Independence day for me
Today marks the independence day for me.
I will be starting to tell my story about history of the Philippines, It was June, 12, 1898 when the Philippines was declared free from colony of Spain, and this because of my years of sacrifices of our national heroes like Jose Rizal, Andress bonifacio who start the Cry of Pugad Lawin that according to history signals the Philippines revolution agains the spaniards, likewise Emilio Aguinaldo who been our president exiles himself to Hong Kong, a lot of things happened a series of life sacrifices, years of planning and revolution against the spaniard.
Those things happened are written on books, up until now and I really as a Pilipino think that it is my responsibility as citizen of this country to give my salute and respect to what they have done to this country, I am not expert in history but for all I know after our indepence with the spain is the start of the colonization of the america, where I think america has been our allied to stop the colony of spain just to learn that they are the one who is going to follow the colonization.
What will be the things I am experiencing now, and why did I say those things now. This pandemic things has done so much in our country, there maybe some good things as well as bad. I will tell you my story now how I was into sharing independence for me.
It was May, 17, 2020 the day I travel to Olongapo City, Zambales because I was working there as Medical Representative. This day was the day before the government announces that Olongapo City, will be under GCQ(General Community Quarantince) a much loosen quarantine protocol, this is one of laws that government implemented in the whole country since March, 16, 2020 when President Duterte order ECQ in national, stand for Enhance Community Quarantine, where lock down to every provinces and cities, checkpoints are being held every town , this is to lessen the travelling of the people since Covid-19 pandemic is starting to spread while this is to lessen the casualties of infected patients, so back to the story, I was already announced that the government will be implementing GCQ in Olongapo City, and as our company where I work instructed us start working, while other cities and provinces are still in ECQ, in my situation is different I was already starting to work.
In GCQ restaurants and malls are allowed operate but must implement social distancing minimum of 1 meter from 1 person to another to that they put arrows where people walk-on making them spaces to one another and eliminate contact, Banks are doing the same thing , while restaurants take-out,pick-up and delivery are only allowed.
In this rule of GCQ little did I know that weekends are still on lock down, it maybe because of the city ordinance, I was there from May,18,2020 up to June 11, 2020. I was alone when weekends come, Saturdays and sundays are total lock down, that means most of the time what I eat is what I cook, while I do cook my rice I mostly eat de lata.
So this is why I somehow relate to the independence because finally I was able to go home this weekend, I wrote letter of request to use my service car going home, since public transport in GCQ is suspended, mostly buses are still not allowed to operate I was not able to travel going home, I may have my own service car it is not allowed for as to use this in our personal and in order to make use of this car is by requesting a letter from the management to use it, and I did and luckily the company approved it.
I relate to the independence of our country by finally I was able to go home this day and no more spending weekends on my own alone, I was able to see my mother, brother, my sister and my dogs that I missed so much, It was only 3 weeks alone in Olongapo City, working my ass out in hospitals and clinic, risking my life with the pandemic, I was a little thankful that I am healthy right now, no feeling of illness, I was sorry for the people who are suffering from illness not only by covid but also of everything that make their body ill, I am thankful to the Lord that I am healthy right now.
So that it I am sharing to you today, what I experience in this past weeks alone, I was able to be free somehow, this is the feeling of freedom, but then I am fully aware that our fight with our careers, in this pandemic are not yet over I must say too that our fight and problems lies ahead of us and that we should be wary of, pray you hearts our, ask for the help of the Lord.
