Halimbawa ng Sanaysay tungkol sa Pandemya

Ang Sanaysay ay tinatawag na “essay” sa wikang english. Ito ay isang uri ng sulatin na nagpapahayag ng pananaw o opinyon ng nagsulat nito. Narito ang isang halimbawa ng Sanaysay tungkol sa Pandemya.

Ang Pandemya

Ang pandemya ay isang masalimuot na nangyari sa buong mundo dahil sa Covid-19 Virus. Buong mundo ay natigil ang nakasanayang pang araw-araw na buhay. Sa ibat-ibang panig ng mundo nagkaroon ng tinatawag na lockdown para mabawasan ang pagkalat ng virus na nagdulot ng pandemya at kahirapan sa buong mundo.

Ngayon nga ay unti-unti ng bumabalik sa normal ang takbo ng buhay ng mga tao dahil yan sa vaccine na ginawa at dahil din sa vaccination program ng ibat-ibang bansa. Nagsimula man sa masalimuot na bahagi ng nakaraang dalawang taon ang landas na tinatahak ng bawat isa ay may maganda pa ring naidulot ang pagkakaroon ng pandemya.

Una na dyan ang pagtanto na ang buhay ay pwedeng mawala kahit anong oras ng hindi inaasahan. Pangalawa, nagbigay ito ng pagkakataon sa mga tao para makapagmuni-muni kung ano talaga ang mga importante sa buhay. Pangatlo, nagdulot ito ng katatagan sa bawat isa para suungin ang buhay sa hinaharap ng masmatatag at mas matapang.

Ang pandemya ay nagturo sa atin para lumaban kahit anong antas man ng buhay meron tayo at kung ano man ang pinagdadaanan natin para ipagpatuloy ang hinaharap ng may pag-asa.

Filipinos face the mental toll of the Covid-19 pandemic — a photo essay

BY ORANGE OMENGAN

Depression, anxiety, and other mental health-related illnesses are on the rise among millennials as they face the pressure to be functional amidst pandemic fatigue. Omengan's photo essay shows three of the many stories of mental health battles, of struggling to stay afloat despite the inaccessibility of proper mental health services, which worsened due to the series of lockdowns in the Philippines.

"I was just starting with my new job, but the pandemic triggered much anxiety causing me to abandon my apartment in Pasig and move back to our family home in Mabalacat, Pampanga." 

This was Mano Dela Cruz's quick response to the initial round of lockdowns that swept the nation in March 2020. 

Anxiety crept up on Mano, who was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type II with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder traits. The 30-year-old writer is just one of many Filipinos experiencing the mental health fallout of the pandemic. 

Covid-19 infections in the Philippines have reached 1,149,925 cases as of May 17. The pandemic is unfolding simultaneously with the growing number of Filipinos suffering from mental health issues. At least 3.6 million Filipinos suffer from mental, neurological, and substance use disorders, according to Frances Prescila Cuevas, head of the National Mental Health Program under the Department of Health.

As the situation overwhelmed him, Mano had to let go of his full-time job. “At the start of the year, I thought I had my life all together, but this pandemic caused great mental stress on me, disrupting my routine and cutting my source of income,” he said. 

Mano has also found it difficult to stay on track with his medications. “I don’t have insurance, and I do not save much due to my medical expenses and psychiatric consultations. On a monthly average, my meds cost about P2,800. With my PWD (person with disability) card, I get to avail myself of the 20% discount, but it's still expensive. On top of this, I pay for psychiatric consultations costing P1,500 per session. During the pandemic, the rate increased to P2,500 per session lasting only 30 minutes due to health and safety protocols.”

The pandemic has resulted in substantial job losses as some businesses shut down, while the rest of the workforce adjusted to the new norm of working from home. 

Ryan Baldonado, 30, works as an assistant human resource manager in a business process outsourcing company. The pressure from work, coupled with stress and anxiety amid the community quarantine, took a toll on his mental health. 

Before the pandemic, Ryan said he usually slept for 30 hours straight, often felt under the weather, and at times subjected himself to self-harm. "Although the symptoms of depression have been manifesting in me through the years, due to financial concerns, I haven't been clinically diagnosed. I've been trying my best to be functional since I'm the eldest, and a lot is expected from me," he said.

As extended lockdowns put further strain on his mental health, Ryan mustered the courage to try his company's online employee counseling service. "The free online therapy with a psychologist lasted for six months, and it helped me address those issues interfering with my productivity at work," he said.

He was often told by family or friends: "Ano ka ba? Dapat mas alam mo na ‘yan. Psych graduate ka pa man din!" (As a psych graduate, you should know better!)

Ryan said such comments pressured him to act normally. But having a degree in psychology did not make one mentally bulletproof, and he was reminded of this every time he engaged in self-harming behavior and suicidal thoughts, he said.

"Having a degree in psychology doesn't save you from depression," he said. 

Depression and anxiety are on the rise among millennials as they face the pressure to perform and be functional amid pandemic fatigue. 

Karla Longjas, 27, is a freelance artist who was initially diagnosed with major depression in 2017. She could go a long time without eating, but not without smoking or drinking. At times, she would cut herself as a way to release suppressed emotions. Karla's mental health condition caused her to get hospitalized twice, and she was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder in 2019. 

"One of the essentials I had to secure during the onset of the lockdown was my medication, for fear of running out," Karla shared. 

With her family's support, Karla can afford mental health care. 

She has been spending an average of P10,000 a month on medication and professional fees for a psychologist and a psychiatrist. "The frequency of therapy depends on one's needs, and, at times, it involves two to three sessions a month," she added. 

Amid the restrictions of the pandemic, Karla said her mental health was getting out of hand. “I feel like things are getting even crazier, and I still resort to online therapy with my psychiatrist,” she said.

“I've been under medication for almost four years now with various psychologists and psychiatrists. I'm already tired of constantly searching and learning about my condition. Knowing that this mental health illness doesn't get cured but only gets manageable is wearing me out," she added.    In the face of renewed lockdowns, rising cases of anxiety, depression, and suicide, among others, are only bound to spark increased demand for mental health services.  

MANO DELA CRUZ

Writer Mano Dela Cruz, 30, is shown sharing stories of his manic episodes, describing the experience as being on ‘top of the world.’ Individuals diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type II suffer more often from episodes of depression than hypomania. Depressive periods, ‘the lows,’ translate to feelings of guilt, loss of pleasure, low energy, and thoughts of suicide. 

Mano says the mess in his room indicates his disposition, whether he's in a manic or depressive state. "I know that I'm not stable when I look at my room and it's too cluttered. There are days when I don't have the energy to clean up and even take a bath,” he says. 

Mano was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type II in 2016, when he was in his mid-20s. His condition comes with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder traits, requiring lifelong treatment with antipsychotics and mood stabilizers such as antidepressants.

Mano resorts to biking as a form of exercise and to release feel-good endorphins, which helps combat depression, according to his psychiatrist.

Mano waits for his psychiatric consultation at a hospital in Angeles, Pampanga.

Mano shares a laugh with his sister inside their home. “It took a while for my family to understand my mental health illness,” he says. It took the same time for him to accept his condition.

RYAN BALDONADO

Ryan Baldonado, 30, shares his mental health condition in an online interview. Ryan is in quarantine after experiencing symptoms of Covid-19.

KARLA LONGJAS

Karla Longjas, 27, does a headstand during meditative yoga inside her room, which is filled with bottles of alcohol. Apart from her medications, she practices yoga to have mental clarity, calmness, and stress relief. 

Karla shares that in some days, she has hallucinations and tries to sketch them. 

In April 2019, Karla was inflicting harm on herself, leading to her two-week hospitalization as advised by her psychiatrist. In the same year, she was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.  The stigma around her mental illness made her feel so uncomfortable that she had to use a fake name to hide her identity. 

Karla buys her prescriptive medications in a drug store. Individuals clinically diagnosed with a psychosocial disability can avail themselves of the 20% discount for persons with disabilities.

Karla Longjas is photographed at her apartment in Makati. Individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) exhibit symptoms such as self-harm, unstable relationships, intense anger, and impulsive or self-destructive behavior. BPD is a dissociative disorder that is not commonly diagnosed in the Philippines.

COVID-19 photo essay: We’re all in this together

About the author, department of global communications.

The United Nations Department of Global Communications (DGC) promotes global awareness and understanding of the work of the United Nations.

23 June 2020 – The COVID-19 pandemic has  demonstrated the interconnected nature of our world – and that no one is safe until everyone is safe.  Only by acting in solidarity can communities save lives and overcome the devastating socio-economic impacts of the virus.  In partnership with the United Nations, people around the world are showing acts of humanity, inspiring hope for a better future. 

Everyone can do something

Inclusive solutions

Keep future leaders learning

A mother helps her daughter Ange, 8, take classes on television at home in Man, Côte d'Ivoire.  Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, caregivers and educators have responded in stride and have been instrumental in finding ways to keep children learning.  In Côte d'Ivoire, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) partnered with the Ministry of Education on a ‘school at home’ initiative, which includes taping lessons to be aired on national TV and radio.  Ange says: “I like to study at home.  My mum is a teacher and helps me a lot.  Of course, I miss my friends, but I can sleep a bit longer in the morning.  Later I want to become a lawyer or judge."  Photo: UNICEF/UNI320749

Global solidarity

People in Nigeria’s Lagos State simulate sneezing into their elbows during a coronavirus prevention campaign.  Many African countries do not have strong health care systems.  “Global solidarity with Africa is an imperative – now and for recovering better,” said United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres.  “Ending the pandemic in Africa is essential for ending it across the world.” Photo: UNICEF Nigeria/2020/Ojo

A new way of working

Henri Abued Manzano, a tour guide at the United Nations Information Service (UNIS) in Vienna, speaks from his apartment.  COVID-19 upended the way people work, but they can be creative while in quarantine.  “We quickly decided that if visitors can’t come to us, we will have to come to them,” says Johanna Kleinert, Chief of the UNIS Visitors Service in Vienna.  Photo courtesy of Kevin Kühn

Life goes on

Hundreds of millions of babies are expected to be born during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Fionn, son of Chloe O'Doherty and her husband Patrick, is among them.  The couple says: “It's all over.  We did it.  Brought life into the world at a time when everything is so uncertain.  The relief and love are palpable.  Nothing else matters.”  Photo: UNICEF/UNI321984/Bopape

Putting meals on the table

Sudanese refugee Halima, in Tripoli, Libya, says food assistance is making her life better.  COVID-19 is exacerbating the existing hunger crisis.  Globally, 6 million more people could be pushed into extreme poverty unless the international community acts now.  United Nations aid agencies are appealing for more funding to reach vulnerable populations.  Photo: UNHCR

Supporting the frontlines

S7-Episode 2: Bringing Health to the World

“You see, we're not doing this work to make ourselves feel better. That sort of conventional notion of what a do-gooder is. We're doing this work because we are totally convinced that it's not necessary in today's wealthy world for so many people to be experiencing discomfort, for so many people to be experiencing hardship, for so many people to have their lives and their livelihoods imperiled.”

Dr. David Nabarro has dedicated his life to global health. After a long career that’s taken him from the horrors of war torn Iraq, to the devastating aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami, he is still spurred to action by the tremendous inequalities in global access to medical care.

“The thing that keeps me awake most at night is the rampant inequities in our world…We see an awful lot of needless suffering.”

:: David Nabarro interviewed by Melissa Fleming

A year has passed since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March, 11, 2020. A virus not visible to the human eye has left its mark in every corner of the world. No single image can define the loss and heartache of millions of global citizens, but photojournalists were there to document the times as best they could. From the exhaustion on the faces of frontline medical workers to vacant streets once bustling with life, here is a look back at photo essays published by U.S. News photo editors from the past year. When seen collectively, these galleries stitch together a year unlike any other.

In January of 2020, empty streets, protective masks and makeshift hospital beds became the new normal in Wuhan, a metropolis usually bustling with more people than New York City. Chinese authorities suspended flights, trains and public transportation, preventing locals from leaving the area, and placing a city of 11 million people under lockdown. The mass quarantine invokes surreal scenes and a grim forecast.

Photojournalist Krisanne Johnson documented New Yorkers in early March of 2020, during moments of isolation as a climate of uncertainty and tension hung over the city that never sleeps.

Sanaysay Tungkol Sa COVID-19 – Maikling Sanaysay Ukol Sa Pandemya

Halimbawa ng sanaysay tungkol sa covid-19.

SANAYSAY TUNGKOL SA COVID-19 – Sa panahong ito, milyun-milyong Pilipino ang naapektuhan ng pandemyag COVID-19.

Sa paksang ito, magbibigay kami ng maikling sanaysay tungkol sa pandemya at sa mga katotohanang ipinakita nito sa ating mga kababayan.

Pandemya, Ang Masakit na Katotohanan

Pagdating ng balita tungkol sa COVID-19, hindi natin sineryoso. Pinapasok ang mga dayuhan kahit na ito’y delikado. Pinagtawanan natin ginawa lamang na balita, sinabihang kumain tayo ng saging at palakasin lamang ang resistensiya.

Ngunit hindi ito naging sapat at padami lamang ng padami ang mga kaso nito sa Pilipinas. Subalit, sinasabihan pa rin ang publiko na kontrolado ang sitwasyon at walang kailangang ikatakot.

Iyon naman ay maiitindihan, ayaw natin ng kaguluhan. Magdudulot lamang ito ng karagdagang problema sa ating lipunan. Pero sana naman ay binigyang pansin ang tawag ng mga experto tungkol sa sakit.

Ang katotohanan ay hindi tayo handa. Ang katotohanan ay hindi sapat ang ating ginawa para mapigilan ang pagdaragsa ng sakit buong Pilipinas na ang nakakaranas. Masakit mang isipin pero sa kasalukuyang panahon wala nang makakatakas.

Eto ang katotohanan na dapat nating intindihin. Dapat nating pag-aralan at dapat nating seryosohin. Mga doktor, nurse, at mga tauhang medical, araw araw ang sakripisyo para lamang sa atin.

Pero ang masakit na katotohanan ay ang karamihan sa kanila ay napabayaan. Marami na ang namatay, pero hanggang ngayun, hustisya pa rin ay ipinaglalaban.

Masakit nga ang katotohanan, pero paano tayo makakatulong? Iyon dapat ang tanong natin sa ating sarili. Hindi bakuna ang dapat hanapin kundi tamang sistema. Dahil pag may tamang sistema susunod na ng mabilisan ang disiplina.

Masakit man ang katotohanan pero mahirap nang ibalik ang dati nating buhay. Subalit kailangan nating magkaisa para malabanan ang pandemya.

COVID-19 Photo Essay

Photos by Chris Low

A new reality: As news of the spread of COVID-19 became more prevalent, students began practicing social distancing and other safety precautions in the classroom. In late March, campus was closed to comply with Oregon’s “Stay Home, Save Lives” mandate.

Sign of the times: A traffic sign on highway 99W reminds drivers coming into Newberg to avoid large group gatherings.

Strength in community: While campus was closed, the Bruin Community Pantry food bank remained open, with enhanced safety protocols, to ensure that no George Fox student went hungry.

Social distancing: A student sits alone in the university’s outdoor amphitheater. As students moved home to begin remote learning, sights like this around campus became much more common.

Meeting of the minds: The university leadership team, including President Robin Baker, connects via Zoom to discuss how best to care for students in a remote learning environment.

Deep cleaning: A Jani-King employee disinfects one of the residence hall bathrooms.

Home/work: English professor Jessica Ann Hughes leads class from a makeshift home office.

Virtual classroom: Biblical studies professor Brian Doak finds a creative way to engage with students.

Signs of hope: George Fox alumna Jessica (Lavarias) Brittell (’06), co-owner of MOB Signs, created this display outside the Providence Newberg Medical Center to show appreciation for doctors and nurses on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The university that prays together… Jake Thiessen and Moses Hooper from the marketing communications department pray before a virtual meeting.

Saysay ng Wikang Filipino sa Gitna ng Pandemya

By Christian Jay P. Ordoña, Teacher I, Bongabon NHS

Ang Wika sa Gitna ng Pandemya Habang ang buong mundo ay dumaranas ng krisis dahil sa pandemya, kasabay naman nito ang pag-unlad ng ating sariling wika. Nagkaroon ng mas maraming panahon ang bawat isa sa atin na gamitin ang sariling wika sa pakikipag-ugnayan. Ito ay marahil nalimitahan ang mga taong kausap natin. Sa elektronikong pakikipag-ugnayan naman ay mas nagagamit natin ang ating sariling wika. Naging madali sa atin ang komunikasyon sapagkat hindi tayo nalimitahan. Mas madaling maipaabot ang iba’t ibang paraan ng pagtulong sa pagbibigay ng instruksyon sa mga tao gamit ang ating wika. Sa usaping pagbibigay ng impormasyon at instruksyon para sa mga tao upang makaiwas na mahawahan ng COVID-19, mas madali itong naipabatid sa pamamagitan ng ating wika. Bawat barangay ay patuloy sa pagbibigay ng paalala sa kasagsagan ng pagdami ng nadapuan ng virus at madali itong naunawaan ng mga tao dahil din sa ating wika. Sa panonood ng telebisyon ay nakapokus ang mga tao sa mga impormasyon kaya madali nila itong nasusubaybayan at nalalaman ang kalagayan ng ating bansa. Sa panahon din ng pandemya ay lalong naging bukas sa lahat ang mga isyu ng ating lipunan. Ang Social Media at Saysay ng Wika sa Gitna ng Pandemya Karamihan sa mga tao sa mundo ay pamilyar sa social media. Marami sa atin ay may kani-kaniyang account sa iba’t ibang aplikasyon sa social media. Ito ay naging daan para sa lahat upang makaugnay tayo sa kung ano ang kalagayan ng ating lipunan. Nagiging daan din ang social media upang ang tao ay makapagbigay ng suhestiyon at opinyon sa isang partikular na isyu o argumento. Mas madali tayong makipagpalitan o sumagot sa bawat argumento. Sa pamamagitan din

nito ay mas nahahasa ang ating isip at lumalawak ang ating pang- unawa sa ating lipunang kinabibilangan. Malaki ang bahagi ng ating

sariling wika rito upang maabot ng ating pang-unawa ang mga opinyon at argumento hinggil sa isang partikular na isyu. Ang social media rin ang naging daan upang mas mabilis na mailahad at maipabatid ang mga tuntuning dapat gawin habang tayo ay dumaranas ng krisis dahil

sa pandemya. Nakikita natin ang tunay na kalagayan ng iba’t ibang tao sa iba’t ibang sitwasyon habang tayo ay pinag-iingat ng gobyerno upang mapabilang sa mga taong tatamaan ng sakit o virus. Ang social media ay naging daan upang mas maipaunawa sa mga tao ang kahalagahan ng pagsunod sa protocol ng gobyerno upang mapabilis at makaiwas sa COVID-19. Mas madali itong naunawaan ng mga tao sapagkat ang wikang ginamit ay ang ating wika upang lahat ay makaugnay at makaunawa. Ang Wika sa Usaping Politika sa Gitna ng Pandemya Tayo ay kasalukuyan pa ring tinatahak ang hamon ng pandemya. Sa kabilang banda, ay lumuluwag na ang kilos ng mga tao dahil nalimitahan dahil sa COVID-19 kaya masasabi nating kayang-kaya nating malamapasan ito kung patuloy tayong makikipagtulungan sa programa ng gobyerno para sa pag-iwas dito. Ang pandemya ay naging daan rin upang makita natin kung sino sa mga nakaupo sa taas ang may malasakit sa ating mga kababayan. Naging bukas ang mga tao sa pagbibigay ng obserbasyon sa mga namumuno. Mas madali nilang naipababatid ang kanilang mga hinaing at dalahin gamit ang sariling wika. Mas nagiging bukas at kasangkot tayo sa isyu ng ating bansa. Mas madali nilang marinig at maunawaan ang ating mga hinaing. Kaya naman sa panahon ng pandemya ay labis nating nagamit ang ating sariling wika sa pakikipag-ugnayan.

‘Pandemya’ is Sawikaan Word of the Year 2020

What word best encapsulates the common Filipino experience this year?

Presenters at Sawikaan 2020: Edisyong Pandemya (Pandemic Edition) put forward terms that, before March this year, were very rarely on Filipinos’ lips, if at all. Some were not even coined before then.

“Ayuda,” “blended learning,” “contact tracing,” “quarantine,” “social distancing,” “testing,” “virus,” and “webinar” were 8 of the top 10 “Salita ng Taon” (Words of the Year) selected by the Filipinas Institute of Translation based on the best entries – with abstract explanations – that came in after a public callout in August.

“2020” itself is one of the top 10, for being the name of the year humanity will be talking about for a long time, and will probably never forget.

But the one word that put all these other words in people’s mouths – new terms and old ones that have taken on new meanings – is already in the title of the event, for very obvious reasons: “pandemya” (pandemic).

“Pandemya” is Sawikaan’s Salita ng Taon (Word of the Year) for 2020.

“Sa tingin ko, ito ‘yung pinakamalaking salita na may pinakamakabuluhang kahulugan, na sa tingin ko ay nararapat talagang maipaliwanag sa mga tao kung ano talaga ang kalikasan at katangian ng isang pandemya, dahil napakalaki ng epekto nito sa mundo,” said Zarina Joy Santos, whose paper defending “pandemya” as the word of the year bested the other 9.

(In my opinion, this is the biggest word with the most relevant meaning, which I think should be explained to the people as to the nature and characteristics of a pandemic, because it has a huge impact on the world.)

Many Filipinos didn’t seem to know what a pandemic was until it hit the country in March, Santos said. Filipinos hardly ever Googled “pandemya” or “pandemic” before COVID-19, she added.

Santos said she also pushed for “pandemya” to be the country’s word of the year for 2020 to help get Filipinos to take the COVID-19 pandemic seriously, and to prepare for future pandemics, because they are bound to happen.

Although the 9 other presenters defended their “words of the year” excellently, “pandemya” is the “root cause” of the other words making the shortlist, the “mother” of all the other entries, said Santos.

Second place: ‘Social distancing’

“Social distancing” came in second. Yol Jamendang, the term’s presenter, described the misery social distancing is causing many people, himself included, and how it embodies the authorities’ ineptitude in addressing the pandemic.

“ Ang dapat itakwil at layuan ay ‘yung mga lideratong palpak, at hindi ang isa’t isa (What we should disown and shun is inept leadership, and not one another),” Jamendang said.

Third place: ‘Contact tracing’

“Contact tracing” placed third. Its presenter Romeo Peña highlighted how the term took on a meaning unique to the Philippine context. He associated it with red-tagging and Oplan Tokhang under the Duterte administration.

“Tokhang” was Sawikaan’s Salita ng Taon in 2018 .

On a lighter note, Peña noted how Filipinos joked about how they thought “tsismosas” or neighborhood gossips would make good contact tracers.

The presenters defended the words in the top 10 with full-on research papers. The institute judged the competition based on these papers.

National Artist for Literature Virgilio Almario, founder of the Filipinas Institute of Translation, said not all entries to this year’s Sawikaan were pandemic-related, but the institute wanted to focus on the pandemic because, undoubtedly, it defined 2020 not just for Filipinos, but for humanity itself. – Rappler.com
