This study looks into the economy of Central Visayas, the Philippines in times of pandemic, specifically looking into the risk and vulnerabilities of the economic sector. Data collection was done through a review of records from government agencies and presented descriptively. The results show that the economy of Central Visayas was thriving despite the threatening pandemic. In terms of trade, the region remains one of the top contributors in terms of Gross Domestic Product, however, labor has been greatly affected due to the displacement of workers which led to unemployment and increased poverty incidence.
