There is a lack of clarity regarding who is included in this ecosystem of actors and how these actors experience the complexity of providing community-level care in the context of a public health emergency, despite the fact that community-based health actors' activities are widely acknowledged as being essential to pandemic response [1]. The purpose of this study was to describe the real-world experiences of community-based health workers during the COVID-19 epidemic in the Philippines and to find new ways to assist these vital members of the medical community [2]. Employees of a non-governmental organisation with roots in the Philippines participated in virtual semi-structured interviews to talk about their COVID-19 pandemic experiences [3]. A mixed inductive-deductive coding procedure was used to evaluate the data thematically, guided by Toronto’s definition of an ethic [4]. Caution Participants' lived experiences were influenced by discourses on fear, caring, and the interplay of these two emotions. Participants described their daily experiences with dread [5].
