We all have been affected by the latest COVID-19 pandemic. However, the effects of the pandemic and
its repercussions are felt differently based on our on our status as individuals and as members of
community. Although others continue to adjust to working from home, homeschooling their children,
and buying food from Delivery services but others have no choice but to be exposed to the virus while
keeping society functioning. Our various social identities and the social classes of which we belong
decide our inclusion in society and, as a result, our susceptibility to epidemics.

The COVID-19 pandemic has swept the world. We, as individuals in the entire human family, are
experiencing a tragedy together. Any person's everyday life is changing as a result of the vast and
terrifying economic crisis. These developments expose previously latent individual demands for
treatment and cooperation, compelling us to reinvest in ourselves and our communities.

This pandemic is unprecedented in most people's lives. Our Barangay Officials imposed Lockdowns and
curfews to prevent the transmission of the epidemic had an effect on how children learned, how their
families earned a living, and how secure they felt in their homes and neighborhoods. As the community
responds to the new normal, Most of them had struggles in adjusting this type of scenario where
students and teachers conduct online learning which is not effective to the students as well as to the
teachers. Now, as we struggle to transition from our young lives without lockdown to the ‘new normal’
with the rest of the world, my hope is that the spirit of our resilience and the camaraderie among
Filipinos and the global community persist and win against all the forces that try to bring the whole
world down.

It is for our own good and for the greater good that we stay in our homes. We could help our nation
stand up and fight, for our health workers at the frontlines in this battle. They, who became our new
world heroes. We also acknowledge our low-skilled workers who play a significant role in combatting the
pandemic. Our janitors and street sweepers who keep our communities clean for us to be free from the
risks that may endanger our health. To our barangay officials, the police, and government employees
who ensures the safety and well-being of our countrymen in the communities; so that every family has
food on the table and gets through each day. To the initiatives of the civil society and non-government
organizations who take part in giving out basic needs to the less fortunate. There are still a number who
remains to be unmentioned. But, even from the safety of our homes, we have seen your commendable
efforts to help and serve the people, who are in dire need of basic commodities due to diminishing
access to resources brought by the lockdown.

Therefore, we must inculcate into our minds to stay home, unless it is truly necessary or if there are
immediate needs that must be acquired outside of our homes. Consequently, let us spread this message
to our peers and also those who are within the reach of our influence. In order to flatten the curve, we
must participate in mitigating the increasing number of cases. Observe physical distance and, when you
are sick, practice self-isolation from the others. This is already a great help to combat the pandemic. So,
stay home, peers!
