Pinoy netizens are back on Twitter today to share with the world how the COVID-19 pandemic crisis has taught them to go back to the basics, sending the hashtag #WhatThisCrisisTaughtMe to trending status.
Filipinos sent the hashtag to Twitter trending on Tuesday, March 31, 2020, after tweeting what they have learned during the community quarantine due to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) health crisis in the Philippines.
Some shared that they realized they should have bonded with their family more before the crisis and that there is really no place like home.
