Once read, comprehensively answer the following guide questions:

1. What are your key take-aways (lessons learned) from this case? How do you relate them in the Philippine Setting? 
2. This case considers the pandemic a disruption. Summarize why the case is turning to digital transformation as a solution for sustainable economic recovery. Look for other sources (online) that will support your summary. 
3. In the case, it was mentioned that "digital transformation requires essential digital competencies. They include digital skills, digital infrastructure and a business environment favorable to them." Among the digital competencies that needs to be developed by both developing and developed countries, what for you is the most important to be developed first by any country of company? 
4. If there is one thing that companies in the Philippines should prioritize, it should be digital transformation. Still, a number of companies still accept the false hope of going back to the old normal. How should local companies both traditional and progressive look at digital transformation? Should it be done for all or only for those who are ready?
