Unity For A Stronger Nation

         The year 2020 was truly a challenging one, full of unexpected events. Our normal lives have been greatly affected, and we have spent the majority of our time locked down or isolated. It has made our life more difficult, building a sense of pessimism and misery in individuals. Although the pandemic continues to cause suffering, we are still trying to win this battle because Filipinos are known for their diligence and hard work. We strive to have a better future, and this will continue to help us achieve it, and working together will make it easier to do so.

           The Philippines is one of the countries that have the strictest lockdowns. Us being confined in our homes is already a big adjustment for everyone. We would not have suffered as much if the government had imposed limitations sooner. The Philippines' response to Covid-19 is insufficient to mitigate the pandemic's negative consequences on its people. The country appears to be at war with the Covid-19, with Filipinos suffering financially, emotionally, physically, and mentally. People are at risk of starvation, and the Philippine economy is severely affected. As a result, people were forced to close their businesses and lose their jobs, further deteriorating their situation. However, it has been seen that Filipinos' obedience aids in the control of the virus's spread. Continuing to do so will make it easier for us to defeat Covid-19 in this battle. In times like this, unity is critical since helping one another is the most effective approach to combat the pandemic.

           Discipline is most important for the country to overcome this difficult situation. Keep in mind that we are not the only ones who are struggling. We are not alone in this fight, which is why it is critical to think carefully before acting in order to avoid regrets and harm to others. This is a battle that people all across the world are facing, and we must be considerate of others' circumstances. Expressing our oneness as citizens is a step toward a more resilient Philippines

A Time for Giving

        Our favorite time of year is nearing, and the pandemic is still present, limiting our ability to travel and meet our loved ones from various places. This will be our second time coping with the pandemic during the holiday season. Nonetheless, we Filipino Christians will not be deterred from celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Christmas lights and trees can be seen as early as September. Every Filipino, especially children, can be seen beaming with delight as they await the arrival of Christmas to receive gifts from their family and godparents. This is the time when the family gets together to celebrate and bond while enjoying the feast that has been prepared. However, because the COVID-19 Pandemic has had such a great impact on our daily lives, we are unable to be with our families and friends who come from long distances.         Christmas is one of the most important events for Christians, and it should be valued and res...

Quality Education For A Better Future

               We are all aware that the pandemic has affected how we normally live, and the education of students is no exception. In the first months of 2020, our learning was interrupted due to the rapid spread of the Covid-19. Of course, we students were upset by the news. Students had no idea when their schools would reopen. Despite the difficulties caused by the pandemic, the Philippine government did not use this as an excuse to halt the education of students. In the Philippines, education is crucial to a person’s life.         What we are experiencing as students today demonstrates the importance of education. Despite the ongoing pandemic, the Philippine government developed various approaches in order to continue the education of students. Distance learning has been introduced, which includes the use of technology, electronic devices, modules, and so on. Students were new to this approach, and some lacked the necessa...
