H1N1 Case Confirmed!

June 17.
Parang kahapon lang everything are all rumors. Pero this time, it's FOR REAL.

There's a confirmed case of H1N1 in Saint Mary's College of Meycauayan.

Knowing about this made me feel so blessed. Kasi hindi galing sa High School Department yung kaso (where I belong). Pero ang masama, from the Elementary yung tinamaan ng virus. And according to my classmate Rikki, classmate ng lil bro niya yung batang yun (Rikki's brother, Kristian, belongs to Grade 6-Pearl). Nag-alala ako para kay Chan-Chan (Kristian) kasi he's got possible chances of being infected of the virus also. Good thing that student is on self-quarantine, to prevent him from passing on the virus to other people.

Despite the fact na may H1N1 na yung isang estudyante ng ESMA, the school's administration decided to still push through with the classes. And I admire them for that. Nakita ko yung logic nilang Why suspend classes? Only one out of the thousands of the studentd got infected, and it doesn't entitle the whole school to suffer the consequences of the classes' suspension JUST BECAUSE OF ONLY ONE CONFIRMED CASE.

And as I see it, they made the right decision. Di tulad ng ibang school and universities, may lagnatin lang ng konti suspension na agad. They became so paranoid, kaya sa kaiiwas nila sa H1N1 eh LALONG kumalat yung virus sa school nila.

I'm not questioning the wisdom and authority of those high-calibre universities na nag-suspend ng classes just beacause of one or two cases of H1N1. My only point is, they should have considered those civilians who may suffer.. Kasi, as the classes will resume, MAS MARAMING ESTUDYANTE yung mahihirapang maghabol sa lessons compared to those VERY LITTLE NUMBER of infected persons.

ESMA, I salute you. dahil isinapalaran n'yo yung buong school FOR THE SAKE OF THE WELFARE OF THE MARIAN STUDENTS. You really did the right decision, kasi yung Grade 6 student na yun ang UNA AT HULING kaso ng H1N1 sa SMCM.

Congrats ESMA!
