What we need is discipline and cooperation

We don’t need the government to impose quarantine for us. We can do our  part stay home and self quarantine. 

We always blame the government for the rising cases of covid19 but have  we been disciplined and followed basic health protocols like social distancing, wearing mask and stay at home?

When ever I need to buy our food supply it seems everything is normal lots of people are on the road, sometimes you can see minors outside of their residence playing on the street, you can see a lots of teens roaming around without mask. 

I can feel the hardship of our health workers, they are already over work, over burden, and needed a break, but people need to eat, they need to work in order to survive.

Some people really need to work and go out so that they can provide food for their family. 

Yes health and survival is really important and some of us food is already a survival and they are willing to risk their life in order to eat and survive.

Our government cannot afford to feed the people so please help.

I don’t believe in another lock down or ECQ I believe  in peoples cooperation and discipline.

We can beat Covid19  if we do our part.

I am a tax payer I never complain we were trained to survive on our own.

Life in the rural areas is harsh all my sibling will attest to that,
we use to see our mother crying because we barely survive day to day life.

We came from extreme poverty, there are times that we eat only twice(2)  a day.
My sister (https://www.facebook.com/raquel.mogs / https://www.facebook.com/LessTraveledWorld/ ) used to drink rice coffee instead of baby milk because we cannot afford anything. My other sibling(https://www.facebook.com/mylene.mogado) wanted to attend academic quiz bee and other school-related contests on the district, division, and regional level but she can't because we don't have enough money for her transport & allowance but she consistently graduated valedictorian from elementary, high school and college.  My other sister (https://www.facebook.com/alice.mogado.5) never finish college or employed but she's so creative and learn to earn a living in various ways, farming, business, small eatery and other ways to earn. Our youngest sister is also managing a coffee shop and we teach her to not depend on someone that she has to earn on her own.

At an early age, we learn the ways in the farm from land preparation up to harvesting, every member of the family is on the farm doing manual labor. In farming we learn to live,  if we don't plant we don't eat.

I remember one time,  my Uncle told me if you don't have a job go home (province) and plant camote(sweet potato) you will never get hungry.

In spite of the hardship we learn to strive, we learn to study hard, work hard, we learn to save something for the rainy season.

With all the hardship in life, we manage not to depend on someone, we learn to stand on our own. We never asked the government for support or blame the government for being so poor. We follow rules, policies and regulations  because we believe is not the government or anyone else will uplift our living condition.

We believe we can improve our life by dreaming and working hard to attain anything our imagination is the limit.

In times of crisis like the COVID19 we are already prepared because we have been trained since we were kids.

And not only for ourselves but my sisters have shared some of their blessings to our ka barangay who are in need during the COVID19 Pandemic.

My personal cure to lean purse

1. Instead of eating out from resto, i can buy my favorite food from the market.
2. Instead of Starbucks and  other coffee shop, source out the best coffee bean from the local farm and farmer and brew my own.
3. Instead of grab rides, i choose other mode of transportation.
4. Online sale, mall sale and shopping is not saving, its spending.
5. Unnecessary bills and plans.
6. Clothing, buy what is necessary and important avoid buying one time use like fancy party dress for party.
7. Teach your kids to save! Learning to save is harder than spending. 
8. Investing returns multifold. (Safe investing)

December is the best time to save and invest.

Essay on my experience in Hokkaido Japan

My experiences in northern Japan, Hokkaido the breadbasket of Japan.

The qualities of Japanese people that I really admire are the following: They are very creative and innovative, they made use of technology and mechanization to make farmers and farming efficient. I really admire their discipline and their commitment to work.  I also observe how they care for the environment and the observance of cleanliness. All the people are very polite and very formal, punctuality must always observe.

In terms of ICT, University research are really focused on the improvement and solving the current problems of the Industry, In the case of Tokachi which is the breadbasket of Japan research and studies are targeted for the farmers and farms.

The sense of cooperation among farmers is very admirable which I would like to emulate and hopefully, i will be able to set up one in our local place in Northern Luzon, Philippines.

The foods are very rich in taste and they are always fresh. Most of the people really value their health because you can see on the food that they consume, they always have fresh vegetable, fresh ingredients, and healthy diets.

I would like to thank JICA, JICA staff and the Japan Government for giving me this opportunity to experience life in Japan, learn their best practice and see their technology first hand.
