The debate would only show that the government is on the defensive and does not assure people that “the President can steer us to the right path moving forward,” he said in a Facebook Messenger chat.

Aha! That’s the word for it languishing. This feeling of emptiness and a listless lack of drive and purpose. No fulfillment or pride of achievement. Day turns into night and night turns into day, your Circadian rhythm has lost step to intermittent insomnia.

Citing challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic and a deadlier surge to its academic community, the PUP Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs has issued a memorandum that instructed faculty members to ease academic workload for the second semester.
