INTRODUCTION

As they say, "nothing is constant but change". When Covid-19 pandemic

discovered and spread throughout the world everything had change. The Economic
activity, our Educational system, our Lifestyle, and even our lives are started to change.
It is really true that nothing is constant but change. Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19)
seems to be affecting a lot of people. It is sad of how it effect on people's emotions as
well as their means of living or their economic activity (Li et al., 2020).

To stop the spread of this newly discovered contagious disease, numerous

countries around the world, including India, have imposed forced isolation and social
seclusion. Isolation and social separation can be substantial stressors that contribute to
broad changes in the populace's way of life hich greatly affects everyone feelings and
emotions (Hossain, Sultana, and Purohit, 2020). Thus, during the Covid 19 lockdown,
increased tension, dissatisfaction, alarm assaults, misfortune or unanticipated expansion
in hunger, a sleeping disorder, and despair were all accounted for.

According to a survey conducted in the Philippines, 37% of Filipinos reported that

the COVID-19 epidemic had an impact on their daily lives, emotions, and family lives
(Martha Jean Sanchez, 2020). Furthermore, the spread of the infection has had an impact
on professional life or courses of action, according to a survey in which 33 percent of
Filipino respondents admitted to having adjusted to the constraints and routine of the new
normal condition. The Philippines also suffered difficulty in paying their family unit due to
network isolation restrictions. And 38% claimed that their salary is above half someplace,
the most remarkable among six nations.

Covid pandemic affects the welfare of individuals throughout the world as well as
their occupations. Because of this epidemic, individuals confront numerous problems and
it impacts all areas. Many people on metropolitan networks were unable to work in
Cotabato City due to the rigorous isolation measures implemented here in the Philippines.
In Magpet, a few individuals who work in independent companies such as wholesale and
retail experience questions relating to the selling and selling of their products in different
urban areas, due to carefully isolated networking forces, the researcher therefore needed
to know how the pandemic affects emotions and their livelihoods or the economy in Sitio
Old Tico. Magpet, Cotabato.

This study aims to describe how the people of Sitio Old Tico, Manobo, Magpet,
Cotabato, affected by the Covid 19 pandemic emotionally and economically.

1. To determine the Emotional effects of the Pandemic to the respondents.

2. To determine the Economical effect of the Pandemic to the respondents.

Significance of the Study

The outcome of this study will specifically give benefits to the following:

For the students, this will give them an idea on how people from Sitio Old Tico is being
affected emotionally and economically.

For the government, this will provide them information and awareness to provide
possible support on the affected people in the area.

For the parents, this study will be beneficial on how to deal with their daily lives even
pandemic are still ongoing, and how to handle their situation. Also, they will be able to
monitor affected areas due to pandemic.

if they can do, for the student still become more productive and achiever in class even
pandemic are still ongoing.
Scope and Delimitation of the Study

This study covers the people of Sitio Old Tico, Manobo, Magpet, Cotabato, who
are highly affected in their emotional and economic aspect during pandemic. The said
respondents have a more difficulties in facing the said pandemic.

The researcher wanted to include the whole and other barangay for the study of
this research but due to limited time and money constraints, it was decided to focus only
to one Sitio on the said barangay.

 REVIEW OF RELATED LITE RATURE

This chapter presents the Review of Related Literature of the study which contains the
Emotional and Economical effects of Covid 19 pandemic.

Emotional

The newly discovered 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) in the Chinese town of

Wuhan was found in 2019, and rapidly spread to other parts of the world, causing a major
health catastrophe globally. Due to the epidemic, additional mental problems such as
tension, insecurity, worry, sadness and dread were forced onto individuals. The harm to
both physical and mental health and economics of COVID-19 is significant. Our lives are
affected by COVID-19 pandemic. Many of us are facing problems. Due to the epidemic,
additional mental problems such as tension, insecurity, worry, sadness and dread were
forced onto individuals. It can be uncomfortable, overwhelming and cause intense
emotions in adults and children. Public health measures such as social distances are
necessary to fight COVID-19 spread, but they can, however, make us feel alone and
alone, as well as increase stress and worry. For example, social distance might lead to
alienation and loneliness of people, as well as stress and anxiety. These measures are
nonetheless necessary to slow down COVID-19 dissemination (WHO 2020).

The formation of most recent infection subtypes from infection range appears to

be pandemics at intervals of 10–50 years. (Potter, 2001). With the worldwide population

becoming closer to animals, the most current diseases will likely be shared more often

with the human population. All our society can do is take care to act early if a harmful

disease is anticipated. In order to structure our social arrangements if and when it comes

again, we must always attempt to learn from the clues of ordinary events. Personal safety,

like face mask wears, rather than changes in general conduct tend to be covered in
pandemic outbreaks (Funk, Gilad, Watkins, & Jansen, 2009). Dr Hans Kluge said it is

important for us to check each other, to be able to talk to one other, to talk to and to be

aware of and responsive to all those who have specific mental health requirements due

to the negative effects of COVID-19, for example social distance. Instead of ignoring our

anxieties and concerns, individuals, families and governments should consider and

address them. The outbreak of Covid 19 has an important impact on the emotions of

individuals and their treatment. It has a huge impact on how people alter their daily

routine, especially in leisure and household activities, which leads to an increase and a

feeling of loneliness, frustration and desperation.

It has an influence on the individual and society, causing disruption, worry, stress,

stigma, and xenophobia. A pandemic is not simply medical. Individual behavior as a social

or communal unit has significant influence on pandemic dynamics, including intensity,

flow and after-effects. Regional lockdowns have been enforced to avoid a further spread

of the disease, due to the fast human-to-human transmission from SARS-CoV-2.

Isolation, social distance and shutdown of schools, jobs and leisure facilities are all kinds

of social distancing People are urged to stay at home to help break the transmission

chain. On the other hand, the tight restrictions certainly affected the social and mental

health of individuals in generalIn order to avoid the disease from spreading further on

social levels, as more individuals are compelled to isolate themselves at home, the

governments must adopt essential measures to promote mental health treatment

according to the advice of specialists. In his editorial, Professor Tiago Correia underlined

how worldwide health systems only come together to address the breakout of COVID-19,

which might have a significant influence on the treatment of other conditions like mental
health, which often deteriorates during a pandemic. There are several elements which

impact an individual who contributes to the health of the society and the psychological

condition differs from person to person.

A Lancet research shows that the loss of freedom, boredom, and insecurity of

separation from the loving ones may all contribute to decreasing mental health. To

overcome this, it is necessary to take individual and social actions. In the present global

context, as a result of the current global setting, children and adults both experience a

spectrum of emotions. They might be placed in a new environment that can affect their

health.

Economical

The outbreak COVID-19 can be a strong reminder that pandemics have happened

and can still occur in the past, like other rare calamities. We always have to be ready to

alleviate its consequences on society, whether or not we can avoid the emergence of

dangerous diseases. This pandemic had major economic consequences worldwide and

there seems to have been no shortage of any country (Jorda, et.al, 2020). This affects

the economy and society as a whole, leading to significant changes in the behavior of

companies and consumers. This special issue may be a worldwide attempt to address a

variety of social pandemic issues. Due to the rapid spread of COVID-19, a range of public

health interventions including social distancing have been undertaken throughout the

globe (Fong et al. (2020)). Building on social distance, public meetings and lock-down

procedures in a lot of countries, allowing only needed trips, were ordered as a result of
businesses, schools, community center, and nongovernmental organization (NGOs). The

objective is to allow governments to "flatten the curve," that is to say to reduce from one

day to the next the number of cases associated with COVID-19 so as to prevent

exponential growth and therefore to lessen the medical burden via social distancing (John

Hopkins University, 2020).

Pandemics are large-scale infectious disease outbreaks that lead to a broad region

with high degree of death, while creating significant economic, social and political

disorder. Evidence indicates that in the previous century pandemics become more likely

due to increasing global travel and integration, urbanisation, land-use changes and

greater environmental exploitation (Jones et al. 2008; Morse 1995). The pandemic of

COVID-19 has led to a huge loss of human lives all across the world, providing an

unequaled threat to public health, food systems and the workforce. The economic and

social effect of the epidemic is devastating, with tens of millions of people at danger of

extreme poverty and an increase by up to 132 million by year's end, in the number of

under-nourished, now estimated at about 690 million. The epidemic has had a wide-

ranging impact on the food chain, exposing its vulnerability. Border closures, trade

restrictions, and confinement measures prohibit farmers from accessing markets,

including buying inputs and selling their produce, and agricultural laborers from harvesting

crops, disrupting local and international food supply chains and restricting access to

healthful foods. As a result, the way people act and respond to the current circumstance

has a huge influence. The epidemic has destroyed employment and endangered

countless lives. When individuals lose their employment, become sick or die, the food

security and nutrition of many men and women in low-income nations is endangered and
indigenous peoples are impacted hardest, particularly the most disadvantaged groups

including small farmers. Food security, public health, employment and work concerns

combine in the COVID-19 dilemma, in particular the health and safety of employees. In

overcoming the human dimension of the problem, it is crucial to comply with occupational

safety, safety and health standards and ensure access to decent employment and,

consequently, protection of labor rights. Immediate and deliberate measures to preserve

many lives and livelihoods must include extending social security to include universal

health care and financial help to those who are most vulnerable. Our towns are more

exposed than ever; instead of getting them locally, we rely on imports of vital commodities

like food, energy and medical equipment; and there are few preparatory steps for

epidemics. Efficiency and economic gain over safety seem to be a priority for our culture.

The epidemic might change this. It is also important to remember that the ideas on which

society is based (e.g., openness and global commerce) have brought many countries out

of poverty and built well-developed economies around the world. Our cultures are not

unlikely to withdraw from a number of them and therefore exacerbate global poverty.

This may alter as a result of the outbreak. It is also important to remember that the

ideas on which society is based with (e.g., openness and global commerce) have brought

many countries out of poverty and built well-developed economies around the world. Our

cultures are not unlikely to withdraw from a number of them and therefore exacerbate

global poverty. It is not unlikely that our societies will reverse some of them, leading to

growing worldwide poverty. The model takes two times of crisis, when some people will

be able to lower their income to maintain their consumption and use savings; then during

a recovery phase, families will save money to restore their depleted economies at pre-
crisis levels The impact of a lockout, taking into consideration the impact of

unemployment insurance (UI) and federal stimulus under the CARES Act, is measured

using the San Francisco Bay Area as a case study.

In emerging and developing countries, several ongoing research projects are

under way to evaluate COVID-19's economic impact. Due to large-scale company

closures, particularly among the low-income, national economies are projected to

decrease, leading to significant growth in unemployment and poverty rates. The aim of

this research is to evaluate at domestic containment socioeconomic impacts of COVID-

19. This method should not be designed to replace analyzes on the macro level, which

can better capture interaction between industries and nations or the impacts of aggregate

macro-economic data. The coping ability of households, its relevance and the increasing

resilience of multi-employment households can also be taken into consideration.

We are in the middle of the epidemic. Its long-term implications are extremely

difficult to anticipate. While the civilization has had several pandemics in the past, it is

difficult to assess the long-term economic, behavioral, or social consequences as these

elements have not been studied in the past. The most important historical pandemics of

the last millennium are frequently connected by the few studies done to future low returns

on assets (Jorda, Singh, & Taylor, 2020). For a period following an endemic, we tend to

become less interested in investing and more interested in saving our capital, resulting in

a slowed economic activity. Given this situation, in which preserving capital means

negative returns, it's unlikely that we'll be as cautious as we have been in the past. The

COVID-19 epidemic has driven numerous enterprises to close, causing enormous

disruptions in various industry sectors. Retailers and manufacturers face numerous short-
term issues, including those related to health and safety, the supply chain, the workforce,

cash flow, consumer demand, sales, and marketing. The removal of these impediments

does not, however, promise a bright future, or a future at all, since we are in a quite unlike

world before the breakout once we have recovered from the pandemic. There are no

numerous markets, especially for travel and hospitality. All corporate operations are

designed to prioritize and optimize expenses while delay activity which in the present

climate will generate value. Companies have enforced a prolonged freeze, especially

start-ups. At the same time, online communication, online entertainment, and online

shopping are seeing unprecedented growth.

Companies have prolonged frozen, in particular start-ups. At the same time, online

communications, online entertainment and online commerce see their revenue source

and lifestyle develop unparalleled. Furthermore, 13 articles cover diverse industry

divisions (e.g. tourism, retail and higher education), consumer and corporation

transformations, moral concerns, and representatives and government viewpoints. There

had always been fear of massive outbreaks. The discussion was not about a dangerous

disease, but about the eventuality for unused inflammation (Stöhr & Esveld, 2004).The

events that occur in flu pandemics are natural occurrences that cannot be avoided.

Theoretical Framework

According to Kimberly Chriscaden in her theory entitled Impact of COVID-19 on

people's livelihoods, The epidemic of COVID-19 led to a huge loss of human life

worldwide and poses an unparalleled challenge for public health, food systems and the

workforce. It is catastrophic that the virus has brought economic and societal damage.
COVID-19 immediately affected our day-to-day lives, companies, trade and worldwide

mobility. As the virus is so rapidly spreading from person to person, it is important to

diagnose the illness early to check its propagation. Most nations have lowered the

production of their commodities. This disease has an influence on a number of

businesses and sectors, including drug products, solar power, tourism, IT enterprises.

This illness has extensive repercussions for the everyday life of individuals and for the

global economy (Abid Haleem, Javaid, Vaishya 2020).
