I honestly don’t know how should I feel with this news because it clearly shows that in the Philippines COVID is still rampant and the worst part here is that the filipino citizen no longer are aware or should I say “no longer care” of the menace that COVID brings to our country. Is there still a hope for our country to recover from COVID? Because if we are going to keep disobeying the health protocols and if we keep on practicing irresponsibility, the chance of our country recovering from COVID is zero. We cannot continue living this way. I don’t get it why some people are very stubborn. When will they realize that their stubbornness and irresponsibility are the reason why COVID had its way to put threat in our country. Please, let’s be united to combat COVID. Please be vaccinated.Please follow health protocols. Please wake up.
