"Hey.. Have you heard about the recent news today?"
Random people talking outside in the house of Jun. Most of them are in panic because of this virus that's going on in their country.
"Yes, it is the best solution to stop the virus from spreading in our country."
Group of people are also answering some of their questions. Some of them agreed on this action made by the President but others didn't as well. After they saw and heard in the news that during this quarantine no people will go outside. But if you have a quarantine pass you can go outside. Especially when they'll buy foods and medicines. Only the important matters are allowed to ho outside. Then one of the people louder his voice because of disappointment.
"WHAT HAPPENS TO US IF WE DON'T HAVE WORK? DOES THE GOVERNMENT WILL PROVIDE US FOOD TO EAT?"
Jun jusy listening to the people talking outside their house. He wanted to speak up but I know they won't jusy listen. He just goes outside to buy something that will provide them foe a one week needs.
He is in the grocery store when many people are running towards. All of them going inside the store to buy as well. However most of the people are hoarding. They are in panic mind thay they must buy everything in order for them not tp go outside anymore.

Jun just keep on noding his head side by side. It's hard for him to see the old people can't buy anything because most of the people took it all and bought. He is lucky that he arrives early and he managed to buy the materials he needs. But one happening that breaks his heart by watching. An old lady didn't have the chance to get what she needs. That old lady is his neighbour and Jun knows she lives with his husband together. No one will be there for the time like this.
He walk towards that old lady. He ask her that maybe he can helps.
"Nay.. What do you want to buy?"
Jun shows his basket with some foods and important needs inside.
By the way "NAY" is a word that came from Philippines. The correct translation is mother but sometimes we will use it as a respect for an older woman.
The old woman looks so sad and replied to Jun.
"I just want to buy bread, rice, canned good and noodles. But when I arrived here, it's already empty."
Jun just smile towards that old woman an said.
"Don't worry Nay, we will divide this into two of what I have here in my basket. I'm living alone and I can handle small amounts of food."
The old woman cried, hug him and said.
"Thanks son."
Both of them goes home to prepare the quarantine for tomorrow. Jun accompany the old woman since they have the same path in going home.
