Lugaw as non essential says a Barangay frontliner in Bulacan.
This event underscores the variety of interpretation by frontliners of IATF instructions/laws. This makes life for the masses doubly difficult: restricted movement and tyranical implementation of regulations as this one.
Since when Lugaw, a food item becomes non essential? Ano you can survive without lugaw? (Sige na)
So more training more explanation more understanding of the instructions. But in general, the easiest way to implement orders is to go for the strictest implementation to minimize deviation and time decision making by persons with limited ability to judge and decide.
We just hope the covid19 has not affected the way our people think from the IATF leadership down to the frontliners. Such events make fighting covid19 more challenging
There was so much flooding in Luzon over the weekend: Saturday and Sunday with floodwaters raging "lagpas tao" The strange thing was there was no typhoon. And the volume of rainfall was just 1/2 of Ondoy. in 2009(but that was for 4 days period 500 mm of rainfall) The rainfall last Saturday was 270 mm, half of the entire rainfall for August (500 mm). Falling in just one day. Much rainfall fell North of Manila, less on the south. There was one wedding at Hagonoy Bulacan. held in a flooded church.
Why again was there so much flooding? The flooding caused the evacuation of more than 20,000 because of the deep floodwater. Several died of drowning
1. Many of the areas have been rain soaked all ready because of previous deluge?
2. Too much silting in some rivers;
3. Garbage disposed off in rivers and waterways clogging the same. Hence the flood. How can we mitigate floods from too much rainfall in the future? Can we or we are just victims of nature
