The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the interdependent systems of the Philippines urge leadership approaches to evolve in order to address the challenges of containment, mitigation, and response. Key decision-makers must work through a whole-of-society approach to ensure the safety and security of communities.
This roundtable discussion will highlight the importance of harmonizing and implementing evidence informed national actions, and establishing a list of priority actions by local government units in close collaboration and alignment with the National Task Force Against COVI-19’s mission and program of implementation.
Join us as we listen to the voices from the frontline, as we draw on the experiences of our local government leaders, build on their practices, align them with the COVID-19 National Action Plan, and explore public-private partnership.
Moderator: Prof. Ernesto D. Garilao, Chairman and President, Zuellig Family Foundation
