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