Vulnerabilities in 'local moral worlds': COVID-19 provincial social work interventions

Abstract

Intending to contextualize vulnerabilities at the local level during COVID-19, this article reports an investigation of the social workers' interventions done in a Philippine province. Social workers as frontliners report on (i) the shift of interventions before and during COVID-19, (ii) the most vulnerable sector in their assigned areas, (iii) the problems in working out their field interventions, (iv) the emergence of creative programs and (v) key information to better improve or to have a more sustainable set of interventions in the long run.
