Each resident is entitled to 1,000 pesos ($20), with a limit of 4,000 pesos ($80) per household. Some 24 million people in Manila and nearby provinces remain under strict lockdown, the longest in the world, as the worst COVID-19 surge in Southeast Asia continues to hammer the country's healthcare system. The Philippines has confirmed more than 813,000 cases of COVID-19 so far, with nearly one in four people being tested turning out positive. (Photo by Ezra Acayan/Getty Images)
