(File photo) May 06, 2021 THE Cebu City Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is not allowing yet “Operation Tuli or holding of circumcision in the city.
Cebu City Councilor Joel Garganera, EOC deputy chief implementer, said it would be hard to still follow the health protocols during the process of circumcision.
Garganera said most of the children will cry and shout during the operation which would result in the spread of the droplets in the particular area.
Citing existing studies, when a person shouts, the droplets can spread six feet and beyond.
He said it would also be hard for the one undertaking the circumcision to do the operation while wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE).

+ May 06, 2021 SUMMER is that time of year when, to quote a poem by the Cebuano poet Rene Estela Amper, the village hatchet Tasyo would “split the skin of our young lizards to make us a man many years ago.”
The cutting is especially performed during this time when the little boys are not in school, and would have ample time to take a sea swim for the wound’s healing. All the grimace while they held on to their oversized shirt to ensure it doesn’t rub on their swollen danglers.
Then there’s the swagger and the gloating over their lesser buddies who shy away from what seemed like a bloody ordeal. The boys have become a man, have passed the initiation as evidenced by that scowling bull down there.
