By Anthony Giron IMUS CITY, Cavite – Mayor Lani Mercado-Revilla has appealed to the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-MEID) to place Bacoor City under modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ), along with Metro Manila, starting Saturday, May 16, until May 31.

(FACEBOOK / MANILA BULLETIN) The Cavite province is shifting to general community quarantine (GCQ) from the two week-enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) which ends on Friday, May 15. Revilla informed Cavite mayors, in their meeting with Governor Juanito Victor Remulla, about her appeal on Thursday, May 14, in which they tackled, among others, the guidelines for the GCQ enforcement. The IATF’s decision was set to be announced at 3 p.m. Friday, May 15. The city government of Bacoor will render its guidelines for the May 16 to 31 MECQ after the IATF decides on the appeal. Bacoor, the nearest city of Cavite in southern Metro Manila, has the highest incidence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the province. The city, with 73 barangays (villages), is Cavite’s second most populated area with approximately 700,000 residents. It is the so-called "gateway" of Cavite to and from the south of Metro Manila. Revilla made the MECQ appeal upon the advice of the city health officer and the Bacoor COVID-19 Task Force in a meeting last Wednesday May 13. “Kung ang mga karatig nating lungsod ng Metro Manila ay papasok sa MECQ, tila marapat na MECQ rin ang Bacoor at unti-unti, ngunit maingat at tiyak na tutungo sa GCQ at New Normal,| said Revilla. Bacoor is bounded by Metro Manila's cities of Pasay, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa and Parañaque. Bacoor has 93 confirmed COVID-19 positive cases, with 10 deaths and 43 recoveries, and 42 probable and 39 suspected cases. Of the 93 cases, 40 are active with 17 involving hospital staff and health care workers in the National Capital Region. In her post, Revilla said that there were also some 200 Bacoor residents who have been tested but their results have remained pending. “We need to see the results of these tests before we can open up. Hindi po natin kayang mabigla kung marami po riyan ay mag-positive at tayo ay naka-GCQ na,” the mayor said, citing that the citizens’ health care is the government's first consideration. “Huwag natin sayangin ang sakrispisyo nating lahat nitong nakalipas na dalawang buwan. Kaunting tiis na lang at matatapos din ang lahat ng ito, kapit lang po tayo sa Panginoon. Kaunti na lang po. Sama-sama, at tulong-tulong, mananaig po tayong lahat,” Revilla also said.
