I agree with your sentiment, Graham. However, at least here in Davao, stated policy or regulation and enforcement are definitely two different things. I seem to be able to travel freely just about anywhere I please. Of course, I am wearing a hat (covers the grey (white?)) and the mask and eyeglasses cover the wrinkles? So maybe I look 40-ish rather than 60+-ish? Anyway, so far I have not had any problems going to hardware stores or driving to our property through two checkpoints along the way. Enforcement here seems much relaxed compared to even just one week ago, when ECQ was still in force... Just my observations, not meant to be a comment on policy...

JJReyes Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 It should be "suggestions" or "recommendations" rather than commands. There is also an implied threat of punishment assuming you don't obey authority. By the time you are a senior citizen, chances are you can tell right from wrong. The premise is seniors are the most vulnerable group. They therefore assume most risks by going out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Resolution No. 43, it remains that youths aged 21 years old and below, seniors 60 years old and above, can't go out subject to exception of necessities and to work," said Roque in Filipino. I suppose eating is a necessity too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
