The workers joined the ranks of 300 Philippine Airlines employees who were terminated because of the flag carrier’s losses primarily from travel bans and a slump in passenger demand caused by Covid-19.In February, 595,000 fewer passengers were recorded at three of the four terminals of Ninoy Aquino International Airport , according to the Manila International Airport Authority.

Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez said the industries taking a hit from supply-chain disruptions caused by Covid-19 included aerospace, airlines, auto parts, bananas, footwear, garments, and iron and steel. He pointed out that Wuhan and Hubei accounted for only 1 percent of the Philippines’ trade with China. Last year, China was the country’s top trading partner — the biggest source of imports and the third-largest export market.

A total of 734 Filipino workers in Macau have been displaced due to the outbreak in the Chinese special administrative region, according to Tutay.
