Narito ang 4 tips para matulungan kang maghanda. Marami tayong pagsubok na hinarap nung nagsimula ang COVID-19 pandemic. Aminin nating napangunahan tayo ng takot dahil sa bagong virus at kung paano natin mapoprotektahan ang ating pamilya. Ganun kahalaga ang pamilya para sa ating mga Pinoy. Araw-araw pumapasok na sa isip natin: “Paano kung magkasakit ang anak ko o ang mga mahal ko sa buhay?” Sa sobrang pag-aalala natin sa kanila, minsan napapabayaan na rin natin ang sarili natin. Kaya naman araw-araw nating pinagdarasal na sana’y walang magkasakit sa ating pamilya dahil mas mahal ang magkasakit ngayon, lalo na kung wala tayong naitatagong pera para dito.  Nung nagkaroon naman ng surge o pagsipa muli ang mga COVID-19 cases at bumalik ang mahigpit na lockdown sa Metro Manila, bumalik nanaman ang takot.

SUCCESS never came easy for a model, actress, and Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, but her determination paid off as she became an inspiration for many when it comes to working hard, making the right choices, and choosing the right partners. Pia’s career began when she joined the modeling and showbiz industry.

I never turned down a role because I needed it. I needed the job so that I could support my family. As long as I was fit for it and it didn’t...
