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.
