Habaradas, Raymund B. Mia, Ian Benedict R. Social enterprises are hybrid organizations that pursue a social mission while pursuing profits. Because of this pursuit of a dual mission, social enterprises experience internal and external tensions that threaten the viability of these organizations. The processes employed by SEs in resolving these tensions in their dayto-day operations might potentially result in mission drift, especially when an organization consistently favors one mission over the other. These enterprises experience these even without crises. As such, this study asks the question – what happens to social enterprises' social mission as they experience the COVID-19 pandemic. The researchers answered this question by examining interview transcripts, field notes, journal articles, and published materials. The results revealed that SEs might take two different paths in achieving their social mission - intensification of their commitment and fulfillment of their social mission and the continuation of pre-pandemic commitment and realization of their social mission. Although challenging, the selected SEs continued delivering on their promise by recognizing social opportunities and exploiting these by changing their business strategies. The adaptation of digital technologies and the utilization of their social capitals facilitated the sustainability of these SEs in the short term and hopefully in the long term. 2021-04-16T07:00:00Z text https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/faculty_research/9551 Faculty Research Work Animo Repository Social entrepreneurship—Philippines Organizational resilience—Philippines COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- —Influence Entrepreneurial and Small Business Operations |

Social enterprises are hybrid organizations that pursue a social mission while pursuing profits. Because of this pursuit of a dual mission, social enterprises experience internal and external tensions that threaten the viability of these organizations. The processes employed by SEs in resolving these tensions in their dayto-day operations might potentially result in mission drift, especially when an organization consistently favors one mission over the other. These enterprises experience these even without crises. As such, this study asks the question – what happens to social enterprises' social mission as they experience the COVID-19 pandemic. The researchers answered this question by examining interview transcripts, field notes, journal articles, and published materials.
