Just been reminded how as kids, it was so natural for us to choose our class leaders. Almost always, we choose the most intelligent, most accomplished student among us. We never elected someone who was not good and active in school. Wonder what changed when we became adults?.

Remember Mang Arnel, the Filipino fisherman who bravely took on 2 fast boats from the China Coast Guard but was chased away? .He circled the huge CCG 3105 ship in an apparent show of protest right after the chase, his mother boat joining in and sailed close to the foreign vessel.

8 now dead in the Philippines because of the Corona-19 outbreak. With 64 cases as of March 13, the mortality rate is 12.5%, way higher than the 3.5% in China. But experts say the higher mortality is only because there is not enough testing of Covid-19 in the Philippines.

Some people might be missing the point. The release of water is not the issue. Proper dissemination of information is. Was it done ahead of time, was it clear, was it understandable? Ilan kaya ang nakaintindi sa X number of gates open releasing X cubic meters/second? π.

The best way to prevent the rapid spread of Covid-19, while we are awaiting widespread testing, is to assume we are a carrier but are asymptomatic. It means we do everything we can NOT TO INFECT OTHERS. Letβs all be considerate. Limit movement, maintain social distancing.
