FAO expresses its solidarity with the Filipino people in light of the current situation related to CoViD-19. The Country Office enjoins the nation in complying with the national government's instructions for stringent, but necessary, protocols to control and stem the spread of this disease.


In line with this, FAO Philippines is implementing aligned measures to ensure the safety of our staff from CoViD-19, including those that may impact office and field work. These measures will remain in force until such time that the situation normalizes as determined by authorities.

However, we remain open for business, operating from various locations, and we continue to work with and support the government during this crisis.


We assure our partners, donors, and stakeholders that we will continue to deliver on our mandates amidst these trying times and, through our various programmes and initiatives, complement the government's efforts to address the impact of CoViD-19
