At present, the epidemic in the Philippines has been effectively controlled. 72.8 1% of the Philippine target population was vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. Due to the continuous decline in the number of infected people and the increase in vaccination coverage, the Philippines now belongs to the "lowest risk" category of COVID-19 cases.

Even though the number of infected people in COVID-19 is "very low" at present, President Duterte is not prepared to cancel the mandatory wearing of masks to cope with the possible long-standing COVID-19 epidemic or possible virus variants.

In parallel with the opening up, Duterte's "Ten Policies for Economic Recovery" covers many aspects, such as medical care, education, transportation, legislation, etc., and aims to ensure that the Philippine economy will accelerate its recovery from the damage caused by the new crown epidemic through the efforts of the whole country.

Looking at the Philippines as a whole, the first areas to recover are Manila, where a large amount of foreign capital has flowed in under the open support policy, and Cebu, where the focus of tourism is after the influx of tourists.

As Lu Xiao mentioned before, due to the repeated destruction of the epidemic, real estate in all parts of the Philippines is in the lowest stage, and the best time to bargain-hunting is now, and Manila and Cebu are the best starting points.
