Executive director Coco Alcuaz of the Makati Business Club said in a text message that “from a purely economic standpoint, there is a strong case to open up in a calibrated way sooner than later. But we also want the safest possible outcome when we do open up.”
A modified general quarantine was the third recommendation that the 17 mayors of the Metro Manila Council came up with on Saturday, along with their option to lock down certain villages when necessary. The first recommendation was to extend the lockdown until May 30, and the second, to adopt a more relaxed general quarantine.
Concepcion said that the third option offered the best balance between two interests—protecting public health and restarting the economy. “Balancing buhay and kabuhayan is not easy, that is why we must gradually and cautiously lift the lockdown and safely bring people back to work. This is what needs to be done to save lives, as well support the livelihoods of our MSMEs [micro, small and medium-sized enterprises],” he said.

roycanivel_inq Time .maybe for MMDA to think of organizing bus routes and schedules along EDSA before GCQ. Put order on this road to ease traffic.
roycanivel_inq Can now have 2 people who can be allowed to go out alternately, meaning 1 person at a time like here in Meyc. Do not allow groups to go out. Maintain orders through deliveries. This would be the start of calculated quarantine
roycanivel_inq philippines has the strictest lockdown in asia, but INEFFECTIVE. lockdowns are meant to cover the sorry state of public health systems and a convenient cover for leader to consolidate authoritarian rule.
