A resident of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) writes an open letter to the people living in other parts of Luzon who are affected by the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ).
Netizen Yloiv Satnalac posted several photos taken in Baguio City amid the ECQ to show to the other social media users how the Igorots are strictly following the orders from the government without complaining.
According to Satnalac’s post, Igorots living in CAR doesn’t have politicians who could provide enough relief goods for them or generous celebrity that may help them amid the ECQ.
Satnalac said that despite the help they’re receiving were not as big as the other provinces being obtained, they chose not to criticize the government or wish something bad to the President.
She said that they’re contented with what they’re receiving from the government.
Here’s what she wrote:
“Kaming mga Taga BAGUIO,BENGUET& MOUNTAIN PROVINCE..Walang Yorme Isko at Vico Sotto na kayang ma provide ang 1 sakong bigas na relief goods at ipa disinfect ang buong city. Wala kaming Angel Locsin na makakapag provide ng kits para sa aming mga frontliners. Walang GMA at ABS CBN Foundation na magbibigay ng extrang tulong.. Walang Milyonaryong mag DeDAre para mag ikot at tulungan ang buong neighborhood. We only have our Prayers na sana panatilihin kaming safe araw2. Pero wala kayong narinig sa amin na pagbitiwin at ipanalangin na mamatay si PRRD. Hindi niyo narinig na hinanap nmin ang 275Billion na yan. Walang Frontliners dito samin na binabastos at sinasaktan. We are grateful sa konting tulong na ntatanggap.. Mabigyan man ng ayuda o hindi patuloy kaming nagpapasalamat. Magkaisa,Magtulungan. Yun yung nararapat. Nagugutom rin kami pero hindi namin minsan naisip na isisi yun sa pamahalaan. Puro kayo putak!”
