanao. Poverty a key development problem and devising
various strategies and programs for its reduction, the government is still confronting high levels of
poverty and hunger among its citizens. Long and persistent periods of high poverty may harm a
country’s development path as poverty itself becomes a drag to economic growth. In addition to the
slow decrease in poverty incidence, there has been mixed progress in addressing human development
concerns, particularly outcomes in education and health. The government has committed to achieving
the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) through pro-poor sustained economic growth as reflected
in the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) 2004–2010. However, efforts to meet the
MDGs and reduce poverty and inequality are constrained by weak implementation of reforms,
financing gaps and leakages, coordination failure, and governance concerns. Efforts to protect the
poor from the crisis and further reduce poverty must remain an important priority, as the number of
vulnerable sectors of the economy will increase if the crisis deepens. The government has laid out the
Philippine Economy Resiliency Plan, a P330 billion stimulus package consisting of increased allocations
for national agencies and government, corporate, and financial institutions for infrastructure
spending, corporate and individual tax breaks, and social protection and safety nets intended to
protect the poor from the impact of the crisis.
