How to cope up with stress?




The COVID-19 pandemic has had a notable impact on people's lives. Many of us are confronted with difficulties that can be exhausting, challenging, and elicit strong emotions in both adults and children. 

During traumatic events such as mass shootings, natural disasters, or pandemics, it is natural to experience stress, anxiety, grief, and worry. 

The question is how are you going to overcome such situation?

People of General Santos first feature for 'Your Story Matters' is Sanie Moda, 27 years old and is working as a security guard at UFDPC. Because of pandemic and the using of face mask, he suffered from skin allergy for 1 year that crashed his self confidence. We all have different ways of coping up with stress. As for Mr. Sanie, he does fishing for fun to relieve stress from the trauma of being sick for almost a year. He believes that anything is possible if you have faith in God. And if we ever overcome the hardships that life throw us, we can overcome everything.


"Faith is unseen but felt, faith is strength when we feel we have none, faith is hope when all seem lost."


"Keep the faith, hold on.

Things will get better.

It might be stormy now,

But it can't rain forever."

Learnings Behind Success

  How do you define success?    Does having luxurious and expensive jewellery means success? Or living in a mansion and eating more than three times a day means success? Do you think you're successful?      The second featured story in People of General Santos uncovers the lessons behind sir Jerome Atayoc's success.

Zamboanga's Best

 In 2013, the city of Zamboanga went on a war between military troops and rebel fighters. Over a thousand locals were hurt and displaced. Homes were destroyed by fire. Schools and businesses were shut down. But despite the chaotic situation, the people of Zamboanga were able to stand up and bounce back. They were able to maintain the colorful land, culture, tradition, and food. One of the unique delicacies in Zamboanga is the knickerbocker. The knickerbocker is a localised version of the famous Filipino dessert – halo-halo. But the difference is, it is made of fresh fruits, and it is healthier.
