Stay at home. Wear mask. Always wash your hands. Observe proper hygiene. Practice
social distancing. These are just a few of the many reminders of the government for us to
strictly and religiously follow during this pandemic. Far from the normal ways of life where
we can freely go to the malls, beaches, parks or church, host or attend parties and big
events, travel to places we plan for vacation, and the like, this situation brings so much
adjustment in many aspects of our lives: emotionally, socially, physically, financially --- to
mention a few.
Corona Virus Disease (COVID)-19 is an invisible enemy. We do not know where it is coming
from when it will hit, who its vector (nagdadala) is and how it will end. Until now, a very big
question of uncertainty keeps on ringing in our minds --- “When will it end? (Kailan ba ito
matatapos?’). How about you? Did you ask yourself the same question? Yes or No, feel free
to share your thoughts in the space provided below.

Be aware that the government is exhausting all its effort to combat this disease. It is
working hand in hand with the frontliners (health workers, police force, military personnel, local
government units (LGUs), basic services providers, volunteers, and others) in finding ways to
provide continuous social services to the general public through public service, health care,
financial assistance, peace and order, to name a few. Chaired by the DOH, the Inter-Agency
Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) composed of the DFA, DILG, DOJ,
DOLE, DOT, DOTr, DTI, DA and DBM, work together to address the spreading of the disease
across the country.

It is the government’s initiative to create and mobilize all the health sectors in the country
form the national down to the barangay level in order to give quick response to any situations
related to COVID-19. In the case that one experiences COVID-19-related symptoms, one has
to report to the proper health authorities in your locality. Likewise, those who have travel history
from other places are subject to monitoring. Whatever quarantine level our place belongs, let
us all support the effort of the government to help end this problem by following the “new normal”
way of life.

We all experience the same thing. I am worried, you, too. I am afraid, you, too. I am
bored, you, too. We are on the same boat except that we have different levels of experience
and acceptability about the situation. We use technology to access news. Television, radio and
social media are some of our sources of information. We rely so much on the updates given by
these platforms to the point that our minds are overloaded with thoughts (both reliable and fake)
that are causing us psychologically and emotionally affected. With this, let us be mindful of the
things that we are going to feed our minds in order to lessen our worries and be at peak of good
decision-making. It is necessary for us to stay calm, focused and be optimistic despite of the
difficulties that we are facing now. Let us always be vigilant. Show more compassion to one
another. As a student, staying at home at this moment in time means having more time for
yourself to relax/recreate, to hone your talents/skills and to have more bonding time with your
family. Enjoy every moment of it as you journey towards the “new normal”.

The quarantine level in each area is changing every fifteen days as decided by
the government and the IATF-EID. Depending on the risk level, changing the quarantine status
(i.e. ECQ, MECQ, GCQ, MGCQ) may vary from one place to another. This means that the
way of life in a certain place must also conform to the existing rules and regulations. Honestly,
community quarantine affects us all. We are still facing the uncertainties of tomorrow. The
COVID-19 pandemic forces the government to implement the “new normal” to move forward.
Programs and policies are made to help society adapt to this. Still, we need to practice social
distancing, continue to wear masks, and wash hands more often as we continue to face this
battle. How about you? Have you adjusted already to the “new normal”?

What did you do at home during the quarantine period? Did you gain weight? Did you
use your free time wisely? Did you sleep well? Did you still exercise? What recreational
activities did you do? How did you feel about your so-long-stay at home? Did you feel bored?
Were you happy about not going out with friends like you were used to doing? How about the
people around you and your family? Did you spend more time with them doing recreational and
positive activities to relax and to have fun? Feel free to briefly share your most unforgettable
experience during the quarantine period in the space provided below.

Recreation does not stop during this pandemic. There are so many recreational
activities you can do at home to kill boredom. Have you tried gardening? Seeing the healthy
plants in your garden can make you smile. Did you do some household chores like sweeping
and scrubbing the floor, fetching water, feeding the pets, or even watering the plants? Doing
them all with a big smile on your face is already a form of recreation. How much more if you
are doing them with your loved ones! Turn your boredom into fun. Learning to like and love
what you are doing will lead you to find real happiness in overcoming adversity. Relax, enjoy,
have fun, smile, and most of all, MOVE FORWARD.
