Strict parents think COVID is a deadly supervirus and that the minute I take off my mask, I'll catch it (even though rn, we're at the lowest amount of COVID cases and I got vaccinated so the chances of me getting COVID is pretty low), can't go to school without one because school doesn't allow it, basically because I'm not allowed to or else ppl would get mad. But honestly, yeah, the Philippines is loosening up a bit on wearing masks and it's not really spreading as much as it was in 2020 and 2021, so I don't really think it's that necessary.
