Just to clarify! MB Had Wrong Headline But Correct News Story

The Manila Bulletin posted a misleading headline on a news item about my proposal on the easing of lockdowns in COVID-Free Areas in Mindanao.

The MB headline said “Lift Total Lockdown in Mindanao to make way for Planting Season – Piñol.”

In my original post earlier, the essence of the suggestion was very clear in the headline “COVID-FREE MINDANAO AREAS SHOULD EASE UP LOCKDOWNS.”

Ang sinasabi namin, yong mga lugar sa Mindanao na wala namang reports ng PUMs or PUIs ever since the Pandemic struck the country could already expand the ECQ from barangay and town-wide to province-wide.

Maraming mga areas sa Mindanao ang walang ni isa mang report ng COVID sa nakalipas na halos 2 months.

Pero hirap gumalaw ang mga tao dahil kada barangay at kada munisipyo may sariling lockdown at curfew.

Ang aking panukala ay palawakin ang ECQ sa mga probinsya na walang COVID incidents para libreng makagalaw ang mga food producers at makapag umpisa uli ang mga negosyo.

Obviously, doon sa mga areas na may kaso ng COVID, the recommendation does not apply.

Tama naman ang laman ng story ng Manila Bulletin, mali lang ang title.
