The realities in the Philippines now are far from what used to be last year. It is due to the COVID-19 pandemic which brought a lot of changes to the country.
Community quarantine measures are still up in PH now. The Department of Health (DOH) has recorded a total of 74,390 cases of coronavirus. As of this writing, 1,871 of the said patients died while 24,383 have already recovered.
Now, there are reduced capacities in public transportation to practice social distancing in the pursuit to curb the spread of the disease. The wearing of face mask is a protocol now.
