What are your thoughts on the:

A. Spread of CoVid-19 in the Philippines?

People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease can spread
from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a
person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces around
the person. Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces, then
touching their eyes, nose or mouth. People can also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in droplets
from a person with COVID-19 who coughs out or exhales droplets. This is why it is important to
stay more than 1 meter (3 feet) away from a person who is sick.

The spread came from Wuhan, China and later spread in the Philippines. The state in
the Philippines especially in Luzon are in a critical state right now because there are too many
deaths than cured in cases of COVID-19 as many people are disobeying some of the rules of
the government to us like going outside frequently and they even get to protest in times of
calamity instead. In my opinion the government is doing their best or some of them are doing
their best while some are taking advantage of the situation in hand and it's not only happening
in the government but also some people in the Philippines.

B. Implementation of the Luzon-wide Enhanced Community Quarantine?

The ECQ is for the filipino as the virus is really risky or even dangerous as it already has
taken too many lives. I am pitying the people who is affected by poverty as they don't have
much money to stack food but the government still provide some food for them. By
implementing the ECQ the activity of the people will be restricted as only with the pass can go
outside to buy food. The Government should not neglect their duties as there are also a lot of
people who didn't want to take the ECQ or even the virus seriously so they go outside just like
nothing.

The Government should be strict in times like this but be as helpful as possible so they
can also get the favor of the people. They should also be strict in checking in temperature if
he/she have the virus. This implementation must be taken seriously by the people before the
situation gets harder especially the poor people because we do not have that much budget for
them.

C. Hoarding of supplies by your fellow filipino(ex. mask and alcohol) and selling them at a higher
price?

By hoarding many supplies from the market the opportunity of them is not that bad as
they will make a lot of money by selling them at a higher price because the demand and supply
are not the same but they take the opportunity of the other people especially their lives by
taking advantage of the situation because we lack supplies that all of us need it but sorry to say
this to the one reading it but those people are scam and corrupt to the core that they are taking
of this situation instead of helping the people to organize and do the right thing.

The government must punish those scum as soon as possible that if another disaster or
threat comes, the lack of supply will not be taken by those people to sell it at higher price
because in times of need it should help the people by a little but because people who are
greedy they take advantage of it and it will not change but we can reduce it even by a little.

D. Actions of President Rodrigo Duterte?

The actions of Rodrigo is neither satisfying nor disappointing but because of people who
are expecting a lot for the President because he is the President especially in this crisis a lot of
people are criticizing the one who is the leader because that is human nature and they tend to
blame the one who wants to help them the most. By implementing the ECQ or Enhanced
Community Quarantine the situation did improve by much as it will not spread faster. President
put some power in threatening the people because there are people who rebel in this times of
need especially the terrorists.

The Action of our President now is much decent than the previous ones except Marcos.
The first ones are elimination the drug addicts or the ones who are involved in illegal drugs and
now in this crisis he is much concerned in his people instead of his own self and I know that he
is not taking advantage of the situation by taking the money of the country but instead he gave
some for the people to use it especially the people who are really in need. I know that President
Duterte is putting an effort to end the crisis now by minimizing the incident and giving them
money so that the people will not go out to make money.
