BRIEF INTRODUCTION
For the longest time, Filipinos have overcome natural
disasters like typhoon, earthquakes, fires, floods, volcanic
eruptions and others and we always have each other to
make it through. The innate nature of being a Filipino is to
be both emphatic and sympathetic to any hardships
experienced by our fellowmen. And in this time of
pandemic, no is spared; all are affected. However,
everyone wants to help one another, because as a member
of our community, we are bound to support those who are
in need in our society even if we, ourselves, are also in need
of help.

CASE 1: Ana is a senior high school student who, like
everybody, is affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. She
graduated with honors in a virtual graduation of her school.
His father, an OFW, whom she has not seen for five years
was expected to attend the graduation ceremony but failed
to come home due to the pandemic. Her mother, a typical
housewife that does buy and sell for additional income was
considered Persons Under Investigation (PUI) due to the
virus and had to be quarantined. Unfortunately, she
needed to be hospitalized eventually. Now, all alone in the
house being the only child, and with all these unfortunate
circumstances happening to her, she felt that her world
was falling apart. Moreover, she started blaming herself and
developed the idea that she was cursed. Consequently, she
started to disconnect herself from the outside world, even
with her friends. She was afraid that others might be
included in her “curse” of misery and misfortune if she
talked to them.
CASE 2:
Due to the pandemic, the government imposed nationwide
quarantine which resulted to increase of domestic
violence .One of the victims of domestic violence is Maria, a
15-year-old girl, who also acts as the mother to her eight
siblings after her mother passed away. Her father earns a
living as a cook in the school canteen. But due to the
pandemic crisis, her father lost his job and there was no
source of income for the family. What makes Maria suffers
the most is when they are all beaten up by their father
especially when he is under the influence of alcohol. Her
father hits her and her siblings when she cannot give a
single penny to him, and when there is no food to eat.
