scenario, the sea will coincide. Why. It is okay before COVID, we can
do anything. When it lockdown every Sunday we can’t roam around to
sell. We are affected. We can’t go fishing during Saturday because on
Sunday we can’t sell because its against the rules. There are police
officers there.)
Lack of Family bonding due to pandemic.
Finally, as mandated by IATF some recreational activities are suspended
(Zerrudo, 2020). Those with 21 years below and 60 years old above are not allowed to
go outside their homes except for important purposes. Thus, stopping the fisherfolks
family to bond outside their homes and therefore accepts the new normal situations and
follow the health protocol.
And, one of the participants in K I I
revealed and described his
experience:
“Parehas anang dili na ka bonding sa gawas sir kay tungod sa
pandemic. Kanang dili na kalakaw maskin asa kay tungod sa ing-ana
na mga sitwasyon. Dili na pud ka kasimba sir kay dili man pwede ang
bata. Di pareha sa una sir na pwede bitbiton ang baby maski baby pa
siya”
(The same as we can’t bond outside sir because of pandemic. We cannot go
anywhere because of that situation. We can’t go to church because kids are
not allowed. Not like before that we can bring our baby even they are still a
baby.)
