Neslie Marie M. Acain and Steffi Dawn C. Ilagan Who would have thought or predicted that a pandemic will eventually affect and change the way we live our daily lives? Almost all, if not all corners of the world have been hit with this Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID -19). Whether we like it or not, we now live in the world of “new normal”. This COVID-19 changed all of our lives: from the way we think, communicate, work, move, and even plan out our various activities and travel goals. There seems to be these hidden barriers that separate us from one another and keep us contained in our respective homes, wherein touching others and even our own faces has a great potential of becoming a taboo. Restrictions we never imagined and lockdowns we never wished for, affected our day-to-day living. Wearing of face masks and face shields became part of everyone’s “outfit of the day” (OOTD) goals. And as we continue living our daily lives, we are preoccupied with the safety protocols that we ought to observe every now and then. COVID-19 has indeed reshaped us, our society, our world. While communities around the world respond to this pandemic and people are affected in different ways, the spread of COVID-19 has brought about social consequences and psychological sufferings to individuals. We are no longer shocked with daily news of COVID-19 cases spiking up not just in the Philippines but in the world tally as well. Numbers relating to COVID-19 cases play vigorously and they continue to scare every single one of us, with the fear that we might become the next victim of such virus. However, despite the bleak outlook the pandemic has blanketed the world in, with the new strains and ongoing developments of COVID-19, many organizations and scientists have nevertheless, been working tirelessly to find the vaccine and hopefully restore normalcy, or at least, a new version of normal, to the world where people can once again do the most mundane tasks like gathering in crowds and traveling safely without having the looming threat of contracting the virus. And 2020, with months to spare before it ended its dreadful run, gave the world a speck of hope that maybe this nightmare of a pandemic will be soon coming to an end as pharmaceutical company, Pfizer along with Moderna, announced the high efficacy rate of a vaccine they had been working on. Of course, normally, vaccines take almost a decade to really be fully developed - that is to say, all side effects are accounted for, countless of tests done to make it as reliable as can be -but because of the magnitude of the effect the pandemic has on the entire world, everyone has put a premium on expediting the process of developing vaccines. With the timeframe of development cut shorter than normal, also adding on the uniqueness of the virus and its contagiousness, the reception of this vaccine most definitely varies among everyone and has divided the world in terms of whether the aforementioned new COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and whether they should be vaccinated or not. 1 | MU Purple Hood Law Journal Volume 2 2021 Issue 1 COVID-19: The Four (4) Ws What is COVID-19? Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered virus. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Most people infected with COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 that can trigger what doctors call a respiratory tract infection which can affect either one’s upper respiratory tract (sinuses, nose, and throat) or lower respiratory tract (windpipe and lungs). It spreads the same way other coronaviruses do, mainly through person-to-person contact wherein infections can range from mild to deadly. When and Where were the first cases of COVID-19 reported? The first human cases of COVID-19 were first reported by officials in Wuhan City, China. In a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), retrospective investigations by Chinese authorities have identified human case with onset of symptoms in early December 2019.

MAYUGA APRIL 19, 2021 3 MINUTE READ WITH the lifting of the moratorium on new mining projects following the signing of EO 130 by President Duterte, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) is looking at granting new mining contracts that could generate additional revenues and boost the economy within the next five years. Mines and Geosciences Bureau Director Wilfredo G. Moncano said at least 100 new mining projects currently in the pipeline can generate additional revenue of P20 billion in the form of excise tax and another P1 billion in annual revenue in the form of royalty tax. These new mining projects can generate at least 42,000 new jobs in the mining sector which currently employs around 230,000 persons. While the new mining projects can generate 42,000 new jobs, the employment opportunity from the multiplier effect of 4 persons for every 1 person benefiting direct employment will give mining hosts the much-needed economic boost, officials noted. “In the memo that we submitted to the office of the President, with the lifting of Section 4 of E.O. 79, we estimate additional taxes of P20 billion and royalty of about P1 billion. Plus there will be about an additional P58 billion worth of export because most of the minerals are exported. We estimate 42,000 new employment,” Moncano said in a radio interview. Under the Phase 1 Priority Mining Projects, there are at least 35 mining projects that are a step or two steps away from gaining their Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA), he added.

    Children in Armed Conflict: Philippines

    CHILDREN IN ARMED CONFLICT: PHILIPPINES Processes and Lessons Learned | 2009-2017 Action Plan on the Recruitment and Use of Children in Armed Conflict United Nations and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front FOREWORD The successful implementation of the UN-MILF Action Plan was a significant milestone in the international community’s global commitment to fulfil the rights of children in situations of armed conflict. The eight-year implementation started in 2009 and ended in July 2017 with the disengagement of nearly 2000 children and the delisting of the MILF- BIAF from the annexes of the UN Secretary General’s Report. Reaching its completion was challenging and required tremendous effort by all involved. I am pleased to acknowledge the commitment of the Government of the Philippines and the MILF leadership toward ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Action Plan. Particular appreciation is also owed to the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General for Children and Armed Conflict for its oversight and guidance, and to the United Nations in the Philippines. We also recognize the large number of our civil society partners in Mindanao who worked tirelessly on the ground to achieve the results highlighted here. This report acknowledges their special contributions. This report is a valuable resource, locally and internationally, for understanding how to effectively implement a plan that has successfully stopped and now prevents recruitment and use of children by armed groups. However, while we celebrate this success, we must not forget that armed groups in Mindanao and many other locations around the world are still recruiting and using children in their struggles.

Changes to business models and consumer behavior, prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, have compressed many years’ worth of transformation and digitization into the space of several months. More people and more businesses around the world have access to real-time payments in more forms than ever before.
