People in the Philippines react differently and in the most idiotic way. Other countries executed lockdowns with not much trouble. And Ph just crying over it and complaining. Stubborn and not following caused further spread yet they blame others.

with incompetent govt officials more people will suffer

I'm not 100% sure but I think under the memorandum outlined by the president the other night, if a province has at least 2 cases coming from 2 different towns or cities, that province can already impose area quarantine. Will Batangas be imposing a province wide quarantine?
