EDITORIAL: The Long-
Term Impacts of
COVID-19 on Education
Consider yourself a third-grade
student. You've never used Zoom before,
and your teacher is having trouble sharing
her screen due to a poor internet connection.
You're also attempting to learn
multiplication and division.
Under these circumstances, you would most
likely struggle to learn, let alone retain the
information. Because these are such
important skills to have, your overall
foundation in those areas suffers greatly.
Some aspects of education will return to
normalcy with the start of the 2021-22
school year, including the resumption of in-
person classes and the return of students to
campuses across the country. Despite this
return, the pandemic's effects on education,
both positive and negative, will last for
years, particularly for primary school
students.
One advantage of the pandemic is the
growth of virtual classes, which give
students more flexibility. They eliminate the
need to physically attend class because they
can be accessed from almost anywhere with
an internet connection. This is especially
beneficial for older students, such as high
school students, who have other obligations
or live a long distance from their school.
Online courses, unlike their in-person
counterparts, allow students to work at their
own pace, so instead of having to read the
book during class, they can do so during
their free time. This also benefits students
who need to work or who are simply not in
the mood to complete an assignment at a
specific time.
When compared to their in-person
counterparts, online courses allow students
to go at their own pace, so instead of having
to read the book during class, they can do it
during their free time. This also benefits
students who need to work or are simply not
in the mood to complete an assignment at a
specific time.
Regardless of your feelings about virtual
classes, having a wider range of course
options is beneficial to everyone. Especially
since many teachers will now have prior
experience with online resources such as
Zoom, implying that there will be fewer
technical issues.
However, the pandemic's other effects on
education are less favorable. Some students
may have fallen behind in their learning due
to poor teaching quality in online classes
during the early days of the pandemic,
which was exacerbated by socioeconomic
factors.
We all recall the early days of the pandemic,
when teachers and professors struggled to
use Zoom in their classes, as well as
attempts to encourage interaction in
breakout rooms. Assignments were
completely waived by educators who had
lost just as much will to teach as students
had to learn.
At the time, we were relieved that
assignments seemed to no longer mattered
and that we could be graded using a pass/fail
system that would cover up any potential
blemishes on our academic records.
However, this meant that many students
may not have learned things that they truly
needed.
For college students, attending online
classes meant missing out on major-specific
content. However, elementary-aged children
lost fundamental math and reading skills.
We don't know how the pandemic will affect
education in the future, but we must keep
equity in mind. Even though we've learned
to better adjust to educating our students
since 2020, the pandemic's effects on our
learning will last for years.
 Understanding Skin Care
for Your Daily Health:
Begginers luck

FEAUTURE
WRITING The phrase skin care brings to mind
three things: skin cancer, dry skin and a long
aisle of beauty products at your local
drugstore. But it’s more than a surface-level
concern. While a skin care routine may
sound like high maintenance, in reality, the
steps for healthy skin are not only necessary,
they’re easy to implement too.
"Your skin is an investment... not an
expense." A good skincare routine is the
only way to reverse and prevent skin ageing.
So quality skincare is always an investment,
as your skin represents you for a long time.
@etimologieskincare
First, you’ll want to take into account your
skin type. The primary skin types are dry,
oily or combination and while your skin
may get drier or oilier based on the season,
the majority of the time it should be
relatively consistent.
What Belongs in Your Skin Care Cabinet
Next, you should know what makes up a
healthy skin routine. Which is to say, what
types of products do you really need to keep
your skin healthy and clean? Note that you
don't have to start with luxury and is also the number one cause of wrinkles,
impressive skincare products from famous uneven skin tone, loss of firmness and aging
skincare line but rather take time to signs.
understand your skin and the rest will do.
Here are the most needed for a beginner's
luck in skincare....

Cleanser
Cleanser is what you’ll use to wash your
face and it’s important to use a product
intended for your face – not just whatever
bar or body wash you have lying around.
You’ll want to wash your face gently and
take care not to scrub too hard. Then, rinse
with warm water, because hot water
removes natural oils and causes your skin to
become dehydrated.
Moisturizer
Like cleansers, moisturizers are for everyone
and should be used every time you wash
your face. And like cleansers, a little trial
and error is totally normal when you’re
looking for the right one – oily skin, for
example, can benefit from lightweight, oil-
free or gel products. Moisturizers prevent
your skin from drying out, leaving your skin
hydrated and smooth. They are most
effective when applied while your skin is
slightly damp to seal in moisture.
Sunscreen
Some moisturizers include SPF, but it
doesn’t hurt to double up with sunscreen as
well – particularly if your moisturizer has an
SPF below 30. By now, you should know
the lines well: Apply sunscreen every day,
even when it’s gray or cold, even when
you’re covered up. When you are exposed,
reapply every two hours. Make sure your
sunscreen protects against both UVA and
UVB rays. If skin cancer and sun damage
aren’t enough to convince you, UV exposure

A Moro Law maker lauded “Alam nating hindi mababayaran ang mga
sugat at pilat ng karahasang iniwan ng
Marawi compensation law Marawi Siege, pero hangad natin ang
says: Will help siege victims to agarang pagbangon ng ating mga kapatid na
recover taga-Marawi, at malaking tulong itong
Marawi Compensation Bill sa pagsasagawa
nito,” he added.
(We know that we cannot compensate for
the scars left by the Marawi siege, but we
are hoping for the recovery of our brothers
and sisters in Marawi, and the Marawi
compensation bill will be of huge help in
achieving this.)
The Marawi Siege Compensation Act
creates a Marawi Compensation Board to
facilitate the tax-free payment of reparations
to persons displaced by the Marawi Siege.
On Tuesday, the Senate approved on
second reading Senate Bill No. 2420 or the The House of Representatives, meanwhile,
Marawi Siege Compensation Act. approved its own version of the measure in
September last year.
Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri,
the principal author of the measure, said that
the measure will help “give social justice to
the victims of the Marawi siege.”
House Deputy Speaker and Basilan Rep.
Mujiv Hataman said that the measure will
help in the recovery of the siege victims.
“Magli-limang taon na simula noong
mangyari ang Marawi Siege noong 2017, at
hanggang ngayon ay marami pa rin sa ating
mga kababayan doon ang hindi pa
nakakauwi sa kanilang mga tahanan, hindi
pa maitayo uli ang kanilang mga negosyo, at
hindi pa makabangon mula sa bangungot ng
digmaan,” Hataman said in a statement.
(We are approaching the fifth year since the
Marawi siege happened in 2017 and until
now, many of our countrymen there are still
unable to return to their homes, establish
their businesses, and recover from the
nightmare left by the siege.)
