TACLOBAN CITY, Aug. 27 (PIA) -- Per Executive Order 2020-08-037, Series of 2020, the quarantine status of Tacloban City was reverted back to General Community Quarantine (GCQ) from Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ), which started on August 24 until September 8, 2020.
This is aimed to further mitigate the spread of Covid-19 in the city.
The GCQ status was implemented after Tacloban City Mayor Alfred Romualdez has requested to the National Inter-Agency Task Force on Covid 19 for the re-classification, considering the increasing number of Covid-positive cases in the city.
However, even if the city is placed under GCQ, Mayor Romualdez said that he has no plan to declare total lockdown in the city.
“I will not declare total lock down in the city because this will affect the flow of trade, commerce and government services, considering that Tacloban City is the regional center of the Eastern Visayas region,” the Mayor said.
Under the GCQ, there were some changes in the implemented guidelines such as the imposition of liquor ban, prohibition of mass gatherings, temporary closure of business establishments that are offering non-essential goods and services, and having curfew hours from 9 p.m. until 4 a.m. in the morning. Customer capacity in food establishments was also reduced from 50 percent to 30 percent, same with religious activities where a maximum of 10 persons are allowed to hear masses. QR Scan system is likewise mandatory for all business transactions, among others.

TACLOBAN CITY, August 20 (PIA) -- The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board in Region 8 (LTFRB-8), has mandated the public to use face shields aside from the face mask, when riding in public utility vehicles, starting August 15, 2020.
This Memorandum Circular 2020-033, according to LTFRB Communications Development Officer Aiken Jude Lopez during the Suruswerte ha PIA radio program hosted by PIA Director Olive Tiu, is an amendment of Memorandum Circular 2020-031, requiring drivers, conductors and passengers to wear full face shields and face masks while in public transport. This memorandum is in consonance with the mandate of the Department of Transportation or DOTr.
“This LTFRB newly implemented health protocol is for everybody’s safety and protection. This is among the precautionary measures considered against Covid-19,” Lopez said adding that this is appropriate especially in this time where there is an increasing number of Covid-positive cases in the region.”
No specific face shields are being required by the agency per LTFRB, as long as it covers the whole face and should be made of non-permeable materials, which means that liquids cannot penetrate or pass through the shield, to ensure protection of the commuters.
Lopez also said that the office has implemented other mandatory guidelines to include the observance of social distancing in public terminals and public utility vehicles, where only 50 percent of the vehicle’s passenger capacity are allowed, putting a divider between the driver and the passengers, and compliance of all standard health procedures as stated in the previous memorandum.

Tacloban City, Philippines - The Executive Committee (EXECOM) of the Eastern Visayas Health Research Consortium (EVHRDC) elected Dr. Lucia P. Dauz, former EVHRDC Coordinator, as its 2nd Consortium Director effective July 1, 2020.
Dr. Dauz took her oath of office online administered by the newly appointed Department of Science and Technology Regional Office 8 (DOST RO8) Regional Director Engr. Ernesto M. Granada at the 2nd Quarter Executive Committee Meeting via Zoom. Dr. Dauz succeeds Engr. Granada, former DOST Assistant Regional Director for Technical Operations, Region 8 and former EVHRDC Director, as the new Consortium Director.
Dr. Dauz is a Science Research Specialist II and was the Head of the Technical Consultancy Services Unit from 2005-2019. As such, she acts as the Regional Coordinator of the Manufacturing Productivity Extension (MPEX) Program. She also coordinates with Provincial S & T Centers (PSTCs) in the identification of beneficiaries from Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to avail the MPEX Program. Other functions include the supervision and provision of Technical Consultancy Services identified by PSTCs. As member of the Review and Technical Evaluation Committee (RTEC), she reviews proposals submitted by proponents identified by the Provincial S & T Centers.
For Dr. Dauz, strengthening and maintaining a strong partnership with the Department of Health and other EVHRDC member institutions in the implementation of health related activities in the region should be among its immediate priorities. Moreover, to encourage prompt completion and full utilization of EVHRDC-funded projects, she is proposing to incentivize researchers of active member institutions. In an interview, she said: “Researchers of the different member institutions are the life-blood of the consortium. They need to be challenged, capacitated and inspired to create solutions by conducting researches that would benefit the society. Despite the current pandemic crisis, all the more that the consortium should shine particularly in the area of health research.”
Present during the online installation of the new EVHRDC Director are the following: Dr. Minerva P. Molon, DOH-EVCHD Regional Director and EVHRDC Chair; Engr. Ernesto Granada, DOST 8 Regional Director and EVHRDC Co-chair; Dr. Filedito Tandinco, UPM SHS Dean and ExeCom member; Dr. Edgardo E. Tulin, VSU president and ExeCom member; Ms. Erleta S.
