Finding Balance

By: Beatrice Lim

The current state of our world has caused a global pause, and people have no choice but to carry out their daily activities at home. While this may be a good thing for some, some struggle to find balance in their everyday schedule, especially those who were suddenly thrust into a work-from-home situation. However, despite all the busyness, health must stay as a priority.

Through a span of almost seven months, Filipinos, especially students, haven’t gone outside due to the quarantine measures. This means spending a lot of time, if not all, at home. It’s easy to lie down and stare blankly at our phones, sleep all day, or stay up late binge watching Netflix shows. Although these activities may be “enjoyable” or “relaxing,” they shouldn’t become a daily habit.

Health is an important aspect in each of our lives. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to do the things that are also of equal importance. Good health allows us to carry out our daily schedules in a productive and optimistic manner. Most people would simply attribute the term “health” to exercising everyday. Yes, they are correct, but being healthy isn’t just based on the physical aspect. True health is so much more than that.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is a state of complete “physical, mental and social well-being” and not merely the absence of disease of infirmity. A lot of people tend to think that when you are healthy, the chances of getting sick are nonexistent. In actuality, being healthy concerns one’s overall state and not just the visual aspect of being healthy. We should begin to consider the other facets of health such as mental, emotional, spiritual, and social health.

While under quarantine, it’s easy to neglect our health due to constant distractions. But we should keep in mind that finding balance in everything we do is essential. Some suggestions to boost overall health include getting enough sleep, regulating gadget use, eating right, socializing online, journaling your thoughts and feelings, drinking enough water, and many more. These activities are simple enough that being healthy is attainable for everyone. Instead of complaining about the things we can’t control, let’s use this quarantine as an opportunity to focus on what we can do to live a healthier and better life.

MGCNLCA’s Retains Learning Modality of 4-day Face-to-Face and Friday Online Classes

In an email sent last October 20, 2022, MGC New Life Christian Academy (MGCNLCA) announced that the school will continue holding full face-to-face classes for all grade levels from Monday to Thursday, with Friday classes remaining online.

This was after DepEd Department Order No. 34, S. 2022 permitted “private schools to offer blended learning modality and full distance learning options to its students,” but mandated public schools to conduct full face-to-face classes every day.

Originally, students from all levels were supposed to go full face-to-face (F2F) from Monday to Friday in the Second to Fourth Quarters, pursuant to the original pronouncement of the Department of Education. However, due to the amendment of the DepEd Order (DO) No. 34, S. 2022, the school’s learning modality would remain the same.

In cooperation, MGCNLCA would continue to offer the same online classes to grade levels that have a minimum of eight students in the class, to ensure interaction among the learners.

Dissolution of online sections of Kinder, Grade 6, Grade 9, and Grade 10 took place at the start of the Second Quarter, with students shifting back to face-to-face.

For students who will be absent due to isolation, quarantine, or sickness, temporary Hyflex classes would still be available. The school’s end goal is to enable every student to fully transition from online classes to face-to-face. Students who are enrolled in a face-to-face set-up are not allowed to transfer to an online class.
