They come up with some utter garbage here and to think some of these people are in the government. God help us.

 

Still haven't noticed any change from when they first declared level 4. Business as usual. Seems the people are finished dealing with this nonsense.

 

I think the reasoning is quite simple: we are in the same region as Cebu. Had the Negros Region been established years ago when it was approved by the previous administration we would not have been lumped under the same rules as the next island over. IMO it has nothing to do with power, it is laziness and an inability/unwillingness to have a more nuanced plan of action for individual provinces and/or for the local "leadership" to contest Malacanang's advice.

 

Giving this a go. I found some yeast at the market in Valencia. (Pronouncing "yeast" as it is actually pronounced only leads to confusion and "deer in the headlights" looks. Locals call it "yes't".) I am assuming this is bread/baker's yeast and not beer/wine yeast. It costs P5 per packet which I guesstimate is good for about 50 liters. I am also guessing the yeast will die off around 10-15% alcohol content from what I have seen in YouTube videos.

My first two attempts are with 1 liter of 100% coconut water and pineapple juice, adding 1 cup of white sugar and half a teaspoon of the yeast to each mix. I will let them sit for a week and test, if they aren't strong enough I will give it another week. So far after just one day I am getting a strong alcohol smell out of both bottles. Seems promising and I plan on experimenting more as I find more juice, but so far I have only found the pineapple and coconut juice. I may try the 4 seasons juice box if I am unable to find anything else locally as it seems that the only thing that matters is the sugar to yeast ratio. The rest seems to be only for flavor (so long as there aren't any additional ingredients or preservatives added to the juice.)

 

I would have people blasted with "UV or just a very powerful light" and "bring the light inside the body which you can do through the skin or, err, in some other way". "And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute" (because "the way it kills it in one minute, that's pretty powerful"). I would do "something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number of along so it'd be interesting to check that so that you're going to have to use medical doctors with but it sounds interesting to me so we'll see"

You know, because I have Article 2, a very powerful thing, it gives the president powers you wouldn't believe, like being a very stable genius. If you disagree, you are a fake and spread fake news.

 

91 people out of how many? Did they have weakened immune systems? Preexisting conditions? Were their symptoms worse or asymptomatic? Questions that should be answered before the media tries to scare the sh*t out of people making the situation worse.

 

I gave up on the Vax Cert and went to the Bureau of Quarantine in Bacolod yesterday to get my International Certificate of Vaccination. Appointments, documents and payment (around P300) can be made online @ https://icv.boq.ph

Take your vaccine card/cert and passport/ID with you. It took me less than 5 minutes to get the certificate once there. The BoQ is located at the main ferry terminal on the second floor in Bacolod.

The road to Bacolod on the Mabinay route is ok up until Mabinay, decent enough until Bago, and spectacular after that. It took me around 4 to 4.5 hours by car. On the way before Kabankalan they had a checkpoint checking for vaccine cards, no other restrictions at this time. I was not stopped for anything on the way back to Dumaguete.
