A Tough One

January 1, 2020, we were very happy to open a new year, many kids are jumping, and rejoicing everywhere and a lot of us are very excited for new chapter in our lives. But COVID-19 showed up that we didn’t expect to come. Many countries closed down its borders and implemented strict protocols in order for the virus to stop spreading. The virus closed down many schools, businesses, and also lives. As the pandemic continues to hurt many lives, a lot of us are still trying to recover from this pandemic. Our lives can be shut down by the pandemic but we are fighters, fighting for our lives and fighting for a COVID-19 world.                                 

            All of the countries in the world have been affected by this pandemic, including the Philippines. Our government did the necessary things just to prevent the spread of the virus, but for me they take things so slowly. They did implement lockdowns, wearing of facemask and many more, but for me they could do it before the virus actually spreads in our country. The government’s response to the virus is very slow to the point that during the community lockdowns, cases still rises. Not like the other countries, they have contained the virus already. I want to add that the government choose to give more funds to the polices and other projects rather than giving more funds for our healthcare. I also want to add the wrongdoings of the people; we must follow all the protocols for us to finally end this pandemic. In this fight against the virus, we must learn how to speak and to tell what we really want. As we fight for the COVID-19 pandemic, we must be resilient, we must fight back and be a tougher version for our self and for our country. The war between this virus can be very destructive and deadly but with unity, and discipline in our community we can, we can finally put an end to this pandemic.

            We can achieve a more resilient Philippines if we have unity and discipline in our self, and in the community. Having and improving discipline in our self can make a big impact in our situation today. Like discipline in our self we also must have to carry the unity in our community, for us to move forward and defeat the virus having the unity with us can and within the community can show that we really are resilient. Always remember that this pandemic isn’t just the problem of the government but also our problem. We can achieve the covid-free world if we do the things that can benefit us, We must do our part to finally end this pandemic once and for all.
