Unless this order is meant solely to update the DILG about the situation on the ground so to speak, I don’t quite get the rationale of this memo. Quarantining entire villages and cities are difficult enough decisions for local chief executives to make because it is hard to sustain logistically and puts a terrible strain on the local economy.

What was supposed to be a simple errand turned out to be a nightmarish experience when the businessman encountered a traffic problem in M. Velez street on his way home. In another time and place, the intervention of an incumbent official over a problem would placate antagonists and protagonists alike but nowadays it seems it does not amount for anything much anymore. I wonder if the policeman impressed upon Councilor Garganera the importance of his supposed duty in the time of the pandemic because that’s how the local official summed up the situation to Mr. Ortiz by way of explaining why he can’t help him.
