Viral stories of Pinoys here and abroad abound online. Another aspect about Filipinos that often go viral is their resilience in times of crisis. Many have shown that they can make it through a pandemic. Filipinos abroad have also shown this kind of resiliency.

One example of Filipino resilience is how people looked for ways and means to live after they lost their jobs because of unexpected circumstances. For instance, a stewardess turned to online selling when she lost her job.

Artists, like Gladys Guevarra, also put her skills in making Filipino delicacies to good use.
