What This Module is About
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
-Martin Luther King Jr.
Each of us is different. You and I have our ideas and beliefs. In this time, we
are feed with various information around the globe from different sources –
newspapers, magazines, textbooks, televisions, social media. We are also
surrounded by different issues and we sometimes tend to either agree or disagree
especially for these issues that may affect us negatively. One thing is for sure, we
have to take a stand. What have you taken a stand on in the past?
The society that we belong calls for us to speak and mostly social media
becomes the platform for this. When you speak of an issue, you should never be
half-hearted and at the same time, you must present intelligible reasons. This is now
the challenge you have to face and the question of how are you going to do it?
This module, will help you make a stand based on the text. It will also help
you widen your understanding of how other people make a stand on different issues.
Remember to keep an open mind as you go along with this module. Do not forget to
always consider other people’s emotions, culture, beliefs, principles, opinions, and
ideas are.

I am with you when you would say that you miss going out whenever you want, go to
malls when boredom strikes, go to beaches with friends and family.
You want the government to lift this ECQ or MECQ that you think is hindering you the
kind of freedom you have before. I take a different view. The government is doing what
it thinks is best for everyone. Our government’s efforts must not be put in waste
because we want to go back to the old lifestyle abruptly.
New normal it is. We are adapting to this new lifestyle. This brought us to the
consciousness of what we are doing, considering our health. Embrace this new lifestyle
as this will allow us to appreciate moments with family and loved ones. Be thankful if
we will be in a new normal state and let the next generation know the plight we endure
towards this new normal. xiv

The Plight to New Normal
It was just another day taking our lunch at school listening to songs over
the radio to ease things up. All of a sudden, suspension of classes was
announced due to the Corona Virus outbreak. The news that change our lives.
Startled with the news, citizens came out of their houses out of panic to buy
several alcohol and face masks which led to its shortage. Even shopping for
basic needs in fear of the so called “lockdown”.
Time has come when you are thankful that you are still alive, you are
healthy and you are blessed with the presence of our loved ones. Waking up
every single day with questions as t when this will end, where would be the
place that we are safe and how did this start? It was news that none had
prepared for. We are once seeing it in the movies only but now a reality. It had
drastically changed the lives of people across the globe.
Four months have passed yet our battle with the unseen foe did not end
and from the view of it, it is not going to end soon. This pandemic had claimed
thousands of lives and millions were infected. This virus whose vaccine is yet to
be discovered.
In this battle, where did the Philippines placed itself? As of this writing,
the Department of Health had recorded 14, 319 confirmed cases of Covid 19
with 3, 323 recovered and 879 deaths. How did we fare? DOH said in a Press
Release last May 21, 2020 that the Philippines still on 1 st wave of sustained
community transmission and as far as I am concerned, we are expecting the
second wave. This second wave would continue to claim lives and lead
thousands of people jobless and with nothing to eat. From Enhanced
Community Quarantine (ECQ) to Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine
(MECQ) this placed the whole country under the control of the government.
This is for the benefit of all. The question now is how long will this end? How
long are we going to have this kind of life? When are we going back to the way
we used to be? The answer lies in front of us. This is now the new normal. This
ECQ or MECQ the way I see it, is preparing us for the new normal.
Gone are the days of rush hours, heavy traffic, congested shopping
malls, cinemas, big party events, and a lot more of activities that will bring
hundreds, thousands of people in one area. This new normal is what people
across the globe will have to adapt. We will all be adapting new normal ways of
doing things. From home to the workplace, we will all be practicing social

Statements/ Scenario
It will be recalled that at the height of the Marawi uprising, our call was “education
must continue!” In the midst of the Coronavirus crisis, our call remains the same:
Education must continue whether face-to-face or virtual, with or without physically
going to school
– Deped Secretary Leonor M. Briones
“The government down to the barangay level needs to find ways to ensure that
the homeless are taken care of, especially if they’re asked to quarantine
themselves,” he said.
