"The Not-So-Normal Normal", an article about COVID-19 and its effects on the Youth.

     A student who has been working hard in all of her high school years to make her family proud and secure a proper future has been desiring to have her parents come onto the stage with their shoulders high and chin tilted up in justified pride to receive an award their child rightfully earned. Although she has been part of the honor list and has been acknowledged in the appropriate times, she strived to do her best, at the same time to let herself enjoy the last year with her classmates whom she’s been with for the past four years. Many students think likewise as their dreams and expectations for their last days of school and graduation ceremony are shattered completely. 

     A pandemic that is oddly persistent and strong, continues to scare people off the streets and bring an abundance of problems that have been skirted around, never truly solved.  The deadly virus has claimed lots of lives and is affecting many more as it continues to disable Filipinos from physical social interactions and unwarranted trips outside of their very own homes. It does not seem to be stopping any time soon and the longer it takes, the higher the number of long-term effects on everyone. 

     Although it is unfair to think of the virus as a mere inconvenience, as all of the precautionary measures were taken out of necessity to prevent the further spread of the pandemic, it is a sign of indifference to ignore the inconveniences that this will entail for the future of all Filipinos, in regards to their daily lives, lifestyles, livelihood and even education. 

     The education system continues to stand unsure of its plans for the future and the abundance of changes that will have to be made as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to take lives and take control of the daily lives of Filipinos for an unsure but already significantly long, amount of time. In Metro Manila, schools have been shut down since the 12th day of March, cutting off classes and preventing the continuation of all graduation plans. With that, the region was also placed under lockdown which prevents the general public from leaving their houses for unimportant activities. 

     Until now, the education system continues to stagger backward under the force of the virus as it pushes all existing plans off the table, unable to make any concrete solutions to the problems and delays the pandemic has caused. Most, if not all schools had been shut down before any graduation or moving-up ceremonies had taken place, leaving the students in the middle of the last quarter of the school year 2019-2020. Public schools and some private schools had persevered and adapted into an online class system, however, proper examinations can not be done through that process, leaving another block in the middle of the road. 

     Even now, the situation yields problems that still cannot be solved in the current situation. Graduating students have been unable to experience their graduation ceremonies, feel the satisfaction with themselves for persevering through all the years of hard work, and lack of sleep, instead, to be faced with the anxiety that the pandemic brings because of its dangers and the uncertainty of the near future. This feeling seems shallow and insensitive as people are being robbed of their lives but in perspective, these students are being robbed of their once-in-a-lifetime experience that they worked years towards. 

     Since then, the education system and said students have been in a state of constant uncertainty as the pandemic has yet to give enough leeway to think about the future and the compromises that will have to be taken to compensate for the amount of time and the significant number of plans that have been thrown out due to the inability to do much in this state of quarantine.  

     Now, supposedly graduating students and all adolescents struggle to get a grip on a sense of normalcy as the situation continues to evolve and braces themselves for the impact of the “new normal”. As communities splinter under the stress in desperation to end the pandemic, it seems that the best way to go is to, metaphorically, become a tightly-knitted close community that supports each other and provides each other with a shoulder to lean on and a hand to hold. In the midst of this unpleasant situation, people must stand together as one and fight this battle with each other. 

     Truly, what the world needs now is love. Whether it be supporting each other by listening to each other’s woes and worries or giving as much as a simple meal to those unable to get food for themselves, people must not be selfish in times like these, rather, people must be willing to give the excess that they have to fill the needs of those less lucky. It does not have to be much as a lot can be done through the simplest and smallest of gestures. This is a show of love for family, friends, and everyone around us in particular, and humanity as a whole. Moving on is also a show of love for the people around us, but it shows one’s self-love as well, to be able to move on from such a situation and not dig yourself too deep into the situation. 

     As this student continues moving forward even as her long-time dream was deemed unattainable, she thinks other people should too. More experiences will come and more opportunities will be open for adolescents like her, only if everyone takes it in stride and continues hoping and dreaming as young adolescents should. 

     Despite all of the different situations and feelings from the situation, people with the help of other people must move on. Nobody should forget that everyone is in the same situation as they are, this pandemic is a problem of the whole world and even though everyone has their own perspectives and their own set of problems rooting from this, people should remember to hold each other up and support each other. Inspire each other and help each other. As people, we must move on from this together and continue to strive, looking for solutions to every problem and eventually recover, because even if the path has many bumps and obstacles, no one must ever walk alone. Together, with the people’s will and force as one, the fight will be fought and even though some battles are sadly lost, the war has yet to finish.

The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has brought the world to its knees, its been a year since the first coronavirus was detected in Wuhan, China. Today the world continues to face a global health crisis and the greatest challenged we have faced since World War 2. Over 2 million people have died because of the virus with 100 million people infected by it and there are cases of the new SARS-CoV-2 variant, yet, there are still people who do not follow simple health protocols. Let us be sensible towards one another by following these simple protocols like maintaining social distancing, wearing of mask and face shield, washing our hands and staying at home so that we can help in preventing the spread of COVID-19 to more people, let us do what we can as citizens to help our country heal in this deadly virus.

Let us all extend a heart to our fellow Filipinos in need. Such a time as this demands us more than prayers. We can't just pray for help, we are the help that they need

Since 1953 up to the present the colorful history of ABS-CBN is undeniable, the achievement that the institution was able to gain through dedication and hardship. Recognition from various national and international organization and being the biggest broadcasting and communications network or so-called media giant of the Philippines speaks for how did ABS-CBN make its way to success.

In 1972, the declaration of Martial Law, turned the light off for ABS-CBN, but then, after the People Power Revolution it goes back to the service of the Filipino, during the martial law the assertion of the people are “we lost press freedom.” “there was censorship.” and the like signifies that importance of the network. The foundation of the network is challenge and strengthen by time.

With free press comes with the search for truth. However, the guarantee of truth is being restricted if a warning and intimidation is present. For courage to survive it takes a huge risk, even the existence of different media companies sometimes the truth is not directly shown because of fear.

Breaking news! ABS-CBN shutdown, the network went off air last May 5, 2020 after the National Telecommunication Commission issued a cease and desist order (CDO) against the network following the expiration of its legislative franchise last May 4, 2020, amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic where millions of jobs is at risk because of cessation. Nothing more execrable than to announce its own farewell.  

During the legislative hearing for its franchise renewal, the network passed through the hole of the needle as the members of the house exercise legislative inquiry in aid of legislation a step on determining the fate of the network, relevant and irrelevant issues arise from inquiry. The favorable and adverse rulings of court to the issue where ABS-CBN involve, and the pronunciation of other government agencies ensuring the legislative branch that the network did not violate any law, is a direct and visible adherence of the network to rule of law, despite of this facts, emotions and political will goes beyond the acceptable.

Justice come with careful and balance decision, to serve justice facts are weight’s due respect.

Article III Section 4 of the 1987 Constitution states that: No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances. Freedom refers to the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Article XI Section 1 of the 1987 Constitution states that: Public office is a public trust. Public officers and employees must at all times be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost responsibility, integrity, loyalty, and efficiency, act with patriotism and justice, and lead modest lives. The public officials are the representative of the people and the people of the Republic of the Philippines are the sovereign.

July 10, 2020 the House Committee on Legislative Franchise the resolution to deny the ABS-CBN franchise application was adopted with seventy (70) committee members voting in favor of the resolution, eleven (11) against, and with one (1) abstention and two (2) inhibitions the bill was junked, or put into lay on the table, indefinitely.  

What do we have? Rule of law or rule of man? Democracy or democrazy?

Believe and move.. “You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it, all of that doesn't even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself; is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It's not like you have forever, so don't waste any of your seconds, don't throw even one of your moments away.” - JoyBell C. #diplomathotelbaguio #baguiocity #wehealasone #babangontayo #layasnikulas #biyahenikulas #igdaily #letsdothis #layasjournals #kulasdiaries #everydayisagreatday #stillgreatful #havefaith #positivity #ig_philippines #philippines (at Old Diplomat Hotel, Baguio City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBz9ifSH148/?igshid=1y0ayybieklvb

Help Through Prayer

Let us pray for those families who haven’t experience comfort for a while.

Let us pray for those families that shed tears in the middle of the night, thinking and asking how long they will endure so much pain and hardships.

Let us pray for those families who don’t have enough fuel for their empty stomachs.

For you who haven’t experienced those things, - be grateful enough.

Magandang balita ito ngayon. Kaya all the more na hindi dapat madaliin agad ang pag lift ng Enhanced Community Quarantine sa Luzon. Crucial ang mga susunod na linggo para matiyak na unti-unti ma-achieve na natin ang flattened curve. Kaya patuloy na panawagan sa mga pambansa at lokal na pamahalaan, matugunan nawa ang pangangailangan ng mga hikahos sa buhay. Gayundin ang protektahan ang mga medical frontliners natin na mga nangunguna sa pakikipaglaban sa virus na ito. At sa ating lahat, manatili lamang sa bahay. Huwag tayong magsawang manalangin at magtulungan. Mapagtatagumpayan natin ito, Pilipinas. 🇵🇭 #SKL #WeHealAsOne #LabanPilipinas #WeCanBeatCOVID19 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_R9d3blGS8/?igshid=193hw4kbkz56b
