00:00I'm so worried because my mother is old already.
00:03Actually, we're really lucky that we're here in Dubai.
00:06I feel so much pain inside also, not for everyone, for the whole world.
00:12We do have relatives back at home, relatives and friends that we do worry about.
00:17I have plan actually, but because of the virus that we have now, I canceled my vacation.
00:26If I will go home in the Philippines, it will be a 14 days quarantine and then maybe it will be
00:32hard for me to come back also. Especially if I can't go back to my work direct, I need to
00:41have a self-quarantine also for 14 days. Actually, I'm at Metro Manila in Montindupa,
00:50so as of now we are having a lockdown, a community quarantine because of the
00:56president's ask for that. I'm so worried because my mother is old already and she's the one who's
01:04taking care of my child who is seven years old now. Every day I'm calling them and informing
01:10them so if ever they don't need to do anything outside, no need to go outside, just stay at home
01:17and always wash their hands, alcohol and some sanitizer, of course, and a healthy food.
01:28I'm from Taguig City, Philippines. My family is here. Actually, we're really lucky that we're here
01:34in Gabay. I feel more safer here than in our home country because everyone is here,
01:37to be honest, in my family. And here also, it's a big plus that we are covered by insurance
01:43and we have that as a privilege here working in Dubai. I'm from Makati. I feel so much pain
01:49inside also, not for everyone, for the whole world. I always message my auntie to check out
01:56how they're doing, what they're doing, like that. They check us also. I'm from Manila. My wife is
02:02also working here. I don't need to worry about them all the time, but of course, we do have
02:07relatives back at home, relatives and friends that we do worry about and we keep in touch with
02:13so that we can keep abreast with the news and everything. I ask them to stay calm and
02:20keep themselves updated with the news and latest policies and just adhere with what the government
02:27is implementing. They need to cooperate and participate in the quarantine or the enhanced
02:33quarantine. I believe they've escalated the quarantine now in Metro Manila
02:38because it's for the benefit of everyone.
