Humanity In The Midst Of Pandemic

As I was watching Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho, there was one segment entitled "Bayanihan sa Gitna ng Pandemya," which caught my attention. It is about the "bayanihan" of our fellow Filipinos in the face of a pandemic. Many Filipinos lost their employment as a result of the pandemic, causing a lackof income to feed their families. What warmed my heart was our kababayan's eagerness to assist us in overcoming the challenges we are currently facing, one of which is the community pantry, which has blown up and been replicated in various areas.

This community pantry allows people to share what they can offer and have what they can't. I admire the individual or organization who came up with this concept because it benefited all of us, especially those in desperate need. That is something I can relate to because my mother taught us to share whatever blessings we have got with others, which we have put into practice in our lives. We used to see homeless people on the street before the pandemic, when we could go outside and go to different places. We would take them out for lunch whenever we had the opportunity and give them a small amount of money. We can see the gratefulness in their eyes as we share goodness with them, which gives us a sense of satisfaction that we have done something positive for others. 

 You don't need to be wealthy to show an act of kindness to everyone. It matters, no matter how little you could give, because it could be something that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

This, by far, is the most amazing rendition of "Ang Pipit" I've ever heard. Well executed! This was a way for me to figure out what this song really conveys.

My name is Alexandra Elouisse A. Nodalo. Most of my friends call me Alissa. I was born on 13th of December 2003 in my province, Naga City, Bicol. My mother's name is Cynthia Nodalo Tapas and my father's name is Marlon Tapas. I have 3 siblings and I am the second oldest. I am seventeen years old and I am a Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) student at Gov. Juanito Remulla Senior High School. I'm not an outgoing person. In my circle of friends, I am the most nerdy one. Instead of hanging out with them during school breaks, I prefer to sleep and save my energy. My friends would often complain about it. I can't blame them. They would usually invite me to go out and attend parties and I will always give made-up excuses to avoid coming, saying I have tons of work to do when the only thing I do at home is spend the whole day reading romantic novels as it brings me to another world, fantasizing that what I'm reading was my own love story, when in fact, it's not. My love story is not any kind of story. My mood depends on who I'm talking to. I am not very friendly and I'm not trying to be. I prefer having a few friends whom I know I can trust. I have social anxiety, which puts a barrier between me and people. There are times where I talk a lot and times where I don't. My sister is the only person who can understand my sudden mood changes and probably the only person whom I trust fully. Unlike others, I have no specific dreams. I don't even know why I chose the strand I'm struggling with right now or the course I want to take in college. One thing I know is that I want to become someone my parents could be proud of. I am facing a lot of struggles right now and there are times where I want to to quit and leave it all behind. In spite of this, I am trying the best that I can to keep going because I know that through hard work and determination, I will be able to achieve something.  What is it? Only the future can tell.
