No less than Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and U.S. President Donald Trump have signed the petition.

Community Quarantine Made Simple

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) –  Many Filipinos have complained of the confusion brought about by their government’s levels and guidelines on community quarantine as part of the fight against Covid-19.

Not even Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque or Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin Andanar could come up with a (actress) Kim Chiu-type explanation of ECQ, MECQ, GCQ or MGCQ.

In the interest of public service, The Adobo Chronicles has come up with a simpler infographic that translates the various community quarantine levels into color codes.

We apologize to our non-Tagalog speaking readers, but an English translation of the quarantine guidelines is not currently available.  But seek the help of a Filipino near you.
