SunStar + January 03, 2021 DESPITE the troubles brought about by the coronavirus in our lives, people seemed to have normally welcomed the new year 2021. The celebrations in every home as shown on social media do not reflect the grim scenario of what we experienced in the year 2020. This makes us appreciate our identity as Filipinos, where we are capable of standing up despite the trials and uncertainties of life. At the start of 2021, somehow we felt a sigh of relief as the numbers in the calendar were changed, and will hopefully change the things that made our lives difficult. Yet, there is no other factor to blame for the bad things we’ve had than the coronavirus.
