This book started from an earlier book project, Covid-19 in the Philippines: Personal Stories (Amazon Kindle, 2021). The editors collected from residents their stories in 2020, the first year of the pandemic (Then). This book reinterviews selected storytellers from the first book and asks them to share their experiences from 2020 to 2023 (Now). The book parades a list of storytellers from various walks of life, who were asked to pen down how their personalities have changed over the past four years of the pandemic. These stories are accompanied by photographs that curate the lives and experiences of the storytellers. Many of these photographs also showcase changes in Filipino culture and society.
