BRIEF INTRODUCTION
For the longest time, Filipinos have overcome natural disasters like typhoon,
earthquakes, fires, floods, volcanic eruptions and others and we always have each
other to make it through. The innate nature of being a Filipino is to be both
emphatic and sympathetic to any hardships experienced by our fellowmen. And in
this time of pandemic, no is spared; all are affected. However, everyone wants to
help one another, because as a member of our community, we are bound to
support those who are in need in our society even if we, ourselves, are also in need
of help.

International Federation of Social Workers, “Social work is a practice-based
profession and an academic discipline that promotes social change and
development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation of people.
Principles of social justice, human rights, collective responsibility, and respect for
diversities are central to social work. Underpinned by theories of social work, social
sciences, humanities, and indigenous knowledge, social work engages people and
structures to address life challenges and enhance wellbeing. The above definition
may be amplified at national and/or regional levels”. Thus, it is an academic
discipline and profession that concerns individual adjustment to his/her

CASE 1: Ana is a senior high school student who, like everybody, is affected by the
COVID-19 pandemic. She graduated with honors in a virtual graduation of her
school. His father, an OFW, whom she has not seen for five years was expected to
attend the graduation ceremony but failed to come home due to the pandemic. Her
mother, a typical housewife that does buy and sell for additional income was
considered Persons Under Investigation (PUI) due to the virus and had to be
quarantined. Unfortunately, she needed to be hospitalized eventually. Now, all
alone in the house being the only child, and with all these unfortunate
circumstances happening to her, she felt that her world was falling apart.
Moreover, she started blaming herself and developed the idea that she was cursed.
Consequently, she started to disconnect herself from the outside world, even with
her friends. She was afraid that others might be included in her “curse” of misery
and misfortune if she talked to them.
CASE 2:
Due to the pandemic, the government imposed nationwide quarantine which
resulted to increase of domestic violence .One of the victims of domestic violence is
Maria, a 15-year-old girl, who also acts as the mother to her eight siblings after
her mother passed away. Her father earns a living as a cook in the school canteen.
But due to the pandemic crisis, her father lost his job and there was no source of
income for the family. What makes Maria suffers the most is when they are all
beaten up by their father especially when he is under the influence of alcohol. Her
father hits her and her siblings when she cannot give a single penny to him, and
when there is no food to eat.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
You may not notice them, but social workers are everywhere. Just like the
variety of individuals, families, and communities so is the field of social work. They
can be found in every angle of our community life because it includes a variety of
specialization areas. Social work career paths look different; it includes a variety of
disciplines and workplace settings depending on the type of social work
professionals want to conduct.
DISCUSSION
Going through all these world health issues, we can see that frontlines are
everywhere. Frontlines do not only include doctors, nurses, and police offers or
army personnel but also those individuals who are trying to win this war against
COVID-19 Pandemic. Social workers are also considered frontlines. Social works
can be found in many faces and areas of specialization. Social workers perform
their roles while bounded by the values, rights, responsibilities, and
accountabilities which determine their ethical behavior towards their clients.
