Dry Run for Face-to-face Classes Set On January 11 to 23

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I can't explain how fucking angry I am at this Department of Education official  who is aware about the suicides yet laughed about it? I'm so F*CKING disgusted. 

She laughed about students committing suicide over modules?!

"there are still students who commit suicide ""because"" of modules"

I'm so fucking done with her and DepEd as a whole. They should fire this insensitive sonofabitch!

Mental health is also as important as your physical health. Mental health matters!!! Naturingan na DepEd official(?) pero parang walang pinag-aralan. 

They don't even care about those who committed suicide. Endangering the entire nation's students is nothing to them. 

Mga educator na walang pinag aralan akala mo may medical background nanood lang naman ata ng conspirashit sa YouTube.

DepEd is also trending because Sec. Leonor Briones said studies show that children have a higher chance of contracting COVID-19 at home than in schools, and President Rodrigo Duterte has just approved a 'pilot' face-to-face classes in Jan 21-23, 2021.

Guinea pigs mga kabataan? Seryoso ba sila? They will risk the lives of the youth to "dry-run" their theories taken out of the blue? 

Whoah! Have they gone insane? Did they even consider the chances of catching the virus while travelling to and from the school?

Sobrang nakaka bother ang way of thinking and decision making nila.

If you have 45 students in a room, that is representing 45 different families. The chances of exposure is 45x higher compared to holding online classes wherein students are in the confines of their own homes.. Jusko mahirap ba to intindihin? 

Hirap na hirap na sila na mag-isip ng ganyan. Sala na sa hulog ang mga nasa gobyernong ito. 

Where did those studies come from and were these validated? Ang bilis lang nila dumampot ng so called “studies” di naman malinaw ang basis. The medical experts of then IATF should be the one to give the recommendation and not the Education Sec. ang gulo ng pamamalakad nila!

Tama yan, papasukin natin ang mga kids. Tapos paguwi nila sa bahay, sila pa ang posibleng maging mga carriers. Berigud DepEd! Tama kayo. Tamaan kayo ng kidlat ng isandaang beses.

Haha! Experts sila no need daw ng disturbing data where cases are still constantly increasing.

They need to show the numbers. If they have stats they need to release. Also... if "children has a higher chance of contracting COVID19 at home" edi dapat hindi na nila cinancel ang school year.. Sino ba niloloko nang mga'to.

Iniisip ko mostly of the students who would go to school are the poor ones, since wala naman silang place or gadgets that can cater their educational needs, mas nakakatkot once nagka-Covid sila who would helped them??? Hazard pay ng hospital staff di mabigay bigay.

I just remembered na sinubukan nila ito sa Korea but stopped it since tumaas ulit ang Covid cases.

WTF! It's hard to accept that students have higher chances of contracting COVID-19 at home and lower chance of getting it outside. Like geezz! I think Sec Leonor has his brain put on backwards.

What was the point of students staying home for 10 months? What's the point of having a quarantine just because the government heard that there's Covid-19 vaccines that doesn't mean the whole Philippines can go outside now.

Briones' claim must be backed with data. Otherwise, hers are empty words. Sintido common, wouldn't it be safer for kids to stay home with family, than mingle with other kids who might be silent carriers?

Then, what's the purpose of that "Stay At Home" phrase that can be seen since the lockdown started? Even if we're not going to conduct another study, it is clearly stated that schools are more crowded (in population) than our homes. Tao po mga students at teachers natin, hindi imortal Ang mga employees na pinapasok kahit may pandemic pero wala namang provided na regular testing, maaaring mamatay. Wala ring any obligation to treat those who may get infected for those reporting for work.

Hahaha, the more contacts kids have outside their family is safer? Wow!!! They really are the alter egos of Duturtle. It seems there’s a contest within this admin on who can come up with the most ridiculous logic, with Harry Roque following the lead of the previous mayor of Davao.

Di ba mas safe and protected  ang mga bata if they are at home. Ok ang face to face sana if the vaccine is already available.

Di nila iniisip na pwede maging spreader ang bata. Paano ang mga may edad sa bahay, pag-uwi ng bata?

Dapat diyan kay Briones pinapaikot sa lahat ng school sa Pilipinas since gusto niyang ipush yang face to face class. Dapat siya mismo mag inspect ng facilities ng schools para malaman niya kung safe ba talaga mag face to face class sa gitna ng pandemic.

Feeling ko sa mga job nila, mapupunta ka sa alternate universe. Tapos yung pag iisip na yan NORMAL lang sa kanila. Parang ads ng RC Cola! Aliens or mutants?

Fresh Leafy Veggies for Salad Mixes are Available at Future Fresh

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Highly recommended talaga ang salad mixes veggies from Future Fresh. 

We enjoyed the salad mixes (Power Salad Mix, Super Salad Mix, Salanova Mix) that we ordered. Really newly harvested and delivered the same day,  so clean, crispy fresh, and no insect bites at all. These are the freshest Roquette Arugula, Baby Kale and two types of Salanova Lettuces that we've had.

"Future Fresh grows and provides the cleanest and freshest produce available in Manila grown in clean and controlled indoor environment.  Available daily with delivery and products available 365 days a year!"

We even made it into our third veggies salad day with the three bags containing a generous amount of leafy green veggies delivered to us and my kids prepared and enjoyed them. Great bonding moment with my boys.

There's three of us feasting on these leafy veggies yet we still have some leftovers in the fridge from the three bags. I just checked and they're still fresh. So tomorrow is the 4th day...but thinking of making smoothies from these along with some fruits.

To give the details:

We made Kani Salad using the Super Salad Mix (Roquette Arugula and Salanova Lettuce) of Future Fresh together with ripe mangoes, crab strips, and boiled eggs.

Tossed this after the photo and video ops

We actually made sort of another serving of these on the next day since we still had more of the mangoes, crab sticks and eggs.

Second Salad using the Power Salad Mix (Baby Kale and two types of Salanova lettuces) of Future Fresh together with potatoes, tomatoes, boiled eggs, almonds, cashews, peanuts, sunflower seeds, ...we opted not to add the apples and raisins since there's still more leafy veggies remaining for a third salad, or perhaps a different dish.

As you can see, we obviously love eggs.

We also made burgers using the Salanova Mix (two kinds of Salanova lettuces) of Future Fresh together with tomatoes, cheese, mayo, pickles, boiled eggs again, (oh yes we love eggs), of course the beef patty (thick ones) and burger buns with sesame seeds

Admittedly, we were full from the veggie feast for the whole day

There's more veggies remaining for tomorrow so we're thinking of making it into a green smoothie. What do you think? Tomorrow surprised us because my Pinay friend who lives in Switzerland implied that having a salad is still better. So everything left was also made into a salad but with only apples and raisins, though I wasn't able to take photos anymore.

Aside from being grown in an indoor controlled environment via hydroponics with most probably almost zero pests if not none at all, their veggies are really fresh because they are harvested and delivered on the same day. Order before 8 pm any day and get them tomorrow.

Wow! Now that is service we need as if we're just harvesting them nearby.

For those who don't have the luxury of time and space, or worried they have the black thumb, to plant and grow their own food (veggies, herbs, root crops, fruit trees, etc.) Future Fresh is available for our convenience so we could eat healthy. At least for the leafy veggies.

This is also your "opportunity to promote health" by gift-giving "the freshest produce for this season" since you could order a bag or two for your friend.

One bag of their veggies is only around P200. Very reasonable indeed. You can pay online either by Credit / Debit Card, Paymaya, GCash or COD (but if you're giving them as a gift to others, better not choose the last because you don't ask your friend, colleague or relative to pay for your gift. Lol. That option is for our personal orders... hehehe)

Check out their official Facebook page for more details....and their website to order online.
