A lot of NERVE required to face 2022

Only BORING people are afraid of 2022's "uncertainties" | Leni Robredo confused nerve for vein | Young Filipinos best positioned to navigate the Future Normal

2022 does not look like a promising year — for people who are no fun.

The entry of the Omicron COVID-19 variant into the Philippines had always been inevitable. This fact blunts any point being made by titas who pompously signal unqualified expertise on “trending” matters and issue shrill expressions of panic and outrage over “privileged” balikbayans partying like there is no tomorrow, ordinary Filipinos going about their business normally “as if there is no pandemic”, and campaign sorties drawing crowds whose participants fail to comply with social distancing protocols. How utterly boring.
