Abstract
COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a new coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2. The prevalence of the virus on a global scale led to a global health crisis which prompted countries like the Philippines to address the issue through the implementation of various health-related protocols, legislative laws, and COVID-19 mass vaccination programs for the establishment of herd immunity. Such government actions are undeniably significant in resolving the booming positive cases but the subjects (or who should receive the services) are, to some extent, unclear and overlooked the situation of ‘Others’ – the homeless. The author argues that the Philippine government, other social institutions, and organizations must consider the well-being of this group as one of the hidden disadvantaged individuals amid the crisis.
