corona, 'VI' for virus and 'D' for disease. The COVID-19 virus is a new virus linked to the
same family of viruses as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome(SARS) and some types
of common cold (Bender, 2020, March). The outbreak was started in Wuhan City, Hubei
December 31,2019. On January 30, 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a
global health emergency and on March 11, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a global
pandemic (Cennimo, April 30). COVID-19 Pandemic, a defining global health crisis of
our time and a greatest challenge we have faced since World War Two (United Nations
The pandemic results to many changes that affects our life. The pandemic of
COVID-19 is changing the entire world, and the domain of education is not an exception
(Rae, 2020, May 25). School are needed to be closed. Closing schools can slow the
spread of disease and, in turn, save lives (Turner & Kamenetz , 2020). Because of this,
the children or students just stays at their houses and study with the new styles of
learning which are online learning, modular learning and blended learning. Most of the
business and work activities are also affected by the pandemic. According to Donthu &
Gustafsson (2020, June 9), the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has forced many
businesses to close, leading to an unprecedented disruption of commerce in most
industry sectors. Most of the employees have to work from their homes but other people
The closure of schools and work activities became a way for families to stay
together at their homes. It has both positive and negative effects. For some families,
spending more time together during a lockdown may bring family members closer
towards each other (Janssen et al., 2020).They can help each other just like when
children who are studying at home needs the assistance of their parents in doing their
school activities or when parents needs the help of their children in doing the household
chores. Simply, families tend to have more social interactions than before. According to
UC Health (2020, April 4), for other families, it could mean raised anxiety in children and

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the whole of humanity is at risk and we are
stuck at home (Karayel, 2020, October 27). COVID-19 has rattled our world, with
devastating impacts on children and families across the globe (Hamilton, 2020, October
25). Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools are needed to be closed. According
to Turner & Kamenetz (2020), closing schools can slow the spread of disease and, in
turn, save lives. The children or students just stays at home because of the pandemic.
The students nowadays study with the new styles of learning which are online learning,
modular learning and/or blended learning. The pandemic also affects the world of work.

For some families, spending more time together during a lockdown may bring
family members closer towards each other (Janssen et al., 2020). The families will have
more time and chances to bond with each other. The parents can help their children in
doing their school activities and their children also can help them in doing household
chores. They will have chances to watch movies, eat, and play games together. Simply,
For some families, it could mean raise anxiety in children and tension in
parenting relationships (UC Health, 2020, April 4). According to the study of Chung,
Lanier, & Wong (2020), the pandemic was the reason of implementing safety distancing
in Singapore from April to May 2020. It is resulted to increase parenting stress. They
collected data from 258 parents living in Singapore using online surveys disseminated
through Facebook and community organization. Their predictor was the perceived
impact of COVID-19. They used Parental Stress Scale to measure parental stress. They
used two outcomes: parent-child relationship closeness and harsh parenting. The
results of their study indicated that parenting stress was a significant mediator in the
parenting(indirect effect=.58, Boostrap 99% CI[.25, .94]). Their study proves that the
impact of COVID-19 and stay-home orders can increase parenting stress that results to
negative impact on parenting by affecting parents' relationship with their children and
Local Studies
We interviewed one of the health center staffs of Brgy. Camantiles. At first, we
interviewed her about the impact of social distancing during pandemic on her daily life.
She says that it has a great impact om her because she needs to be away from her
family to board so she can go to the health center to work as a midwife and to provide
healthcare to the patients. She also stated that when pandemic came and she was
stuck at home, she was depressed because she should be in the barangay to do her job
as a front liner but she wasn't there because she was stuck at home. For her, the social
The effect of social distancing in the health center is good because the patients
are not all inside the health center. She can talk to her parents one on one and they will
We also get her opinion about the impact of social distancing during pandemic on
the daily life of students. She says that some of the students was happy because they
are just at home and when they finish answering their modules, they can relax and they
can do what they wanted to do. But some of the students are having a difficulty and they
are stressed because they have modules to answer. For her, the face to face classes is
better because the teachers will be more focused on teaching their students. Also,
students will do their projects and assignment themselves. Today parents help their
children with their school activities but sometimes instead of students will do and
answer their activities, their parents do all their children's school works.
of businesses were forced to close because of the pandemic that's why students,
parents, and most of the people are stuck at home. During pandemic, some families
tend to be closer because of having more social interactions than before while in some
families, the pandemic raise anxiety in children and increase in parenting stress in
parents that leads to violence and harsh parenting that decrease the parent-child
closeness.

Students were asked to assess the impact of various steps taken to avert the
pandemic on their daily life. Responses were ranked with the weighted mean and, as it
can be seen in Table 11, the distance learning (weighted mean 3.95), closure of all
the public (weighted mean 3.41) and closure of shopping centers and convenient stores
(weighted mean 3.32) were the measures that had the greatest impact on students'
daily life.
