When one of Jaton Zulueta’s young students tested positive for COVID-19 in early April, his teachers at AHA! Learning Center in Tondo immediately sent the student’s family a small bag of groceries and medicine. At the center, the child was known to have a temper, often acting out in the classroom. Returning to the online after school program upon recovering, he became one of the more behaved students. Always present, highly participative, and among the first to submit his homework. Struck by the transformation Zulueta asked the young boy what had changed, “Hindi niyo po kami naiwan, at naramdaman naming yung inyong pagmamahal.”
