This is part of LRMC’s business continuity management to strengthen the disaster preparedness of LRT-1 operations and surrounding communities through resources, expertise, and facilities sharing.

With businesses being allowed to operate at full capacity for Alert Level 1 areas, for example, we see more people going back to work physically, students attending face-to-face classes, or people being allowed to travel without regard to age and even comorbidities.

The never-ending adjustments have impacted the way people live, and among them, the people who have been most affected by stress were the frontliners who have to face the virus head-on.
