Barangay Food Supply 'RACION' during ECQ

Howmart, Baesa, QC Racion/Photo by Marivic Pacris

During the lock-down, our government was kind enough to delegate each barangay to extend immediate help to each household. This help came as rice supply, canned goods like Sardines (others got corned beef even), noodles, biscuits, coffee or milk, diapers, and even alchohol.

A lot of politicians, famous people and some of my rich friends came-out in the open to help; giving-out bags of groceries. What a Christian!

How many waves of rice, canned goods and other food supply did you receive during the ECQ?

Not every household was ready with this stored supply for emergency such as this. No one was ready for Covid-19. In our church, we are taught to always ready 72-Hour kit. This kit composes of emergency supplies. I am grateful to have this inspired instruction from our church.

Every household were panicking when Covid-19 outbreak started. People had panic buying of groceries everywhere. I was one of those. Who would not? As a mommy and single parent living with a senior (my mom) and my young daughter, our household should be ready.

Aside from our personal effort, our barangay was kind enough to provide 'racion' In our barangay - San Isidro, Eastwood Subdivision, our barangay kagawad Clarisse Labez, who happened to be our neighbor, was active helping out with the distribution of this 'ayuda' We got until 3rd wave of this assistance. The assistance came in 5 kilos of rice and 555 Sardines. In other barangay and cities, like my friends, got even more.

Our first rice was ok. The second rice had a fowl smell. We tried washing it well even sifting it then mixed it with other good smelling rice. Upon cooking, we put in pandan. We haven't consumed it. Now planning to give it away. The third rice was good. It was yummy to eat. We didn't get to eat the sardines since we bought some prior to the distribution.

I was able to also receive assistance from my church mate who's really well off in life. He gave us a tray of eggs. Chesca love eggs.

I would like to know how many waves of help did your household get? Were you satisfied?



How to Become a TOP Google Photographer

What a SURPRISE!!! I got this email from Google.  Something that made me smile ears-to-ears and gave a sense of accomplishment.  I'm loving this lifestyle!  Ask me HOW I do it.  

I love photography.  Most people who know me tell me I have the skill - something I got from my mom.  I guess it's inborn.  I don't have a good camera except a Samsung J7 cellphone. So mine is Photography.  A cheap way of doing what I love.  Maybe soon, I will have a means to buy a DSLR camera.  My long time wish list.

At work I tried joining photography contests.  I keep an Instagram account - something I believe best way to showcase good photos.  Above all, I post my photos in Google Map.  Ever since I used gmail, my android phone has been synched to Google for added storage - Drive.  Plus even if I delete my photos on my phone, it's saved in Google Drive.  

My fascination of posting in Google Map started from a simple curiosity three years ago because I keep receiving pop-ups about "Reviews".  I tried doing it and became a lifestyle.  Every where I go, Google will notify me if I have already sent in my review.  Being heard or read this way must be exciting.  On the other hand, as a travel/mommy lifestyle blogger, I believe this way I can help people.  It's giving me a sense of 'bayanihan' or charity. I love helping-out.

After years passed by, this good news came - I'm a TOP Google Photographer.  That means I got 1M Views of my photos.  Wow!! Truly amazed.  This is my first photography acknowledgement and it came from one of the most prestigious online browser.  I'm truly honored.
