The national government already announce the other day the extension of the said order for Luzon until April 30 but of course, local government across the country follows the same. It is said that this is upon the recommendation of the experts. They do this for the safety of everyone. This time, they are to punish violators and the police and military were ordered to implement the order firmly and strictly. There are many poor people and low earners individuals in my country. They cry for help on how they will survive. The help from the government is not sufficient and at the same time very slow. One month more under this situation I think will be the beginning of another problem. This is going to be another sad chapter of the history. For me, the effect is also begginning to play around on my part.

Things have to weighed from all sides and I guess that's what the government sees best so as not to waste all the quarantine efforts should it not be extended. These are hard times indeed but cases are still rising so the need for extension.

@ZedSmart I'm sure that's what ANY government would want to do exactly for their people. But its always easier said than done. Sometimes its just not enough and other factors play as well. People should also be patient. You cannot depend everything on the government. You cannot just say 'everything should be fast' though that's what is needed in this time. But sadly, not everything is as efficient as we would want it to be and blaming the government wouldn't be of any help. There's just so much, so much expected on them not just expected but they are accountable to deliver and make action that things just doesn't end well all the time. Just trust the process... what can you do anyway? what can those who doesn't have the means do anyway?

@pitsipeahie Yes, most.likely some would say let's not blame or rely everything to the government. That's right because each of us is responsible for ourselves but it just sad that all of us are not fortunate. One has to work to meet ends. I know that this is a big problem that's why we cannot just blame other people also to go out and look for ways for survival because they cannot depend on the government help only. This is really difficult for the government and the poor people.

There is quarantine in parts of my country and curfew in more. The best is not to go anywhere if you don´t have to.
