After binge-watching all those series that you wanted to see in the past month and all the books that you may have read, reread – again and again – right now, let us finally take into account the welfare of our fellow Filipinos in light of the pandemic. And, yes! We have so much to do even from our homes. I feel your burning desire and passion to lend a hand. Those, who with their valiant efforts, contribute and play their part for the betterment of our country. We are all inspired and motivated by these heroes. But, even from the safety of our homes, we have seen your commendable efforts to help and serve the people, who are in dire need of basic commodities due to diminishing access to resources brought by the lockdown. There are still a number who remain unmentioned. To the initiatives of the civil society and non-government organizations who take part in giving out basic needs to the less fortunate.
To our barangay officials, the police, and government employees who ensure the safety and well-being of our countrymen in the communities so that every family has food on the table and gets through each day. Our janitors and street sweepers who keep our communities clean for us to be free from the risks that may endanger our health. We also acknowledge our low-skilled workers who play a significant role in combatting the pandemic. We could help our nation stand up and fight, for our health workers at the frontlines in this battle. It is for our own good and for the greater good that we stay in our homes.
Still, I know that we could get through this together. Being cut off to see our friends and family and the outside world may have been a struggle. We are fighting our own battles right now. Going through this crisis is indeed not easy, and has never been easy with anyone else’s, too. Now, I ask you, my fellow young people, how do you feel? Is everything alright for you? At such a young and crucial point in our lives, we are experiencing a global crisis not just on health, but also on many aspects of our society that the extent of its damaging repercussions might be too complex and complicated for us to digest. Through the lens of the young, I wonder how it feels to see the world somehow fall apart through our very own eyes, seeing most of humanity struggling to fight back with this unseen threat. I attempted to compress into a single word this pandemic that made its way into our young lives and wreaked havoc. Find the Plan International website you are looking for in this list
