OK lang ma extend ang ECQ, suportahan na muna ng gobyerno ang pangailangan ng mga apektado, and mas OK kung magkarun muna ng Mass testing then saka na pag desisyunan kung i - lift na ba, o dahan dahan lang...

Sang-ayon din ako sa extension.
Sa palagay ko ginawang good for two months yung Social Amelioration Program dahil naisipan na din nilang i-extend ang ECQ.
Tungkol sa Mass testing, hindi yata nila magagawa yan bago matapos ang April 12. Ayon sa mga naunang pahayag, April 14 pa gagawin sa mga PUMs at PUIs.

I think there's no doubt na mae-extend talaga ang ECQ by at least 2 weeks or a month. Considering the statement by General Galvez ika nga:

"With the announcement of the Chief Implementer, [retired] General Galvez, that mass testing can only be conducted on April 14, which is still 11 days from now, we are left with no other choice but to extend the ECQ by at least two weeks," he said.

"Mass testing of persons under monitoring and persons under investigation is the only way to determine if we are winning the war or not. Without mass testing, we are totally blind," he added.

Interior Secretary Eduardo Año earlier said an extension is not advisable as this would hurt the country's economy.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque, four days ago, said it was too early to say if the implementation of the Luzon-wide quarantine should be prolonged.

Totoo naman talaga na bulag tayo sa biggest possibilities behind. Hindi natin alam exact case or even the closest possible amount of cases we already have in this country. Mass testing to PUIs and PUMs lang makakapagdala somehow ng clear vision sa kalagayan natin dito sa bansa. Thus, further decisions might come up whether to lift up exclusively either sa mga businesses (since babagsak na ang ekonomiya natin, or sa school matters which is malabo) or unfortunate man tingnan we might even experience longer ECQ kasi siyempre magkakaroon pa ng contact tracing 'yan para ma-isolate na agad mga possible carrier or not.

Bukod pa rito, sinusuportahan na rin ni VP Leni Robredo itong extension. Here's the source:

MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Leni Robredo said Sunday she will support an extension of the enhanced community quarantine, but underscored that it was “crucial” for the government to explain to the people why it was necessary and that assistance should be expedited.

Since nag-lead na si VP Leni Robredo, panigurado may ba-back na rin sa idea na 'to. The biggest problem is:

“Pero crucial para mag-cooperate ang mga tao, crucial na naiintindihan nila kung bakit kailangan gawin. Kung hindi nila naiintindihan bakit kailangan gawin, ‘yung resistance nandyan,” she said.

(It’s crucial that for people to cooperate, they need to understand why we need to do this. If they can’t understand why, there will be resistance.

The vice president also believes that the local government units instead of the Department of Social Welfare and Development would know better about the processing the national government’s social amelioration program.

“Ako naniniwala ako na ang LGU ang dapat gumagawa nito. Ang LGU yung may sense kung ano talaga ang nangyayari on the ground, LGU ang nakakaalam ng landscape,” she said.

Let me highlight 'yong biggest problem

‘yung resistance nandyan

Well, resistance once again. Feeling ko kahit saan naman lumugar gobyerno 'di na mawawala 'tong pag-alma lalo na itong 1 month pa lang na ECQ marami na nakaramdam ng hirap at 'di nakipag-cooperate what more 'yong possible extension pa?

Talk about LGUs naman. Once again, mangunguna nanaman mga competitive, and diligent mayors natin diyan given na sila Mayor Vico, Mayor Isko, at Mayor Rex nakakaawa man tingnan 'yong QC pero sana naman once this possible ECQ extension ay maexecute, ay kumilos naman for the better 'tong si Mayor Joy.

Baka may mga napapaisip na dito ng kung ano-ano. Here's another good news mga kabayan:
