Millions more jobless in the Philippines amid COVID-19 lockdown
The government implemented one of the world’s strictest and longest lockdowns amid the coronavirus pandemic.
More than 2.5 million Filipinos have lost their jobs during the two-month coronavirus lockdown in the country.
And millions more could be out of work by the end of the year.
Some have found odd jobs to get by but others have been forced to beg for food.
