Almost all of Manila is on gcq, they anticipate we will move into modified gcq around the 15. After that my money is it will remain like that until a vaccine is developed...………..at least that's how I read the tea leaves 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on MGCQ here in Iloilo. Businesses can open, but at 50% capacity. Out and about you have to maintain social distancing and wear masks. Boracay has reopened the hotels and has marked areas for swimming. No big deal really, pretty much business as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jollygoodfellow Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 22 hours ago, Tukaram (Tim) said: This new normal should last quite a while. I was in the mall today, after temp check and showed pass allowed to enter. The floors are marked with arrows so foot traffic separated while following the arrows. The elevators had feet painted on them to show where to stand, single file to one side and so much gap between each passenger. Not many shops open and not many people there but here no transport yet to get around and still need a pass to move from one area to the other. I can understand how difficult it is to get back to work, look at these requirements if you have to travel to work in a different area than home. QUOTE , https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1284410/lack-of-transport-toughens-gcq-transition-for-cebu-city-workers Col. Clarito Baja, director of the Lapu-Lapu City police, said non-essential workers must present these documents to pass through borders—a clearance from village officials, medical certificate from the city health department, travel pass from City Hall, authority to travel from police. “If they lack one of these requirements, they won’t be allowed to go to other localities,” he said. .............

graham59 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Typical over the top bureaucratic nonsense, totally out of tune with the needs of SIMPLE, POOR people...who desperately need an income ! Something that the (SUV-driving) civil servants have no problem with. As far as the various 'lockdown' categories go, it appears that the LGUs and Barangays make up their own rules as they go along... so good luck ! Only 'good' news (for some) today was that the Pres' will not be handing out any more money to the 'needy', so perhaps the LGUs and Barangays will lose interest if there is no pot of gold to steal from anymore. Are the downtrodden peasants beginning to rebel ? .https://punto.com.ph/workers-to-duterte-focus-on-real-issues-mass-transport-not-militarism/ Edited June 3, 2020 by graham59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
