I disagreed with you on same-sex marriage in the Philippines. The Philippines is predominantly a
Christian nation. This is especially true if the country is Roman Catholic. Regardless of the fact
that the church and the state are distinct institutions. In their legislative statutes, the Philippines'
legislators consider morals derived from the Bible. Homosexuality is on the rise in the
Philippines, according to Atif Munawar's (2015) article, with one out of every 16 men being gay.
As homosexuality rises, the question of "should same-sex marriage be legalized?" arises. It takes
on new significance when we consider it a threat to Filipino culture, values, and tradition. Same-
sex marriage should be illegal in the United States.

Teachers discovered various creative ways to communicate with students who were
unable to participate in remote classes owing to a lack of internet access or gadgets, or because
they had to take on additional jobs and responsibilities during this period. Many reached out to
us via text, phone calls, and even home visits with proper social distancing to chat one-on-one
and make group chat so that all students can join a virtual class, and for those students who can't
join a virtual class, they give modules through printed so that they can study to continue their
bottles in life to achieve their goals Our teachers did an excellent job of checking in with us to
see how we were doing. They showed genuine concern, which I admire.

Cultivating to each other to caring our environment that prioritizes strong relationships
between students and teachers, as well as peer-to-peer connections, is critical now and in the
future, and we should fight this pandemic even if it is difficult for us, we should do our best in
schooling this pandemic fights, we should stand despite challenges to pursue our dreams to finish
our studies, we are one. Defend the obstacles while praying for an end to the pandemic.
