Let’s get it, let’s fight it

-

     There is a dangerous disease that is spreading all around the world, the coronavirus or Covid-19. It is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome. According to the World Health Organization, vaccines save millions of lives each year.



    Vaccines work by training and preparing the body’s natural defenses – the immune system – to recognize and fight off the viruses and bacteria they target. After vaccination, if the body is later exposed to those disease-causing germs, the body is immediately ready to destroy them, preventing illness. Vaccines are a critical new tool in the battle against COVID-19 and it is hugely encouraging to see so many vaccines proving successful and going into development. Working as quickly as they can, scientists from across the world are collaborating and innovating to bring us tests, treatments and vaccines that will collectively save lives and end this pandemic. Being vaccinated does not mean that we can throw caution to the wind and put ourselves and others at risk, particularly because it is still not clear the degree to which the vaccines can protect not only against disease but also against infection and transmission. It is important to be vaccinated as soon as possible once its your turn and not wait.



    While no vaccine is 100 percent safe, approved COVID-19 vaccines provide a high level of defense against being critically ill and dying from the disease. While a COVID-19 vaccine can protect you from severe illness and death, we don't know how well it can prevent you from being infected and spreading the virus to others. The more we allow the virus to spread, the more chances it has to evolve. So, we should still follow the health protocols even when vaccinated.

      Philippines is now facing a pandemic. Philippines is in a crisis where the people and the government is not getting along. It is hard to recover from this impact the COVID-19 caused. It is not only the virus killing people but the poverty. In recovering a country, the people must work together. It may take a lot of time and hard work in resilient. People starts to recover themselves, then home, until it reaches the community. The Philippines can recover if the Filipino’s starts from themselves and stop ranting and blaming why the Philippines doesn’t have progress. In the end, we can make it through this pandemic caused. We just need to believe and have faith on each other. Let us work together toward a more resilient Philippines.

Quality Education Effective or Not?

      Quality education during COVID-19 pandemic is not effective. It doesn’t make us students productive and enhance our knowledge. Especially this modular class modules doesn’t have complete descriptions and instructions. Our modules doesn’t provide a complete and full descriptions or discussions. There are a lot of task and activities to answer that is questionable and confusing. We need to search some questions on the internet to answer the task. We, students feels like it’s not learning anymore, it is about passing. Academic freeze is not the solution regarding to this topic. The modules and learning activity sheets just needs more discussion part than task or activities. We can solve this and have the desired quality education if we students and teachers cooperate.

A Letter for DU30

-

  Dear Mr. President, The President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte. Many Filipino hates him, especially now during this pandemic. The #OUSTDU30 was still trending on the internet. Being the president on a country that don’t follow the rules and all they do is rant and rally was really hard. Your own people are downing you. To our president, please stay strong and hold on to the people who believe on you. No president is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, since we are humans. On this type of situation, the COVID-19 pandemic, please do better for our country. I believed we can be saved and have a better country. Work hard and do what you think is right with the voices of the Filipino’s. Do it for us and for the betterment of our country, Philippines. I’m not angry but I’m disappointed. There is still a chance that we can change this. We stand as one, we fight as one.
