It’s a running joke among Pinoys that a lot of us have turned into chefs during the ECQ or Enhanced Community Quarantine for doing a lot of cooking at home.

Since most of us have limited options in the kitchen during food preparation, our Pinoy ingenuity usually comes into action. GMA News TV’s Pinas Sarap recently launched their online series dubbed ‘ECQusina: Pinoy Kusina Stories Ngayong Quarantine’. ECQusina showcases fun dishes made out of special food items that are popular while we stay at home.

Last Thursday, Pinas Sarap host Kara David shared her own ECQusina story on the program’s Facebook page.

Aside from Kara, catch more personalities who will also get to share their ECQusina stories on Pinas Sarap’s Facebook page.

As a celebrity, Kapuso actress Janine Gutierrez admits that she’s unsure of how she should react when it was first declared that certain areas in the country will be placed under enhanced community quarantine.

Because of this, she went on a social media hiatus for one month to remain sensitive on other people’s situation.

“I was so careful with what to post, what to say kasi I didn’t wanna be insensitive. Eventually, I started posting again on Instagram, realizing nga na parang hindi pa ito matatapos. We have to adjust to this new normal,” Janine shared.

She believes that every artist or celebrity has the responsibility to be sensitive especially during these times where a lot of people are suffering due to various reasons.

“I think one of the roles is, first of all, to just really be sensitive and to use whatever platform you have to spread information. In a way, lahat tayo pare-pareho ng pinagdadaanan. It’s just nice to be able to talk to people now. I know a lot of people may feel isolated, being away from their families so na-e-enjoy ko din ‘yung konting chika sa Instagram or sa Twitter. I just try to be there,” said Janine.
