He has extended the "state of calamity"  not Lockdown

This allowed the government to access more emergencey funds and give a few more powers

I would remind those that live or wish to live in the Philippines about the cyber libal laws here

Yes, access to funds is the most important.

Look at the original declaration that is being extended. It includes the initial  quarantine. The rate of increase is not lower now than it was then. Unless the mindset is changed by suchas those in other link why do you think anything will change? Variations of quarantine are continuing and will continue. Social distance, mask, limit on who can travel and who can come in show no total end in site and no one can show other evidence. locations continue to flare up and then be put under more strict form for tme periods. no sign of end to this and no sign that any thing less than mgcq will be in effect anywhere for months. And what are emergency fund needed for anyway? Dealing with the various level of quarantine in effect is the main reason.

and he should also clarify who he is refering to with libel?

seems more aimed at those calling dictator someone who is implementing steps that have kept Philippines among lowest death and infection rate in the world

Not that the post is a political comment parse, but some of the comments here are very close to it.

As you may or may not know it is illegal for any non citizen to partake in political rallies in the Philippines.  These can be either physical rallies or non physical. 

I am ultimately, as many of you may be, am not a citizen of the Philippines, rather a guest  here on a VISA, as granted by the Government.  I respect the rights of the democracy in the Philippines and part of that is following the laws of the Philippines.

And a big guess what?  That is the same for any country in the world.  Unless you are are citizen your are a guest and may be deported at any time.

"some" no

one person

eduardo has made two insulting political comments

and moderator should delete his two comments

i add this so no one is confused about what is political by those who beat around the bush

for those who do not know that declaration of calamity is what began the lockdowns to start with

and when calamity is extended lockdown is also

and like Department of Tourism stated international tourism is locked down until latter half next year

lockdown may be modified to less or more but still extended

(they do also say "unless lifted or extended (beyond the one year)" let's hope for lifted)

Wonder why a Taiwanese expat in Malaysia is so concerned about the Philippines.   Planning on moving to the Philippines soon?

dmoestic tourism gradually opening in october this year

but dont think that if numbers increase they will hesitate to change that

that is what you call lockdown no other words for it just varying level of it

My previous post seems to have been deleted??? Anyway I'll repeat what I just said:

With the ongoing mass job losses being faced by locals/returning OFW's (which now appears to be the worst in the 'SEA' region). I don't see local tourism will be priority anymore even with the massive discounts offered.
Further to that any local tourism still excludeds all seniors above 60.

cuz I live in Philippines and other reasons none of your business

I do not have to put my whole story in the profile even though I know a lot of assumptions made by people who think that works better than addressing the topic.

so you got a comment on topic or just attack the messenger?

I know you want to gin up conspiracy theory about me but can you pls address the topic? Is that too much to ask?

And I could also ask why some one in America is so concerned about my concern with the Philippines. But why would i?

Your headline is completely misleading.

From the article: This measure allowed local government units to access their quick response funds to respond to the health crisis.

That was in response to declaring a calamity in March. This does not mean lockdowns are extending.

I agree. I scanned the article cited iin the first post,  and I didn't find either "quarantine" or "lockdown" in that article. What I did find is a typo: "in a timeline manner" which should have read "in a timely manner" (emphasis added). Or if the person quoted actually said "timeline",  it should have been written as "in a timeline [sic] manner".

The article talked about Duterte's extension of the "state of calamity" which allows local governments to tap into their emergency quick response fund with regards to Covid-19 related health and medical assistance to various sectors and law enforcement.

Though not mentioned in the article, declaring a state of calamity also implies that limits on the prices of goods and services would be enforced to prevent opportunistic sellers from gouging the price of their goods and / or services.

I see Jesse still hasn't responded. He's probably not used to being called out on his lies lol

I am busy. We do not all have time to drink and post.

And if you take the time to study the subject you would see logic mr conspiracy theory.

You are the person who sais that philippine government doing lockdown when you say coonavirus is no big deal. You said it and that is your conspiracy theory.

When they say point blank that international travel is suspended for another year that is lockdown.

Are you still under quarantine? You are. Do you think it lifted anytime soon?

Quarantine runs from ECQ to MECQ to GCQ to MGCQ

MGCQ is the lowest restriction of lockdown that you will see in foreseeable future.

What was extended was the order that gave legal authority for lockdown. You can read the links. Whether you can understand is another question.

Not my fault that you are not literate enough to understand the restrictions and the definition of lockdown.

guess you think you are not under quarantine right now

Mods said that name calling not allowed but I guess there is exception for extremists who say that there is no need for quarantine as yourself who call me liar .

and also...english is my second language

i have to slwo down to get it written right or understood right

so what is your second language mr call me a liar? gibrish?
