INTRODUCTION
Situational Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and
presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and the world of
work. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating: tens of
millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of
undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to
132 million by the end of the year (WHO).
In terms of the world of work problem stated above, millions of enterprises face
an existential threat. Nearly half of the world’s 3.3 billion global workforce are at risk of
losing their livelihoods. Informal economy workers are particularly vulnerable because
the majority lack social protection and access to quality health care and have lost access
to productive assets. Without the means to earn an income during lockdowns, many are
unable to feed themselves and their families. For most, no income means no food, or, at
best, less food and less nutritious food ( LAO, IFAD & WHO, 2020).
While in the food situation, the pandemic has been affecting the entire food
system and has laid bare its fragility. Border closures, trade restrictions and confinement
measures have been preventing farmers from accessing markets, including for buying
inputs and selling their produce, and agricultural workers from harvesting crops, thus
1
disrupting domestic and international food supply chains and reducing access to healthy,
safe and diverse diets Criskaden, 2020. Unfortunately, the pandemic has decimated jobs
and placed millions of livelihoods at risk. As breadwinners lose jobs, fall ill and die, the
food security and nutrition of millions of women and men are under threat, with those in
low-income countries, particularly the most marginalized populations, which include
small-scale farmers and indigenous peoples, being hardest hit. As the world health
organization created the health protocol to lessen the scale of death and cases of the
coronavirus disease they also inflicted the higher chances of different issues.
However, the effect of various public health measures to contain the COVID-19
pandemic is not yet fully understood. Furthermore, recent studies increasingly support
quarantine measures as an effective precaution to curb transmission of the virus.
Moreover, quarantine appeared to be an effective virus mitigation measure in several
countries during previous SARS outbreaks in 2003 including Singapore, Canada and
China (Anna-leena, 2021). There are various kinds of isolation and quarantine measures
as well as systems to follow up on the implementation of these measures worldwide. In
Finland, isolation and quarantine measures are home based with an official notification
about the measures and regular phone-based follow up by health officials. Quarantined
persons without symptoms are usually not tested. Persons in quarantine are allowed to go
out in public as long as they are not in contact with other people. However, going to
work, school, or shopping is not permitted during quarantine (Timothee Dub, 2021). This
is based on the Communicable Diseases Act Infectious Disease Law that stipulates that
both quarantine and isolation are obligatory. Breach of the law is punishable by up to
2
three months of imprisonment. However, follow up on the adherence of the law is not
systematic.
Unfortunately, in the unplanned event those in quarantine determined themselves
isolated at domestic, without their typical routines. This rise in unstructured time,
combined with the enormous stress of the pandemic and its far fetching consequences on
both health and the economy, has led to widespread concerns, including worry about
social stigma (Anna-Leena, 2021). Stigma is a well-documented global barrier to health-
seeking behavior, engagement in care, and adherence to treatment across a range of
health conditions including infectious diseases. It may also occur due to patient isolation
and quarantine procedures.
Abovementioned, this stigma operates across different levels including in the
public sphere through public policies, in organizations, and in communities through
cultural values, norm, and attitudes in communities. Stigma also operates in interpersonal
relations related to family and friends, and on an individual level related to the
knowledge and skills of individuals to manage stigma (Hanna Nohynek, 2021). Although
previous studies indicate many similarities regarding stigma across countries, stigma is
also known to be context-specific, which necessitates understanding stigma in the given
context. COVID-19-related stigma has been reported in number of countries such as in
India, Ethiopia, Japan and Uganda. Stigma against healthcare workers associated with the
care of coronavirus patients has been reported widely as well. However, little is known
about the nature of coronavirus and COVID-19-related stigma, which is paramount for
developing effective stigma reduction strategies.

In addition, several studies have investigated the psychological experience of
quarantined individuals during major infectious disease outbreaks, but less focus has been
given to social and behavioral research that is necessary to develop meaningful support
strategies for those isolated or quarantined (Timothee Dub, 2021). This study aims to
review the forms, drivers, outcomes, and impact of social stigma towards those with
coronavirus and COVID-19 and their family members, and to shed light on their
quarantine experiences in order to develop operational recommendations for public health
officials in Finland and other similar cultural settings to better support people during and
after quarantine or isolation.
The coronavirus change the world in just a nap of our glittering eyes and the
people who live happy infiltrate by the fear and continuous illness. With this reason, the
leaders of country follow the world health organization to mitigate the spread of the
virus. Furthermore, to lessen the mortality rate that cause by the unseen enemy of the
people across the world.
In this regard, the research conduct this study to address a certain inquiry that
need to be answered and this is to know how the individual social life change and how
this affect the life of every single Filipino in respect to the current situation we are facing
already.
In the numerous studies conducted pertaining to the topic chosen which the
experiences of the student during the pandemic. A systematic literature review of these
studies presented that most of the studies conducted is about the experiences of the
people amidst the pandemic. In the way examination the researchers studies used a
4
formulated interview questionnaire resulted that most of the qualitative and quantitative
data are pertain to the sociological aspect of the people.
In addition, in the study of Toran et. al.(2020). During the Turkestan and Chinese
quarantine process the cultural in differences between the parents did not appear to
significantly reflect the responses of parents during the period of crisis.
Meanwhile, some of the study like Lages et. al.(2020), stated that " the household
income loss as well as impairment on some domains" which says that the occurring
quarantine cause by the pandemic give a high rate of unemployment as a mass gathering
in a place is prohibited to mitigate the increasing Covid19 cases. Another study that is
according to James &Comfort (2020) is that the Covid19 reveals a drastic effect the crisis
has had on sustainability in the hospitality industry. That crisis has offered a vision of a
more sustainable future.
Aside from that, in the learn about of Bilal & Samira (2020) which stated that the
most of the people during the urge of the coronavirus disease stay at home and the news
always talking to the disease which the people always checking the details about what is
happening to the country aside from that the family member are the only people they can
rely on and interact with. In connection to this, the quarantine take on a new role of
interaction as they getting trained from social distancing that being suggested of the
WHO. Furthermore, the activities that were often judged to be unnecessary and
individual activities became the focus in the midst of pandemic. Characteristically, their
spheres of action were reduced and activities that connect with people and leisure
activities disappeared, Atakashima et. al. (2020).
5
On the other hand, the practices of the family change as the family integration
brought on by the pandemic in the face of constrained and health care protocol which
being normalize now and then. The teachers’ practices in teaching also takes in different
place which technology is the medium of reaching the students and implies knowledge
from them. In this regard, the student has negative responses on the online classes based
on their experiences that they being struggle to cope up to the new situation and learning
process brought by the pandemic. However, student in Saudi revealed a positive and
negative impacts to the new social and educational lives of students in terms of the e-
learning.
A gap in the studies is seen in the way of in-depth exploration as to the
experiences of the people amidst the pandemic that were actually studying. Furthermore,
it seems to be the studies done is deemed more on the economic growth and family
related during the coronavirus. Also, they appears to be ambiguous of data on the
research study that can lead us for having difficulty to excavate the information needed.
Furthermore, each study focused on specific aspects of economic and practices of the
people that hard to reconcile with the idea.
On the stated research gaps, the researcher want to conduct this study to ascertain
the inquiry imposed above. The purpose of this paper is to Study and narrate the
experience of the individual and knowing how they become suited for the current time.
At this stage the researcher defined a personal theories pertaining to their own experience
during the pandemic that is necessary for individuality and life development.
Supplementary, skills development can improve productivity and help workers, including
6
youth, diversify their employment opportunities. Yet, skills development programmes
have been greatly affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, Tauvik Muhamad, 2020.
Framework of the Study
The study is guided by theories. The following are some of the included theories
that support the researchers and the paper. Theory of interactionist by Coakley,
According to Coakley Interactionist Theory, this is based on the ideas that when
the human beings interact with one another they give meanings to themselves, others and
the world around them. Interactionist give sense of who we are and how we are
connected to a number of things including families, friends and their practices and habits
which the interaction with the social world enrich us. Furthermore, it is always changing
depends on the time and place and people that are involved.
This theory of Coakley promotes social connection between people so that they
can cooperate with one another. They also motivate the government to achieve socially
approved goals through socially accepted means. The connection at the midst of
pandemic is highly necessary in order to be always updated and supplement the
knowledge we don’t know yet, however interaction personally is much better.
To the discussion of the theory he entails that this is the process which emphasize
the importance of observing, modelling and imitating the behaviours, attitudes and
emotional of others. In addition, it considers how environmental and cognitive factors
interacts to influence human learning and behaviour. Individuals that are observed are
7
models. In society everyone are surrounded by many influential models that provide
examples of behaviour.
The applied in the study has aspect that the people adapt things in their
environment when they are engaged in social activities. Supplement the idea that social
interaction must still be done amidst the Covid19 in respected to the health protocol
because this give the way on how individual will behave at the time of the pandemic.
According to the quotation of Athey (2007) she describes those children learn
from their environment and the people around them, and also children are more active in
learning with their parents roles which is connected to the theory proposed by
Paget’s(1981) Theory of social development.
It is the concept of the study that upon interaction with other people we have the
opportunity to learn more. The learning will be take place by exchanging ideas and
thought with other, the social well-being will be completely worth it by being socially
interactive. Being active in interaction and socializing ourselves is something we not
burden as we more boast our confidence and filling our mind with word of wisdom that
we can use in different situation.
The way we engage our self to interaction with others will be an opportunity to be
open-minded as we going to acknowledge the new ideas that people sharing with us and
think a new application that we can relate to our situation. The way we approach other
will also be improved and will deem our relationship with others especially with our
parents. As instance, they can easily open the table to address some issues like school
activities, problems etc.

The theory also entails that we imitate and set as a model to our learning
especially in adapting the environment.

METHODOLOGY
Research design
The research method that is used for this study is Narrative approach and through
this method researcher used qualitative-narrative inquiry to gather data which entails the
people through record experiences of an individual or small group (students), revealing
the experience or particular perspectives of that individual, usually primary through
interviews which then recorded and ordered into chronological narrative. Narrative
research was considered by the researcher as a way to democratise the documentation and
experience of wider gamut of the society (Deikin University, 2021).
Sources of Data
Ten students are selected as the respondents for the research. In the manner of
selecting the respondents or population needed for the research study. The researcher are
oblige to focuses on the potential/target respondent who have the familiarity with the
phenomenon. Upon selection the researcher must find participants who are willing to
speak about their experiencing without using threat or force power to respond to the
study. The participant for the research is ten person to have the minimum respondent to a
qualitative research study. The process of selecting is upon inclusion criterion.
Instrumentation and Data Collection
11
The researchers will be used interviews and even surveys or questionnaire are the
tools to gather the data needed to the study. The instrument will be used research
formulated questionnaire which need to be validated in order to verify the validity of the
researchers questionnaire.
This will help a lot to research as they can collect is easily and identify the answer
that the respondent do. The data is collected to further subjective to the hypothesis testing
which seeks to explain a phenomenon. Upon collecting data the researchers should not
bias by showing their emotion and feelings about the process of data collection.
Analysis of Data
Qualitative analysis can be a lot of work. In many ways, qualitative data can be
challenging and time consuming to analyse and interpret (Warren, 2020). This research
study followed the general process that research uses as stated by Creswell (2013).
Step 1: Gather and organize data for analysis
Step 2: Reducing the data into themes via coding and condensing codes
Step 3: display the data in figures, tables or discussion
Using this method, the collected data was then reduced. With this, the researcher
was able to have an in-depth reflection with regard to the experiences of students during
the pandemic. Guided by the general process stated by Creswell (2013), the researchers
were able to determine the case and write description of it.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Experiences of students during pandemic
The researcher gather the information through interviews that consist of six
questions answering by the selected respondent of the research which is the college
student. The different questions caters to answer the statement of the problem to describe
the experience of the students during the hike of the pandemic. The feeling urge, their
action, personally encountering will be deem on the experiences of the students.
Wherein, six out of ten respondent said that they are indulge with more
responsibility during the pandemic as they are loaded with activity from the schools then
a household’s responsibility on their house. From this which implies that they struggle a
lot during the pandemic and don’t have time for some rest even at night. The cited
statement is came from respondent 1, respondent 3, respondent 4, respondent 8, 9 and 10
states that they are pamper with works unlike before.
Respondent 1: asa bahay lang ako pero sobrang
daming Gawain lalo nab ago palang satin yun sitwasyon.
Daming school requirements tapos nadagdagan pa ng
Gawain bahay. …kaya naman dinapo ako masyado
makatulog kakaisip don… (I’m just in the house but during
that time I have a lot of works especially the scene is new
13
to me. There’s a lot of school requirement plus a house
holds chores. …that’s why I don’t have enough sleep…)
Respondent 3: “actually po napakadami kasi aside
from schools activities meron din pong mga Gawain bahay
dagdag pa po rito yung pagbabantay ng bata.
...kaya po na stress ako…” (Actually, here is a lot
aside from schools activity there still house holds chores
plus the baby sitting. …that’s why I’m stress…)
Respondent 4: “tulad po ng karamihan mga bagay
po na ginagawa ko is schools activities tapos minsan mga
pinapagawa po nila sa bahay.” (like most of the people
things like paper works/school activities then sometimes
they let me do something in the house)
Respondent 8: “ natutulog po minsan naglilinis at
minsan naluluto po pero a activity po ako nadadamihan
lalo na ang konti ng panahon na binibigay nila sa
napakadaming activity”(… sleeping, sometimes I cook and
clean the hosue but I’m on more activity giving, that they
give us short of time to finish a lot of activity).
Respondent 9: “masyado po kong busy sa mga
bagay bagay na ibinibigay sakin tulad ng module at sa
14
mga Gawain bahay na hindi matapos tapos magagalit pa
sila pag naupo kalang saglit” (I’m too busyon different
things that is given to me like my school module and
different household chores that ins’t ended then they get

Respondent 10: “dumami po yung responsibilidad
ko eh ma pa sa bahay man, sa pamangkin ko at sa mga
Gawain ko sa school tapos mag o online class pa” ( my
responsibility multiply in the house, with my niece and
nephew, and to my module and online class).
All the student having their own battles and the six out of ten have the hardest
work among them. They work at day to night just to have the time to finish them in a day
and rush things to submit it on time. Unfortunately, the negative effect of the way they
work is that they can cause their body to feel sick. As they lack of sleep and also
experiencing stress because of the over work. Meanwhile, the four out of ten respondents
said that they have the quality time for relaxation but still have to finish their school
activities unlike the respondent above that they give more responsibility and doesn’t have
time to relax.
Respondent 2: “..Nasa bahay lang po ako and relax
lang po sa umaga tapos mag rurush ng activity pag
duedate na po and thankful po ako kasi di ako pinapagawa
sa bahay.” (I’m just in the house and relax in the morning
15
then going to rush my activity at the day of duedate and
I’m thankful because they don’t give me house works)
Respondent 5: “mostly po babad po sa internet
games and mga kdramas and sa activity din po lalo wala
napong discussion bigay nalang ng module tapos bahala
kana.” ( Mostly, I’m soaked with internet games and
Korean dramas and in my activity especially there is no
more discussion they will just give and its up to you to
finish.)
Respondent 6: “nasa mga halaman lang po ako
habang gumagawa ng activities buti na lang po at di ako
pinapagawa sa bahay” (I’m just in the garden doing my
activities and luckily they don’t give me house hold
chores).
Respondent 7: “ nagninilay nilay lang po ako
iniisip mga ibat ibang bagay wala din po kasi ako s focus
sa online learnin eh kaya nahihiga na lang po ako ganun”
(I’m just lying on my bed thinking about random things
because I don’t have the focus in online learning so that’s
why have free time).
In the other hand the two remaining respondent having the time for leisure has the
advantages in creating their activity in school yet they manifest procrastination as they
16
are attracted with online games and sometimes just waiting for the deadline. In
connection with the additional works, this case urge some struggles to our respondent that
make them experience difficulty in during the time of doing their different task assign
from them. The struggles meet by the respondent have different reasons causes them to
stress their selves six out of ten respondents struggles on managing their time to finish
their works that causes them to pass it late. As the two struggles the effect of this to their
performance, active and grade with be bad.
Respondent 1: “…napakahirap po humabol sa mga
deadline dahil sa tambak na Gawain lalo napo hindi ako
makafocus dahil sa dami ng ginagawa ko. Kaya diko po
minsan nsusubmit in duedate.” (Its really hard to meet the
deadline because of bombarded works especially I can’t
focus on my work. So sometimes I didn’t meet the
deadline.)
Respondent 3: “sa pagti time management po ako
talaga nahirap kasi super siksik nako sa mga dapat gawin
sa bahay tapos sa schools pa po. Lalo nap o sa bahay ako
po ang panganay nasa balikat ko lahat ng responsibilidad
sa mga kapatid ko po.” ( I really struggle on time
management because I’m dense with works in house and
school especially I’m the eldest which all responsibility
with my siblings is within my shoulders)
17
Respondent 7: “… na o out of focus po talaga ako
sa mga activity lalo po hindi ko maisingit sa mga
pinapagawa sakin sa bahay kaya kadalasan late po ako at
minsan naman po hindi ko na naipapasa pa yung activity”
Respondent 8: “…dahil nga po nagsasabay sabay
yung pagbibigay nila ng activity at hindi matapos tapos na
gawaing bahay ang hirap po maghanap ng time para
magpahinga kaya di po umaabot sa deadine yung mga
activities ko”(
Respondent 9: “dahil madami po ang pinapagawa
sakin sa bahay at sa school hindi ko po alam kung ano
uunahin ko dahil na ra rattle ako sa sobang kalituhan at
dami nila”
Respondent 10: “kulang po talaga ako sa time na
naibibigay sa mga module kasi madami poi yon tapos
kailangan mo talagang magbasa sa bahay naman
kailangan nila ako para makatulong kaya diko po
napapass agad mga activity ko”
Moreover, the four out of ten respondent state that they experiences struggle in
the part that they didn’t understand the module send by them and the new setting of
learning. As they being set into new way of learning the absence of discussion will lead
18
to the issue mention a while ago. Especially before covid19 occur most of the student
learn through interactive discussion in the classroom setting. In this regard, they rely on
browsing the internet and even ask for friends help to accommodate them from their
difficulties.
Respondent 2: “…sobra po akong nahirapan sa
pag aadjust sa new way of learning po kasi mas active po
ako noon eh pero ngayon parang nakakatamad po yung
pakiramdam.” ( … I struggle the most on adjusting myself
to the new way of learning because I’m active before
pandemic unlike now that I felt lazy.)
Respondent 4: “…sa mga schools activities po
talaga ako nahirapan kasi meron po yung mga time na
hindi kopo masyado maintindihan yung lesson tapos
pagnag browse ka naman sa internet magulo padin.” ( I
really suffered on my school activities because there is a
time that I don’t understand the lesson and the if you
browse in internet is make vague.)
Respondent 5: “nahirapan po ako sa pag intindi at
pag aadjust po kasi bago lang sakin yung ikaw magbabasa
tapos ikaw iintindi parang binigay lang sayo yung module
tapos kami na bahala sa lahat.” (I suffered in terms of
understanding and adjusting myself especially it’s new for
19
me that you’re the one who will read, understand the
module being send.)
Respondent 6: “… sa pag intidi po ng mg module
ko kasing mas sanay po talaga ako na may nagtuturo hindi
tulad ngayon na ibibigay na lang nila” ( in understanding
the modules because I’m used to the time that teachers
teach us unlike now that they are going to give it to us).
The internet serve as a teacher during the online classes but some of the data isn’t
reliable and give them vague ideas that what they expect and also browsing might causes
issues like plagiarism if they didn’t put their citation.
The respondent come up their struggles in different way but four out of the five
respondent says that they adapt the new life by the social media which help them to shift
their attention to the new things. They adapt the new learning as they used of website in
the internet or even talking their friends online to seek help or get rid of boredom and
stress during that period. Furthermore, they also say that they used to it already so they
overcome those difficulties.
Respondent 1: “…nasanay na lang po ako dahil
ilang buwan din naman po yung nakalipas tsaka sa tulong
na din po ng social media lalo po isa poi to sa nagging
libangan ko. “(…I’m just used to it because it almost a
month is done already and with the help of social media
especially this is one of my entertainment.)

20
Respondent 3: Nasanay na lang po ako kasi noong
mahirap talaga pero ng tumatagal na parang nagiging
normal na lang po sakin lahat na hindi nako nahihirapan
ganun po. (I’m used to it because before it was so hard but
when it lasted it seems like everything is normal.)
Respondent 4: “siguro po dahil nadin sa social
media kasi pampatagal kop o siyang ng stress and more on
motivational quotes din po kasi binabasa ko hehehe.” (I
though because of the social media that one of my relief
because I’m reading more motivational.
Respondent 5: “dahil po sa kdrama and online
games po nawala po yung pag aalala ko and even negative
thoughts ko and sa mga friends ko din po na laging
nandyan if kailngan ko sila” ( because of Korean drama
and online games I get rid on my negative thoughts and my
friends are always there if I needed.)
Respondent 6: “sa social media po dahil nalilibang
po ako ng mga apps at nawawala yung pagka stress ko”
(on social media because it get rid me on boredom and
stress too).
Respondent 7: “nanood nalang po ako sa youtube
ganun ng anime or di naman po kaya naglalro ng mobile

21
legends pag need kopo magpahinga at maka alis sa stress
ko sa activities” ( I’m just watch anime in youtube and
sometimes playing mobile legennds if I need some break
and to get off rid to stress).
Respondent 9: “pag na o overdo ko po ang sarili ko
talaga dahil sa mga Gawain na naibibigay I just listen to
music po pampakalma ko at makaiwas na din sa ratle ko”
(when I overdo myself because of different works I just
listen to my playlist to relax and calm my self and to get rid
into my ratle)
Meanwhile, the three respondent say that with the help of her friends she
overcome with her difficulties as she always approach them for help and even if the ask
her or vice versa. Friends are really reliable during this time has they will be a big help
for them to stay active in interaction even at online. The motivation gets from the friends
is one of the reason why they fight and still doing things at their best even they are in the
hardest moment.
Respondent 2: “sa tulong po ng mga kaibigan kop
o kasi sila po yung laging tumutulong sakin during my
difficulties po na nagmomotivate sakin lagi.” ( with the
help of my friends because they are always there if I need
help during my difficulties which they motivate me
always.)
22
Respondent 8: “my friends always on my back
during pandemic especially when I experienced anxiety
they are the one who make me calm and gradually
overcome it.
Respondent 10: “…nong times na nahihirapan
napo ako bigla bigla po silang nagchachat sakin tapos
magsesend ng mga sagot or minsan manglilibre po ng
foods parang sila po yung dahilan bakit nakakapagpatuloy
parin ako” (…when the hard time of mine they will
suddenly chat me then sending some of the answer of the
module od sometime they treat me food and because of
then I continue to my study).
The statement will be a proof that even they are not talking physically there are
still a way that they make their bonds active through online communication, they can
reach easily with their trusted friend with this advancement and ask many thing in very
efficient and effective way. The friends we trusted are the person that will know us when
we face difficulties and problem. It was thoroughly shown that keeping in touch with our
close one will give us rest and a helping hands for both emotional and physical needs.
Social interaction during COVID19
23
In this, the respondent changes the way they communicate with other people and
because it was during the hike of the pandemic most of them cage their self in their house
and fade their connection with the people which is necessary for everyone to have
accompany especially during this period. However, the people advancement they can.’t
stop them from reaching with their special someone or even friends.
In terms of the way they communicate to their friends and especially someone
during the pandemic five out of five respondent state that they use social media to have
connection with them and in order to remember their strong bonds before the pandemic.
Respondent 1: “mostly po through social media na
lang po kami nag uusap dahil nga po s takot ko nab aka
mahawa sa virus pero during the pandemic hindi napo
kami masyado nag uusap kasi busy busy na kami pareho.”
(mostly we interact through social media because we are
afraid to meet each others in the reason that we get the
virus but during the pandemic we often to talk because we
are all busy.)
Respondent 2: “actually po hindi na kami masyado
nakakapag usap kasi busy na siguro sila sa activity nila
pero pag in terms naman po pag kailangan ko sila
tinatawagan naman po nila ako.” (actually, we aren’t talk
too much already because maybe they are busy on their
activity but in terms that I need them I will just call them)
24
Respondent 3: “sa messenger na lang po kami
nagkakamustahan which is apaka boring the po kasi
dinamin dama yung pag uusap naming. Eh takot naman
din po kami lumabas.” ( we communicate through
messenger saying hello which is boring sometimes because
we didn’t felt the excitement. We are afraid to go outside.)
Respondent 4: “syempre po sa mga online chat
apps na lang po kami tulad ng messenger na nag uusap
pero hindi napo kami tulad noon eh na laging nag uusap
kaya nagging boring din po yung time ko noong
pandemic.” (of course through online application like
messenger is the thing we use to communicate but we’re
not like before that we always talk that is pandemic is
boring.)
Respondent 5: “: tawag tawag na lang po or chat
na lang sa messenger ganun na lang po kami nag uusap.” (
just call and chat on messenger is the way we use to talk.)
Respondent 6: “gumagamit po talaga ako ng
gadgets tulad ng karamihan kasi ito po yung best way na
makipag usap at para hindi na dumami pa yung mga cases
sa lugar natin” ( I used gadgets during that time like
25
everyone because this is the best way to talk with others
and even to lessen the cases in our place).
Respondent 7: “Malaki kasi role ng technology for
communication kaya ako at buong tao na kilala ko sa
social media na kami nakikipag usap dahil bawal pa
makipag usap in real world”( there is a big role of
technology for today’s communication that’s why me and
the person I know is talking through their social media
because we can’t talk to each other personally).
Respondent 8: “ …sa social media na lang kami
nag uusap ng pamilya at mga kaibigan ko ng may
pandemic na and isa pa dahil nga ditto mas madai na
makipag usap tsaka iwas pa sa virus” ( … we talk through
the use of social media with my friends and family when is
was pandemic because it so easy to communicate using
them).
It entails that the technology have crucial role for our respondent as this is the
thing they use to approach people. The communication still active during the pandemic
but virtually so, this will also their reason why they can’t live without their gadgets. Now
this is way our respondent interact, there is a big impact to our respondent the urge of the
pandemic as they change a lot and they folded their self with negative thought that scare
them the most. Like the 2 respondent statements.
26
The five out of ten respondent are currently afraid to interact with others. This
implies that they have the thought that they might got infected in virus even we have less
cases right now. Furthermore they rely on technology to transact and communicate as it
give them efficiency and prevent them to get infected in covid.
Respondent 3: “diko pa po kaya makipag usap sa
iba kasi ano po takot parin po ako tsaka feel ko po baka
bigla akong mahawa ng virus sa pakikipag usap ko eh”
( I’m not yet ready to interact because I’m afraid that I feel
of a sudden I got infected to the person I’m talking)
Respondent 4: “sa ngayon po talaga ginagamit ko
mga social media para makipag usap sa iba dipa po ako
handing humarap sa personal kasi takot pa po ako and
must convenient sakin na sa email ko na lang ganun po.”
( as of now, I use the social media to communicate with
others I’m not yet ready to face others and must convenient
when I use my email like that.)
Respondent 6: “natatakot po ako na mahipag usap
sa mga tao kahit na sabihing may vaccine hindi parin
maiiwasan na makuha mo yung sakit, kaya iniiwasan kopo
talaga makihalubilo” (I’m scared to talk with others even
they vaccine is already here I cant get rid to get it that’s is
why I don’t want to talk to others)
27
Respondent 8: “ay takot ako maki pag usap kasi
mahirap magkasakit e, kung makikipag usap naman ako
toda face mask alcohol tsaka malayo talaga ako sa
kinakausap ko ( I’m afraid to talk anyone else because it
hard if I get sick and gt infected with the coronavirus and if
I can’t get rid to talk someone well I do always the health
protocol).
Respondent 9: …dati pa po akong mahiyahin dahil
introvert nga po ako at mas nakukuha ko ang kaligayahan
kapag mag isa lang ako at dahil nagkapandemic hindi
nako nailing sa set up ko” (…back the I’m a shy type
because I’am introvert who find happiness when I’m alone
and when pandemic strike I don’t feel change I’m still shy
to talk with other)
The fear of the respondent initiate them to avoid interacting with others physically
and through that fear they make their way to still communicate without physical
interaction. The practicality of them urge and think immediate ideas to address the
problem.
Moreover, the remaining five respondent state that they lost their self-confidence
from talking from other person as they are not used to it during the pandemic. Especially
there are not physically engage in taking to other people that might the reason that they
are shy to talk in person already.
28
Respondent 1: “… sa totoo lang po nahihiya na ako
makipag usap sa labas kasi parang di napo ako sanay
humarap sa mga tao nasanay na po ako sa tawag ganoon
po.” (… to be honest I’m shy to interact with others outside
because it’s like I’m not used to it, I’m into a call like that.)
Respondent 2: “ano po dina ako masyado
nakikipag usap sa ibang tao kasi di po ako sanay at
nahihiya po ako makipag usap unlike before po.” ( I’m not
too much in talking to others because I’m not used to it
unlike before.)
Respondent 5: “…nakikipag usap ako na puno po
ng hiya kasi diko alam ko paano makipag usap na sa
personan dina ako sanay lalo na baka may masabi sila
sakin ganun.” (…I’m talking with others will full of shame
because I don’t really know how to talk personally
especially if the will have some rumors to me after.)
Respondent 7: “…nahihiya ako makipag usap sa
iba kaya naman minsan yung kapatid ko inuutusan ko
makipag usap or hindi kaya sina mama at papa” ( I’m shy
on taking to others so sometimes I let my siblings talk to
them or my parents).
29
Respondent 10: “…hindi ako nahihiyang humarap
sa mga tao pero ng nagkapandemic doon po nagbago kasi
mahirap po magkasakit eh lalo na experience kuna mag
quarantine apaka hirap po lalo mag isa ka lang” (…I’m
not shy of talking to others but when pandemic strike it
change, because it hard to feel sick especially I experienced
to quarantine its so hard when you are alone).
Has the participant are not engage in physical interaction their self-confidence
decrease and the shame of talking to others will be a big threat from learning as they are
not capable to express their thought and ideas expressively. Interaction is necessary as it
will be a exchanging of ideas that allow everyone to re-learn and learn from each other.
The decrease of self-confidence is a great lost for people.
Current perspectives about the social interrelationship
The researchers’ respondent to social interrelationship pertaining on the way that
they meet their needs and lack the closeness and their interdependence of personal
relationship. In this the respondent share the way they communicate with their social
relationship and almost the respondent are afraid to engage their self as it deem their
thought that they might get the covid when they socialize even though it create them
meaning in interaction.
30
Respondent1: “…paghindi po ako nakikipag usap
po sa iba lalo napo sa mga kaibigan ko prang kulang po
araw ko kasi sa pakikipag usap kop o sakanila nabibigyan
kop o yung sarili ko na ng bagay na diko maipaliwanag..”
(…when I don’t talk with others especially with my friends
I feel like there is something missing because when I talk to
them I gave myelf something that I can explain.)
Respondent 2: …sa pagkikipag usap kop o saknila
may nalalaman po ako eh tungkol sa nangyayari tsaka
nakakapag isip din po ako kung ano gagawin ko. (…
through talking to them I learn something what happen and
I able to think what I’am goining to do.)
Respondent 3:… sa mga kaibigan kop o talaga
nakita ko na kung diko sila nakakausap siguro hanggang
ngayon diko pa alam kung anong dapat kung gawin sa mga
school works ko. ( on my friends I see that if I don’t talk to
them I’m sure that I don’t know what to do on my school
works.)
Respondent 4: …nakakapag isip naman nap o ako
kung ano yung magagawa ko kahit na hindi ko kausapin
mga kaibigan or kamag anak kop o pero minsan namn po
nahihirapan ako kaya kinakusap ko sila kung ano pwd nila
31
ma advice. (…I able to think on what I’am goining to do
even without the help of my friends but sometimes I have
difficulty so I talk to them for advice.)
Respondent 5: …diko po talaga makakaya mag isa
kasi mas nagwowork po ako pag may kausap o kasama
kahit na sa tawag lang kami nag uusap ganun po tulad po
sa school works tulungan po kami ng kaibigan ko sa
paggawa ng activity. ( I can’t really do my work with my
own because I’m into group work like in the school me and
my friends help each other to do the activity.)
Respondent 6: “kung hindi dahil po sakanila hindi
kop o siguro makakaya itong problema sa acivties ko and
even personal problem kopo lalo nong nagka anxiety ako,
sila po yung andoon kaya need ko lagi sila” ( if does not
because of them I cant deal with my problem on activities
and also to my personal problem especially I experience
anxiety and they are there for me).
Respondent 7: “… mahirap talaga mag isa ngayon
pandemic lalo may kanya kanya tayong problema sa buhay
at kung hindi dahil sa tulog ng ibang tayo o ng kaibigan at
kamag anak ko baka hindi ko malagpasan ang mga
iyun”( it is really hard to be alone during the
32
pandemicesecially we have our own problem and if not
because of them with my friends and relatives maybe I
cant overcome my problem).
Respondent 8: ‘…sobrang nakatulong po ang
pakikipag usap ko sakanila sa gitna ng pandemya lalo nap
o sa mga Gawain ko and sa mental health kop o noon na
napawi unti unti.” (…it help me a lot when I talk to them
amist the pandemic especially with my works and mental
heal issue that gradually heal).
Respondent 9: “mahirap pag wala pong kaibigan
ngayon even na introvert po ako need ko parin mga
kaibigan ko na samevibes para atleast may interaction
parin po samin”
Respondent 10: “hindi kop o makakaya pag wala
mga kaibigan at relatives kop o dahil sanay po ako na
nadyan sila para kausapin at kamustahin ako minsan
tulungan” (I can’t do anything with my friends and
relatives because I’m used to be there with them and talk to
me and even help me in life).
The help of others always needed by our participants anywhere they go through
as they help them in the way the give a helping hands and even they give some
information they didn’t know upon this process they can manage the difficulties they are
33
encountering and also they are equip with ideas that they can use. The meaning of this is
that we consider companion as a help and transmission of ideas. They rely with their
friends and relatives has they know the difficulty of being independent in works during
the hike of pandemic and now they realize that with a friends and people to be with them
they can be done with no hassle.

Chapter 4
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Summary
The main objective of this study is to narrate the experiences of the student during
the coronavirus pandemic. Specifically, this research aim to know their experiences, the
impact of their experiences in terms of social learning through interaction and
relationship build during the events. This study used qualitative-narrative inquiry
research approach and the sample was selected in purposive sampling methods. By
conducting interviews in person and via phone call the information needed is being
collected and transcript then data is being interpret the result. The findings of the research
study revealed that:
1. Student experience during pandemic
The students during the time of coronavirus they are bombarded with
enormous responsibility and works in schools and even in house. They are being
occupied and working hard to do all these things and works all day. However, there are
some that have some time for their leisure yet they do their activity at rush hour which
they cause them trouble.
The student trouble meeting their deadline especially they encounter
difficulty in understanding their module on their own and also because they are they with
different work that cause them stress. In this reason they can’t really submit their activity
35
on time that being set by the teachers. The adjustment of student also the conflict of the
student especially this is new settings for them. They overcome their difficulty through
help of a friends and the social media.
2. Social interaction during COVID
Communication was considered essential to students being away with
their friends and special someone in which they need to talk in difficult time. Connecting
with friends are things that is inevitable, the importance of constant communication is
that it will lead to build their relationship. Someone can’t stand to do all work alone. The
feeling of being alone and hard to overcome struggles can be a way that student will lost
hope during the pandemic. The battle of one’s person is hard a companion is needed to
move forward and to make things easy without the communication and interaction during
that period will deem problem. Student are seeking help for their friends if they meet a
school hardship and rely to them what things must they do. They lost self-confidence as
they are not constantly engage with interaction.
3. Current perspectives about the social interrelationship
The social relationship of the students are still present during the
pandemic as the student still really on their friends and relatives with advice and help for
their difficult times. It was entails that they still approach with them asking for help and
information they didn’t know during that period. The student are independent with other
people as they need them to help them overcome and pass all the struggle they experience
in the place of school and house.
36
Conclusion
1. The hardship of the student during pandemic tear them down into pieces as
they can’t have the enough time to rest. The activity assigned by teachers to the students
lead them to rattle the ideas on the module as they are not yet capable of adapting the new
learning methods and without the presence of teacher. In the other hands, parent musn’t
be consider the works of their child especially they still studying in the midst of
pandemic.
2. Communication technologies helps the student manage to communicate better
and feel closer to one another. The communication experiences of the student during
pandemic boost positive effects in social interaction as it will allow them to perform well.
Despite of the phenomenon barriers they still make communication still there.
3. Social relationship of the student is deem to be slightly different from the good
old days yet they still manifest the interaction with their relatives and friends. They
treasure the presence of having there on their side as they go through different challenges.
They can’t deal the different works without them. They approach other people when they
encounter problem and ask for a helping hands.
Recommendation
1. The difficulty of the student during the coronavirus pandemic which they
experienced share. Further, study will provide an overview and even add some concepts
37
on the experiences of the student during the hike of the pandemic. They will consider that
during the pandemic the difficulty of student is based on their different works indicate
that they we’re occupied. The future will help them to understand and provide data on the
experience during pandemic.
2. As communication is fundamental part of transactional with friends and relative
during the pandemic as proven in the study, further study on Student experience during
the pandemic especially in their social interaction will provide a comprehensive
understanding of the factors of healthy communication with student and their friends will
provide a background on how they keep in touch with others during the pandemic.
3. The presence of the especially people during their difficult situation. The
social relationship deem essential during the pandemic which proven in the study.
Furthermore, the experiences of interaction of the student to their friends seems to build
understanding that we need consider in the further study as we give supplementary data
regarding to their social interrelationship.
