  ABSTRACT: Objectives: To explore the children’s sentiments on what they wrote about first COVID-19 pandemic study; find out their thoughts and feelings with the continuous presence of the pandemic; know how they spent their time; encourage them to express their hopes and wishes; and inspire them to share their experiences of the pandemic. Method: Pre-tested open-ended questionnaire was emailed through parents, and returned similarly. Participants: 49 boys and girls, 8 - 15 years old, in public and private schools, NCR, Luzon, Philippines. Results: Almost half of participants cannot recall, and the other half remember the first study with more negative and least positive events; participants seem aware and have a good understanding of the pandemic; they engaged in less inside, and more outside sports, leisure, hobbies, and tasks; recalled more negative experiences but hopeful, and wish for COVID-19 gone completely.
