Abstract: Aiming to contribute in managing the health crisis in attaining the Sustainable Development Goal 3, that is, ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages, this study described and analyzed the experiences of Filipinos from the Covid-19 terminologies and how these terms influenced their sociocultural behavior. Textual analysis and interviews were employed to gather and analyze the data. The Covid-19 terminologies were taken from the memos, news articles, and social media posts of local government units. These terminologies were validated in the Cambridge Dictionary, Oxford Dictionary, and Coronavirus Corpus. Results revealed that the experiences of the Filipinos from the Covid-19 terminologies pertain to the activities and functioning, especially in following the protocols and mental well-being that predominated the other types of wellbeing. Further, the experiences demonstrated the faith-based resiliency, familial support, sense of humor, positivity, bayanihan spirit and flexibility amidst adversities as sociocultural pattern of Filipinos during the pandemic.
