Resilient in the Pandemic : The fighting spirit of the Filipino's



     Filipinos are known for being resilient, like how they can overcome storms and any obstacle that has come along their lives. They continue to be all smiles despite losing lives and properties, knowing that it’ll take some time again to be able to recover. With the rising cases of COVID-19 and the Philippines being the only country that hasn’t opened schools, it looks like the resiliency in Filipinos are slowly fading. Each day it becomes harder to live, not knowing whether this will be surpassed or if it will be the “new normal” that they call it. Filipinos are losing hope, and this is new to many because Filipinos don’t lose hope that easily.

     COVID-19 Pandemic cases have been rising and the Philippines has been going from one type of lockdown to another. Almost every after two weeks, numerous types of lockdowns are being given to the different places in the Philippines and people thinks that these lockdowns are not helping because those cases are still increasing, another problem with these lockdowns is that a lot of Filipinos’ incomes come from their businesses and whenever these lockdowns are implemented, people’s hope for better days lessens each day. The fact that the government isn’t doing anything to help the people and that these “ayuda” they give isn’t enough to feed the people during these lockdowns. But despite these unfortunate events, many of the Filipinos are still willing to give and to help in ways they can. During the typhoon that struck Cagayan Valley, a lot of donations from LGUs and Filipino citizens created donation drives as well as gathered cash donations that they can send to the people of Cagayan Valley. Another one is during the Taal Eruption. The same thing happened, donation and cash drives were given to people. Despite all the unfortunate series of events, Filipinos are living in this new normal as if nothing that changed their lives happened. Life goes on for them and it continues even after losing lives and properties because after all, Filipinos are known for their resiliency. Despite knowing that there is a pandemic that’s causing so many lives to be taken away, they do not forget to help and give as much as they can to those who are in need. It’s as if they didn’t lose anything because of how they help. Filipinos know how to bounce back easily and they know how to adjust to this new normal. Life will never be fair and many have changed, yet Filipinos remain to be hospitable and resilient especially to their kind.

   COVID-19 Pandemic and other unfortunate events have happened not only in other countries but also in the Philippines, it has cause lives and properties, yet Filipinos remain to be the resilient people that they are known for. They live their lives as if they never lost anything, they help their fellow despite not having much. It is indeed more fun in the Philippines, not because of the places or food but because of its people. How they bounce back after one circumstance to another is something to be proud of. Filipinos' resiliency will never compare to anyone and that is why it’s more fun in the Philippines.

    Hi Jayson!! I really like the structure and content of this blog. The message is clear and on point, there are also no mistakes in its grammar. Although the Philippines has a bad government and corrupt officials, its citizens are the complete opposite of it. They are like a bamboo tree, no matter how strong the wind is, they will still stand up again despite the damage they have taken. It is a unique trait that we, the Filipinos must be proud of.

Letter to President Duterte

  Dear Mr. President,           Hello Mr. President , I’m Jayson F. Rimay Grade 10 Student of Ilocos Sur National High School.

Senator Gordon who is the Chairman of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, probes on the COA report accuses the government of procuring overpriced medical supplies. As Secretary Francisco Duque III of the Department of Health as per your instruction continuously attends Senate probes and he is already addressing the deficiencies in the COA report which pertain to inventory matters in...

The Quality of Education continues in the midst of the Pandemic

The Quality of Education continues in the midst of the Pandemic     The CoVid-19 Crisis has significantly affected both social and economic sectors in the Philippines, one of them being the education sector. It has brought upon us many challenges and difficulties that are likely to have long-term effects on the potential of children.      As Sec. Briones had said, “Education is not going to be the same as education during my time or during your time. It’s going to change, and the change has already started. We already recognize the signals; we see the increased role of technology and science. We see the need to encourage not only our teachers but our learners to not only specialize and memorize; but to know many things, to know how to analyze, to know how to be objective, to know how to come to break a problem apart, and come up with a solution. And so, despite the too many challenges and problems during the educational era of the pandemic, education continues...
