The Continuity of 2020

Everyone welcomes this year with new hopes and full of positivity. They thought of planning to do new things. Starting their own business, opening their savings accounts, buying their own houses/cars etc. but all of these plans had changed. After the volcanic eruption happened in Taal Volcano located at the Province of Batangas last January 2020 which affects most of the residents of Batangas and their nearby cities followed by the death of the famous Kobe Bryant due to Helicopter Crash on January 26, 2020, an unexpected visitor that no body wants to welcome enter the country. COVID 19 with its different variants Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma and still mutating made a big change to this world. Empty streets, closed businesses, jobless people, DEATHS and many more effects had been recorded. Even the considered large businesses had fired many employees and worst is they've already closed. Many had developed anxiety and  mental problems. Roads are closed, no public vehicles, no more medical facilities and many more had been the picture of these year.

( January 2020 ) when the famous 
Taal Volcano at Batangas Province erupted.

This leaves damages to every house, farms, animals and business 
near the area. Its ashfall even hit Metro Manila and nearby provinces.

Until this time, many are still suffering from this pandemic and 2021 calamities. We are still unsure of what will happen next including the effect of the new vaccines that where being injected to people. We still cannot say that we are already safe and we still do not know when will we recover from all the things that are happening. As of now, year 2021 the COVID virus is still mutating and getting worse. There are countries which are not safe at all due to war. There where still people that are sick and dying. From the year 2020 until now 2021, we are still uncertain about many things and all we can do is to be vigilant and to keep on praying that this things would end.
