Eventologist Mizken Tirol Andan is spending time at home with family amid the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) imposed due to the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
She has been trying to find other ways to express herself these days. It turns out the former TV child star is a savvy veteran when it comes to social media.
With the coronavirus situation keeping her at home, Mizken is using TikTok as another way to connect with friends and fans.
Regil "Pipay" Gucor is also getting creative during this COVID-19 stay at home order. She is using TikTok to entertain her friends.
"I've been trying to respect the ECQ imposed by our leaders as much as possible so I haven't had the chance to go outside to enjoy summer," she said.
Instead, she's been using TikTok to look inside herself and express her creativity, and she suggests we all do the same.
Another TikToker is former Miss Bohol Maria Vanessa Cadorna-Aumentado, wife of Bohol Second District Rep. Erico Aristotle Aumentado.
At first, she was a little uncomfortable but eventually enjoying to try and come up with more creative ideas.
She even convinced her hubby, Rep. Aris, to dance! And the response has been surprisingly good that people asked for more entertaining videos.
"Pa good vibes lang," she captioned one of her videos showing her dancing skills.
Vanessa also said it is also a stress reliever after packing relief goods for frontliners and constituents in the second district.
Tagbilaran City Mayor Baba Yap and Dauis Mayor Marietta Sumaylo are also TikTokers. In one of his videos, Mayor Baba is gently cuddling his baby for a sleep. The father and daughter bonding is too cute!
Our friends in the media are also TikTokers. Ern Pahayahay and Helen Castaño are showing their funny sides.
Affected by the pandemic, it’s understandable that many people are turning to TikTok to share their quarantine experiences, fears, questions and prayers to ease their anxious minds and stay entertained during the crisis.
The social media says a lot about people's daily lives and their ability to find bright spots and humor in a dark time.
TikTok will change the way our social media works— even if you’re avoiding it.
