I most worried to those frontliners who give their best as much as they can to help the people who got positive of covid-19
and also to those who were under priveleged that they need to or have to stop their works in order for them not to get the
virus because of that they cannot provide their everyday needs.
Can not see out family doctors to have consultation. Covid cases increase and increase.
I have the heart for the frontliners I was a hospital staff also before, I know how exhausting it is.

LIVING
ALONE
11.08% are spending the ECQ alone

The biggest challenge is being away from their families
"... boredom not interacting with anyone, and having to worry about food."
Next to isolation, they fear running out of groceries
"There's some feeling of isolation just because we can't physically be with other people."
"no physical person to talk to, no going out, no one who can help me"
"Miss family and friends; no one to turn to if you get sick"
"You have no one to discuss personally about your anxiety reactions. You are force to get out to buy your needs."
"Not running out of money to pay my monthly bills and to buy food, medicine, and other basic necessities. Getting a
ride to go to the supermarket, drugstore, and other retail establishments that are open.”
"am forced to go out and buy my needs" "Buying and preparing your food"

They're anxious they might get sick and catch the virus
"The fear of being a carrier is a huge factor why i'm somewhat anxious. Having seniors in the family that are more prone to
this virus makes me worry more than actually getting it myself.
"Because of the break from the usual schedule"
They hate that their normal routine was broken
"Getting infected whenever I go out to buy basic necessities."
"Difficult to be sick when you are alone." "I'm so vulnerable to the virus"
"Experienced having flu symptoms, Alone and on my own now, uncertainty of the future
"Most of my daily and weekly routine activities were disrupted."
"i can't walk around like i used to"
"Restrictions. Before I can just drive and go do things without worrying if it's allowed. Not being as productive as I want to be."
"Work from Home and lots of con calls and video calls; work is like 24hrs"

When they're alone, they long for a sense of connection.
That's why they hate internet problems.
They want to be always-on.
Not only virtually, but also spiritually --
Whether through e-numans, video calls, or group chats.
And they can't wait to be connected with their loved ones,
physically.
Although alone, they're never lonely
"Pray, keep self busy with work, talk to friends and family"
"i get to catch up with my friends.feel the love from my family and friends"
"communicate with family and churchmates thru video calls"

Even though uncertain about the future,
they still remain positive and hopeful
"I can rest, read books, study, draw and make time for myself more"
"I'm used to just being at home and i just like being positive"
"Because i know after this, things will change for the better."
"i can discover my true self more. know more about me."
"more time for myself and i can do the things i wasnt able to do prior to the lockdown"
"I don't have anyone that I could contaminate and who could also contaminate me."

Implications for those living alone
After being socially distant, they will long for personal connections the most
While being digital is the new normal, those who lived alone during the pandemic
will have the most changes in their behavior. They human psyche as social beings
should be addressed through physical expression with their friends and families.
Create more experiences, FOMO has hit them hard more than anyone
For more than a month, they have accepted that "missing out" probably might be
acceptable for them. Because they have less distractions, they have found more
time to spend for themselves. They turned their fear to something positive. They've
discovered a new found liking to reading books, learning new skills through an
online course, or learning a new recipe from YouTube or social media.
Although already independent, the situation calls for more self-readiness
Some are used to their living arrangements, but there are still some who have
adjusted to become always ready for anything. Because of this, they have more
information on self-preparedness for the next crisis. They are also more likely to be
self-empowered by the independence they've experienced.

LIVING
WITH YOUNG
CHILDREN
29.4% are spending the ECQ with children aged 10 and below

They worry most about keeping their children healthy
"It's hard to see them staying at home all the time because they can't play outside"
Next to health, it's satisfying their need for play time
"I'm a lot more cautious for the safety of the child."
"Going outside to buy foods or other neccessities and going home is the most challenging part becuase
you dont know what you can carry to your home.
"Worried about their health is number 1. Being able to provide food in the table can be challenging too."
"Can't buy all of my child's needs bec there are limited stocks and limited money to budget."
"Gustong gusto na nila lumabas ng bahay"
"How to handle his tantrums, how to cope his boredom, how to explain the reason why he cant go outside"

The ECQ is a time to teach the importance of hygiene
"Need to maintain hygiene and distancing"
"They are always so noisy fighting" "Distracting while working (bc we have wfh set up)"
For those with WFH set ups, children are a big distraction
"Continue observing proper hygiene like proper washing of hands"
"They will become more conscious about health, cleanliness and proper hygiene"
"Frequent hand washing is a must and Alcohol."
"Kapag nag iingay yung mga kapatid mo/children habang nag cacall meeting ka "
"Noise. Dirty surroundings. Toys scattered."
"Keeping them clean. Teaching them not to touch their face."
"Very noisy at times."

They find it hard for children to be kept entertained
"they are anxious , easily bored"
"Keeping them occupied. Continuing education. Making sure they are physically active"
"They have boundless energy that adults don’t have. They cannot sit down and stay still at all"
"When we run out of things to do and they want to run and play outside"
"It's so hard to keep them entertained. They are BORED so napipilitan akong maging creative thinking of
activities to keep them busy"
"They love to eat and eat, play with me and wake up very late"

But spending more time with younger children can
be fulfilling especially for parents
"Doing the right thing, and being a father and my responsibilities. I love it!"
"They are my children, I got more time to bond with them and understand how and what they feel in this
ordeal. Children are affected, too. Parents need to talk to there kids too. Let them express how they felt,
it's therapeutic for them."
"They still are happy and have no worries which is kind of a vibe I'm absorbing when they're around"
"We develop bonding. This is the longest time we spent together"
"spending more time with them because they grow up too fast."

Implications for living with younger
children
Overbuying > underbuying
Households with younger children have needs that are both predictable and
unpredictable. Parents will naturally stock up on items that are necessities (milk,
juice, etc) But some children will throw tantrums if and when they don't get what
they want. So parents will likewise stock up on items their children might WANT, like
treats or favorite snacks. Providing parents with interesting recipes or activities for
children that will make use of their time will naturally be welcome.
Cleanliness is next to godliness
The ECQ has been an opportune time for parents to teach their children how to
properly wash hands, practice proper, and to keep their toys and materials clean
and tidy.
Parents to spend more time with children with a before-it's-too-late attitude
The work-from-home set up has been an eye-opener for those who spend most of
their time at work. They are rediscovering their children, their roles as parents, and
are relishing the time they are getting to spend with them. They now realize that
this set up is possible, and is a way for them to become more productive resulting
to a happier and more positive outlook.

LIVING
WITH OLDER
CHILDREN
44.6% are spending the ECQ with children aged 11 and above

"
Their biggest challenge is keeping their children
away from their gadgets...
"They want to eat something which isn't available."
And the fact that they are #AlwaysHungry
"Getting him to do chores. He's so busy with online class, projects and gaming. He has his own world."
"Millenials nowadays put much of their time tinkering with their gadgets."
"They have different needs than the younger ones. Mostly gadgets and internet"
"My children were sooooo much engaged with their gadgets.."
""Stubbornness, laziness, gadget addiction, nonstop eating..😩"
""They want to eat something which isn't available."
""More on movies and eat a lot than before, wake up very late"
""Their boredom and constant need for food"

Parents are concerned about imposing household
responsibilities and teaching "early adulting"
"Teach them new life skills like cooking, washing clothes."
So they make sure they do household chores
"You keep on reminding them again and again on doing their chores"
"I voice out my request for the chores needing to be helped at"
"Constantly send them reminders for them to learn new things & possibly earn money online"
"I talk to him about the importance of following the protocol regarding the lockdown and of taking care
of ourselves. I give him the proper services he need like cooking good food and helping him in his
grooming. I also encourage him to move his body quite more often, to exercise a little , that is. And share
some jokes from Facebook."

SPENDING MORE TIME
There might be some conflicts (like rivalries, fights),
but something unexpectedly good "comes out" of them
TEACHING AND LEARNING FROM EACH
OTHER
"I teach them skills. They can be useful at times"
"They are forced to interact with us 😂"
"Spending more time with them. Getting to do stuff
with them that you normally have time for only during
weekends" "We're able to teach him stuff like how to cook
scrambled eggs the way I do (since it's his
favorite). how to take care of the plants, make him
watch and appreciate good movies like Sound of
Music, Rocketman and the likes."
"Sharing current events and knowledge"
"More talking, sharing life's experiences, learning"
"Able to teach them and explain to them the
importance of following orders."
"Praying together as well as eating meals together
everyday"
"It taught them the value of staying at home, it also
saves money when they are at home."
"They are actually willing to help in the house if
just asked with care."
"Connect and be near with them"

Teens are socially connected now more than ever. They're bored
when they're not with their friends
They value their freedom to go to places, doing things without
being restricted.
They crave for life outside the home like eating out in their fave
restos, travelling to destination, and fueling their passions.
Teens are highly social so there are adjustments
to staying home vs. spending most of their time
outdoors
"Going to the mall, out of town, country"
"Going outside to buy something stuff for them and seeing their
friends going to school"
"Going out with their friends. And being able to do other things."

Implications for living with older children
The buzzword "adulting" is not just for millennials
Because being in the home 24/7 calls for more chores, parents get to teach their
children the value of learning a life skill. Although it may be as simple as doing the
laundry, these are simple steps taken towards their independence.
Laziness vs. Productivity, Connectivity vs Withdrawal: Balancing the effect of
technology
Technology in this situation is a lifesaver for older kids -- it's a way to receive news
and updates, to distract from the stress of the situation, and to connect with their
social circles. But from the perspective of parents, it is a distraction from
socialization within the family and responsibilities at home. Older kids would ‘live in
their own worlds’ and not seem to care about the household and its other
members. Learning to balance teens’ “me-time” with family time and their
responsibilities need to be learned at this stage. Brands and influencers that older
teens look up to may help in this situation by opening teens’ perspectives to being
more mindful about the crisis and how they can help their families get through it.
Conflict resolutions with older children/teens
Conflicts at home would most likely be because of misunderstandings between
teens and their parents. Offering possible ways to deal with these conflicts and
understanding the perspective of both parents and teens could be very useful for
maintaining a peaceful household during the lockdown.

LIVING
WITH SENIORS
47.92% of respondents live with Seniors

The biggest challenge in living with seniors is
worrying about their health.
“They’re super makulit and insists on going out when they’re more prone to the disease!”
This is followed by frustration because they keep
going out.
They want to be the ones going to the market despite their exposure to risks
Hard to manage their mindset about ECQ and about the virus. Seems they are daredevils on this matter.
Having to worry if they would get infected due to compromised health
making sure i disinfect myself & everything else so that my senior citizen is safe from the virus
Eto yung mga gustong gusto talaga lumabas, they keep making commotions about the govt how everyone’s being blind in this pandemic
I'm worried they would get infected of the virus. Paranoia of infecting them IF i'm a carrier.

Worth sharing is that a few mentioned seniors’ gullibility
in believing and sharing ‘fake news’.
Getting medicines and prescriptions is a challenge.
They have medications which means one of us has to go out to buy new ones
They cannot purchase maintenance medicines, cannot get new prescription to doctors.
Taking fake news seriously They share unverified information all the time on social media or chat.

They miss going out, because they’re used to going out -
to the malls,
to the grocery or market,
to the movies (seniors watch movies for free!),
to church,
to eat out,
to buy their medicines,
to visit their children/grandchildren/relatives/friends,
and to pay bills!
Seniors just want to go OUT.
Walking around the village, their amigas, church visits, etc.
Going to the market, pay bills. So worried about paying bills.
Driving to the clubhouse and meet his fellow retirees.

They value the quality time spent with seniors - it’s a time to
bond, to reminisce, to learn about each other.
The lockdown has given them the time to bond with their seniors,
to serve them and take care of them.
Seniors seem to be the drivers for being prayerful during this
crisis.
But despite the many challenges,
there are as many positive things
about living with Seniors.
When I go to him, more story telling way back before
I was able to help them in simples ways, likes cooking for
breakfast, lunch and dinner. Buy them medicines for maintenance
and clean the house
They give me words of wisdom more as well as keeping me closer to our lord. We always pray together.

Implications for Seniors
Seniors need to be convinced and encouraged to #StayHome.
While they may be seen as ‘makulit’ or ‘pasaway’, like us they are trying to deal with
the crisis the only way they know how. To put some normalcy back in their lives. And
we must understand that normalcy to them is going outl.
Provide activities that will further build their bond with the family.
Think of what’s important to them and build on that. If they like reminiscing about
the past, ask them to help you create a family tree. If they miss going to church,
setup a daily video streaming of Masses, even level It up by making them attend a
Mass by the Pope. If they miss going to the movies, do a ‘movie afternoon’ with
classics they love.
Delivery of basic services
The struggle is real when it comes to buying medicines and vitamins for seniors.
They usually just buy enough for 30 days because that’s what the senior citizens’
discount allows for. And they need monthly prescriptions for that. So healthcare
providers need to be able to deliver prescriptions virtually, and pharmacies should
be able to fulfil delivery of their medicines while crediting their senior discounts.

Lockdown
Predictions
#Halalan2022
Elections are still 2 years away. And Filipinos are known to have
short memories. But this lockdown has made people realize how
big the impact is of both the national and local governments and
its officials in their lives, especially in times of crisis. People will be
looking for new faces, mavericks, non-traditional politicians in the
coming elections. Government officials should thus have very
strong leadership skills that will enable them to guide their
constituents through any crisis, as well as respond to their needs.
PR is something they will need to master in order to effectively
promote their actions without appearing to be self-serving.
Health and Protection
Our concern for building immunity and protecting ourselves
from germs have been ultra-heightened with this crisis. Expect
the same need for anti-oxidant supplements, constant hand
sanitation, more conscious disinfection of homes, work places,
public spaces + wearing of masks in public especially among
those who are sick. While health care providers have started with
teleconsulting and home services, perhaps home visits can have
a comeback especially for seniors.
“Maybe the one thing I love the most is that many
filipinos are waking up and demanding a better
government. It's really eye-opening now that there's
nothing else to do but learn what's happening.”

Lockdown
Predictions
Prepping for the Future
With people now knowing what they need and what they
don’t have during the lockdown, there will be
preparations just in case another lockdown happens. An
extra chest freezer to store food, stocking up on
essentials like rice and canned goods, their own water
filtration at home and so on.
Fashion and Grooming
There will be a beeline for barbershops and salons for
the much needed haircuts, hair color, mani/pedi services.
There may also be a need for new clothes as people have
gained weight from eating and sleeping and being
inactive during the lockdown. Brands can do well by
providing them style look-books to look forward to after
the ECQ.
Self-Care, Self-Love
To reward oneself after all the anxiety during the
lockdown, people will look to improving their mental
health. It may be a visit to their therapist, or a massage at
the spa. They have discovered the value of having ME
time, and will be more conscious about having theirs.

Lockdown
Predictions
Mobile Banking + eCom
The lockdown has forced people to learn how to do
mobile banking - be it for sending payments to online
sellers, paying bills, or in donating to worthy causes.
Buying from e-commerce sites like Lazada or Shoppee,
or supermarkets like Landers/S&R has been a lifeline for
those who don’t have access to transportation, or who
are quarantined. Even vendors from wet markets have
gone onboard! Expect a rise in online transactions now
that people have gotten used to the convenience of
online payments and shopping. Brands should likewise
prepare for availability of their products online with
reliable delivery fulfillment.
Environmental Consciousness
People have noticed how good the lockdown has been
for the environment - cleaner air, clearer waters, bluer
skies, chirping birds. With this heightened consciousness
about the environment, people will start to become more
mindful about their contributions to waste and pollution.
And they may hold companies accountable to earth’s
preservation as well.

Post
Lockdown
Predictions
Saving for a Rainy Day
If there’s one thing that the lockdown has taught many,
it’s that there is value in saving money for emergencies.
Financial institutions should think of ways to make saving
easy and profitable to consumers so that more people
are encouraged to save. Or perhaps an insurance policy
to protect one’s salary in case of a layoff.
#InternetisLife
Now, more than ever, people see the value of a reliable
and stable internet connection. It’s how people can
continue working from home, stay connected with friends
all over the world, and even to continue religious
services. Providing homes with alternative means to
connect to the internet when their current providers fail is
a saviour, like prepaid mobile wifi routers. Increasing
