The BPOC, BDRRMC and BHERT joined in information dissemination within the barangay regarding community response against COVID-19 by using the megaphone and posting of IEC materials in front of sari-sari stores: 

"Magandang Araw Po Sa Ating Lahat, Mga Kabarangay!"

- Bawal po ngayon ang mag inuman ng alak sa labas ng bahay, hinuhuli po ng pulis at ng barangay ang ma-aktuhang umiinom ng alak sa labas ng bahay as per our City Mayor Benjamin Magalong. Hindi rin po tino-tolerate o pinapayagan ang paglalabas ng bahay ng hindi naman kinakailangan at ang pagkumpol-kumpol ng mga tao sa mga tindahan, kanto at iba pang public places sa barangay."

- Ang schedule po natin sa Baguio City Public Market ay status quo, yung dati pa rin po, di pa po nagbago.

- Ang mga sari-sari stores po ay kailangang open na lamang from 5 A.M. to 8 P.M. po.

- Para po sa mga displaced workers pero hindi napasama sa listahan na nauna nang naisubmit sa DSWD, paki-approach po ang barangay kagawad na sumsakop sa inyong purok para sabihin na kayo ay displaced workers para kung may next na intake/submission of names for food packs ay kasali na po kayo.

- For motorcycles, bawal angkas na daw po ngayon dahil sa daming nag-aangkas ay grossly violated na daw po ang social distancing na isang protocol ng ECQ. Bawal ang angkas na daw po ngayon.

- Reiterating that everyone must always observe social distancing of at least 1 meter from each other and kung kayo naman po ay lalabas gamit ang sasakyan ay panatilihin ang 1 seat apart inside the vehicle, always wear facemask and always use disinfectant especially before and after touching gadgets or things na madalas hinahawakan din ng ibang tao gaya ng ATM keypad, door knobs, railings, atbp.

- Reiterating also na 24 hours curfew po para sa mga bata, naka home quarantine po dapat sila hangga't maaari, Sa mga adults naman po, ang paglabas lang po sana ay upang bumili ng basic needs, magtrabaho, o kung merong medical emergency. Mas lalo lang po tayong mai-istriktohan kung di natin sundin ang mga rules, guidelines, and protocols ng enhanced community quarantine, Luzon lockdown, at ng national state of calamity.

- Marami pong nagtatanong kung may facemask sa brgy hall for distribution, wala po, yung wala pong facemask, pwede pong pantakip sa bibig at ilong ang scarf, panyo, at ibang cloth na nilagyan ng cord o tali upang hindi madaling matanggal.

- Ngayong sunday po ay open ang ating brgy hall for transaction and monitoring with regards to the enhanced community quarantine and the national calamity status ng bansa, kung may transaction po kayo sa barangay hall ay pwede po kayong pumunta duon provided po na sundin nyo ang ECQ protocols at kung maaari ay isang tao lang per household ang pumunta duon.

- Kung mananatili pong matigas ang ating ulo at hindi sinusunod ang mga inilalatag na panuntunan ay baka po mas lalong tatagal ang lockdown at quarantine ng community, at baka po mas lalong maghihigpit ito o kaya ay ma-lockdown ang  buong barangay, kaya sumunod na lang po tayo and police your own family, kins and friends po.

- Salamat and stay COVID-19 free always."

MARCH 21, 2020 | BPOC RELEASES UPDATES ON ENHANCED COMMUNITY QUARANTINE RULES, AND GOVERNMENT AID PROVISIONS

BPOC Social Media Post on MArch 21, 2020: 

"- Iwasan po muna natin ang mga labis na pag-iinom ng alak with barkadas sa loob ng bahay, sa araw at gabi, sa gitna ng kalamidad, ipinagbabawal na din po ang ganyan, show your symphaty po for those who are greatly affected, marami pong hindi na sapat ang kinakain dahil sa problema sa COVID-19. Kung maaari, kung gusto nyo po, ay ibigay na lang po natin sa mga nangangailangan ang cash na ating ibinibili ng alak, bukas naman po ang barangay hall na tumanggap ng donations para sa mga mas grabe pang nasalanta ng kalamidad na ito sa ating kumunidad, mas mabuti na po ito kesa sa mabote 😀 At, marami din naman pong diversion na pwedeng gawin habang naka home or community quarantine - imbis na uminum ng alak ay maglinis, magbasa ng mga librong matagal ng hindi binubuklat, i-repair ang sirang furnitures, atbp."

- Sa mga sari-sari stores naman po sa barangay, for your own good and other people po ay sana mag-lagay din po ng signage sa harap ng establisyemento nyo na: "Observe Social Distancing" at kung maaari pati na rin po ang: "No Facemask (abungot), No entrance/transaction", hindi po ito over-reactive, ito po ay hustong measures lang para maiwasan ang maaaring transmission of disease lalo na ang COVID-19.

- Pati nga rin po mga pets like dogs, cats, etc. ay i-quarantine o ikulong na lang sa loob ng bahay dahil sa zoonotic characteristic ng virus na sanhi ng COVID-19.

- Para po sa tulong xng gobyerno for displaced workers, not all will be given daw po, hindi po kasi qualified displaced workers ang na-intake na iba dahil maaari din silang naka work at home, at meron ding hindi na-intake ang pangalan na totoong displaced workers dahil wala siya nuong panahon ng pag-intake, we're given limited but sapat na oras na rin po nu'ng tayo ay nag-intake ng displaced workers pero wala po talaga kayo nuon kaya ang recommended po sa inyo ay magtungo po sa barangay hall kung naniniwala kayong qualified kayo as displaced workers."

THE WORLD WILL PRAY AGAINST COVID-19

In your love, Lord, we bring the world..
In your love, the world will be alright -
You watch us when the sun rises,
Like admiring the fresh lushful morning..
You watch us at the end of the day
When we rest ourselves in your abode night..
What more if we stand up to the adversary
For your glory and grace?
