Hybrid Learning amid the Pandemic

-

      

    

    Education provides us knowledge of our society and environment and homes our skills to change them for the better. Education also helps us to develop our own perspective of looking at our lives, prepares us to have our own points of view and form our own opinions on different facets of life. Education today is not the process of gaining information. Only education can train us to interpret different issues and events in our lives.

      

    Since the beginning of 2020, we have been facing a crisis of enormous proportions. The Covid-19 Pandemic has been wreaking havoc across, upsetting our lives and livelihoods. Therefore, all the enrolled students in schools, colleges and universities have been unable to go to their institutions for almost two years due to the restrictions imposed to check the spread of the novel corona virus since the middle of march 2020. We must admit that face-to-face interactions between teachers and students along with vibrant and healthy debates among peers are integral to quality teaching. We still do not have any data on how many students have access to broadband internet, 46 smartphones, tablets, laptops or desktop computers and other technologies absolutely necessary for online classes. Government officials encouraged our community to share homeschooling and online learning resources that support student learning and well being and to learn from our own lives though our practical experiences and hands-on, trainings, in order to acquire knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to make informed decisions. 

        

    The governments and health officials are currently taking steps to prevent the introduction and spread of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) into communities across the world. The pandemic situation is affecting the lives of many students, families and communities. They are doing their best slowing down the outbreak, global education systems are collaborating to collectively respond and provide quality education for all during these difficult times.

      For many of us Filipinos, resiliency, is a familiar word that we have encountered multiple time throughout our lives. It’s not a secret that the Filipino people have always prided themselves on their resilience.           The Philippines ranks among the top three countries in the world for population exposure and vulnerability to hazards. In our situation right now, we are facing the stress of Corona Virus Pandemic. We can lighten the load on the negative side of the resilience scale by reducing sources of stress for families and program staff like helping families, meet basic needs like food, shelter, diapers, health care, child care, guiding adults who are out of work through applying for financial assistance, creating and providing children’s activity kits and encouraging parents, program staffs, and co-workers to practice self-care.

Angel Charmae B. Del Pinado, Pagpandayan Vigan City, Ilocos Sur October 10, 2021 President Rodrigo Roa Duterte Malaca ñang Palace   Dear Mr.President,                        Good day! How are you sir? I hope you are healthy and well.                         I didn't vote yet last 2016 but my family and I rooted you. We heard a lot of things about you from certain persons in the Philippines. We thought that you would be different from the past leaders we had who were traditional politicians. Some people in our country were against you but we wanted to give you a chance. Your plans for the country were promising. We  were expecting that the Philippines would be a better place to live in with you as a leader.                            It must be very difficult, especially at your age, to lead a country of more than Seven Thousand Islands and more than a hundred million people. And still, you did your best to make our country will be the best. We believed in you. We still do, and we w
