Description
Summary:The economic condition of a specific country has been defied amid the COVID-19 crisis. Yet, post-pandemic community behavior has not been analyzed for probable institutionalization to help gradually recover the economy. As a result, this paper aimed to address that gap by examining the public response to and involvement in the enhanced community quarantine and vaccination in the Bicol Region. This study used the quantitative research method through a causal-correlational research design. The findings indicate that institutionalization of post-pandemic community behavior is highly likely due to the Bicolanos’ active involvement in community activities during the implementation of the ECQ and vaccination in the region. Kurt Lewin’s change management model and the inclusive socio-economic and political institutions model can be used to execute policies that the government demands to implement pluralistically. However, the policymaking body may consider the age, average household monthly income, and level of awareness of local people when formulating post-pandemic community behavioral policies because these variables significantly influence their community involvement decisions.
