Months after the cursed coronavirus sprawled out of our hands, the outlook of the Filipino people was shrieking bleak. A virus a thousand times smaller than an ant has plunged the burgeoning economy into a technical recession, shed light on our deeply flawed systems, and robbed her of her brightest and best.
Early inaction coupled with a lack of quick, decisive leadership spun a simple stroll to the store for candy or an innconent morning jog to a lonesome country road into a nightmare. Our age's truth was in the graphs, it flaunted an upsurge of positive cases from mid-March until the end of August. People were shackled by fear from the unholy oppression loitering outside family circles.
Most of us was like a modern day rapunzel story. Mind-numbing isolation, boredom, loss of social splendor, and lack of support prompted us to lose hope in dark times we are treading, as the light at the end is still not in sight. We learners lost contact with our relatives and friends and have met a myriad of grievous daily life realities, from parents who may be unsure where the next meal or rent payment will come or how our parents, are to make ends meet. 
As 2020 draws to a close, learners of all shapes and sizes must regain lost ground. We must continue to foster our social and emotional skills and learn to adapt to the new normal to cope with novel levels of trauma. One example is to find new means of leisure to keep ourselves enthralled and make isolation proactive.
We learners through the internet must share ideas and work to form a common vision for a shared future. Today that we all have the means and knowlege to evict change, we have to act. The cure is well underway and there is reason to be optimistic. The more we do, the more the earth will help rebuild and remake itself. What is needed is a concerted effort not only from us but to each and everyone from ourselves upwards.
This Soul-renching existential plague has rob the Philippines of her brightest and best. Let the historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st cneturty, let them write it was our generation who laid down the heavy burdens of covid atlast.
