Empty Streets, General Trias
Mornings like these are the new normal on this side of the city. Even at midnight, you'll never see it like this pre-pandemic and it's still quite a new sight even after four weeks of the lockdown. President Duterte has just announced this past week that the Enhanced Community Quarantine for the island of Luzon (largest island in the Archipelago) which includes Manila and the whole province of Cavite is extended until April 30th.
Continue staying safe and indoors as much as you can and be sure to disinfect everything from clothes worn outdoors to your grocery items because these things can be active carriers of the virus and can harm not just yourself but the whole household. Tomorrow is Easter, let us all have a restful Black Saturday.
Yes indeed, it is a strange sight to see empty streets, especially on holiday weekends. You take care and stay safe SQ. Happy Easter ✨
ReplyDeletetruly it is though I do find the peace and quite something positive. A good kind of positive. Happy Easter Grace!
DeleteEm Portugal também é esse o aspecto real. O Estado de Emergência igualmente foi prolongado, mas a situação nunca mais será como antes... infelizmente.
ReplyDeleteTe desejo uma Páscoa feliz, tanto quanto seja possível.
Um abraço desde este outro lado do Mundo.

DeleteAs ruas continuam desertas.

Sad but there is peace and quiet so still something good I guess. Happy Easter my friend Francisco!
DeleteYes, it is important to stay safe. The quiet is so different though. For all of us. Nice to see these photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Erika. I truly agree with the quiet, honestly I do like it in a way that it's peaceful but I miss the usual laughter of the Filipinos which you can here from streets apart. Happy Easter!
DeleteIt is strange to see empty roads, but I too enjoy the quiet of not having traffic around. Wishing you a happy and peaceful Easter. Mxx
ReplyDeleteVery true Margaret and I thank you for those warm greetings. Happy Easter all the way to New Zealand!
DeleteOur quarantine is April 30 too, and I hope they extend it to May 30. Our state is just starting to be hit very hard and already has more than two thousand deaths. We are holding our breath.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a beautiful Easter.
I am with you Jeanie on those hopes that the quarantine be extended as well because the numbers here are just so high and unimaginable. It would take lots of sacrifices though especially to the poor families but I think it's for the better of everbody. Happy Easter Jeanie!
DeleteOlá Stevenson!
ReplyDeleteQue tudo se ilumine ao seu redor.
Muita saúde e paz de alma.
Este pesadelo vai passar.
Um grande sorriso iluminado.

Muito Obrigado Megy! Your words are encouraging and I really appreciate it! Happy Easter all the way to Portugal!
DeleteEverything is quiet here. Our restictions will continue to May 5th and then they will review the situation again.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter and stay safe!
Quiet can tend to be boring in the long run but it's always peaceful. I hope for the best in Ireland as much as I hope for the Philippines and the world. Wishing you a happy Easter my friend Bill and please stay safe!
DeleteLa noi se circula, sunt oameni peste tot.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Best regards!
Thank you so much Robert! Truly, we are never alone on this fight. Stay safe and Happy Easter!
DeleteEnjoy your special day Stevenson. It is very quiet here. A time for reflection and thanks that our PM Boris survived his close call with the Grim Reaper.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Phil! I feel so happy with that great news you gave me about your Prime Minister. Stories of recovery are big sources of joy for us in these trying times. Sending you hugs my friend, stay safe and have a great week ahead!
