(Zaldy Comanda / MANILA BULLETIN) The NCR, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal will remain under the enhanced community quarantine until April 11 to curb the spread of COVID-19 in the region. In a statement released Wednesday night, April 7, Lingap Gabriela urged the national government to “heed the people’s calls” and focus on measures aimed to improve the country’s pandemic response. “Health professionals and various people’s organizations are reiterating the importance of #FreeMassTestingNow. The government, through its surrogates, is claiming that mass testing is an impossible feat noting the country’s ‘limited resources.’ This is categorically untrue given the bloated military and intelligence budget in this fiscal year’s General Appropriations Act,” the group stressed.
