In today's modern world, media possesses the power of differentiating and combining the other lenses of our worldview. More importantly, its enormous significance in our everyday lives. It is a tool to share various information and knowledge regarding of what is currently happening around the world. One of the most indispensable functions of media is to educate society about the current situation where everything can happen such as catastrophic events, economic issues, politics and other current relevant news.

Currently,we are experiencing Corona Virus as known as COVID-19 due to this, we are currently unavailable to get along of what is happening outside our private domicile since the implementation of Enhanced Community Quarantine.
Without mass media, we wouldn't t know what’s going on in the world because there would be no news. We wouldn’t be able to listen to our favorite songs, watch our favorite TV shows, or connect with people using social media. Ergo, we completely acknowledge the full implications and importance of media especially during this time of crisis. Media helps us to reach and address a large target group. It encompasses television, radio and as well as internet in order to be aware of our surroundings. However, going by the recent trends of how some media organizations have become biased we can assume that we are living in changing times where we cannot totally rely on one kind of media for our information. Therefore, like mathematics and other courses, the media require us to learn and use our critical thinking skills considering to the fact that you cannot simply rely on something in a narrow viewpoint and look for different resources to distinguish facts and fake news for the reason that media interpret our world that gives ideas and values to us.
What are the impacts or effects of the COVID-19 in our global economy? Nowadays, the panic and fear are leading to sharp market corrections and fears of prompting a global recession. Due to COVID-19 virus there are a massive economical and political issue concerning these problems, one of this is the labor movement is facing unprecedented moments with the virus outbreak.

Working in a corporation including the private sectors have been canceled and postponed due to this it will have a great impact in the good and services every factories and corporations that would affect our economical state.
Should we isolate our country, our money/funds in order to gain control of and thwart the spread of the virus within our own state, while collaborating with other countries on a vaccine that would protect people from the virus and a cure for people?
We should. Governments can and must insist that, surveillance is a critical component and is used to detect cases of COVID-19 as well as to understand the disease dynamics and trends and identify hotspots of disease transmission and implement projects for infection prevention control.There are several efforts worldwide to develop a vaccine for COVID-19. Outside U.S.,Norway’s preparedness and innovations and other groups are also funding multiple development efforts worldwide. These efforts are supported mostly by public money, and each one should be considered as a global public good. As of today money were allocated to various sector of government in order to resolve this problem. Funds for health services in the P4.1-trillion national budget for 2020 that the House of Representatives approved on Friday were slashed by about P10 billion, even as the country is facing a polio epidemic as well as dengue and measles outbreaks that have claimed the lives of more than a thousand people, mostly children.
Response and impact of COVID-19 on religion. Any large assembly of potentially infected persons during a pandemic, regardless of purpose, poses public health risks and governments may act reasonably to protect their citizens from endangerment. the Catholic , Buddhist and Protestant churches around the world suspended religious gatherings. Many Episcopal and Catholic dioceses have recommended older Christians to stay at home rather than attending Mass on Sundays. While by denomination, Lutheran Church has provided supplies to China, whence the disease originated; these include disinfection supplies, powered air-purifying respirators, face shields, gloves, coronavirus nucleic acid detection reagents, ventilators, patient monitors, syringe pumps, infusion pumps, and food to affected areas. Despite of religious organizations suspended in-person services, activities and events, Churches decided to aid in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 along with other nonprofits and state and federal agencies, helped disinfect first responders and provided the homeless shelter.
Moreover, COVID-19 somehow exceptionally exhibits the rearising social intuition of cultural norms. For instance, reconnecting with family due to the fact that Filipinos are family-oriented people. As well as strengthening our community spirit wherein a community coming together and helping one another to achieve a common, greater goal. Promoting a culture of of collaboration and empowerment of every individual through teamwork which leads teamwork. Which leads to an act of caring for each persons, reminding them to sanitized through washing their hands, disinfecting contaminated items and anything that destroy microorganisms on inert surfaces. Lastly, Filipinos are naturally cheerful and used to help each other everytime especially in this of crisis, despite of catastrophic events we never forget to smile and bring happiness to each and everyone.
In conclusion, evidently the outbreak of pandemic Covid-19 all over the world has distrupted the political, economic, social, religious and financial structures of the whole world. It also observed that the economic recovery from this fatal disease is only possible by 2021 because it has left severe impacts on the global economy and the countries face multiple difficulties to bring it back in a stable condition. Most of the nations are going through recession and collapse of economic structure. Concerning the serious and worsening conditions all over the world, nations need cooperation and coordination among themselves including the help and mature as well as sensible behaviour of people to effectively fight against Coronavirus. Otherwise, because of the globalized and connected world, wrong actions and policies taken by any state will leave a severe impact on other countries as well. This is not the time of political point-scoring and fight with each other rather it is high time for states to cooperate, coordinate, and help each other to defeat this fatal pandemic first for saving the global economic and financial structure.
