The study employed a mixed research methodology where data was collected from 226 households using survey, direct observation, and key informant interviews. Results indicated that most of the respondents' homes are being supplied by the local electric and water utilities, and about a third of homes were built with concrete. The study also found that despite that there were only about a third of the households without a college degree holder, the pandemic was a challenge due to job losses and diminished income, especially during the lockdown. Despite their living standards and educational attainment, urban poor communities were vulnerable and affected by the economic impacts of COVID-19.

Philippines for the period 2016-2018. Extension services and activities were categorised as skills training, advocacy and outreach programs. Results found that the extent of implementation was moderate. Indicators on the outcomes of skills training were agreed by the respondents, while advocacy and outreach were strongly agreed. Indicators on the impact of skills training on social aspects are strongly agreed upon while economic aspects are agreed upon. The impact of advocacy and outreach programs on social and economic aspects were strongly agreed upon. Likewise, the outcomes of skills training have no relationship on both the social and economic impacts, while advocacy and outreach programs do have a relationship on the social and environmental impacts. Recommendations were proposed to enhance further the extension services and activities of the electrical and electronics engineering programs.
