Guidelines: Cebu now under Enhanced Community Quarantine

It’s official.

Cebu Province, including independent cities – Cebu City, Mandaue City and Lapu-Lapu City, has been placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ).

Local Government Officials have already announced and signed the respective Executive Orders issuing the Enhanced Community Quarantine and its supporting information.

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 the “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.

Effectivity:

  • Cebu Province – Effective today as stated by Gov. Gwen Garcia
  • Cebu City – 12:00 NN, March 28, 2020 until 12:00NN of April 28, 2020 or unless sooner lifted or withdrawn
  • Mandaue City – 12:01 AM, March 29, 2020
  • Lapu-Lapu City – 12:01 AM, March 29, 2020

How to get a quarantine / ECQ pass?

Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) passes are for free and not for sale. One pass is allocated per household.

The pass should be presented when you’re outside your house to buy basic necessities in behalf of your family or when out for work.

There are two (2) options to get your ECQ pass:

  • Door-to-door delivery: May vary. Some municipalities or cities will be delivering your passes directly to your house. Distribution usually takes within 3 days.
  • Barangay Hall: In most cases, you will need to get it from the barangay hall.

In Cebu City, there are four (4) different color types of ECQ passes:

  • RED Pass: for Government Officials
  • WHITE Pass: for Crisis Management Team and frontliners
  • BLUE Pass: for NON-Cebu City Residents
  • GREEN Pass: for Cebu City Residents

NOTE: This page will be regularly updated as local government units further specify the guidelines. Make sure to bookmark this page, or follow Sugbo.ph on Facebook.

Spreading fake news faces up to P1 million fine or 2-month jail time amid CoVID-19

Spreading fake news faces up to P1 million fine or 2-month jail time amid CoVID-19

This is certainly not the right time to joke and spread fake news.

The Philippines’ law enforcement agencies will run after the sources of false information about the novel coronavirus disease (CoVID-19) on social media and if found will be fined with up to P1 million or jail time of two months. This is under the “Bayanihan to Heal as One Act” recently signed by President Duterte.

“We appeal to our countrymen not to listen to any false news or untrue information designed not only to mislead but also to create panic and anxiety.”

– Salvador Panelo, Presidential Spokesperson

This is also a reminder for all of us to follow Ms. Universe 2015, Pia Wurtzbach’s advice, “Think before you click”.

The specific “offenses” that would be penalized under the law in the Senate Bill No. 1418 are:

“Individuals or groups creating, perpetuating, or spreading false information regarding the COVID-19 crisis on social media and other platforms.”

“Such information having no valid or beneficial effect on the population, and are clearly geared to promote chaos, panic, anarchy, fear, or confusion; and those participating in cyber incidents that make use or take advantage of the current crisis situation to prey on the public through scams, phishing, fraudulent emails, or other similar acts.”

Okada pledges P50 million aid amid CoVID-19 crisis

We have yet another private institution standing side-by-side with the government in our rally against COVID-19.

Okada Manila, a luxury casino resort and hotel in Manila, pledged P50M through the Okada Foundation.

With the continuous plead of our medical personnel for support, Okada Foundation adhered to the calling of helping our frontliners. Okada Manila will be donating P25M to the Lung Center of the Philippines (LCP) and another P25M to the Philippine Heart Center (PHC).

With the continuous rising of cases in the nation, we need more philanthropists and companies to help in aiding our medical personnel so they would be able to continue healing our patients.

Okada Foundation said that the donation would be used by the hospitals to purchase needed items in their combat against COVID-19.

“Okada Manila stands united with all medical frontliners whose selfless acts of service help keep the nation safe,”

With the never-ending support of generous individuals, foundations, and companies, may more of the aforementioned be inspired to help the nation.

Cebuano band ‘The Sundown’ releases new single ‘UwU’

After all the negative news we’ve been hearing, it’s high time we take a break and read something new.

If all that you’ve ever done since the home quarantine period was listen to music, you’ve got something new for your playlist.

The Sundown Cebu

The Sundown, a Cebuano band, aptly named because of their music suited for playing during sunsets, will be releasing a new single “UwU” on March 26 on all streaming platforms. Though the song was previously written during 2018, it is only now that the song has been ready for release.

The song “UwU” is perfect for the home-quarantine period because it’s about reminiscing all the good and bad moments you have spent with someone. This song claims to flash back all the memories down the line so make sure you set your volume at high.

The Sundown members:

  • Aaron Domingo (vocalist)
  • Vincent James Eco (guitarist)
  • Gino Rosales (guitarist)
  • Alden Panes (drummer)
  • Luigi Balazo (bassist)

With all that is happening around us, it could get overwhelming. Let’s all take a step back, collect our thoughts, reminisce, breathe, smile, pray, and listen to good Cebuano music.

Cebu City to launch 15 ‘Mobile Palengke’ units to lessen public market trips

The announcement of Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in the whole Cebu province and some independent cities in Cebu has sent the people to the doors of every grocery. 

Though this is a misconception since the grocery stores will still be open in an ECQ, going out is still a risk. 

Well, worry not Cebuanos because 15 mobile markets are coming to you. They will go around Cebu City during the enhanced community quarantine period and serve the Sugboanons.

They have not yet announced the specific areas where these mobile markets will be placed. Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella have suggested though that these mobile markets be placed in mountain areas to limit the movements of the residents living there.

The mobile markets will be selling:

  • fruits
  • vegetables
  • meat
  • others

Labella said that there are plans for more suppliers to have a mobile market too.

As it seems, not just travel, but good coffee can wait too. 

With all the Enhanced Community Quarantine being imposed everywhere in the country, Starbucks Philippines has recently announced the temporary closure of all their stores in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

While it is disheartening to not be able to have a taste of our favorite coffee, the safety of everyone is much more important. Caring for our community is the top priority.

Starbucks has also provided frontliners with food and beverages. These frontliners include the medical personnel, law enforcement personnel, NGO volunteers, and other organizations.

Uniqlo donates P10 million for Food Assistance and PPE’s for CoVID-19 frontliners

“The Filipino spirit is stronger together and we will get through this together.”

Reading about new private institutions pledging whatever they can to battle with the nation is overwhelming, and then we receive news about doing whatever they can to support the government. There are also brands whom we have been loving, are being one with the whole nation. These news lift a bit of our worries away.

Uniqlo, an international brand of clothing, will also be pledging their own for our frontliners. They will be donating P10 million to the SM Foundation to be used for food assistance and personal protective equipment (PPEs) for our modern day heroes.

With more and more people and companies helping our nation with her combat against COVID-19, may all the pledges be allocated to the rightful people and may more corporations and individuals help us rise from this pandemic.
