Lives at Stake


             Filipinos are known to be at ease during storms and typhoons, since we are actually used to situations as these. Either rain or shine, we advance to enhance our country as one. Although, ever since the pandemic has taken over our beloved nation, it was seen that many have suffered – from being financially broke, losing jobs, the peoples mental health taking its toll, countless deaths and many more due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is to be said that our “bayanihan spirit” wasn’t really seen nor observed as of those times due to the fact that many civilians only thought about themselves and didn’t really take the pandemic seriously which lead to suffering, death and the people to mourn. It is also to be said that a lot of people in our government are corrupted and may even use us for their needs and wants, which is just real talk. If we really want our country to roam free, we must know how to discipline ourselves first.

 

              The Philippines’s economic system has dropped by that time for obvious reasons. Panic buying then emerged which lead to a problem to another. The citizens didn’t have the time to care nor think about other people, they only thought about their family and selves, which can be a good reason why they do so. This then has lead us to complications and further suffering since no one really cared much at first. Racism was even observed. Citizens even criticize front liners that time, since they were afraid to get in contact with them, which is understandable yet still not pleasant to hear nor think about it. It is us, ourselves, to blame for such things. We were selfish and greedy towards fellow Filipinos. But, when time passed by, we did adapt to this new way of living, slowly but surely and had a new start of life to help each other up. We have to admit that this is easier said than done, right? It really is hard to adjust ourselves drastically, but we have no other choice – it is for the sake of humanity.

 

            No matter how hard life treats us and beats us down, we must never give up and keep on getting back on our feet, do a stance, get ready for the battle, fight and advance forward. Yes, the war of the people against COVID-19 has been a long, tiring journey, but we must never back down. For the future and incoming generations, we shall advance towards a better tomorrow. We will win this fight as one and take back the life we long for!

A Brighter Tomorrow Resides Beyond the Sorrow

Image
               Every child is special. Childhood is known to be an important part of a person’s life. All of us have been through that timeline and many more will. It is a time wherein you get to be innocent and have fun without a care in the world. Life as a child was like unicorns and rainbows. Although not all of the children get the chance to be “free” and “innocent” nor have a life filled with “unicorns and rainbows”. Many even had to set their dreams aside to work and earn money for a living, just to help their family. This wasn’t supposed to happen for we all know that a child has their right to learn and not to work nor earn.                     A child needs to be educated, sheltered, fed, cared for and loved. It is their right and a parents’ responsibility to do so. To serve and provide for a child is a must, or I should say a duty to fulfill. We all know that a child depe...

Another Chapter of My Life Unfolds

Image
            “New Year, New Me”. I can’t say that this year, there will be a new me. This is because there will never be a new me but I guarantee you, that there will definitely be an upgraded version of me! Doesn’t that sound better? Its like a game, wherein you get to be you and level up in every fight, or I should say, “chapter” in your life.               I am more than sure that this year will be another rough ride for us and that’s no lie. Life isn’t fair and we know that. But despite of that saying, we still ought to live our lives to its outmost best. Easier said than done, am I right? but what’s more important is that we get to see another year. We get to enjoy our life. Despite the cruelty, we still find ways to address positivity to the world and restore the faith in humanity.               For ...

Amidst This Crisis, Let The Essence of Christmas Prosper

Image
               “It’s the most wonderful time of the year~”, that’s what that one song said. It is obvious that this is another Christmas Celebration during an ongoing pandemic wherein people aren’t that fond of. Although, that doesn’t stop us on giving off positive vibes during this once a year of a season. We all know that the Christmas season is nothing new to us, but due to the pandemic, it has become quite a hassle. This is a challenge for all of us to overcome.   As of my opinion, this Christmas season, I have a feeling that it won’t be so bad and I have high hopes for that. I mean, the reason we celebrate such an event is because it’s the birthday of Papa Jesus and we are looking forward to another year of glimmer. I get that this year was a rough ride for the most of us. We had our ups and downs, we had our outmost joyous and even the darkest days of our lives. Words cannot describe how much we’ve been through this year, am ...
