EX:
“Hoy Pinoy
Noypi by ako! Buo
BAMBOO aking loob,
May agimat
ang dugo ko”
We Filipinos are known to be resilient.
Even in times of strong calamity and in
this time of pandemic we never fail to
show the world that we remain to have
positive outlook in life. Not even COVID-19 can take the
Bayanihan spirit andunwavering faith of Filipinos.
“They would
not listen;
Vincent
they’re not
by
listening still.
DON
Perhaps they
MCLEAN never will”
We are living in a permissive society
where everyone can post and share how they are feeling but it
leads us also to a point where insensitivity to others prevails
instead of kind words. People bash and trolls threat one
another. Endless harsh comments are thrown in different social
media platforms. We failed to listen to one another. We failed
to empathize, and we just want to be heard without realizing
that we too need to listen.

Philippines’ Pandemic Response: A Tragedy of Errors
By Michael Beltran
May 12, 2020
The Duterte administration’s COVID-19 response marries incompetence with militarism.
The Philippine government has been boasting that as early as March 16, they had the
gumption to implement a lockdown in major cities and provinces in response to the
unfolding COVID-19 pandemic. However, Manila’s overall response to the pandemic has
been fraught with incompetence and rife with terror. …
The whole world is looking forward to a return to some semblance of normalcy. But what
makes the Philippine government one of the worst examples of handling the pandemic is its
incompetence married with militarism threaded throughout its responses. The backlash
facing Filipinos now and after the quarantine is quite a distressing picture. It is a bleak one
marred by a totalitarian streak and the people’s
increased realization that the state is more intent on filling jails and the pockets of Chinese
businesses than starving stomachs.
Michael Beltran is a freelance journalist from the Philippines.
