Upon arrival at the office, I put my stuff in and immediately headed to the wash area to wash/disinfect the mask I used that morning.

I knew right then, we will isolate the place for a month. Though all of the important, pending, and heavy files are stored in the PC. Some are shared on cloud storage and online drives.

We prefer to buy fresh meat/poultry, fresh vegetables and fruits from the wet market. The choices are abundant unlike in groceries, meats are frozen and almost grayish in color, chickens are frozen with too much water absorption. In other words these are rotten already. Please practice how to detect, scrutinize fresh from “bilasa.” After your market, sanitize your hands, arms, legs, shoes with soap and running water. Next is to sanitize the remaining money you have. Wash the coins and wipe your paper money with wet wipes/rags/towel with either bleach/disinfectant solution or alcohol. Then sanitize the surface of your palengke load. Lastly, sanitizing your gate by spraying it with bleach or disinfectant solution is better. Spray your flooring with the same solution from where you came in - from your house gate to your main door. Also, sanitize your door knobs, hand rails and mobile phones every now and then.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Take a bath and soak your clothes in a basin or just put them in a separate laundry basket where you can wash them after your food preparation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Put your shopped goodies straight to your dirty kitchen so you can wash the food you bought with running water. Before Covid-19 pandemic, it’s been a practice in our home to wash the fruits with running water, some we scrub with rock salt, wash and dry them after. Practice washing thoroughly your eco bags, hang them to dry for re-use on your next palengke day.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Lockdown Diaries during CoViD-19 Pandemic" class="size-medium wp-image-5815" height="300" src="https://www.deiville.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/3A9203E8-CE7C-4AAB-94AE-027E6CC2B749-300x300.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="300" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Read books, watch your fave movies/series, and cook healthy and “pangmatagalan” meals</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>March 22, 2020:</strong><span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span>Home Quarantine Pass from our barangay was distributed.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>March 25, 2020:</strong><span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span>Load up on fruits, too bad the vendors of “saging” (bananas) have gone goin’ bananas.

Going outside seems getting scarier as the figures of positive cases increase. While the sari-sari stores were in town, some of these merchandise were a bit higher than most convenient stores. Given that the people have no choice, they tend to patronize canned goods over healthy meals. The psyche of seeing, having instant food can overcome a day’s survival.

Workers without vehicles are having a hard time getting a ride going to their respective workplace. Bikers in the main thoroughfares have seen a major increase, women in particular are also seen riding the bike with their working bags on. The only hindrance with biking per se in Manila is that there are no safe bike lanes for everyone. The humidity brought by the weather adds a toll to every rider.

As required by Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID), people should wear masks when going out in public places.</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"<em>The best face masks for civilians to wear are made of cloth.

Besides, designers have been in the fabric-mask game for a long time.</em>" (Vogue)</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Small businesses have stepped up by creating locally-made reusable and washable cloth face mask that serves its purpose, in just about every style you can imagine. Designed with ear loops, adjustable strap, snug fit, and provisions for filter sheets. It looks like we’re going to be wearing cloth face masks for a while, which is all the more reason to find one that tune in with your lifestyle. For added protection, you can place a surgical mask inside your cloth mask.</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We've rounded up some of Manila's local brand face masks, from two-toned, some neutrals, some pastels, summer look, abstract to floral prints and the aesthetic sense.

When going to crowded environment make sure to wear one of these instead of the plain cloth mask. Cloth mask served its purpose if accompanied with filters and the raw material used. Cloth mask is safe to wear in occasions with less contact with people.</li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Right FIT.</strong> Fit measurement is not readily available when purchasing face mask. Some mask makers create a model with strap/loop adjustments. Some sellers include fit measurement information on product description. Pay close attention if the mask is not sealed or set properly onto your face, chances are, loose mask will not protect against fine particles and is less comfortable.</li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Wear it tight</strong>. Face mask should not be touched by bare hands when you are already outside, otherwise it's prone to contamination. Under any circumstances, do not allow your face mask to continually fall below the nose area or stays around the chin. Wear your face mask with comfort and strap it really tight.</li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Avoid lipstick.</strong> Cheap lip colors have high chemical concentrate (same goes with the luxe brands) and could pose danger to your. Choose lipstick that are safe for everyday use. “<em>Trapped heat, humidity from mouth breathing and friction from the mask can irritate delicate lips. It’s also very difficult to reapply lip balm frequently under a mask and you may also be less inclined to keep up drinking fluids. This can all add up to exceptionally dry, cracked lips. It’s vital to find a long-lasting lip product that stays put and performs barrier repair.”</em> (Dr. Sam Bunting). Ideally, use a stick or wand formula rather than a pot so you don't need to put your finger in and increase the risk of germ spreading. "<em>Whether you choose a disposable paper mask or a washable mask or a fancy cloth scarf mask to cover your face from nose down, the messy result is the same: smears on the mask, smears all around the mouth and face</em>." (Puente, M. 2020) This pandemic, lipsticks took a deep plunge. Practicality-wise, consumers dive into products that contain less inconvenience to deal with. Rather than lipstick, some chose smudge-proof lipsticks, lip balms, lip pencils, lip tint hydrating balm, or tinted balm. Some focus on applying eye-shadows and tints to highlight the upper section of the face while wearing the face mask on. </li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Do not buy from scalpers.</strong> Online sellers are rampant and offer unrealistic jack up price. If you spot face mask sellers with higher suggested retail price, widened your options and look for the best price that suits your budget.</li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Keep it clean.</strong> When going outside, our personal habit is to bring extra face mask sealed in a clean zip lock, carry pouches, or small drawstring bag. Do not keep your face mask JUST inside the bag. The bottom part of the handbag is usually the dirtiest.</li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Pair with small-framed sunglasses/eyeglasses.</strong> The purpose of wearing eye protection glass/goggles/face shield is to avoid scratching your eye/face. Specifically to keep away from air borne virus and droplets. Make sure your face mask is sit high and sealed around the bridge of your nose and fit tight so that the moist won't get through the eyeglass.</li></ul><ul><li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Communicate with your eyes.</strong> Practice to convey your message through your eyes. A glow in your eyes will show your smile and responses. There's an age-old saying the “eyes are the window to the soul” and in many ways it holds true. There are other ways to show respect, but our eyes reflect our sincerity, warmth, and honesty. "<em>Eye contact is a type of body language that is extremely important during communication and conversation. Sometimes, our eyes and body language speak even more than words. Keeping eye contact with the person you are talking to shows that you are actively listening and paying attention.</em>" (Liam. 2019)</li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;">Worst purchase so far.

</i><div><strong><br /></strong></div><div><p><strong>Changemakers: Induction of Ashoka Fellows</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Manila</strong> - Ashoka, a global NGO committed to support and enabling a network of social entrepreneurs and innovators who are "Changemakers" - visionaries with intensive and human-centered approach. They are the leading social innovators who have championed inclusive and systems-changing solutions in Filipino communities. The Ashoka Induction and Fellow Launch was held October 30, 2020 to officially induct three outstanding fellows with advocacy work in the field of technology transfer, education and employment sectors.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ashoka Fellowship program primarily elects fellow and provide support for start-up partners, create opportunities and collaborate with other social enterprise globally. In the event, Terri Jayme-Mora, Country Director for Ashoka Philippines, led the induction in honoring Ryan Gersava, co-founder of Virtualahan, Ben Abadiano, founder of Pamulaan Center of Indigenous Peoples (IP) Education, and Scott Stiles, co-founder of Fair Employment Foundation who all have exemplified what it means to make a resounding and lasting impact that benefits all Filipinos. Their respective organisations help Filipinos around the country go beyond limitations- social, economic, and cultural - and help them achieve so much more, while taking down barriers and regressive systems.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Changemakers_Induction of Ashoka Fellows" class="wp-image-6644" height="190" src="https://www.deiville.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Changemakers-Induction-of-Ashoka-Fellows_02-300x114.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="500" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The changemakers from L-R: Ben Abadiano, President and Founder, The Pamulaan Centre of Indigenous Peoples Education; Ryan Gersava , President and Founder, Virtualahan; and Scott Stiles, CEO and Co-Founder, Fair Employment Foundation</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: justify;">“<em>We’re proud to welcome Scott, Ben, and Ryan into the global Ashoka Fellowship. Their transformative work extends to regions, sectors, and people that are often overlooked despite having potential solutions for the good of all. They spotlight how everyone can be a changemaker,</em>” says Ashoka Philippines Country Director Terri Jayme-Mora. Founded in 1980, Ashoka has since created a massive network of professionals that supports over 3,500 Ashoka Fellows from 93 countries. Now in its 40th year, Ashoka has built and nurtured the largest network of leading social innovators from across various sectors, professions, and countries. After a rigorous selection process, they are introduced to a lifelong Fellowship, where every member is committed to championing new patterns of social good.</p><p><strong>Building systems-changing solutions for Filipinos everywhere</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">“<em>We have it in us, the power to create positive change, the ability to turn our impossibles around. I hope that my journey could serve as an example that everyone can be a changemaker,</em> “ says Ryan Gervasa, one of the three inductees. The youngest Ashoka Fellow from the Philippines, Ryan was diagnosed with Hepatitis B which left him barred from having access to his dream job. As a result, Gervasa co-founded Virtualahan, an enterprise that uses cost-effective and transferable social technology that allows socially excluded populations to access work in the global digital economy, with focus on holistic coaching and education to further their efforts. In 2019, 78% of Virtualahan graduates reported an increase in their self-confidence, 98% felt a strong sense of belonging, 84% learned to become self-sufficient, and an astounding 92% credit Virtualahan for helping them accept their condition.</p><p><img alt="Ryan Gervasa - Virtualahan_Changemakers Induction of Ashoka Fellows" class="alignnone wp-image-6647 size-medium" height="164" src="https://www.deiville.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Ryan-Gervasa-Virtualahan_Changemakers-Induction-of-Ashoka-Fellows-300x164.png" title="Ryan Gervasa - Virtualahan_Changemakers Induction of Ashoka Fellows" width="300" /></p><p><strong>Education for all</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ben Abadiano lived with the Manobo Tribe in Bukidnon and Mangyan Tribe in Oriental Mindoro, where he put up a school of the indigenous peoples (IPs) called Tugdaan as a way to address the strong desire of community elders for a school that teaches the youth to value their culture and heritage. In 2006, Ben established the first-ever tertiary-level program for indigenous peoples in the Philippines - the Pamulaan Center of Indigenous Peoples Education. The alumni of Pamulaan’s 4-year degree courses are now youth leaders working in IP communities, development organizations, government, and as teachers, community facilitators, agriculturists, anthropologists, and trainers in the private sector.</p><p><img alt="Ben Abadiano_Pamulaan Center of Indigenous Peoples Education_Changemakers Induction of Ashoka Fellows" class="alignnone wp-image-6648 size-medium" height="220" src="https://www.deiville.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Ben-Abadiano_Pamulaan-Center-of-Indigenous-Peoples-Education_Changemakers-Induction-of-Ashoka-Fellows-300x220.png" title="Ben Abadiano_Pamulaan Center of Indigenous Peoples Education_Changemakers Induction of Ashoka Fellows" width="300" /></p><p><strong>Fair employment for Filipino Domestic Workers across Asia</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Lastly, Scott Stiles opened Fair Employment Foundation back in 2014 as a means to address the harsh conditions migrant domestic workers across Asia are being subjected to. Their mission is to build and test ethical recruitment agencies and training center models, which seek to make exploitative recruitment unprofitable. Stiles, alongside his co-founders, built Fair Employment Foundation to shift the current model to a more fair and holistic one that greatly benefits the domestic migrant worker and their families in the long-term. Scott intends to make the Fair Employment Model a blueprint for ethical and sustainable models for employment agencies and training centers across Asia.</p><p><strong>Ashoka 5-point</strong> criteria for social innovators includes:</p><ul><li>New idea</li><li>Creativity</li><li>Entrepreneurial quality</li><li>Ethical fiber</li><li>Social impact</li></ul><p></p><p>In the Philippines, notable Ashoka fellows are driving their path towards a successful leadership management and problem-solvers.</p><p><img alt="Ines Fernandez - Arugaan_Changemakers Induction of Ashoka Fellows" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6645" height="159" src="https://www.deiville.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Changemakers-Induction-of-Ashoka-Fellows_07-300x159.png" width="300" /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ines Fernandez - Arugaan,</strong> Fellow since Aug 2014</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Through the promotion of breastfeeding and the preparation of indigenous, nutritious baby food, Ines is building a mother-led movement to improve infant and young child feeding and maternal nutrition in the Philippines.</div><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Cristina Liamzon -</strong> <strong>Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship Program,</strong> Fellow since Aug 2014</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Liamzon is building a global community of empowered Filipino migrant workers through a leadership and education program that encourages them to become drivers of change in the Philippines or in their host countries.</div><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>John Paul Maunes - Philippine Accessible Disability Services, Inc.</strong>, Fellow since Aug 2014</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Maunes is bringing to light the issue of sexual abuse among the Deaf community in the Philippines and using it to mobilize stakeholders across the law enforcement and social welfare spheres to institute new inclusive measures for the broader inclusion of the Deaf.</div><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Kevin Lee - A Single Drop For Safe Water, </strong>Fellow since Aug 2014</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lee is enabling vulnerable communities in the Philippines to demand, create and sustain water and sanitation systems through a new governance approach that simultaneously channels consumer needs and increases local government capacity to deliver.</div><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Laurindo Garcia - B-Change Foundation</strong>, Fellow since Jun 2015</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Garcia is creating replicable online communities that enable LGBT and HIV-positive youth to connect and collaborate with community organizations, service providers, government institutions – and one another – to accelerate the movement for gay rights and sexual health in Southeast Asia and beyond.</div><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Bai Rohaniza Sumndad-Usman - Teach Peace Build Peace Movement,</strong> Fellow since Aug 2017</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sumndad-Usman is committed to making peacebuilding a priority in the formative years of children by creating a wide-scale interfaith, intercultural, and intergenerational movement.

Aspirin is used for the treatment of fever & pain associated with common colds, minor aches & pains, headache, prevention of heart attacks & strokes, coronary & carotid arteries, bypasses & stents. Aspirin can be used long-term at low doses to help prevent heart attacks, stroke and blood clot formation in people at high risk for developing blood clots mostly occurred in pregnant women and non-stop bleeding can be fatal. Therefore it was not designed for abortion, over dosage of Cortal, the side effects could be bleeding. As for Dr. Nagtalon's explanation [gynecologically], medicine is practically made to heal, maintain & restore health, prevention & treatment of illness. End-users make way to come up with any form of idea. Aspirin when use the right way is beneficial, doctors even prescribed Cortal or of the same type for pregnant women who experience blood clot, again on low dose. Also for heart patient to achieve a good heart circulation. "All drugs can be abortifacient". Effects of medicine differs from one person to another.</span></li><li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><em>How is Cortal SQR different from other pain relievers?</em></strong> Faster tablet means speed solution.
