Lockdown on its 9th week. NCR is on MECG. The rest are in GCQ.


The matrix on Covid-19 based on incidence of testing, positive rate and capability and occupancy of health system is dynamic and constantly changing day by day.

With the several variations and conditions per island, region, province, city, town, district, barangay, policies and processes are increasing in numbers making it difficult for the majority of the citizens to keep up. Most of the steps require cross functional interdependencies.

To be current, one needs an understanding of process flow tuned in to media releases for updated versions. Even the LGUs and the Barangay have not been apprised in a timely manner on the developments.

Even media front liners are challenged. Reports are further probed and validated by senior practitioners for consistency.

One of the government officials who understands and makes an effort to explain even the exceptions is DILD Secretary Eduardo Ano. His judgments are calibrated and policy based (compliance and execution are altogether a phenomenon).

With time in my hands, I track developments and changes i.e. GMA News TV, Teleradyo DZMM, DZRH.

But what about the ordinary folks? Most common needs are getting financial aids, DSWD listing, quarantine pass, travel pass, transport, inter area transfers among others.

For the past 9 weeks, I unconditionally assist particularly the marginalized like construction workers, senior citizens, QC residents in whatever capacity to help them move to the next steps. This is also to test the processes laid down.

It is understandable that given these conditions and reality and the complexity of situations and our current political structure, the fastest way to cope is through political connection. I am still working on this linkage to help more.

This is just process. This does not even cover health related concerns.

Earthling is in distress. Each of one needs to look closely at our values for us to tide us over.

My 6 basics to survive:
  1. Stay healthy. Boost my immune system. Food. Personal hygiene
  2. Isolate. Face mask, distancing, disinfecting
  3. Maintain a sane mental mindset. Routine. Chores. Tasks. Socia Media. Hobbies. YouTube. DIY. Helping others. Prayers. Writing articles like this
  4. Stay connected. Social media, media
  5.  Maintain resources. Money. Hardware. Water. Energy. Food. Data
  6. Comply. Don't get detained
