Hence, more than four months since the declaration of the lockdown and enhanced
community quarantine last March 2020, the Zero Extreme Poverty (ZEP) 2030 Cebu
Convergence of LNGOs/CSOs warned that COVID-19 exacerbated existing vulnerabilities of
affected communities, which are receiving but minimum support and, in most cases, have
received nothing at all. Furthermore, if this situation continues in the next coming months,
ZEP said in a joint statement, there will be a humanitarian crisis across hard lockdown areas
in Central Visayas.
Pertinently, As of 04 August 2020, there are 16, 145 confirmed cases in the entire
Central Visayas, with Cebu City alone recording 9, 075. Thus, the spike in numbers puts
Cebu City and other at-risk areas in Central Visayas as a new hotspot of COVID19 cases in
the country. Cebu City now has more cases than Manila's largest city, Quezon City, which
has about 6, 880. It is also outpacing other cities in terms of the number of cases according
to the Department of Health (DOH). Since July, the DOH, supported by the World Health
Organization (WHO), is sending more doctors and other resources to Cebu City as many
patients are on waiting lists, considering all major hospitals are close to reaching full
capacity. Even big hospitals in Cebu City that handle coronavirus cases are now facing
challenges in managing the surge of local transmission cases. In the last week of June,
Cebu City, with a population of nearly 1 million, was placed again under strict stay-at-home
orders.
However, the dwindling provision of lifesaving aid, limited access to financial support
and other livelihood opportunities prompted seven LNGOs/CSOs and one private
organization under the ZEP Convergence to call for action to support as they struggled to
supplement local government’s response and recovery interventions to support isolated and
affected families. The said convergence is comprised of the following organizations: Central
Visayas Network of NGOs (CENVISNET), Fellowship for Organizing Endeavors, Inc.
(FORGE), A2D Project-Research Group for Alternatives to Development, Impact, Coalition
for Better Education, Inc. (CBE), Cebu University of Southern Philippines Foundation -
Community Extension Services (USPF-CES), FundLife Philippines and Ramon Aboitiz
Foundation, Inc. (RAFI).
With a development goal of uplifting one million Filipino families from extreme
poverty, the ZEP Convergence was established in Cebu last August 2019. However, early
this year, the priority of the most of the LNGOs and CSOs members has dramatically shifted
to the immediate provision of emergency support to the COVID19 severely affected
communities in the Metro Cebu and other urban cities in Central Visayas.
