Overcoming Global Constraints: The Philippines' Resiliency

 The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries on the planet. Natural catastrophes occur on an annual basis, ranging from typhoons to earthquakes, flash floods, and volcanic eruptions, with or without notice. The area's development and advancement have always been difficult. Then the COVID-19 epidemic occurred.

In recent memory, the Philippines has not had an outbreak of the magnitude of COVID-19. With a dearth of infrastructure and the conveniences that many other nations take for granted, the Philippines is unprepared to deal with a disease of such magnitude. But, as a people, Filipinos have always been considered to be incredibly resilient. We are so accustomed to natural disasters that we have grown to expect them. It's something we brush off, move on from, and joke about.

In Filipino culture, there is a notion known as bayanihan, which signifies communal solidarity and collaboration. Bayanihan is a Filipino characteristic that is most visible at times of adversity, and the COVID-19 epidemic is no exception. A highly engaged team is critical to success during an event like a lockdown. Virtual cooperation may be difficult, but having a close-knit team of people that stick together makes overcoming problems simpler.

After all of our challenges and all of the things we have learned and continue to learn, I am convinced that we can all survive this epidemic - not just as better people, but also as an even stronger and more unified team.

For the president

Dear President Duterte,           I believed you in 2016 when you claimed you would. You were supposed to put an end to the corruption in our country. You were supposed to put an end to the Philippines' catastrophic presidential cycle. I noticed that you were unlike prior leaders in our country. I thought you were the driving force for change in the Philippines. I was entirely wrong.           You did a lot for our country, both good and bad, but the negative is more memorable to me since it had a bigger influence on me. Yes, I think that a drug war is a good idea, but I disagree with how you're going about doing it. Did you forget that criminals are human beings as well? Human rights are being trampled by the so-called "war on drugs." The government has admitted to 6,000 extrajudicial executions, which is far too many to be morally acceptable. The ongoing pandemic is your opportunity to redeem yourself, to show that you...

A New Normal: COVID-19 With Developed Learning Strategies and Modalities

 The COVID-19 epidemic has jolted the world, touching the lives of innumerable towns, families, and kids. The catastrophe that erupted was unprepared for by society. As a result of households' unequal access to technology, pillars such as educational equality have suffered. The education system has been challenged all around the world, but we must remember that with each crisis comes a chance for development. There are significant issues that are getting more intense as a result of the current global crisis. There are currently few stable impact solutions for regions and nations experiencing substantial issues with dependable internet connections and access to digital gadgets. We also have a very little grasp of how teachers, students, and parents are dealing with these new working methods. There is little or no evidence of cross-national collaboration, despite the fact that there is an ideal chance to do so, and instructors have been forced to utilize an unprepared system. As a re...
