The pandemic experience is different from one person to another. I know its weird but I have been feeling that something is about to happen whenever I was in Makati. The company I work for is in Makati, the business capital of the Philippines. I am just a regular employee who works the 8-6 grind.
I pass this place on my way to work, this is far from my workplace though
I can't explain it but I have shared this "weird feeling" with some officemates during lunch outs. That Makati have this"apocalypse vibe" for months from 2019 to the week before the lockdown that closed majority of business in Metro Manila. I laughed with my officemates while we talked about the "apocalypse vibe" I've been having then. But that feeling did not go away. So when the news about the Wuhan virus infection broke out, I was thinking that some tourist may bring it here. Which happened.
I took this picture inside the P2P bus that I usually take to go home before the quarantine period. The fare was increased so it took them longer to fill the bus, and only a few did not wear a mask.
And now people are suffering from the economic hardships brought on by the pandemic.
