Before Your Eyes

 

    Philippines' resilience. In the face of complications, Filipinos can withstand these. Being resilient is the ability to rise back up from the rummage of the aftermath of a problem. Although the world recognizes the Philippines' "resiliency", this is a mere understatement.

    The Philippines is a 3rd world country with a high rate of population growth, low income, and high unemployment rate. The country hasn't really been progressing much over the years but its community always finds a way to adjust to the problem. After each and every single problem has been overcome, the people are always smiling.

    In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, the frontliners have given their very best to survive. Sacrificing anxiety for the entire community. Any moment could be their last while the government is supporting them as their own backbone. 

    People have had a hard time adjusting. With the education of children needed to be postponed before the usage of modules —which was inefficient — and the economy's methods have gone online. A portion of the population needed to take a 2-year break off of their jobs. They had to start another way to make profit which was no easy task.

    The Philippines have tried to get up from these problems, and they have, and will always stand up with a bright face. Yes, the Philippines is indeed a resilient country, and this trait was born off of its own nature. Filipinos have been known to the rest of the world for their kindness. Without their resilience, no one could probably set foot off their homes to see the beautiful nature and culture of the country once more. And these happened before the very eyes of the world.
