If you are one of the #AshMatt fambam, your heart must have exploded even just by reading the title.
Newly-wedded Matteo and Sarah Guidicelli joined the other stars during the ABS-CBN benefit concert yesterday, March 22. Though Sarah Geronimo-Guidecelli has been a constant performer, seeing her sing with her husband makes it more interesting and pleasing.
Sarah and Matteo, together, sang Calum Scott’s ‘You Are The Reason.’ If you think singing was enough, their gazes were great contributions to the overall performance. It was indeed a dream come true for the #AshMatt.
Mr. and Mrs.
Guidicelli performed together with the wide array of Kapamilya stars during the
Pantawid ng Pag-ibig campaign. Such campaign is a virtual fundraising concert
of ABS-CBN to provide food and basic necessities to our kababayans.
According to ABS-CBN, they were able to raise a whopping P236M after the concert. Thank you, kababayans and to everyone who have donated.

The Philippines has just reached its largest single-day increase in CoVID-19 cases reported Monday, March 23, 2020.
The Department of Health recently announced 82 new positive cases of the novel coronavirus. With this, we now have a total of 462 cases within the Philippines.
This sudden rise in the confirmed COVID-19
cases is mostly due to the following factors:
More tests being conducted
after the Philippines received thousands of test kits from various donors
Approved test kits through the
Food and Drug administration have been increased from four to eight over the
past week.
DOH also approved four testing
laboratories, moving from the initially centralized testing at the Research
Institute for Tropical Medicine
The Philippines has taken great lengths to contain the spread of the virus like Luzon being placed under “Enhanced Community Quarantine”, Cebu in a community quarantine, along with other cities, provinces and islands of the country.
Employees were encouraged to work from home, social distancing was practiced, and social gatherings were also prohibited — despite all these precautionary measures, the real number of infections in the Philippines is still not known.
With this, there is now a call to conduct mass testing to determine the extent and rate of infections in the country.

ABS-CBN stars are making a difference by doing what they do best – performing.
Over 100 Kapamilya stars will be staging tonight, March 22 at 7PM – from their respective homes.

government officials in Metro Manila and other private companies.
For everyone who

COVID-19 mask
shortages leave people with makeshift solutions.
One concrete
example is RHIPSTOP, a passion
project inspired by the Cebuano culture. Aptly inspired by our culture,
Rhipstop has decided to give back to the community.
With the lack of
proper masks to aid the Cebuanos in fighting the virus, Rhipstop has been
sewing more than 2000 face masks to not put Cebuanos’ lives at risk.
Rhipstop has been going around the metro giving energy drinks, ethyl alcohol, and cotton masks to the Cebuanos who couldn’t work from home, especially our frontliners.
It’s elating to
know that these local businesses have also contributed to help flatten the
curve. You too can help. Today, right now. You can do something to help others.
People of all ages and walks of life are diving in to make a difference.
Stay indoors to help lessen the spread of the virus. Unless necessary, stay with your family in your humble abode. Keep yourselves safe from this pandemic. Save the world.

“Regular na rasyon din ng pagkain ang natatanggap ng bawat evacuee sa agahan, tanghalian at hapunan. Mayroon ding kani-kaniyang hygiene kit at face masks,”
“…22 rito ay Manileno, 72 ang tiga ibang lungsod at 51 na walang permanenteng tirahan”

Housing these 145 evacuees (as of March 21), is an effective way to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and a great way to cement our faith in humanity.
We are all in this together no matter the class, the house and the race.

“Self-Quarantine” is a way to separate
yourself from others especially if there is a possibility of you being exposed
to the novel coronavirus or you are showing COVID-19 symptoms.
This quarantine will last for the term of
the virus’s incubation period of 14 days where you will be observed and
monitored.
We already have the hotlines and emergency
lines for our inquiries on such cases and we have established that self-quarantine
is the best way to deal with this pandemic.
So, if you are showing symptoms, had travel
history or had a possible contact with someone who tested positive for
COVID-19, we have here a list on how to properly do a self-quarantine.
Keep to yourself. Stay away from all the people in your home. (have a separate room and bathroom if possible)
Proper hygiene: Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough/sneeze and dispose it immediately; wash your hands with soap and water while singing to a tune or for at least 20 seconds; or if not, you can sanitize with a 70% alcohol.
If you have questions regarding your medical needs and attention, call the hotlines and inquiry lines in Cebu to ensure that you are doing the right and safe actions.
Wear a face mask around other people. (ex. Interaction at home, Trip to the hospital)
Do not share drinking cups, eating utensils, towels or even bedding. Wash them with soap thoroughly after using.
Don’t invite guests into your home unless absolutely necessary.
Clean and sanitize all the house surfaces daily using a household cleaner, diluted Zonrox or Lysol. (ex. counters, chairs, tables, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards)
More importantly, clean and sanitize any surface that can possibly be contaminated with blood, stool or any bodily fluids.
Have a proper ventilation. Your home should have good airflow. (ex. Open windows)
Be aware and monitor your symptoms. Immediately call a health care provider if it gets worse like starting to have difficulty in breathing.

The Cebu City government is eyeing to build a collapsible one-story building to be used as a quarantine and treatment facility. The urgency comes as authorities deal with the pandemic, COVID-19, which originated in Wuhan, China.
A 5,000-square-meter property is being prepared by the Cebu City Government for this matter. The center is being built to house residents of Cebu City who will be diagnosed with COVID-19. It will be placed on Block 27 at the North Reclamation Area.
Cebu City Public Information Office
Chairman of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District, Atty. Jose Daluz III, said that the collapsible center can be completed in 10 days, or on March 27, 2020.
He said the
quarantine center will be run by the Cebu City Medical Center and will cater to
patients who have mild, moderate, or severe cases.
The City Government will hire health volunteers to assist medical personnel in managing the facility and the patients.
“The structure can be removed. In the future, magamit nato. Kuhaon na nato. Ang permanent ra jud diha is the flooring (In the future, we can use the building. We can get it. The only permanent thing there is the flooring),”
Daluz added.
Meanwhile, the Department of Health Central Visayas Development COVID-19 Center will be set up at the satellite campus of the Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu in General Maxilom Avenue, Cebu City.
According to the memorandum of agreement signed by Dr. Jaime Bernadas, DOH 7 director and Rev. Fr. Manuel Uy, S.J., the DOH shall be in charge in setting up and maintaining the site, including:
a quarantine area of 50 beds,
triage area for patients,
temporary laboratory facility for testing of COVID-19,
DOH operation center, equipment, machinery,
and related appendices or tools.
We are hoping that with the building of the collapsible quarantine center, together with our prayers and cooperation, COVID-19 will also leave our place as fast as it has arrived.
Update (As of April 16, 2020): Cebu City Mayor Edgar Labella has announced that the Quarantine Center in Block 27, North Reclamation Area, Cebu City is now 100% complete and will be operational starting next week.
100% COMPLETED na ang structure sa CEBU CITY QUARANTINE CENTER sa Block 27, North Reclamation Area, Cebu City. 24/7 ang atong trabaho dinhi and, God willing, this will be operational next week.
