There are many faces in the coronavirus pandemic. For some, it’s a family member ill with the virus, a doctor caring for the sick, or the nameless policeman monitoring people's temperatures at checkpoints.
"That scares me because I am putting myself at risk doing this daunting job that I used to love," she said. She must first bathe outside their house, disinfect her uniform and belongings, then leave them out to dry. When she gets inside, Gumilab waits for another 30 minutes before she finally showers her only child with hugs and kisses.
But she admitted she finds it challenging to be a lactating mother and a checkpoint frontliner during this COVID-19 crisis. If she isn’t careful, she could bring the disease back home. As of July 21, the Philippine National PoliceI really have to divide my time as a frontliner and a mother. That’s the hardest experience for me during the pandemic, because I can’t just neglect my baby when I’m working,” she said.
She is sure to avail of every opportunity to prepare for the Department of Education’s “blended learning” approach that involves a mix of distance and online learning. From attending online seminars, paying for training workshops, and traveling to her school to keep up with work – Rosales did it all.
“If DepEd is serious with deciding they want to push through with classes this August, they should provide what students and teachers need. If they can’t do that, we’re just kidding ourselves,” she said. “Social workers are frontliners too. They also put themselves in the way of danger for the public,” she said, after mentioning that some of her colleagues have been criticized by the same people they serve.Still, her concern is the 19 children she is responsible for at Meritxell – how they’ll survive now that they’ve stopped receiving donations, and how they will learn, as they aren’t sure how DepEd’s blended learning approach will work for students at different grade levels.
Two of her children – Jeremy in Grade 9 and Jericho in Grade 6 – are part of the incoming batch of students who will be forced to attend classes online while the country still grapples with the coronavirus pandemic.
We have a govt which puts their own politics over and above the welfare and safety of its own people
Instead of health, it is campaigning for the next ekection that is the focus of attention.....
