Our youth is yours
Turning twelve is a toast to tweens. To the parents, it’s a wistful goodbye to childhood. Before the March 16, 2020 enhanced community quarantine, two mommy friends and I were happily hatching a surprise party for our tweens. Our kids were childhood friends who shared the same birth month. Secret Viber invites were sent to the parents of their classmates and to close family. Then the news of the Covid-19 pandemic took over the headlines. Metro Manila was going to be on lockdown. The viber chat was shutdown with the cancellation of the party. The chicken nuggets and fries celebration was shelved. Michelle, Mika and Maddie would mark their memorable 12th year on this earth witnessing a global pandemic that would rock the world. -

House to House Graduation - Continuing the Educational Journey of the Children Amidst the Pandemic
The photos want to convey the positivity and strong spirit of the youth and the teachers to continue educational schemes amidst the pandemic. It is the first time to launch HOUSE TO HOUSE GRADUATION. The teachers with my supervision as the School Principal, we visited their homes to give the credits and surprises for our Grade 6 graduating pupils. Because we appreciate their efforts for the whole school year as well as the double sacrifices of their parents, we realized our program "House to House Graduation Ceremony". We sent letter to the Barangay Captain and we talked to the Supervisor about this scheme. We strictly followed guidelines and protocols from IATF, DILG, LGU and DEPED so that everyone is safe. We really treasured these moments forever. -

My story is simple. It is about lessons learned while doing Lockdown 101, a crash course in life, in death, and everything in between. -

Love in the Time of COVID- 19
It's my poem about my family's experience under, and fear of, this pandemic -- specifically during my fifteenth wedding anniversary when we watched on TV news the Philippine president's official announcement of the imposition of the lockdown in Metro Manila.
