It is Day 14 of the Enhanced Community Quarantine in Luzon, Philippines — our response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Or, Day 16 of the original Community Quarantine for Metro Manila, before the government decided to impose quarantine on the entire Luzon region.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s Day 18 of my own Personal Quarantine, which I decided to start ahead of the government’s decision and announcements.
I was out and about on March 12, Thursday, and thought, why wait for the government to tell us to restrict our movements and minimize our chances of catching the virus, eh?
It’s not like I have a day job or that I’m obligated to be elsewhere. 🙄
So I started staying home on March 13, Friday. 😎
The only times I ventured out was March 21, Saturday, to walk around the block and pick up my Home Quarantine Pass from the Barangay Hall, and March 25, Wednesday, when I went out for errands — picking up jugs of purified water, doing some groceries, and going to the pharmacy.
Yeah, and they misspelled my name. 🙄
Fortunately, although they require you to show your pass, they don’t look at it too closely… so far. 🙃
President Duterte announced on March 12, 2020 the “community quarantine” on Metro Manila starting at 12 midnight on March 15 up to April 14 that will cover 16 cities and one municipality. … During the second day of the implementation of the Metro Manila community quarantine, on March 16, President Duterte declared a Luzon-wide “enhanced community quarantine” that aims to further combat the effect of the continuing and increasing spread of COVID-19. It took effect on March 17 and will end on April 12.
