In today’s headline news, President Rodrigo Duterte placed the entire nation under total lockdown or enhanced community quarantine starting March 17, 2020

in response to the rapidly-spreading disease from China called Novel Corona Virus.

I’ve read somewhere, that this one is really good… ginger,

then we’ll bring it to a boil in hot water. You have to drink this…

Hey, get up there! Get up now! Drink this!

But before you drink this, you have to chew this one up!

Chew this?

…that’s garlic! Yes… chew it like candy!

This taste bad!

Go ahead! I learned this from Facebook… go drink it!

There… that’s ginger brew!

it’s so hot!

It’s really like that! It will kill the virus in your throat!

I’m the one who’s gonna get killed! What’s this you’re feeding me?

C’mon, go…chew it! Then drink this…

That’s perfect tandem! It will kill the virus! Go drink it…

It really tastes awful!

It’s really like that, go drink it!

Have pity please!

Finish it so you’d feel better…

There! Do you see that!

Don’t get near! Do not try go inside.

Someone got covid here… So do not go near here…

Unless, you want to die!

You, do you want to get infected? …do you want to get sick?

Never come near this place!

If you need to this area, take the other road instead…

than, get your selves infected? Do you want to get infected?

Wow! Despite the pandemic there’s still a lot of food here!

Groceries are just delivered here and mom pays with her credit card.

Let’s eat…

Emil wait… let’s start with the soup.

Use this…

Hmm… tastes good!

You know what I am so used with tamarind soup as our viand and rarely have meat for dinner.

Hey, what about now… lockdown have started in this area.

This building is now under quarantine because a resident got infected.

How is that now?

I mean, will they not look for you? Won’t your parents scold you?

Actually, I already told my mama…

how about you? Is it okay with you, if I stay here?

What else can I do, this place is already locked down.

This is embarrassing... please let me know if there’s something I have to pay or share…

Don’t think about it, let’s just make good with our thesis.

I’m sure, you’re lucky with me.

Huh?

I mean, you’re number one in our class that is why I am sure we’ll score high with our thesis, right?

You know, if I hadn’t been locked down here, my dinner would not have been this good,

the house would not be this nice so,

I am lucky with you.

That’s it… so we are lucky with each other

We are meant for each other.

What?

I mean, we are meant for each other as partners…

with the thesis!

With the thesis, yeah right! We are best partners!

Oh, yeah! Go ahead and eat!

(Ylona Calling)

Love, what happened to you?

I went to your place earlier, they said you can’t go home anymore because of the lockdown.

It will be a long time before we see each other again…

Easy, my love… we’d still talk, we’d still see each other thru Messenger, it’s not yet the end of the world!

Hmm… but are you ok?

I’m alright here… food here is good.

So my love, talk to you later.

Just make sure that you’d pick up your phone when I call you.

Yeah, will talk to you later, alright? Benjo is here with me,

we’re having dinner so, why don’t you go and have dinner too. Love you… bye!

Alright.

Uhm… that was my girlfriend, Ylona.

Wait, let me find something for you… da daaan!

You have so much clothes!

Here, hold these! Choose whatever… Ahh, that’s yours!

These are mine?!

For as long as you’re here (chuckles)

But this one… this is your! Just choose, wait.

This is branded!

You know that I don’t just wear stuff

Here!

Choose whatever you want, I just don’t like the ones you wear.

What about this? You like this one!

What’s that?

Stuff your nose with cotton balls when you wear this one

Now, here… kidding aside,

this is for you!

Oh, I’d look like a star with this one!

Yes! I bought that from the States so, that’s yours!

My shoes are in the other room, let’s go! Let’s go!

Wait, let me find a really nice pair for you…

Here! Supreme by Louis Vuitton! Match it with the leather jacket I gave you… wear it.

For real, Benjo?

Yes, and this is yours! Take it!

Oh my! This is really nice! You know what, I’ll wear this in school.

This will look great with the jacket! I’m now like a star!

This is really nice!

Hey! Hey! John is calling….

John who? John Aniceto?

Yeah, wait…

Hey John, how are you? How about your thesis?

Doing good! I am paired with Aldous…

You’re paired with Aldus?

Yup! Assigned by Sir Eds…

Hi, Aldous!

The methodology of our thesis is to survey 30 to 40 years old of Filipino citizens…

in NCR, if they agree or not in the genuineness and authenticity of Erap’s impeachment procedure.

Wow! Erap impeachment! That is quite recent, there’s a lot of video clips available in YouTube, ours is quite difficult.

So bro, I heard you’re paired with Emil! Fuck! He’s a trash!

Have you seen him in school wearing slippers and the shirt he wears are giveaways from the local drugstore!

You’re silly!

Hey! No matter what you say, he’s my crush!

And his brown skin makes him really so manly!

Fuck you, Aldus! He stinks like a muddy puddle!

He doesn’t use any deodorant! He really stinks!

Hi John! Hi Aldus! You guys…

You’re there? Bro?

Yes, I’m here… I really have no money to buy shoes but now…

I have this! Supreme shoes with matching…

leather jacket! How’s that?

Where did you get those?

Where else but from Benjo!

Oh my! You’re like a young sugar daddy!

No, bro… I just feel for him and I have a lot of clothes I don’t use anymore. He doesn’t have much clothes, too.

Anyways, I can smell romance…

Romance your face!

Bro, here you are going crazy with the Adonis-like Emil?

Fuck you, John!

Let’s just see… let’s wait for the final’s result.

Of course, we’ll be far behind because you have the number one student in the class!

And you, you have the money to spend for your assistant. You slave driver!

Whatever! We’re busy now… Bye!

ylona ... ylona ...

it’s cold!

Emil, you sleep here, ok…

No, I’m fine here, I can sleep here on the floor…

Emil, you can sleep here with me, this is a huge bed and I am alone…

Ok…

Hey, Sir Ed is calling…

Answer it…

Benjo…

Hi Sir…

How are you?

How’s your thesis?

It’s ok… We both decided to stay together in one place so, we can really work together and come up with a good thesis…

That’s good! I’m glad to know that you and Emil are together…

I was about to call him then…

Listen guys, I preferred that you two work together because I can see That you guys can deliver!

Your topic is my favorite because I abhor history revisionism.

What a shame, you know!

And it’s just you both, I believe, who can educate the young leaders.

I am planning to post your thesis on my blog,

Emil being the top of the class, and you Benjo, with the much needed resources,

I am certain you both will come up with a good thesis.

Oh yes, sir… yes, sir, bye…

I’m not finished!

I’ll be calling from time to time to check on your progress.

Ok, I’m finished. Bye!

It’s as if, he did not benefitted from me…

He took all my stocks, my branded bags!

But what can I do?

I am running out of make-up, uhh, I miss the old days when,

Ohh! I mean, female organ. That is how my orientation is.

As a beauty queen, I shall inspire people as a beacon of hope, especially now in the time of the pandemic.

That is why after Miss Spain, I should have joined Miss Philippines, more so now, that they accept transgender women.

This has cured someone in Italy!

Let’s check your body temperature, we need to know. Do you have fever?

What have you been doing?

Let me tell you, I read an article in Twitter, that this fabricated virus originated from China,

to cause trouble in this world. It’s like a weapon of war.

That is not true! What I’ve read is more reliable, it is found in Revelations! That there will be so much trouble before the world ends!

Ouch! Ahh! Stop it!

Give me that! Stinky... This is bad!

Of course! I have not taken a bath for a week!

Oh my! 39! It’s too high!

Yuck, it really stinks! Huh, it went up to forty!

I knew it! Bill Gates is right, that virus is really fabricated!

Oh my goodness! I need to go to the toilet again!

Bill Gates?

Hey, wait! Kelly! Kelly!

Protect me! Protect me, Holy Child! Protect me!

I don’t want to get covid!

What is that?

I wish I didn’t have the eye

So you wouldn’t see me cry

Question will be why.

Why love, why?
