Cebu City, Philippines–It’s been more than a year since the country felt the life-changing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each of us have different stories to tell on what we did to survive.
Others turned to either starting their plant garden or caring for their existing plans to keep their minds off the problem and while they remain under home quarantine.
There were also those who shifted their energy to creating a more healthy lifestyle.
It is indeed true that having to stay at home for a long time has its pros and cons and it’s up to us to determine how we want our time spent.
But what about the frontliners, who are called to serve the country during the pandemic?
Brendo Casas of Mister Donewell General Services, for example, had his hands full during the pandemic.
