Hello Steemit Philippines! Kumosta? All I wish to have a good health always to all of us here specially this time of pandemic. Health is wealth matters most nowadays.

Before anything else, let me share to you a bit about our memories with my family in this place. Before this floating restaurant was build in this sea shore, this place was our bonding area. We took a bath at the edge of this hanging wood bridge. Sometimes we bring food to feed the small fish swimming in the sea water. We enjoy watching the fish grab the food that we gave. So when this floating restaurant was constructed, we were a bit sad because we could no longer did on what we used to do in this place. But later on we were glad that many people visiting our place and it adds to tourists attraction in our town.

This Lantaw Floating Native Restaurant was well known and became popular restaurant in our place. Many local tourists and even foreign tourists visiting this restaurant. It was known of their delicious and fresh seafoods recipes. Most of all visitors love this restaurant and the place as well because of the ambiance of the place. You can see the beautiful view of Cebu City at night. In the late afternoon you can also watch the beautiful sunset. So many people coming here and most of the time during dinner. You can ate their delicious food while enjoying and relaxing the place.

Then suddenly, the corona virus came and the whole universe scared. Lockdowns to many places implemented and strict health protocols observed. Since then normal life has always been our desire. This pandemic really a history breaker in this generation. Many establishments were close and this known floating restaurant in our town was one of them. Now this restaurant still not operating normally. We can see some people nearby the floating restaurant during early mornings and late afternoon not to eat but had their walked or a jog.

Closed establishments and lost jobs were common problems that everyone has facing. A sad reality that we need accept these trying times.

No matter how difficult our situation now, most importantly we don't lose hope. Just believe that in God's time it will be over and gone and everything will be back to normal again.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading.

I am inviting @liamnov, @angelycong, and @rfprincess to join this contest.

Keep safe and stay healthy always.

Sincerely,
@maris75
