Adversaries on Covid-19 Set Forth an Argument Onward To Educational Endeavor: Resulting To Develop a Modular Concept in the Learning Process

The study observed on how COVID-19 disturbed the universe, its detrimental factors to detriment the constituents in particular to educational endeavor, the outcomes to teachers and to the learners. Yet, on the contrary this is also an opportune to extend teaching stratification whom a concluding scenarios that sometimes attending classes in the classrooms were insignificant not unless for formative assessment, 21 pedagogues more probably applicable whereby lectures can be done thru social media (blogs, group chats, emails). The study conveyed also that research-output-based teaching methods are more desirable as if students would be taught on how to be a writer and a researcher. However, this COVID-19 reciprocally demean traditional maneuvers hence attendance literally are not necessary, this is a resolution of vanishing the old methods of teaching but on the other hand modular concept has led to resolve the issue. This COVID-19 definitely an uprising of a new beginning onward to educational teaching stratification but subsequently this is also threatening students of which their only avenue to attain the learning process is going to internet café where they are exposed, and prohibited for safety precautions. This disease skeptically made excuses for those who were non-focus, malingered individual either to their studies or duty, this even defying one’s authority for a reason of security, a banishment of those known with infected disease, and economically the Local Government Unit (LGU) were suppressive.


Introduction
In the midst of crisis one's judgments sometime were greedily twisted, their principles, desires, commitment are uncertain. Everyone has his/her reasons, opinions, and arguments to elucidate for his own satisfaction or for the common good, their indifferences showcase, other may incline or decline to believe and pathetically breaking one's heart turning this simple misunderstanding to a debate but still at the end everyone are reunited, contributed their patriotic efforts, time, assistance for patriotism and nationalism.

Statement of the Problem
Duddu (2020) on his report emphasized that the Philippines is one of among the high-risk countries from the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, a disease originated from China, of which there were over 80 percent of cases and deaths. This scenario has led the Philippines government announced lock-down of Metro Manila and is mulling over more localized lock-downs.
Although, Fumento (2020) on his statement expound that Worldwide, there have been about 3,400 coronavirus deaths, out of about 100,000 identified cases. Flu, by comparison, grimly reaps about 291,000 to 646,000 annually, but its cases peaked and began declining more than a month ago, according to data presented by the Canadian epidemiologist who spearheaded the World Health Organization's (WHO) coronavirus mission to China. This even forecast that out of 200 new cases reported daily, down from a peak of 4,000 this pattern subsequently same of some extent countries in what's called Farr's Law, first formulated in 1840 and ignored in every epidemic hysteria since, the law states that epidemics tend to rise and fall in a roughly symmetrical pattern or bell-shaped curve. AIDS, SARS, Ebola -they all followed that pattern. So does seasonal flu each year. Clearly, flu is vastly more contagious than the new coronavirus, as the WHO has noted. Apparently, from the Journal of the American Medical Association it is reported that Chinese government analyzed that Corvid-19 death ratio, showcase that for age 40's accumulated 0.2 percent death, 14.8 percent above 80's, and found zero deaths worldwide among children with ages 9 and below. As it is also enlightened that Philippines climatic nature is more impervious compared to other affected countries, because it hot and humid, so far there were no confirmed cases of internal transmission Yet, there are cases that patients with travel history abroad were confirmed affected with the said disease.
However, the Department of Health (DOH) has accumulated reports that there were five (5)  Chinese nationals account for the majority of the tourist population visiting the country as trade and cultural relations have increased between the two countries in the recent past.
Lock-down of affected areas The Philippines government started announcing local lock-downs (home quarantine) following the increase in global coronavirus cases. The entire Luzon Island is locked-down affecting more than 50 million people. Metro Manila lock-down was announced on 12 March and will continue until 14 April, while similar quarantine measures are expected in Bohol and Cainta provinces. Davao City has imposed travel restrictions. Quarantining (lock-down) will be imposed in the Philippines barangays, municipalities/cities and provinces if at least two COVID-19 coronavirus cases are recorded in two different households in the respective locations. Quezon City declared a state of calamity due to coronavirus on 13 March, which means that the city can access Quick Response Fund to combat the outbreak.
What Metro Manila lock-down means for residents and visitors. During the lock-down, domestic transportation of all modes including land, air, and sea are suspended.
Preventive measures by the Philippines government The Philippines government is taking several steps to control the spread of the virus, including travel restrictions, closure of schools and colleges, as well as training schools of the Philippines National Police.
Educational institutes in the country are announced to be closed from 09 March to 15 March, whereas in Metro Manila the classes will be suspended until 12 April. Stringent social distancing measures will be in place in the National Capital Region (NCR) for 30 days from 15 March.
The government announced earlier on 2 February 2020 that all persons except Filipino citizens and permanent resident visa holders were temporarily barred from entering the country. A temporary ban on Filipinos from travelling to China or its special administrative region was also imposed. Mandatory 14-day quarantine for Filipinos returning to from China or its special administrative region was announced. Further, visa upon arrival for Chinese nationals has been temporarily suspended.
Coronavirus in the Philippines: Measures at airports The Philippines Government announced travel restrictions to and from China, Hong Kong, and Macau to minimize the spread. It also banned the entry of passengers from the three countries.
Airlines cancelled flights from the Philippines to China resulting in stranding. Face masks shortage -importing from India and Thailand.
The Philippines witnessed a surge in demand for face masks as fears over the coronavirus infection increased, despite assurance from the government that there is no need to wear face masks yet. The government reiterated that healthcare workers and patients with symptoms of the disease should be given priority for masks.
The Philippines International Trading Corporation (PITC), meanwhile, identified two face mask suppliers from India and Thailand to meet the demand for face masks.
The suppliers are expected to take more than 30 days to supply the masks. The India-based supplier is expected to supply one million units, while the exact number of face masks that the Thailand-based supplier can supply is yet to be determined. The masks will be imported either by the DOH or the PITC.
Coronavirus outbreak: Impact on the Philippines Impact on the economy Philippines witnessed a slower economic growth in the first half of 2019, compared to 2018. The country saw a sustained economic growth of 6.3% between 2010 and 2018, while the growth slowed down to 5.5% in H2 2019. The World Bank estimates Philippines to witness full-year 2019 economic growth of 5.8%. The ongoing coronavirus impact is expected to result in a subdued growth for the economy in 2020. China is Philippines' top trading partner accounting for 18.8% of total trade, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). In November 2019, 22.9% of Philippines' exports were to China, the biggest importer for the country.
Philippines imports account for approximately 20% of goods from China followed by Korea and Japan at 10% each. The Central Bank of the Philippines (BSP) noted that the coronavirus outbreak could have a major impact on Philippine economy over the next few months. Ruben Carlo Asuncion, chief economist for Union Bank of the Philippines, noted that the coronavirus outbreak could cost the Philippine economy $600m or 0.8% of economic growth if it lasts for six months, as quoted by CNN Philippines.

Fiscal measures to contain the coronavirus impact
The central bank also announced its decision to reduce interest rate on reverse repurchase (RRP) facility by 25 basis points to 3.75% on 06 February 2020. The interest rate on overnight lending and deposit facilities was also cut to 4.25% and 3.25%, respectively. The projected gross domestic growth rate of 6.5%-7.5% for 2020, however, has not been revised.
Impact on tourism Tourism industry is a major contributor, accounting for 12.7% of the Philippine economy in 2018, according to data from the Philippines Statistics Authority. More than seven million foreign tourists visited the country during the first ten months of 2019. Chinese tourists account for majority of Philippines' tourist population. During the first ten months of 2019, a total of 1.49 million Chinese tourists visited the Philippines, according to the Department of Tourism (DOT). Philippine tourism officials expected to attract four million Chinese tourists by 2022, before the outbreak happened. The tourism industry, however, is expected to witness a major impact as the country closed its borders with China and other countries due to the coronavirus infection, Philippine Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez noted. Dominguez added that the exact economic impact of the outbreak is too early to be estimated but remained optimistic that the country can sustain its economic growth.

Adversaries on Covid-19
In December 2019, an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China and spread across China and beyond. On February 12, 2020, WHO officially named the disease caused by the novel coronavirus as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Since most COVID-19 infected patients were diagnosed with pneumonia and characteristic Computed Tomography (CT) imaging patterns, radiological examinations have become vital in early diagnosis and assessment of disease course. To date, CT findings have been recommended as major evidence for clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 in Hubei, China. This review focuses on the etiology, epidemiology, and clinical symptoms of COVID-19, while highlighting the role of chest CT in prevention and disease control (Zu, et.al, 2020); (Chen, et.al, 2020); (Fang, et.al, 2020) On the contrary a group public health professional scientists and medical professionals of China, in particular, have who have closely followed the emergence of 2019 novel coronavirus disease  and are deeply concerned about its impact on global health and wellbeing, worked diligently and effectively to rapidly identify the pathogen behind this outbreak, put in place significant measures to reduce its impact, who continue to save lives and protect global health during the challenge of the COVID-19 outbreak with their counterparts in the forefront, against this new viral threat. They also emphasized that COVD-19 threatened by rumors and misinformation around its origins, and they urged that everyone should stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin but based on analytical theories Scientists from multiple countries have published and analyzed genomes of the causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and they overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife, as have so many other emerging pathogens. This is further supported by a letter from the presidents of the US National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine and by the scientific communities they represent. Conspiracy theories do nothing but create fear, rumors, and prejudice that jeopardize our global collaboration in the fight against this virus (Calisher, et.al, 2020); (Heymann & Shindo, 2020); (Bernheim, 2020); (Shi, 2020).
In summary, this short review of papers indicates that students would be interested in studying topics around extreme natural events when taught via pedagogies involving inquiry-based practices (critical, practical and action oriented). Both the natural and human processes need to be considered equally, with looting, community cooperation, and involvement being critical in the social education component of the human side of an extreme natural event. The COVID-19 issue is not a purely epidemiological phenomenon. It is also a social phenomenon and education for crises such as this should include teaching about the need for empathy. The example of the person who suffered a heart attack where none of the bystanders offered any help is testament to the need for more empathy. Attitudes and values show a distance-decay effect, which will impact teaching efforts. However, with an event like the COVID-19 crossing borders in an increasingly mobile world, the efforts in education may be challenged in other ways. Misconceptions can be linked to misinformation at times of extreme natural events, and reveal suppressed xenophobic beliefs. Globalization is accelerating the need for both school and general public education around extreme natural events, and education needs to include aspects of social learning. We need to teach students and the general public that, in times of crisis, people's abilities are compromised, and we say and do things we would not normally say or do. We need to be aware of this and be equipped to perform under these times of uncertainty and pressure. Further study is needed to develop a new approach and to determine the effects of new pedagogical methods with respect to social learning around extreme natural events. International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education (IRGEE) looks forward to more research that will help us better understand the issues in curriculum and instruction for hazard and crisis education. It is a great challenge for geography and environmental education to develop and contribute to enhancing social media use awareness by taking into account the aforementioned aspects (Kidman & Chang, 2020).
The disease has also been exported to other countries, including the Philippines, but the level of spread is still under control (as of 08 February 2020). To describe and predict the dynamics of the disease, several preliminary mathematical models are formulated by various international study groups. Here, the insights that can be drawn from these models are discussed, especially as inputs for designing strategies to control the epidemics. Proposed model-based strategies on how to prevent the spread of the disease in local setting, such as during large social gatherings, are also presented. The model shows that the exposure time is a significant factor in spreading the disease. With a basic reproduction number equal to 2, and 14-day infectious period, an infected person staying more than 9 hours in the event could infect other people. Assuming the exposure time is 18 hours, the model recommends that attendees of the social gathering should have a protection with more than 70 percent effectiveness (Rabajante, 2020).

Impact of COVID-19 to Teachers-Students in the Learning Process
This Covid-19 has ruined the Surigao State College of Technology (SSCT) educational schemes, by de jure the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) proclaimed to suspend classes for safety purposes The CHED has release an advisory ordering all the Presidents of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) that the State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) must discuss measures to the undertaken with their respective Boards of Regents (BOT) and inform the CHED regional office of such activities (Signed by) Chairman J. PROSPERO E. DE VERA, DPA. This is in lieu to His Excellency President Rodrigo Roa Duterte Proclamation No. 922 series of 2020, Consonant, the SUCs President of SSCT has progressively ordered that all faculty should prepared a module; created an skeletal team as work force; for humanitarian reasons allows Job orders and Guest lectures to continually in the service; nondesignated teachers were allowed to work at home and prepared logbook on their daily time records (DTR).

Research Types and Sampling Method
This is a phenomenal research looking for an avenue to hold proper citation and guidance against the conflicting interest of everyone's desires, opinions, arguments and commitment onward to Covid-19 implications, and resilience actions of government officials, educators and all parties concerns forward to education. Study is more on observation, dependent on previous related data and studies, this is plain descriptive and logical.

Data Collection Procedures
Gathering of data is simply done conveniently thru downloading of previous literatures from social media-reports (goggle websites), articles, decrees, memos, orders. Logical interpretations were rested under discussion subsection at the author's level of perspective if in case of doubts and critiques, this study profoundly restful.

Research Instrument
Observation has been employed on this study wherein the public has been observed keenly by the author on how the environment influenced to eradicate the norms or the system of public governance. In this study the researcher interacts with people in everyday life while collecting information, investigating the enormously rich, complex, conflictual, problematic, and diverse experiences, thoughts, feelings, and activities on COvid-19. This method emerged with the professionalization of anthropology and sociology where it gradually was formalized and later spread to a full range of human studies fields. Its practice nevertheless remains artful, requiring creative decision making about problems and questions to be studied, appropriate settings and situations for gathering information, the performance of membership roles, establishing and sustaining trusting relationships, ethics, values, and politics, as well as record making, data analysis and interpretation, and reporting results (Jorgensen, 2015).
Structurally, there is no instrument used but the outcomes would reveals either to showcase the positive and negative results of the reigning verdict invoked by the administrator and the policy-makers.

Findings and Discussions
This country is under authoritarian policy though, democratic in governance. Everyone government role's over the constitutional legitimacy wherein no one is allowed to do his own action without following mandates from the written constitution. But this study does not tended to showcase about the political issue therein of the country rather this study focus only to answers questions on: first, What are the arguments of educators about Covid-19 in the learning process?; and second, How Surigao State College of Technology managed this crisis on Covid-19 in order to sustain the learning process?
Below are the revelations, which serve to be the findings which serves to answers those questions enumerated above: Arguments of educators about Covid-19 in the learning process CHED-COVID-19 ADVISORY NO. 3 In response to the directive of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte through Proclamation No. 922 series of 2020, the commission has release an advisory ordering all the Presidents of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) that the State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) must discuss measures to the undertaken with their respective Boards of Regents (BOT) and inform the CHED regional office of such activities (Signed by) Chairman J. PROSPERO E. DE VERA, DPA. This advisory aspired the author to create his own desired module as an output (See Appendix A).

Conclusion
The Philippines is under authoritarian policy though, democratic in governance, governance roles over the constitutional legitimacy wherein no one is allowed to do his own action without following mandates from the written constitution. But this study does not tended to showcase about the political issue therein of the country rather this study focus only to answers questions on: first, What are the arguments of educators about Covid-19 in the learning process?; and second, How Surigao State College of Technology managed this crisis on Covid-19 in order to sustain the learning process? Based on findings raised questions (1 and 2) were absolutely satisfied, results has been displayed, and discussed yet SSCT has contemplated their desire by preparing module to attain the tended learning process but this possibly negated because the reality condemn any activities therein that threatened the safety of the students such that social media and any related events.

APPENDIX -A GE RIZAL LEARNING MODULE (Final Coverage) EDILMAR P. MASUHAY Assistant Professor I SSCT -Mainit Campus Introduction Statement:
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) released advisory relative to COVID-19 of which the State universities and colleges (SUCs) has been mandated to undertake measures ensuring the safety of the students, faculty, staff and administration. Thus, Surigao State College of Technology (SSSCT) has responded and reciprocally demean traditional maneuvers hence attendance literally are not necessary, this is a resolution of vanishing the old methods of teaching, on the other hand modular concept has led to resolve the issue. This COVID-19 definitely an uprising of a new beginning onward to educational teaching stratification but subsequently this is also threatening students of which their venue to attain the learning process is thru social media of which majority of the students avenues is going to public places where internet café is available where they are exposed, and prohibited for safety precautions (Signed by J. Prospero E. De Vera III, DPA).

"While social media are the easiest mediums to deliver information in this digital age using the latest on-hand technologies, the use of the platform also opens one's identity to the world wide web, making young learners exposed to different cyber threats," he said. Even though social media may be considered the "brightest innovation of this era," Pascua urged educators to "look at the bigger picture, where the reality is that social media in itself is not the proper medium for schools to use, especially in connection [with] the delivery of lessons especially since there are many options specifically designed for educational use." Given this, DepEd noted that there are existing open-source Learning Management Systems (LMS) that schools can use to support the e-learning requirements of an institution. DepEd also introduced the use of open educational resources (OER) to promote "equitable and quality education" to all Filipino learners. OERs refer to free and/or available educational materials that come with the permission for anyone to use, modify or share (Merlina Hernando-Malipot, 2020). By facts, it is adherence to its reality that social media would possibly making young learners exposed to different cyber threats besides this actions may directly contradicting for the safety against the disease hence, its natural phenomena foretells that majority of the students could didn't have their own access and possibly their avenues is going to the public places where internet is available.
UNICEF Philippines statement on COVID-19 MANILA, 13 March 2020 -Following President Rodrigo Duterte's declaration placing Metro Manila under lockdown from 15 March 2020 to 14 April 2020, UNICEF Philippines remains steadfast in working with the Philippine Government and partners to stop the transmission of the virus and to keep children and their families safe. UNICEF Philippines has been fully supporting the Government's emergency response as early as the first few cases of COVID-19 were identified in the country. Just recently, we provided tents to the Department of Health (DOH) to support the management of COVID-19 cases requiring hospital care. DOH is further strengthening its capacity in hospital preparedness, rapid response, risk communication, and information dissemination with full support from UNICEF Philippines. UNICEF is working with DOH to take appropriate measures for the continuous delivery of other essential public health services including access to water, sanitation and hygiene, mental health and psychosocial support, and nutrition. "We are intent on staying on the ground working to mitigate impact on children and their families including pushing back against stigma associated with vulnerable groups," said Wigdan Madani, UNICEF's Chief of Health & Nutrition, "and we remain concerned by related control measures including school closures, the burden on local health systems for the delivery of primary care, protection risks, and economic pressures felt by families." With the suspension of classes in all levels within Metro Manila and in selected LGUs until 12 April 2020, UNICEF Philippines encourages schools to plan continuity for learning. We urge communities, caregivers, and parents to stay informed about COVID-19 through trusted sources like the DOH, local government units, WHO, and UNICEF to recognize symptoms, coordinate with schools to support safety efforts, and help children cope with the stress caused by the current situation. Characterizing COVID-19 as a pandemic is not an indication that the virus has become deadlier. Rather, it is an acknowledgement of the disease's geographical spread. Let's continue to prepare and respond to the epidemic to protect children and families in the Philippines (Gimeno, 2020).
This scenario has made the country panic, and even lockdown, controlling the economic activities some geographical places just to ensure the populace free from Covid-19 infection, factual evidence demonstrated below: CHED tells affected schools to move graduation dates amid COVID-19 scare MANILA-The Commission on Higher Education on Saturday released a set of guidelines for social distancing and hygiene, as the Philippines braced for the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 . In an advisory issued Saturday, March 14, the CHED said educational institutions in Metro Manila, where a region-wide quarantine is now in effect, shall "abide by the directives of the Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) in the imposition of general and enhanced community quarantine in their respective jurisdictions." One directive is the suspension of classes on all levels. Metro Manila schools using the old academic calendar, or schools ending their academic years in March or April, are required to move or cancel their graduation ceremonies, citing the restriction on mass gatherings mandated by the Inter-agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases. Schools, which have shifted their academic calendar to June or July, do not need to postpone graduation ceremonies. However, their semesters "may need to adjust as needed" to compensate for the month-long class suspensions. Employees of educational institutions are also advised to practice social distancing. Students who can't go to school for 30 days due to the quarantine should not be evicted from class, the CHED added. Local government units could suspend classes as long as "measures and arrangements are in place to allow the students to continue fulfilling their requirements." The CHED also urged schools outside Metro Manila to develop contingency plans, sanitize their facilities, and discourage mass gatherings. It also suggested that plans to go to overseas internship programs, along with participation in contests outside, should be suspended. It likewise urged school administrators to practice "preventive measures such as proper hand hygiene, cough etiquette, and social distancing" (News, n.d.).
This situation is merely applicable to all SUCs not only in Metro Manila, see order of suspensions in Diliman University Philippines and City mayor ordinance, for exhibited purposes, below:  Classes, both residential and online and alternative learning activities in the UP System (except the UP Open University) are suspended until 14 April 2020 while the University assesses the situation and decides on how best to facilitate learning and manage academic requirements in the time of COVID-19 (UP Diliman -University of the Philippines, n.d.);  BACOLOD CITY -Mayor Evelio Leonardia has issued an executive order (EO) suspending the graduation and moving-up ceremonies in all levels of public and private schools here until further notice due to the threat of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
CHED urges schools to prepare for possible coronavirus 'community-level transmission' MANILA, Philippines -The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) called on state universities and colleges to prepare for possible community-level transmission of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. In a memorandum order released on Wednesday, March 10, CHED chairman Prospero de Vera III reiterated that schools should have protocols in place to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus within the campus in coordination with the Department of Health. These include creating screening procedures for symptomatic students, faculty, staff and administrators; preparing health clinics to accommodate and isolate patients potentially infected with the novel coronavirus; and performing decontamination and disinfection of buildings in schools. (READ: DepEd says proceeding with graduation ceremony 'up to school's discretion'). President Rodrigo Duterte suspended classes in all levels in Metro Manila from March 10 to 14 following the spike of confirmed cases in the Philippines. Schools are advised to coordinate with their affiliated training establishments for any adjustment on training hours; and consider alternative modes for on-the-job training, practicum and internships. (READ: How Metro schools continue lessons amid coronavirus threat). But based on the assessment in their areas, all schools should be flexible in adjusting the academic calendar, foregoing other curricular activities for the semester and exercising discretion to possibly postpone graduation ceremonies (CHED urges schools to prepare for possible coronavirus 'community-level transmission,' n.d.).
This argumentation has been confusing for teacher, students and even by the policy-makers hence crafted statement below were simplified that this Covid-19 had impacted either ruined the judgment of our educators and the learners:
