“We can no longer stand idle while there is a clear and present

As the threat of the Corona Virus 2019 or COVID-19 rises everyday, and with 98 confirmed cases (as of this writing) here in the Philippines, the Cebu province has taken a proactive approach and is pulling all stops in protecting the island.
Covid-19 was classified by the Department
of Health (DOH) as a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and is
primarily spread from person to person.
With this, an Executive Order was issued
for the implementation of the drastic but necessary measures to avoid the
spread of the virus.
It will be 30 days of strict control over passengers coming in through its airports and all seaports.
“As we close our seaports to ingress of passengers, we are not prohibiting Cebuanos to go out of Cebu, but if they go out, they will not be able to come back in 30 days,” said Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia.
We have curated here all the information
discussed at the Sugbo News Live with Gov. Gwen Garcia.

Enhanced Community Quarantine
On March 26, 2020, the Cebu Province, including independent cities – Cebu City, Mandaue City and Lapu-Lapu City, has been placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ).
What is an Enhanced Community Quarantine?
Under “general community quarantine”, people are generally limited to “accessing basic necessities and work” while uniformed personnel and quarantine officers are present at border points.
The second level is called “enhanced community quarantine” which generally means:
Strict home quarantine (going out for no valid reason is strictly not allowed)
Suspended public transportation (may vary per city)
Food and health services will be regulated
Arriving international flights are strictly not allowed. Departing flights are still allowed.
More uniformed personnel (with the help of AFP and PNP) will help implement the ECQ.
NOTE: The specific guidelines of the Cebu province and the individual cities in Cebu (Cebu City, Mandaue City, Lapu-Lapu City) may differ.
Banks, ATM machines, supermarkets, and pharmacies will still be open. Government offices will still continue to operate, as well as other private companies in the food and beverages industry, medicine, banks, telecos, and BPOs but with a minimum number of employees.

COVID-19 Cebu
As the threat of the Coronavirus 2019 or COVID-19 rises everyday, and with 98 confirmed cases (as of this writing) here in the Philippines, the Cebu province has taken a proactive approach and is pulling all stops in protecting the island. Here’s everything you need to know about COVID-19 and its symptoms: https://sugbo.ph/2020/corona-virus-in-cebu/
With this, an Executive Order was issued for the implementation of the drastic but necessary measures to avoid the spread of the virus. For more information, head on to: https://sugbo.ph/2020/cebu-implements-drastic-measures/
If you are sick and think you have symptoms of COVID-19, seek medical attention, call the local Coronavirus Health Information Line for advice: 0922-397-2334 / 0943-568-3298 / (032) 402-3091 / (032) 402-1269. OR, go directly to the nearest hospital or medical center or see a doctor and seek medical attention.
If you have not
bought more than 5 bottles of alcohol or hand sanitizers, fret not because
according to research, soap is one of the most, if not the most, effective ways
to fight COVID-19.
As the COVID-19
cases in the Philippines continue to rise and fear sweeps the whole nation,
Filipinos want to make sure to be prepared in case of a total lockdown. Hence,
residents flock from one supermarket to the other to buy supplies and hoard
alcohol and sanitizers. However, did you know that more than alcohol and hand
sanitizers, doctors encourage for you to wash your hands with soap and water?
Yes, soap, being a
consumer product, plays a critical role to our great world-wide battle to send
to the drain the pandemic, COVID-19. With soap and water, you are not only
going to wash COVID-19 down the drain, you are helping in killing the virus.
Why is this so?
The COVID-19 can be
spread with the use of our hands. If someone is sick, mucus and viral particles
could be sticking to our hands. Our hands could pick up droplets containing the
virus and could unfortunately enter our bodies once we use our hands to touch
our face. That is why, our hands are our frontliners in our campaign to fight
COVID-19.
According to the
World Health Organization, there are two measures to effectively fight
COVID-19; social isolation and cleaning our hands.
If you have access
to a sink or water and soap, always make it a habit to do so. Wash your hands
with soap and water. Not only alcohol or hand sanitizer. Not just water. Wash
your hands with soap and water.
Parents should teach their children how to hand-wash properly
According to
resident Doctor Margaret Pajanel of Ospital ng Manila: “To make it simple:
Soap is made of fat and the key that holds the virus together is the lipid
layer on the outside. So to break the lipid layer, the soap will disassemble it
and the virus falls apart.”
Dr. Pajanel clarified that soap, alcohol, and hand sanitizer could all help in fighting the virus. However, it’s always SOAP > ALCOHOL > SOAP. Therefore, if you have access to soap and water, always consider it before the on-the-go alternatives, alcohol and sanitizer.

In an annual
countdown, a number of beauty pageants happen across the country. Each event
would never be complete without representatives from the country’s pageant
powerhouse – Cebu. One of the most anticipated events of all this year is the
Miss Universe Philippines, it is a national pageant which aims to select a
representative to compete in the prestigious international pageant – Miss
Universe.
Last 2019, Philippines was represented by Ms. Gazini Ganados, a confidently proud Cebuana, in the Miss Universe 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia. This year, three strong, smart, and beautiful Cebuanas, namely Tracy Maureen Perez, Apriel Smith, and Lou Dominique Piczon, are on the run to becoming the country’s next representative in the grandest international pageant after having been selected as official candidates for the first edition of Miss Universe Philippines.
Let’s get to know more about Cebu’s three gorgeous representatives.
1. Lou Dominique Piczon
Piczon, a
24-year old Cebuana diva, has racked several titles before being crowned as
Binibining Cebu Heritage 2018 and also becoming an official candidate on this
year’s Miss Universe Philippines. She was USJR’s Ms. Intramural 2014, Reyna ng
Aliwan 2016, Ms. Summer Queen 2013 first runner-up, and many more
2. Tracy Maureen Perez
Perez’s first
ever pageant was Miss TC 2011 which happened when she was in college. And with
her intelligence, wit, and dedication, she undoubtedly won. Perez is an
Industrial Engineering student in the University of San Carlos.
She has won
several titles and has achieved so much before she participated in national
pageants. She was Binibining Cebu Charity 2018, and placed 2nd
runner-up during Miss Cebu in 2016, and was also one of the Top 12 in Miss
World 2019. This year, she will represent Cebu City in Miss Universe
Philippines.
3. Apriel Smith
Smith, with
her exquisitely beautiful skin, was hailed as “The Black Barbie of Cebu” by
Danny Booc, her manager. This 23-year old beauty queen has been quite busy
collecting titles and chasing her dreams at an early age. She was Miss Little
Olympics 2010, Sinulog Festival Queen 2012, Miss Mandaue 3rd
runner-up, Miss Dumanjug 2011, Miss Cebu City Olympics 2012, and the first-ever
Binibing Cebu 2017. This year, Smith will be representing Cebu Province in Miss
Universe Philippines.
Did you know? Piczon, Smith, and Perez are all handled by one of the well-known camps in the world of Philippine pageantry, the Aces and Queens.

Chasing waterfalls is indeed one of the best hobbies any brave adventurer should experience.
Luckily, Cebu has no shortage when it comes to breathtaking waterfalls, particularly in the southern part. Samboan, a humble town in southern Cebu, boasts a variety of dazzling waterfalls and indeed, Dao Falls is one of the best.
Nat Luperte
Dao Falls’s unique magnificence makes it a
perfect weekend destination. Visually stunning, not only your visual senses
would surely be satisfied but as well as that much needed cold dip in fresh
waters.
The trek towards the falls may be tricky
and slippery but surely, it would be a rewarding one. Be noted that it would
take at least 30 minutes to reach the cascade starting from the trailhead going
to Barangay Suba.
Not only is Dao Falls considered the most beautiful in Samboan, but is also the tallest waterfall in the town, boasting an approximate height of 120 meters.

In this modern age
we often overwork ourselves to the point where we turn our backs to the pillars
of our body: our own health care. And quite recently, a lot of sicknesses and
illnesses have come to wreck our own bodies. To avoid getting sick, we must never
forget that our own health comes first, and to have a proper health care, a
good hospital should cater to your needs.

660 beds. It is also very accessible as it is located in the heart of Cebu, the

Recently, even in the -Ber months, it no longer gives a “bbrrrr” but more of a “haaaaaa” because of the intense heat. In the city, the scorching sun can be your enemy, making you weak, dehydrated, and slow. Always give yourself time to cool off, and a good place to start would be at the Middle Earth Cold Springs.
Back then, you could embrace the cold waters in Mangitngit Falls and swim in it. However, the falls had once been closed due to an accident involving death, but now it has been opened to the public once again albeit in a different way.
The falls itself has already opened, but you cannot swim in it or go too near to it. To feel the fresh and cold waters, you can go instead in Middle Earth Cold Springs.
Along with the falls is a cold spring in an establishment called the Middle Earth Mountain Resort. The name of this resort most likely stems from the fictitious land of Middle Earth, the prominent setting of the Lord of the Rings lore and the resort’s name fits it well because Middle Earth is known to be a beautiful and exotic sight to visit.
The waters of the cold spring sip right from the falls itself and the place gives a charming and relaxing vibe as you swim along. Because of this establishment, many people can swim along just fine safely. The falls is located in Carmen so expect to see stars and other heavenly objects litter the night sky.

Seventy-five years after the end of World War II, the remaining half of the WWII US Army M5A1 Stuart tank was finally dug out from the Dagusungan river in Medellin, Cebu.
Stuarts are light tanks used by the U.S. and Allied Forces which proved to be an effective armored vehicle for fighting in jungle environments. According to records, the U.S. Army initially deployed 108 Stuart light tanks to the Philippines in September 1941.
On March 7, 2020, the working force of Cebuanos from Engineer Support Battalion, 53rd Engineer Brigade, Philippine Army which were led by Capt. Czar Guitering and Ssg Peter Louie Salvatierra have literally dug out the heavy metal through the wee hours of the morning into midnight.
The 7-day operation was successfully done when the tide was at its lowest with the army’s 50-ton excavator backhoe and with the tireless work of 10 men.
Spearheading this operation is Battalion Commander LTC Ricardo Aycardo as a follow-up operation of the first extraction attempt last December 2018.
The excavated tank will be placed near Dagusunan River and might soon be another attraction in Medellin. Historians and history enthusiasts may be able to take a closer look at the tank and unearth its secrets.
