"We need to travel more responsibly. We need to gather more responsibly," pahayag ni KC Concepcion matapos lumabag sa COVID-19 protocols nang dumalo sa birthday party ni Tim Yap sa Baguio.

Humingi ng paumanhin si KC Concepcion matapos tanggalin ang kanyang face mask sa isang gathering.

Isa ang aktres sa mga dumalo sa birthday party ng kanyang kaibigang eventologist at socialite na si Tim Yap sa Baguio City noong January 17.

Nagmulta si KC at Tim, at iba pang guests ng tig-Php 1,500 dahil sa kanilang paglabag sa COVID-19 protocols.

Idinaan ni KC sa isang Instagram post ang paghingi niya ng dispensa, kasabay ng pasasalamat niya sa mga medical frontliner para sa kanilang serbisyo.

Sulat niya, "Taking the time to thank our nurses, doctors, frontliners and caregivers who have been working hard since the beginning of last year.

"To be honest, we are all still getting used to our new normal.

"I quarantined solo for 3 months, not leaving my house, trying to be strong home alone to keep myself and others safe, and had no one at home to lean on.

"Mentally, it was taking its toll, which it did on so many of us regular people, but most especially on our frontliners who have been working nonstop to keep our communities safe. Thank you."

Dugtong ni KC, "I do agree that keeping a mask on and not letting our guards down is the least we citizens could do.

"I personally apologize for not having kept my mask on 100% of the time during a gathering.

"It has been 2 weeks since then and I hope we can move forward with lessons learned about safety protocols indoors or outdoors when in a crowd.

"I understand the panic. And I would react in a similar way."

Isa rin sa mga guest ni Tim si Mayor Benjamin Magalong at asawa nitong si Arlene.

Dahil sa pagkondena sa isinagawang birthday party, nagdesisyon ang alkalde na mag-resign bilang contract tracing czar ng bansa. Gayunpaman, hindi tinanggap ang pagbaba niya sa pwesto ayon sa Malacañang.

Sa parehong post, ibinahagi rin ni KC ang kanyang natutunan mula sa pandemya.

Aniya, "This pandemic situation is tiring on many levels for us all.

"We all have our different struggles and ways of coping.

"There are days that you're up, and there are days when you're down.

"There are days that you're strong, and days when you fail.

"But one thing is for sure, we can all learn from everyday experiences, and from each other.

"Nobody is perfect, revenge travel is TRULY a thing, and in as much as we would like to break free from chains and restrictions to try and keep sane, no.

"We need to travel more responsibly. We need to gather more responsibly. Stay focused and patient.

"We can get through this together."

Ayon pa kay KC, dapat daw pahalagahan ng mga tao ang kanilang mental health sa panahong ito.

Dagdag niya, "In the meantime, we should take care of our mental health, always, as much as the physical, no matter what.

"Find things that make you happy. Rest when your mind and body need it. Eat healthy, be active, stay alert.

"As I've learned, we can connect with each other and love each other, while still being extra careful for ourselves and one another.

"I let my guard down for 5 minutes- while I was vigilant 99% of the time, 99% is not enough.

"Moving forward... Take care out there everyone. We have a long way to go. Tomorrow is a new day."

Samantala, bukod kay KC, marami pang celebrity ang umaming nakakaranas ng kalungkutan o depresyon ngayong panahon ng pandemya.
