Apart but Never Alone

This time, we will read an article from Rappler.com (2020) which highlights the immense value of
meaningful connections to get us through these challenging moments. After reading, you will share your

We are not alone. This pandemic teaches us the importance of shared

moments

Meaningful connections with our loved ones help us get through this crisis
MANILA, Philippines - There’s a universal truth that has sprung from textbooks to reality in recent weeks: humans need
meaningful connections.

When rumors of Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) spread, many of us flocked to the supermarkets and drugstores to
stock up on food and medicines for our loved ones. Next thing we knew, the rumors became reality.

We became isolated in our homes, far away from the people we're used to be around with at work, school, or hangout places.
Loneliness hit us. And no matter how introverted or socially flexible we considered ourselves to be, social isolation can be
overwhelming. This is especially true for most of us in the city who only have ourselves to wake up to the next day.

But we are not alone. As cliché as it may seem, this phrase speaks the truth. We are only physically isolated, not separated.

We are lucky that it’s the year 2020 and we have the Internet as our friend. Through technology, we can connect with other
people: families, friends, and even strangers.

In fact, Filipinos are some of the most active internet users worldwide. This probably isn’t news to anyone who’s active in Stan
Twitter, Subtle Asian Facebook groups, or those who regularly communicate with OFW family members.

Everywhere you look in the virtual space, there’s a Filipino there. This only goes to show how important communication and
expression is to our culture.

For those who are only discovering this for the first time, open your laptop or your phone. Click on the family members not living
with you today. Know that a few decades ago, seeing their faces on that small screen and talking to them in real-time would have
been impossible.

Your friends may not be next to you holding your hand while you break down, at least they are just a click away. In the same
way, we can easily comfort our family and friends in these uncertain times - whether through a call, text, chat, or a voice
message in your favorite app.

Moreover, the Internet has enabled us to come together to reach out to those who need our help and support through the
numerous donation drives across online groups. These efforts remind us that every little contribution can make a huge difference
in the lives of others.

After reading the article, did you find how important is communication during this COVID-19 pandemic? Were you able to see the
influence of media and information on communication? Now, you will share your own story on how you connect with your friends,
love ones or even strangers during this global crisis.

IRECTIONS: On a separate sheet of paper, write your experiences in connecting with people during this pandemic
and the things you learned. Highlight the value of proper communication and right access to information.
