Everything changed, the old world and habits weren't the same anymore. As the lockdown lengthened, the virus spread even more, but that was not the only problem Filipinos faced. Numerous business establishments closed which meant many citizens lost their work that lead to a hunger and financial hardship.

Many young people specially the Generation Z or Gen Z have been going on their ways in helping to raise awareness and educate others online and offline. They are determined to change the world and they had been spreading awareness not only about the pandemic but also the other problems that are happening around the world which the pandemic may have caused. By educating people with the myths and facts about this COVID-19, it can help minimize terror and panic and make people do their responsibilities so that it can be extinguished faster.
Another thing we can do is to be a volunteer. Be a volunteer to those who are vulnerable. And if you privileged enough, you can donate. Find a reliable charity and campaigns to donate specially those don't have much and lost a lot because of this pandemic.
The youth is the hope. But remember when you do all of this, stay healthy and stay safe. Don't be a hypocrite and follow the safety rules and guidelines too. In this times, our health is truly our wealth.
