OK, interesting, thanks. We'll probably just wait around here until then if the ferries remain closed until June 12. It's hard to find exact info about what is correct but I did see a Manila Bulletin article that confirms what you're saying about the borders here re-opening.

In good news, at least they are allowing liquor sales here to resume, thank God. I was getting tired of there only being Emperador and Kula Fu at a higher price... Not really my favorites. I would honestly rather be sober, lol. I had a San Mig Light for the first time in a couple months yesterday and it was delicious.

Hope you all have weathered the covid storm and are doing well. Can't wait for things to finally get back to normal.

This is probably the worst effect ng COVID-19 para sa ating mga Congressmen - Pegasus, Air Force One, Other KTV and Men’s Clubs Reportedly Shutting Down 

I read in a comment that one of the establishments has been taken by POGO operators. I can't verify that yet pero maganda na din yun kesa mabakante lang at walang kitain. Pasok din dun mga former employees ng Pegasus at Airforceone

May mga nakikita na akong lumalabas pero hindi kagaya ng dati na naghahabulan. Most kids are still staying in their houses. Siguro dahil naadik na sa online games.

Ganito na rin ba sa inyo matapos ihayag na under "GCQ" na ang lugar?

Sa amin ganito na.
Pagdating ng alas-kuwatro ng hapon ay maririnig mo na ang mga bata sa lansangan at maingay na.
Hindi ko alam kung naiintindihan ba ng kanilang mga magulang ang ibig sabihin ng "Q" sa GCQ.
Alam ko sabik na ang mga bata sa kanilang paglabas pero kung kapalit naman nito ay makuha ang sakit, isasakripisyo mo ba?

2 anak ko hangang ngayon hindi lumalabas. Hangang bakuran lang namin sila.
Bagamat flat na ang gulong ng bike ng anak ko dahil hindi nagagamit ay hindi pa rin ako pumapayag na lumabas siya at maglaro.
Kami na lang sa loob ng bahay.

In the building where I am, a retired police officer got in trouble for collecting the SAP meant to be distributed to the rest of the people in the building, and not distributing it... Maybe they had connections to the local barangay office but I don't know for sure. All I know is some of the people here aren't very happy about it. A lot of other people don't even realize they were due to receive SAP money.

I am wondering if anybody has had any success in obtaining a travel pass. I've heard conflicting information about what you are supposed to do in order to get one... Some people have said I need to go to the police station and then the hospital to get a test. But I have a friend in Manila who got one just by going straight to the local barangay office. They just asked him if he had any symptoms, and he said "no." Then they gave him one and he is on his way to Mindoro.

Has anybody here, especially in places with GCQ, managed to get a travel pass? If so, what did you have to do to get it?

Hoping that it will be rolled out by September and that's really the vaccine we are waiting and it's that effective to fight off the virus because as what I've read on the article it will still be a trial and error.

"Our present assumption is that we will have the data by the end of the summer, by August, so in September we should know whether we have an effective vaccine or not."

But I know we are all that positive when something like this news comes up and I'm praying 🙏 this will be a success, like most of us hoping for.

COVID-19 Vaccine Update:


this confuses me. other pharmaceuticals firms think COVID-19 vaccine will not be ready until 2021 and they still think that having a vaccine ready in 2021 is a long shot. yet AstraZeneca said that if the trials proved to be successful they will be rolling out 2 billion doses of the vaccine by September.

Don't they need barangay clearance too?
I went last week at our barangay hall and there is a really long line.
I overheard some people which are trying to get a travel pass. Don't know though if they are on the right place.

Here in Cavite liquor ban is also lifted (June 1) but deliveries of liquors just came now.
Near sari-sari store is now selling Red Horse beer.  I still prefer San Miguel Pale Pilsen but there is no choice.
2 bottles later. 

we had a similar problem here in my area. our whole neighbourhood had no Idea(since no barangay official informed us) that the registration for the SAP has been happening at the barangay hall and by the time someone in my neighbourhood got the news that the registration has been happening it was the day before last. a lot of my neighbour that badly needed that cash assistance almost missed it since the barangay decided to withhold the information regarding the SAP registration from our neighbourhood. I just glad that those who badly needed it were able to register.

This is the info that i have to acquire a travel pass. You need to have a mayor's certification then health certificate that you are COVID free. You need travel pass if you want to go to another region and better to check also that the region you are going to are already accepting travelers.

You are in Cebu, right? The governor of Cebu said she will lift all the border checkpoints on June 12 and by that time also passenger ships will start their operation. I just read it on the online local newspaper and don't have a link to it.

according to this parang limitado lang ata kung magkano masasagot ng philhealth per covid-19 patients. then pag lumampas sa amount ng "benefit packages" na inavail mo yung medical bill mo sagot na ata ng pasyente yun.

according to this. yes

Sagot ba ng gobyerno ang medical bills ng covid patients?
Kahit sa private or public hospitals?

Dito sa CAR halos walang pagbabago sa mga protocol kahit na under GCQ na except sa mga additional establishments na pwede na mag operate. Malaking sugal din ito sa mga Lgu lalo na at wala pang lunas ang sakit dahil kailangan buhayin ang ekonomiya, kung hahabaan kasi ang pagsasara ng ibang mga negosyo baka tuluyan na magsara ang mga ito forever nakakalungkot naman at marami maapektuhan.

Region 7 or Central Visayas (Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, Siquijor) is also included in that list. Additionally, nag-announce din si Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque ng mga karagdagang siyudad na sasailalim sa GCQ until June 15. List below.

• Cebu
• Mandaue
• Zamboanga

Stay safe and healthy everyone. You know what to do.  

Goodluck talaga satin.. dito sa QC wala pang GCQ, grabe na traffic at dagsa ng mga tao. Isipin mo wala pang jeepneys and buses nun ha. Paano na sa June 1? Nakakatakot bumalik sa office kung ganito kagulo.

Just in...

Starting June 1, 2020, the following areas will be under General Community Quarantine (GCQ):
Davao City
Pangasinan
Albay
Region 2
Region 3
Region 4A
Metro Manila

Prepare for the worst lalo na kung nasa area na maraming cases. Sana napalakas niyo mga immune system ninyo during the entire lockdown. Huwag kalimutan ang masks, kung may face shields, isuot niyo din.

Hindi na talaga kakayanin ng ekonomiya kapag tumagal pa ito. Mukhang naihanda na yata ang mga facilities kung sakaling magka-2nd wave. Sana lang mapabilis distribution ng mga masks at PPEs sa lahat ng fronliners. 

it's weird that I wasn't surprised when I heard and read this article(link below). amidst this crisis people really can't control their greed and have empathy towards the people in need. sana makulong lahat ng mga kasangkot sa SAP corruption para mabawasan namang ang mga kurakot sa pilipinas.

134 barangay officials face criminal charges for SAP-related anomalies

Kagabi nag salita ulit ang presidente natin ukol sa kinakaharap natin epidemya at sinabi nya na tutol siya sa pagbubukas ng klase dahil nandon pa rin yung panganib na mainfect mga estudyante na papasok sa mga paaralan at unibersidad. At, ang pinaparating nya talaga dito ay mas mainam na unahin ang kapakanan at kalusugan ng mga estudyante and para sa akin medyo pabor naman ako dito dahil isa rin akong estudyante and may kapatid din akong nag-aaral .

Para sa akin, hindi naman lahat ng mga estudyante ay ginagamit ang time ngayon para lang maglaro dahil may iilan ay mas pinipili pa rin ang mag aral ng mga bagay na gusto pa nila matutunan. And, nasa atin na rin siguro ito kung gagamitin natin ang free time sa makabuluhang bagay. And, mas mainam na talaga muna na talakayin yung vaccine sa virus para wala ng takot ang mga estudyante kung magreresume yung mga klase.


Pero salungat naman sa nais ng presidente, ayon kay Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, safe daw iresume Ang klase sa August 24.

Pag-aaralan pa lang pero nasabi na nyang ligtas ang pag bubukas ng klase sa susunod na pasukan. Masyado itong nakakabahala para sa kaligtasan ng mga kabataan. Una, hindi lahat ng paaralan ay kayang i-accomodate ang mga estudyante habang ipinapatupad ang social distancing sa buong facilities. Maraming estudyante ang umaasa lamang sa public schools para makapag aral at alam naman nating laging siksikan ang mga estudyante sa mga pampublikong paaralan.

Ang pag reresume ng mga klase sa kalagitnaan ng epidemya ay isa talagang malaking sugal para sa kalusugan ng mga mamamayan pati na din sa ekonomiya. Sana naman ay pag isipan nang mabuti ni Duque ang mga iba't-ibang posibilidad bago magdesisyon. Madaling sabihin na ligtas ito, pag nasa sitwasyon na tayo ay malaki ang chance na mas lalong dadami ang positive cases. Ngayon pa nga lang na karamihan ay naka quarantine, patuloy pa rin ang pag dami, pano pa kung palalabasin ang mga kabataan? Ganito ang pinlano ng South Korea pero mukhang mahirap pa rin na magtagumpay na maging ligtas ang mga kabataan sa pag bukas ng klase.

Sa amin dito sa Cavite ay parang walang nagbago.
Per Cluster pa din. T/TH/Sat lang ako pwede lumabas.

Kaya nagtataka ako pano napuno yung mall nung nakaraan na pinasara ulit ni Gov. Jonvic dahil sa mga pasaway.
Ang hirap talaga bigyan ang tao ng konting kalayaan.
Hindi ba sila natatakot na sa paguwe nila ay dala dala na nila ang sakit.

Ako, kada uwe kulang na lang balatan ko katawan ko para luminis dahil feeling ko nakakapit na sa akin ang virus sa paglabas pa lang.

It is such a dilemma if MECQ is really a good decision or not e. Parang normal day lang dito samin traffic, at siksikan na sa ibang public places, stores at malls and 'yong pinaka-essential practice pa 'yong nakalimutan ng karamihan which is 'yong social distancing. It indicates how indisciplined people were, and it show how important talaga mag-impose ng strict rules.

I am afraid sa magiging outcome nito after few weeks. Would number of positive cases would blowout and babalik nanaman tayo sa mas maraming fatalities than recoveries? ('Wag naman sana but parang doon pupunta if it still continues). I get it naman na 'yong iba need na mag-work pero 'yong na-miss lang lumabas, damn.

Same thoughts sa baka magkaroon ng second wave, kabayan.

If naging katulad lang tayo ni SoKor sa pag-handle nitong suffering na'to wala na siguro dapat pang ikatakot pa sa pag-labas.



Just look how their cases drastically went down. Mass testing, and right there isolation agad, if I am not mistaken may 0 cases report sila for a several days which is somehow a good outcome nung action na ginawa nila on handling this terrifying battle. Businesses are now open and so the jobs walang nang iwo-worry sa economy and for a stomach to feed. If naging SoKor lang talaga tayo. But wala na it is what it is, kung ano man maging consequence siguro nito government is there to clean the mess. Matuto na sa susunod   (Baka 'yong iniisip nung iba).

Ngayong araw ang start ng MECQ sa atin, May 16, 2020, maraming tao ang gusto nang lumabas sa kanilang mga bahay upang maalis ang inip at stress sa loob ng dalawang buwan na quarantine.

Naririto sa link na ito ang iba pang mga dapat sundin at pagbabago na maaaring makatulong saten, upang mas maging maayos ang ating MECQ. http://dotr.gov.ph/55-dotrnews/1432-look-for-areas-placed-under-the-modified-enhanced-community-quarantine-mecq-public-transportation-is-not-allowed-and-some-transportation-services-will-remain-limited.html

Meron akong nabasa na tungkol sa rules ng mga transportation isa na dito ang private transportation, di naman natin maitatanggi na marami rin naman sa bansa natin ang gumagamit ng private transportation na pinakanagcacause ng traffic sa bawat main road na nadaraanan natin. Eto yung iminungkahi ng DOTr ukol dito:


Kumakalat ngayon sa social media yung mga pictures na kung saan kitang kita na ang mga mall ay crowded pati narin ang mga daanan natin na kalsada.


Kung makikita nyo napakaraming tao, napakaraming sasakyan na nagcacause ng traffic at ang mga tao ay hindi sinusunod ng maayos ang mga rules and regulations sa MECQ. Maraming rumors ang lumalabas na maaari raw talagang magkaroon ng second wave ang covid-19 sa ating bansa dahil hindi pa naman natin nafflatten ang curve at marami paring mga tao ang hindi sumusunod sa gobyerno. Pinatupad lang naman ang MECQ para kahit papaano ay makabawi and ekonomiya natin at malamang ay hindi ganito ang inaasahan ng ating gobyerno.
