The New Normal
Here in the Philippines, we are facing now the new normal due to COVID-19. It will never be the same as before. Precautions are being considered. Schooling will not be as the same before. The Department of Education (DepEd) will be implementing different delivery modes to be used in this school year 2020-2021. It might be face to face or online learning using other platforms like radio and television. The purpose is to continue the education. Though some don't like the idea because they say the 2 months lockdown or quarantine will become useless because there would be high risk. The DepEd wanted to ensure education will still takes place but also focuses of children's safety that is why precautionary measures should be implemented and teachers should be well trained to cope with the new normal. During the quarantine, I made different videos that can be used during homeschooling and online learning. DOLCH SIGHT WORDS

It's getting worse! COVID-19 in the Philippines
As of 4:00pm today, there are already 462 confirmed cases of COVID-19. The numbers are getting higher and it really caused an alarm to us. On the other hand, there are 18 who recovered as of today, it is still a good news though. But the saddest part, there are 33 deaths already. Why there is such a blown number of confirmed cases? It has been how many days already when President Rodrigo Duterte declared the Enhanced Community Quarantine in Luzon yet, cases are growing in number. Meanwhile, China donated 100k COVID-19 Testing Kits on March 21 and another 3,000 from Singapore for the Philippines to combat this virus that's killing people almost around the earth. The number of cases went high because of the testing kits given or done to those suspected virus carrier but the fear of Filipino people becomes worse. Why? I do not know if this is a fact or just a hear say, that these testing kits were used for VIPs specially so politicians and the members of their family. With this limited testing kits, the people who needed them must be prioritised like those under investigation and under monitoring. But a mass testing is highly suggested since contact tracing is hard to do and since on the first weeks, there are a lot of under monitoring and asymptomatic patients. I just really pray that God will spare us with this deadly virus.

COVID-19 sa Pilipinas, Nawa'y Matapos na
Sa huling datos ng Department of Health (DOH) sa Pilipinas, ang bilang ng mga kumpirmadong kaso ng may COVID-19 ay 230 na at 18 na ang mga namatay. Ilang araw palang ang nakalilipas. Naka-Community Quarantine na nga pero marami pa ring nakumpirma. Karamihan sa mga namatay ay nasa 60 pataas na taong gulang at may mga iba pang sakit. Ang pagkabahala ng mga mamamayan dito sa Ilocos ay nakababahala lalo pa't may kumpirmado ng 2 sa Caba, La Union. Ang nakatatakot kasi ay ang Asymtomatic ibig sabihin walang simtomas ng COVID pero ito pala ay positibo rito. Maiintindihan ko kung magpapanic ng ang mga tao ukol dito. Hindi ito pagiging OA o ano pa man pero kinakailangan ang kooperasyon ng bawat mamamayan lalo na ngayon. Maraming nagkakalat ng maling impormasyon at dahil dito marami na rin ang nagpapanic buying. Pasalamat nalang sa ibang establisyemonto dito sa Candon Ilocos Sur at alam nilang isipin ang kapakanan ng lahat. Isang halimbawa ang CSI Candon, kung saan hindi hinahayaang makabili ang isang tao ng napakaraming alcohol. Isa lamang para sa isang kustomer. Ang iba kasi sinasamantala na ang crisis na eto. Hindi ko naman nilalahat ang mga "online sellers" dahil ang iba sa kanila ay nakukuha ang mga alcohol o mask sa mas mahal ng halaga mula rin sa suppliers. Sana nga lang di na sila kumuha sa mga suppliers na ang hangad lang ay kumita. Napapaisip nga lamang ako ngayon, ngayong naka-enhanced community quarantine na, may mabebenta pa ba ang mga gahamang suppliers? kasi siyempre mababawasan na ang kanilang benta dahil hindi naman na lahat lumalabas ng kanilang tahanan. Mas nais na nga ng iba ang washable mask. Sa kabilang banda, sa panahong naka enhanced community quaratine tayo, heto naman ang panahong nakakarekober na ang ating inang kalikasan. Nabawasan na ang mga polusyon dulot ng mga sasakyan, mga pabrika at mga dumi. Nagkabonding na rin ang mga pamilya. Nakakapaglibang na rin ang mga subsob sa trabaho. Ngunit sa kabila ng mga positibong dulot ng enhanced quarantine ay siya namang pagtataya ng kalusugan at buhay ng ating mga frontliners tulad ng ating mga Doktor, Nars, Medical Staff at mga Pulis. Isang napakalaking hamon sa pagpigil ng pagkalat ng COVID. May bali-balita pa kasing may mga tumatakas matapos magpositibo sa COVID. Halos lahat alam na napakadaling makahawa ang COVID carrier. Mas marami pa ring negatibong dulot ng COVID na ito kaya sana naman lahat ay makibahagi sa layunin ng paaralan. Sana nga matapos na ang COVID na ito. Matatapos na rin sana ang pagkagahaman ng iba, matapos na ang pag-aalala at magsasama na rin ang mga kristiyano sa pagpupuri at pagsamba sa may kapal. Sa gitna ng crisis na ito, napagtanto ko na walang saysay ang yaman, walang saysay ang kagalingan.. sa Diyos pa rin tayo hihingi ng kaligtasan at kagalingan. COVID-19, nawa'y matapos ka na.

In the Midst of COVID-19
Corona Virus 2019 (COVID-19) is almost everywhere. This has been one of the great challenges to humans. But as we are facing this problem, what should we do?
Here in the Philippines, as of the moment, there are 187 confirmed cases of the COVID-19, 4 people who recovered, and 14 fatalities. With these, our government is doing everything to stop the spreading of the Virus. President Rodrigo Duterte declared a state of calamity due to the rising cases of COVID-19. However, the entire Luzon is under Enhanced Community Quarantine until April 12, 2020. For me, it is similar to what we call lock-down. Philippines is called a Christian Country because the there are more believers of Christ than other religions who don't believe in Christ. I belong to a Pentecostal Church and right now, I am here in Ilocos Sur - one of the provinces in Luzon. We cannot go out unless buying necessities. One person is only allowed to buy them. There are a lot of restrictions and it includes MASS gathering.
As a Christian, I go to church every Sunday to Praise and Worship God together with my co-believers. But at this time, we shall be having live streaming and we need to avoid mass gathering to avoid the spread of COVID-19. There are other christians who criticise churches due to the cancellation of Sunday services. They would even ask, "Where is your faith?" "Is COVID-19 greater than your God?" Hmmnn.. why do these people ask such questions in this time of crisis?
I am pleading to my fellow believers, can we just cooperate with our government? Can we just all pray for our country and other countries who are suffering too much because of this COVID-19. We are called to be the light of the world. Instead of criticism, let us cooperate. The government's plea is for us not to spread the virus and not to stop our faith. This is for the meantime only and it only requires obedience. Let us use this opportunity to spend our time to our families, to focus on simple things, we might be missing other simple yet important things before. Remember too that Satan even tempted Jesus to jump on from high place that God will surely take care of Him and won't let him be harmed and Jesus did not give in to that, rather he rebuked Satan.
Our faith will not stop. Our faith is not compromised just because of MASS gathering cancellation because of our fight to COVID-19. Let us then strengthen our faith - - - pray for one another. We can surpass this as long as we hold on to our faith. God heals and restores.
