Baguio Veterinary gives Vegetable Seeds for ‘sustainable relief’ amid CoVID-19 Crisis

“You give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. You teach a man how to fish, you feed him for his life.”

True enough, with Luzon being placed on an Enhanced Community Quarantine, the Baguio Veterinary Office – Agricultural Services Division (BCVO-ASD) has chosen the latter. They have repacked different kinds for the different barangays in Baguio so they could grow their own “survival gardens.”

With the rising positive cases of CoVID-19, going to the wet market for fresh produce could give you quite a scare. But, to have a strong immune system, one needs to be eating vegetables. How to do it? Grow your own lush gardens from these seeds.

The residents of Baguio are quite lucky to have been given the assurance of food security in this time of uncertainty. May everyone do the same. Let’s eat healthy and be healthy.

Need a laugh? Check out these Pun-ny Cebuano memes!

Cebuano memes surely never disappoint.

When it comes to Cebuano social media behavior, Cebuanos have proven that humor could really persist even in serious times. With the threat of Corona Virus and travel bans, Cebuanos have found a way to lighten up the mood online and have shown the world that amidst chaos, you can still have ‘pun’ in Cebu.

With a combination of creativity, wit, and sarcasm (nevermind the editing skills), you can count on Cebuanos to put fun in everything. Let’s not forget that these puns were only based on one photo.

Here is a compilation of Cebuano memes that have been spreading on the internet like wildfire.

I cannot stress any further how critical internet connectivity is in this crisis the world is facing today.

With this, Globe has doubled the data allowance of its best-selling prepaid promo, the GoSurf50, to help its subscribers stay connected most especially during this time.

The GoSurf50 now comes with 2GB mobile data (from 1GB) + free 1GB per day for choice of app bundle (GoWATCH & Play, GoSHARE & SHOP or GoLIVE & DISCOVER) + Free 1GB GoWiFi + Unlimited texts to all networks — all these for only ₱50, valid for 3 days.

This promo is valid from March 25 to April 25, 2020.

Guide: Free Bus Rides in Cebu City for stranded commuters amid CoVID-19 outbreak

With the scarcity of public utility vehicles, going from one place to the other could be the hardest daily routine, especially for the Cebuano modern heroes

However, Cebu City Mayor Edgar Labella has a solution to this dilemma – FREE BUS RIDES. Yes, the Cebu City government will be providing free buses for Cebuanos who would be taking these routes:

  • City Hall to Bulacao (via N. Bacalso, P. Del Rosario, Imus, Tejero, and vice-versa)
  • City Hall to Bulacao (via N. Bacalso, P. Del Rosario, Day-as, Sikatuna, vice-versa)
  • City Hall to Bulacao (via N. Bacalso, Junquera, Colon, Parian, and vice-versa)
  • City Hall to Cogon Pardo (via Tagunol Rd., C. Padilla, Colon, Parian, and vice-versa)
  • City Hall to Guadalupe (via Osmeña Blvd. and vice-versa)
  • City Hall to Guadalupe (via V. Rama and versa)
  • City Hall to Inayawan (via N. Bacalso and versa)

You will get the chance to score the free bus ride of the Cebu City government from 6AM to 10AM  and from 5PM to 9PM.

Because we are currently practicing social distancing, only 25 passengers are allowed to embark on the bus.

Ride Hero App

If you think that’s the best thing about everything, wait until you download Ride Hero.

Ride Hero, through their Chief Executive Officer, Michael Cubos and mobile application developer Brian Muller, joined Mayor Labella in the drive to help the Cebuank commuters.

Once you download the Ride Hero app, you will be able to trace the location of the bus and their time of arrival as well as the capacity of the buses.

As of writing, the Cebu City government has already deployed 13 buses. We’re wishing for more buses so we could strengthen the social distancing especially during commute.

Singapore to donate 3,000 CoVID-19 Test Kits & a PCR machine to PH

The immediate responses and help from different countries to the Philippines is overwhelming.

Another country has expressed their interest to help our nation with our combat against COVID-19. Singapore, being an Asian country, will be donating 3,000 COVID-19 test kits to the Philippines. In addition to the 3,000 kits, Singapore will also be donating a machine for the detection of the virus.

According to Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin, Jr., though the arrival of the test kits and machine are yet to be announced, he is already beyond grateful for these donations.

He added that he has yet to send a memo to President Duterte about it. Even before this, China and South Korea have already donated to the Philippines.

This trying time has made us realize how important it is if we all support one another. May more countries come to help other nations to rise from the ashes.

Pets on Quarantine, too? Vet Offers Free Online Consultation For Your Furbabies!

The world is in utter chaos right now due to the Coronavirus. Almost everyone is on quarantine in their own homes, and many businesses and services have already closed.

Even veterinary offices are closing down. Humans have their hospitals who can treat them when they are sick and down, but what about the pets? They really have it “ruff”. Thankfully, there is a hero online offering his services for the poor furbabies in our homes.

Meet Dr. Mann Cyron E. Sarmiento, a noble veterinarian answering his call of helping out the sick to our friends with fur, feathers, and everything in between. He has opened up his Twitter and Facebook accounts to accommodating various “pawrents” who are concerned about their “pupperinos”.

However, do take note that Dr. Sarmiento aims to help people determine whether your concern is an emergency or not. If your pet clearly needs immediate and urgent medical help, do not hesitate to bring it to a vet office that accepts emergency cases.

“This idea stems from the medical community as we also started ‘online inquiries’ for medical concerns. This is to lessen the movement of people and lessen ER consults. Again, the whole purpose is to triage patients,”

– Dr. Sarmiento

The doctor also tweeted out that in case it isn’t an emergency, his advice only involves wound cleaning, pet hydration, proper feeding, etc. So, if you have a question about your furbaby which you are unsure if it would need serious help, send a DM on his way. He entertains questions until 12 midnight. Remember, stay safe and keep your pets safe too.

Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia expressed her gratitude for the donation and her admiration to the South Korean government for having been able to manage the COVID-19 outbreak.

She also stressed how the government of Cebu has also battled against the virus.

“I just want to assure the Cebuanos that the government has put in place response measures like travel restrictions and strict border controls, social distancing, mass gatherings, among others,”

Garcia said. 

The ambulance units will also be sent to the four provincial hospitals which cater patients from the 12 district hospitals in Cebu.

Though the donation of these ambulance units were already planned prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, Bonghwan Cho, president of CKA said that they had to fast-track the donation because of the crisis. With this, Cho mentioned that the CKA will help Cebu in the combat against this pandemic.  

“The Cebu Korean Association love Cebu and together we will work in fighting this virus and support each other,”

AMRO donates improvised Personal Protective Equipment to COVID-19 frontliners in Cebu

One of the most admirable traits of Filipinos is that we always find ways.

With the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (CoVID-19), a shortage of medical supplies was inevitable especially the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Our frontliners without the necessary protection is like an army sent to battle without armor.

This is why the All-Terrain Medical Relief Operations (AMRO), a non-profit organization here in Cebu, has been working on an improvised Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in their effort to help our medical frontliners amid CoVID-19 crisis.

“With the shortage of supplies coming into Cebu especially the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the group has decided to start creating improvised PPE that would serve as protection for our medical professionals and healthcare frontliners. While we can only do so much, the safety and comfort is of utmost priority given that these will be worn in the front lines for long hours when addressing suspected COVID-19 cases.”

– AMRO

The improvised PPE is composed of:

  • 3-piece body suit
  • Comes with hood
  • Face shield (development stage)

Materials used for the face shield:

  1. 0.3 plastic, it’s like the plastic cover but thicker (also can use acetate but the pre-cut ones are small)
  2. Anti-slip mat (others have used ordinary foam or thermal insulator as what the DIY guys in YouTube from Palawan have used)
  3. Duct tape and garter
  4. Mighty bond shoe glue
  • Test fit.
  • A regular PPE worn by AMROader Julie. We’re running out of these PPEs hence, the idea to create improvised PPEs
  • Hood fitting and testing for comfort and protection with several revisions.
  • Sample face shield. The goal is to provide as much coverage as possible on the top, side, and bottom.

 All considerations and expertise were taken into account upon creating these PPEs. They have collaborated with master cutters from Cordova, Cebu City medical students, medical doctors, and private individuals to assure the safety and comfort of our medical personnel.

Donate now!

They are now asking for a helping hand. Donate to protect our medical frontliners.

To donate and sponsor, you may message them via their public group:  https://www.facebook.com/AMROCebu/
