The year 2020 has been plagued by different challenges.
The year will perhaps be most remembered for the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting local and global lockdowns and in turn, the lockdown's effect on the livelihood of many people all over the world.
For the Philippines, the country has also faced the eruption of the Taal Volcano earlier in the year.
This has caused many residents living near the volcano, as well as those living in the nearby provinces, to be displaced due to the volcanic activity and ashfall.
Once more, livelihood has been affected as tourism in the area took a huge hit.
Also, events such as location weddings in the neighboring areas of Tagaytay, some parts of Cavite and Batangas have been affected.
This left hotels, restaurants, and many other places without any income.
And then towards the end of the year, the country was battered by back-to-back typhoons, Rolly and Ulysses.
Both have caused massive flooding and has destroyed homes and infrastructures like schools.
The typhoons also heavily affected farmers who were left reeling after having their fields submerged and their crops destroyed.
Throughout all of these, Filipinos have continued to prove that the bayanihan spirit is well and alive.
Corporations and private individuals have banded together to help those who have been affected.
Celebrities have also joined in and used their own platforms and privileged positions to help.
Many have used their social media accounts to direct their followers to where they can donate. Some even did their own fundraising, while others called on their friends and the brand they work with for help.
A few chose to use money from their own pockets or offered their special skills to various causes.
