But as there are no economic activities, what is to tax? It can of course borrow from the public through a bond flotation for example, or from Bangko Sentral and/or IFIs. It can also simply resort to expansionary monetary policy, i.e. print more money at risk of inflationary effects of such a move. Whatever government does, it has to somehow try to keep the economic engine running lest it grounds to a full halt.

Miyembro ng Valenzuela City Epidemiology Unit gumawa ng bahay-bahay na covid-19 testing. Ito marahil ang pinakatamang dapat ginagawa ng mga taga-DOH para malaman kung sinu-sino at kung ilan sa bawat pamilya ang may tama.
Holy Week on Lockdown Status
The Holy Week celebration this year is so different from all the celebrations we had in the past years. Churches are closed due to the lock down status in our country because of this Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, celebrations were done on private by priests with some ministers only and people can only watch inside their homes via live streaming or through some TV networks airing the Holy Week celebrations in some churches in the mainland.

Silence and darkness in the war against COVID-19
Take some time to read the following excerpt from an opinion piece in a recent issue of the Daily Mirror, a national daily tabloid in the United Kingdom: “Without journalism, coronavirus would kill more people. Take a moment to think about what the world would be without us.” For a government to order its constituents to stay at home, it needed the media to communicate to the nation the seriousness of the message.
Criticize, if you must.

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.

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.
