Keep safe.

Maagap na aksyon ang aking ipinag-utos matapos matanggap ang ulat ukol sa diumano ay nakatakas na Covid-19 positive patient.

Sa pinagsanib-pwersa ng City Health Office, City Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Office at PNP, agarang nahanap at na-isolate ang pasyente sa Asean Convention Center sa Clark, Pampanga.

Tinututukan din natin ang contact-tracing at mahigpit na pagmomonitor sa mga lugar kung saan namalagi at nagpunta ang nasabing pasyente kasama ang diumano’y kanyang girlfriend. Masusing disinfection din ang isinagawa sa Brgy. San Rafael Barangay Hall at sa Fiesta Communities San Rafael.

Pinulong at inatasan ko rin ang ilang myembro ng kapulisan at barangay council ng San Rafael na maging istrikto sa pagbabantay rito.

Manatili po tayong kalmado at patuloy na makipagtulungan sa pamahalaan upang mailayo tayo sa nakababahalang covid-19. Makakaasa po kayo na hindi po tayo titigil sa pagpapatupad ng mga hakbangin upang maging ligtas ang mga kapwa Tarlakenyo.

Sama-sama tayong manalangin para sa kaligtasan ng lahat. Nawa'y malampasan natin ang sitwasyong ito sa awa at lugod ng Poong Maykapal.

NEWS: LGUs urged to provide gadgets instead of cash aid

In an effort to ensure the smooth implementation of flexible learning for the coming school year, Tarlac State University (TSU) sought the support of the 3rd District Local Government Units (LGUs) and Cong. Noel Villanueva in its final consultative meeting at the Main AVR, TSU Main Campus today.

Instead of scholarship grants, Dr. Myrna Q. Mallari, university president, encouraged Cong. Villanueva and Mayors to provide gadgets and improved e-learning tools that students can use for distance learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“TSU can deliver quality education; we have the capability to deliver quality education. Ang problema po ay ang mga estudyante natin. Paano po tayo magtutulungan para sa kanila?” Mallari stated.

She also emphasized the university’s need for help from LGUs in encouraging the students in their respective municipalities to enroll as TSU aims to administer a more inclusive and flexible means of learning.

Cong. Noel L. Villanueva, District Representative of Tarlac, expressed his concerns towards the methods of delivering flexible learning for technical courses that could not be held online, such as engineering.

“How can we find means to deliver flexible learning in higher education? How could we meet these challenges and demands? Paano natin mabibigay ang pangangailangan ng mga estudyante natin?” Villanueva asked.

To address this concern, Concepcion, Tarlac Mayor Andy Lacson explained that they are planning on producing a digital classroom in their municipality.

“Plano po namin sa Concepcion na gumawa ng digital classroom sa munisipyo: sa Matrimonial Hall, Session Hall, and sports complex. Ang mga digital classroom ay may screen, headset, at few sets of laptops. Ang mga basketball courts ay nakaplano na rin na lagyan ng WiFi connection.”

Meanwhile, Mayor Reynaldo Catacutan of Capas and Mayor Venus Jordan of La Paz also shared that they are partnering with Converge and Smart respectively as internet service providers for the basketball courts and gymnasiums in their area.

Maaring magpatuloy ang enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), o magkaroon ng modified ECQ, ayon kay Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque. Tinitingnan din ng gobyerno kung ipapatupad na lamang ang ECQ sa base sa geographical location.

"Tingin ko, malinaw na hindi pa puwedeng mawala ang quarantine. Ang posibilidad ay magpatuloy ang ECQ as is, o di naman kaya magkaroon ng modified [one]," pahayag ni Roque.

"At ilan sa mga proposals na narinig ko doon sa huling pagpupulong noong araw ng Tuesday ay 'yung modification base sa geographical location, modification base sa comorbidity, at modification base sa industriya," dagdag niya.
