REALIZATION DURING THE 2 YEAR PANDEMIC

Greetings, I am Geena J. Calendro, 21 years old taking up Bachelor of

Science in Criminology, studying at Marvelous College of Technology Inc. At M.H
Del Pilar st. Brgy. Zone 4, City of Koronadal, South Cotabato. I conducted an
interview regarding my cousin's realizations on the 2 year pandemic. The covid 19
pandemic was really shocking and petrifying for each and everyone of us. It was an
unwelcome foe for us. It was so new and foreign that even the government itself and
scientist find it hard to find a cure and a way to still keep the society running and
keep on going on life.
The person that I am interviewing would like to keep her details and
informations private and would like to start this with the specific questions that i have
prepared.

Question:1 (Interviewer): What is your experiences on the 2 year covid 19

pandemic ?

INTERVIEWEE: I experienced online class and adjusting to the new curriculum

and the new way of classes, it was not easy because there are a lot of hardships
mostly on academics. In terms of day to day bases it was hard because of course we
are on a lockdown and there are a lot of restrictions and protocols that we must
follow and yeah that's all.

Question:2 (Interviewer):How did you spend your days during the

pandemic?

INTERVIEWEE: I spent my days during the pandemic at home, mostly in my

room well because we can't get out because of the quarantine there was no choice. I
just do my things inside, reading, studying, cooking, watching movies and playing
games and also spending time with my family. Along the 2 years of course there are
time when I have to go outside because of some personal reasons and school
reasons but of course with proper following of the rules like wearing your face masks
and face shields and carrying your CCTS cards and vaccinations cards when going
outside.

Question:3 (Interviewer):What did you feel on the sudden announcement

of the quarantine?

INTERVIEWEE: Of course it was shock but most of it was not surprising because
I was aware of the disease that was spreading at that time, but i wasn't prepared of
the long term effect that would cause the whole world to pause, and of course there
were a lot of adjustments to be made but well we made it.
Question:4 (Interviewer): For two (2) years being stuck inside the house,
was it hard? Why or Why not?

INTERVIEWEE: Of course it was hard for a student that mostly have and was
accustomed to outdoor activities and going outside. I am a dancer and I mostly go
out to practice or part take to competitions. It was very new to me you know just
being inside of the house, you don't know what to do just to entertain yourself. It's
hard when you want to go out but can't because of the risk of getting infected of the
virus, but well I have learned a lot of things, mostly about yourself and about your
family, its actually a positive side of it.

Question:5 (Interviewer): How did covid 19 affect your family?

INTERVIEWEE: It affected my family financially because it was so hard to go out
and work. Financial crisis was a very rampant thing at that time. It was just mostly on
finding ways to earn money for food and daily expenses, it was a good thing that the
government was there to help us on our living. They gave food and money for the
people that really needed it and I was thankful for it. In terms of everyday living it was
just hard not to go out and do the things that you were accustomed to do but yeah its
okay naman nakaginhawa din naman na tayo.

Question:6 (Interviewer): All in all what is your realization on the 2 year

pandemic?

INTERVIEWEE: We must always take care of ourselves because of course our

health is one of the key components to a successful life, because everything that you
do is grounded on your physical strength nowadays. This 2 year pandemic made us
realise the importance of being hygienic and to be more healthy to have a healthy
lifestyle. Choose wisely of what you eat, what you do, exercise well uhm be more
cautious and follow the protocols so that we won't experience this pandemic again
