[아시아뉴스통신=조날드 타파난 기자] Alarmed by the rising cases of COVID-19 in the country, Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go renewed his plea to the public to strictly follow the health and safety protocols particularly wearing of face masks, physical distancing and washing of hands.
He made this appeal as he commended the government for including the giving of 20 million free face masks for the poor in its new strict guidelines for the return of the second most strict Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ) in Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal.
He noted that this initiative can create jobs for local makers of washable face masks and, at the same time, can save lives by distributing these free face masks to those who cannot afford to buy their own, particularly the beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) and other poor Filipinos.
