We Held Our Breath

'When the Philippine government announces Community Quarantine in March 2020, a close-knit group of friends, now scattered across different tax brackets and time zones, finds their lives abruptly paused. "We Held Our Breath" is a raw and intimate anthology that peels back the layers of the pandemic experience, moving beyond the headlines to the quiet, suffocating realities of the Filipino people, whether they're rich, middle class, or surviving below poverty line. What begins as a temporary disruption stretches into a two-year ordeal that exposes the fragile fault lines of their relationships, careers, and sanity, following the friends as they navigate inequality and silent traumas to ultimately find their way back to one another.
