Is Bulacan under ECQ, MECQ, GCQ or MGCQ? This is the most common question we receive in our inbox every month. We wanted to have a logbook that can track the community quarantine status of our province. This logbook will serve as an independent watchdog for our reference.
We will be updating this article every time the quarantine classification of our province changes. We fully support the anti-COVID program of the Philippine government, but it is our civic duty to criticize their lapses, whiff of corruption, and blatant abuse of authority. There should always be accountability in everything they do. #WeHealAsOne.
