Extend the lockdown. Preposition sacks of rice, boxes of canned goods, per poor family in ncr. Do massive testing. Strict health protocols even after lifting of lockdown, whenever. Give all cash subsidy now. We can rebuild the economy. We can not reclaim lives.

Last January, I recommended a temporary ban on travel from China, when covid was just starting. Sec. Duque said in House of Representatives question hour that it’s not needed, and we can handle it. And now, we must wait for community transmission? We can ill afford that!

5-8,000 pesos per poor family should have received their cash subsidy by now. That’s the Bayanihan law. The 3,600 pesos for the poor under unconditional cash transfer for 2019 and another in 2020 should also have been distributed by now. Calling on dswd and dbm. Please.

The export of coal from semirara to the Chinese at this time, that’s not an essential industry. So why the need for Chinese vessels? This important question begs for an answer. The welfare of my people is paramount.

Doh must create a “war council” of former health secretaries, infectious disease specialists, pulmonologists, so Sec. Duque may be guided on best way forward. Dr. Raul Destura and his team must receive full support for his test kits to be dispatched, used now.

I suggest an emergency food subsidy act that will provide 300 pesos per poor family in ncr during the enhanced community quarantine. If we expand the 50,000 poor families to 100,000 families, provide them 300 pesos/day for 30 days, this will be of great help.

Covid19 is a clear reaction of nature to man. We abused nature, we have a pandemic. Some humans ate animals that should not be eaten, thus the virus was transmitted to humans. Time to wake up, change our lifestyle, improve the way we live. Out with consumerism, materialism.

Further extension of ecq after April 30 should be dictated by science and health. We should have flattened the curve, by then. But cases are increasing now due to more testing, which is good. But, there are more deaths, too, sadly.

Enhanced community quarantine extension until April 30 is a necessity. It’s a good decision. But it will not be effective if massive testing will not be done. All doctors, nurses, frontliners must be given free covid tests now. All pum, pui must be tested by now. ASAP.
