As of today, there are already more than 70,000 recorded cases of COVID-19 in the Philippines. Although more than 24,000 have already recovered, the death toll stands at 1,871. The University of the Philippines (UP) predicts that the number of cases will continue to rise and may even be over 100,000 by the end of August.
With what’s happening right now, it is probable that each of us has a family, friend, or know anyone who may have contracted the infection, and some of whom may have tragically passed away due to the virus. Our hearts go to each and every one of those who have been affected by this health crisis.
