San Idelfonso, Bulacan: Yup, everyone gets a live chicken as their relief goods. Yup, everyone in the provinces knows how to slaughter a live chicken, just not people like me who live in the city. My dudes, kids are raised to handle a long knife in areas just two hours away from my city. Why a live chicken? Because not everyone has a refrigerator at home, or even electricity 24/7.
Whatās going on in my corner of the universe?
So the Prez said it was ok to shoot people resisting authority and breaking quarantine. People took that to mean itās ok to shoot people if they think theyāre breaking quarantine, even if those people might be medics out late at night or volunteer guards patrolling their compounds.
Itās almost week 4 of the quarantine and low-income people are getting arrested who may have been baited by the police to leave their houses to receive relief goods. Considering that the police have been hating on that particular community for a while nowā¦ yeah, they just wanted to kill the poor.
People are basically choosing to leave their houses in search of food / work because there IS no food coming in, especially for the urban poor. The government basically asked people to either die at home of hunger or die outside of the virus. The migrant workers based in provinces, if they were lucky to get home, may or may not get a better deal: some of them win the lottery and get a sack of rice and a live chicken (as in Gapan City; meanwhile San Ildefonso (above) gives out a live chicken but less rice as seen in the photo) while others end up homeless on the streets stranded before they get to their home provinces (that may or may not be doing a good job).
My district DID get some relief goods: three packs of noodles and three kilos of rice. The source of this news? Me.
There are major troll wars going on in Twitter, and I am so glad I do not have a twitter account.
China has resumed spooking us with their boats claiming the northern and north-eastern parts of the countryās waters. Business as usual.
Plus various other bits of news I canāt believe all happened within two weeks.
Meanwhile in my city, grocery store prices are shooting up. Will we get a food shortage? Most likely, we arenāt the most self sustaining bunch, not by a long shot, especially not the capital which by far doesnāt have a single agricultural brain cell. That being said, I still have food and we still have a grocery store supplying food. Iām not sure if in two months weāll have the same government considering how intense the online wars and daily drama are these days. I canāt believe these people have time to oppress the population with a virus running around, because even the police and politicians are starting to die from exposure to it.
