Aside from the Christmas season, another cultural period that stimulates abundant tourism and travel in the Philippines is the Lenten season. Hence, this season is a major setback in the containment of the coronavirus disease 2019. Fasting and abstinence, acts which mark the Lenten season, are closely tied up with the Filipino cultural value of pagtitimpi in that both promote restraint and self-denial. Ultimately, this article suggests that reinterpreting pagtitimpi can be crucial in controlling the virus.
除了圣诞节,菲律宾另一个刺激大量旅游和出行的文化时期是四旬斋节。因此,这个季节是 2019 年冠状病毒病遏制的一个主要挫折。斋戒和禁欲,这些标志着四旬斋节的行为,与菲律宾人的文化价值观 pagtitimpi 密切相关,因为它们都提倡克制和自我否定。最终,本文认为重新解释 pagtitimpi 对于控制病毒至关重要。
