Lapu-Lapu City and Mandaue City were the first to be recommended to be placed under MECQ for a 15-day period. Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes and Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard “Ahong” Chan have already sent appeals to the national government on Thursday.However, Roque emphasized in his briefing that the local government units may still appeal their quarantine status, even if there are barely two days prior to the implementation of the new quarantine status.Cebu leaders have yet to comment on this new pronouncement as of this posting.

NCR mayors to seek two-week ECQ in meeting with IATFWhile it is against a hard lockdown, the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry believes the country really has no choice but to implement this, citing problems on the pandemic response. 'We are very strongly against total lockdown but at the same time wala naman tayong ibang (we do not have any other) solution. Other than a lockdown, what else can we do to contain the virus? It's the only way out,' Kung ang naiisip lang na solution is lockdown and nothing else Para lang sa kanilang ika bubuti...hindi para sa kapwa. Nag iisip ba sila?!!? Magiging domino effect ito Aug 1 is less than 2 days away. Hopefully there is a few days to make arrangements and prepare.

No walk-ins allowed in Cebu City Vax centersCEBU CITY, Philippines — The Cebu City Health Department (CHD) is appealing to the public not to go to the vaccination center when they have not received a schedule yet. Dr. Jeffrey Ibones, CHD head, said that the public had been flocking to the vaccine sites where the first dose for the A4 priority group […] Now that the mighty delta is here, please open more vaccination sites and make it 24/7. Time is of the essence. Consider this scenario. Knowing delta is already around, and sinovac isnt delta resilient, would people go to vax centers if they know it’s sinovac that will be jabbed? It’s not vax hesitancy. Vax brand availability. The way the Cebu City government is handling vaccination sites is a mess. There's no clear system put in place and why not allow walk-ins? You should vaccinate as many as you can to avoid a disaster with the Delta variant already here.
