After a month and a half of “house arrest”, irate senior citizens in Luzon could take it no longer and slammed the Inter Agency Task Force on COVID-19 after it declared that the order

explained that senior citizens “will not be prohibited from leaving their houses if they are going to buy essentials or seek government aid amid the COVID-19 pandemic.”

I understand the new guidelines are still being finalized, but it must be said that many seniors continue to be a force for good even if shackled by the arbitrary protocol. The CTU group is the “industrial” partner while Louella’s “Amping Cebu,” the motley group of cash donors bought the needed materials. When pictures of their volunteer work came out on social media, they received plenty of pledges here and abroad. Louella’s media savvy and linkages in the academe, charity and social enterprises plus Rudy’s support had practically given this couple a new-found advocacy and action project.

Senior citizens are finding the pandemic a challenge because our pre-COVID-19 activities are mostly in close contact around family, friends and co-workers. As we transition into the new normal of social distancing and protocols that go with the ECQ or GCQ, we miss this facet of our lives.
