CAN I BE QUARANTINED HERE? OH PRETTY PLEASE!!!

I watched the live press conference last night of President Duterte and his cabinet members regarding the ECQ (Enhanced Community Quarantine) or the lock down in the Philippines.  I've been following the developments rather closely because I need to know when we can fly back to the Philippines.  Last night's press con gave my heart a little flutter.  I'm seeing a little ray of hope breaking in the otherwise gloomy state we are all in.

Here's what I've learned:

ECQ until May 15

NCR (National Capital Region) Manila and surrounding areas;
Region 3: Bataan/Bulacan/Nueva Ecija/Pampanga;
Region 4A: Cavite/Laguna/Batangas/Rizal/Quezon (CALABARZON);
Region 4B: Oriental and Occidental Mindoro;
Region 5: Albay/Catanduanes;
Region 1: Benguet/Pangasinan (may change by April 30);
Region 3: Tarlac/Zambales (may change by April 30).

The following are subject for re-check:

Antique/Aklan/Iloilo/Capiz/Cebu/Cebu City/Davao del Norte/Davao City and Davao de Oro (also known as Compostela Valley).

As recent as April 22, I've heard from a vlogger that a barangay in Cebu City is in total lockdown (no one's allowed to get out and no one's allowed to come in).  The whole barangay is considered infected, the reason for the total lock down.

In the meantime, most of the island provinces are all safe, they are declared very low to zero incident, hence, the GCQ - General Community Quarantine which is way better than the ECQ.  In GCQ, the people have a little more freedom and mobility.  Now if the airlines resume their flights, which I hope soon, I'd like to be caught on lock down (if it happens again) here:

or here:

.....where I could sit by the beach on a sunny afternoon and think about .... the Covid19?   Nah!

Or maybe go to Pintuyan, Southern Leyte,  and swim with the gentle giants of the sea.....

 Or spend the day and night in San Pedro Island, Hinunangan, Southern Leyte.  Island hopping should be allowed by then since there is zero incident in my hometown.

Well, well, well.  It's so nice to daydream, BUT....it could happen too since President Duterte has eased the lock down in our parts of the country.  See you soon Southern Leyte..........


You all are in our prayers during this difficult time.  Know that Jehovah is still in control!  Stay safe and well.  We love you so.
