Much has been said about the constant criticisms being thrown at the government with the way it responded and responding to the current crisis. However, instead of addressing the complaints, or at least confirming their veracity, more attention has been directed to the people airing the complaints, and not to the issues they raised.

PALALAWIGIN PA ANG LOCKDOWN
Malamang sa malamang ee-extend ang lockdown sa buong Luzon o baka nga sa buong Pilipinas pa. Sa akin kung ito ay makakabuti sa bawat Pilipino. no problem. At iyon din ang obserbasyon ng nakararami sa mga Pinoy. Dahil iyon ang para sa ikabubuti ng bawat Pilipino, so be it.

THE SHIP IS NOT ABANDONED
People are afraid and we seem so lost with this present global health issue, the Covid-19. A lot have died already even medical doctors. How can we be not afraid when even those who are experts in fighting off illnesses and diseases, they themselves, also fall victims to this evil disease? The whole world is trying its best to find a miracle cure which seems to be so elusive and hard to find. We have taken a lot of measures to save ourselves from catching this same disease and we have built our own wall and separated ourselves from the rest of humanity with the social distancing remedy.

A mixed message from PTF-EREID
Contrary to last week’s item in this column, Acting Gov. Shirley Abundo is not issuing an order taking over the facilities of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), which has denied requests to allow the use of its passenger terminals in Virac and San Andres as quarantine areas for arriving drivers and helpers.
Lack of unified guidelines to bring chaos
Barangay captains in the capital town of Virac who initiated last week’s meeting at Plaza Rizal to discuss issues related to the Enhanced Community Quarantine that they are implementing in their respective villages should be commended for their effort.
MAYOR EMETERIO “BONG” TARIN
Hindi mo na mahagilap iyong mga matatapang at mayayabang na mga pulitiko ngayon. Nangngulontoy din pala sila pag ang kaharap nilang kalaban ay parang mga Ninja. Pero ito talagang si Manny Pacquiao, kakaiba ang tapang. Iyong ugali niya pag nasa parisukat (ring) ay ganoon din siya kahit ang kalaban ay hindi niya kita. Pero may katapat siya rito sa Catanduanes. Hindi pa bumababa ang direktiba ni Duterte, ginagawa na niya kung ano ang dapat gagawin. Sino ba sa buong Pilipinas ang nakapamigay ng isang sakong bigas sa kanyang mga nasasakupan. Sino????
Panic in the Time of COVID-19
Panic is part and parcel of all epidemics that have plagued man since the beginning of time. As the poet Lucretius writes in his On the Nature of Things [1] on the Plague of Athens (430 BC): “And sudden stress and poverty to many an awful act impelled.”
On the Beauty and Essence of Life
Life as it is today is not beautiful. It is filled up with health issues, divisiveness, inconveniences, and sufferings from almost all aspects of our life. I hate to drive and pass all those checkpoints and I hate to stay in line for an hour, under the heat of the sun, and with a face mask on my face, just to buy my medicines and some basic needs (Marlboro, not included). Only those people who are living in a world of “make-believe” can say otherwise. Looking at our present situation from all sides, we can say that this is bad, and this is evil.
Masuerteng mga consejal
An hapot man sa mga barangay nin Virac, ngata daa ta bakong parareho. Iguang tolong kilo, an iba lima, an iba duwa iguang cabanga. Masabotan man daa cotana kung pariwanagon nin barangay kung duwang kilo hari sa sainda y an dagdag hari man sa municipio, alagad dae man pigapasabot an natawan na familia.
