THE Baguio City Government will be undergoing gradual return to a new normal life assuming President Rodrigo Duterte declares an end to the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine after April 30.
“We have been engaging the various sectors regarding the transition phase and assuming the President decides that we have a localized community quarantine starting May or the post ECQ, we are now coming up with our own transition plan which will be finalized this April 24 together with the specific guidelines and what we have to expect is that there will be no complete easing out of all sectors, we will not be opening up easily, business as usual will not happen.
“We cannot just simply open up to construction. When we open up to construction, there should be another sector that will mutually supporting the construction industry which is why we have to open our hardware, auto supply, I.T. supply. We also have to ease up on our transport for the workforce the previous sectors will generate which is the vain of any economy,” the Chief Executive stated.
“We will start from 5% to 10% and slowly moving up through the form of baby steps. This is to give us the chance to make the immediate necessary adjustments when we encounter problems during the transition phase contrary to making a sudden leap and then encounter problems which will be very difficult for us to address which is why it will be in a form of baby steps,” Magalong saidt.
