THAT’S the reporting I wanted to hear ...

my in laws are in Cavite (nw of Manila ... but in an older gated community like yours) and they too have a shopping limit

I haven’t heard anything about cops at the door but there IS a rice donation ... I think 2 kilos a week or something ..
it is all new to everyone

Good thing mama went to cookin’ school, eh ?

Mama always was a good cook, and she is still in it, but they stopped until this virus thing is over. She will just have certificates now. She has a gate pass, to go out to grocery stores and drug stores. If the cops stop them randomly, they just say I am going to the grocery store, even if they have other intentions in mind.

Duterte talks tough, but the common folk respect him for his war on drug dealers that have harmed poor folks families via theft, and addiction in family members...but there is a lot of hunger getting worse in the unemployed due to the quarantine. Our mayor just went to the poor neighborhoods to give out sacks of rice and even some live chickens... and I suspect it is worse in the slums of Manila.

However, while the Wuhan flu is in the headlines, China has expanded their fake islands in the West Philippine sea, and are harassing Filipino fishermen and even the US Navy who routinely patrol in that area to keep the sea lanes (from the Middle East to Japan and Korea) open.

That, by the way, is the reason that they fired that hysterical captain of an air craft carrier: essentially he removed an aircraft carrier from the US Navy by publicity about a few dozen sick sailors. So now China knows how to get rid of the US Navy.

Dr. Leonard McCoy would certainly lose his voice from all of the “He’s dead Jim” pronouncements.
