    The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the Philippines, with the government response being slow and inefficient distribution of supplies. This has hit low-income workers especially hard with businesses shut down. While the author is grateful their family is not greatly affected, they worry for their uncle who is a frontline doctor. There have also been small acts of kindness, but concerns remain about potential future waves of the virus and being better prepared for the next pandemic through supporting each other.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has definitely shaken our society, especially here in the Philippines.

    The
    country and government’s response to the sudden surge of cases in the Philippines was sluggish to say
    the least. Moreover, the distribution of supplies and food items to both ordinary citizens as well as
    frontliners continues to be inefficient. News of politicians choosing to label relief goods for their
    constituents with their names means that time was wasted instead of just handing out the relief goods
    as soon as possible.More than just being saddened by the cancelation of our graduation I recognize that
    there are many more concerns in our country that require our attention. The shut down of businesses
    has truly hit our country hard, as a whole. It especially affects blue collar workers and employees who
    generally live on a paycheck to paycheck basis. It is immensely frustrating that the government
    continues to respond late to the needs of the people during this troubling time. In my case I am very
    grateful that my family is not one that is greatly affected by non-essential businesses being shut down
    during the quarantine.

    I cannot begin to feel what the frontliners in our hospitals throughout the country are
    experiencing right now. I am thankful that I am at home safe and that all I need to do to stay safe is to
    follow the rules of the community quarantine. However, I have an uncle who is a doctor and is currently
    serving as a frontliner in PGH. Every day I pray for his well-being that he may be able to stay healthy
    until this pandemic ends and he is able to come home safely.In light of all the negative effects of this
    pandemic there have also been little acts of kindness by ordinary people which make their way into the
    news. People showing that despite what’s going on in the world right now we still need to stick together
    and lend each other a helping hand throughout this crisis. I see Jesus in the frontliners who sacrifice
    their health to help people recover from the virus.

    When thinking and reflecting about the future I am just flooded with emotions, namely relief,
    anxiety, and hopefulness. I am relieved to hear that the Philippines is starting to eliminate the COVID-19
    virus, it’ll be like the light at the end of a dark tunnel. I will be overjoyed when the news comes that we
    may start to leave our houses again and attempt to live life as we did before the pandemic. However
    with this sense of relief may also come a sense of anxiety, countries like Singapore have experienced
    second as well as third waves of the virus and that may very well happen to the Philippines too. Lastly,
    the future makes me feel hopeful that from this pandemic we learn to be more prepared. Hopefully
    measures will be put in place to be able to help the less fortunate during the next pandemic.Our society
    should learn to be able to wrap our arms around one another in a time of crisis like this. Hoarding of
    supplies such as alcohol and masks should no longer be a practice the next time we encounter a virus
    similar to this. Instead we must help our neighbor and learn to look out for one another which indirectly
    helps you protect yourself from the virus as well. God is calling for us to exercise the Filipino quality of
    “bayanihan” so that we may be able to get through this pandemic together united as a country.
