| Nick Gumanit, Erika Ahern and Mark Brandon Philipps are busy during these unprecedented times. |
As the lockdown forces many sectors to work from home, what are models up to these days? VRS asked some of the models of The Art Noueveau (TAN) how they’re keeping busy during these unprecedented times.
How does their day start and how does it end?
"If I'm not lazy enough I work out and study," said Nick Gumanit, 19, 2nd runner-up in Sandugo Festival King 2019, who is stranded in Cebu City.
" I have a healthy breakfast. I end my day watching a movie or an episode of one of my favorite series," said 17-year-old model and Vlogger Mark Brandon Philipps.
"I walk outside with my dog and I work out," said fellow model and Vlogger Erika Ahern, 16, who hails from Ubay town.
They shared that social media has saved the days by offering sources of inspiration, creativity and a much-needed break from the monotony of lockdown.
Aside from your barber (wink), what do you miss most about the “outside” world?
Nick: Playing basketball and having a good time with friends.
Mark: Hanging out with my friends and going to the beach.
Erika: What I miss is going out with my frnds and going to the beach.
How do you protect yourself from COVID-19?
Nick: I follow the law or rules of our government like staying at home.
Mark: I wash my hands and I avoid touching my face.
Erika: I use alcohol to disinfect myself and I wear mask every time I go out.
How do you envision post-COVID life?
Nick: The pandemic creates a big impact to me. I have learned to value everything that I have. I've realized that I'm blessed enough, and I'm grateful for the gift of life. And I'm so thankful for the people who never fail to support me. It's more than a billion peso reward.
Mark: I think most of the people are at home.
Erika: For me, a lot of people are still scared to go out.
