As others view the quarantine period as a waste or an epoch of sorrow and uncertainty- for some, it is the perfect time to step up and innovate.
There’s no denying that everyone is being crucified due to the inevitable upshots of COVID-19, however, they are given the choice whether to keep the nails stuck in their palms or to try removing it and undergoing clever actions to heal the wounds.
The web has inarguably became our friend during the lockdown and as you scroll up and down within social media sites you’ll be able to see some of your friends busy doing various personal pursuits; online selling, home gardening, raising funds for the people in need and alike.
Actions like these aren’t only keeping the aura light but it also helps in keeping public service going despite the limitations and while observing the proper precautionary measures mandated by the government. When asked why the sudden initiative to act, their reasons vary but sure-enough, all of them are aiming to be productive while on lockdown.
Below are some of the people we consider fitting for the commonly cracked term “Sana All” for not knuckling under the challenges of the pandemic and for choosing to be an epitome of hope and dedication.

Passion is the foundation of motivations.
Cheryl Panes Samuya, 44 year old plant-lover, finds planting therapeutic and a way to escape boredom. This former OFW from Cordova is now currently venturing into a new chapter of her life as she initiates to grow and sell plant during the quarantine period.
In the aim of lessening negativity, her hobby of planting has opened up the idea of opening a plant-selling business. Sales isn't consistent but it's the passion that makes this venture steadfast.
If you guys have time, you can come visit their place located at Barangay Katura, Poblacion, Cordova, Cebu.
Padayon Lang CORDOVANHON. Kayab pa CORDOVA.
