DON’T bring home the crown

In this state of lockdown, panic buying, supplement and vitamins overloading, don’t we all wish to be Senator Enrile and possess his immune system which may pre-dates that of Rizal and even Magellan? 

Sabi nga nila, these trying time brings out the best in us. The various platforms of social media will show you that, unknowingly, you have friends who are medical and political experts and strategist. They seem to just have a say for every government moves, pun intended.

It is said that in every challenge and adventure, you must bring home the crown, this one is not something you would want in your doorsteps. While we see people rising through it and while it is said to be less deadly than other diseases, sadly, people tends to go through it alone, far from the people they love. Thanks to our heroes in the medical fields who provided them the comfort of knowing that they are not totally isolated.

While the world’s leaders and experts are grasping for moves to contain if not to cure this virus, we, the ordinary citizen has only one thing to do, that is to trust and follow the instruction of our leaders.

In where I am today, the government has implemented a lock down. Closing air travels, public transports and public areas. While some insists on going out especially to those fighting to keep their post in their respective work places, a lot is content with staying at home especially if you are advised to do so. I believe that our generation and our leaders are more capable now with appropriate knowledge-sharing-channels that those of the past plagues.

Amidst this though, iba pa din ang malapit sa pamilya (you will still want to be with our respective families). No vitamins can boost our confidence (immune system) better than the reassuring touch or words of a loved one. Just like how skyflakes and royal ni nanay did the magic to our generation’s colds and flu.
