A month-long lockdown to combat the spread of the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 has emptied the normally bustling streets of Metro Manila. The Philippine capital and surrounding areas have been sealed off since March 15, 2020, after authorities suspended all domestic land, sea and air traffic.

ABSOULETLY AGREE. Did I Say Soul? Yes! This Covid 19 is a Blessing In Disguise Too. Matagal Kona Din Yan Iniisip Bago Pa Magkaroon Ng Corona Virus Outbreak Globally. What Im Talking About Is To Have A Law Legislated Called "Earth Day Act" This will Enforce A One Month Lockdown Nationwide Every Year To Promote The Resurgence Of Mother Natures Green Atmosphere Once Again. Thankfully, Covid 19 na Mismo Din Ang Nagpatupad Ng Idea Ko And I Hope Maging Lesson Din Sa Atin Ito Na We Atleast Need To Enforce 1 Month Lockdown Every Year To See A Great Result. Before Being Implemented, The Government Should atleast Prepare A Two Month Allocation Of Enough Budget For The Labor Forces Whom Are Temporarily Unemployed To Stabilize Our Economy.

@ronniecadiz9633 4 жыл бұрын

This is absolutely amazing, I hope the Philippines would decentralized Manila Metropolitan or Metro Manila to decongest the Metropolis. That would be a massive change to our country because Manila and it's neighbouring cities are heavily congested by commuters, Public Utility Vehicles and Transportation services. That is the reason why the government of our country cannot upgrade these transportation services and also lack of infrastructure is also a problem to traffic jams. I hope that they will do this Federalization movement rather than communists movements.
