Yes Cebu City went through their surge back when ECQ was a politically acceptable thing to do.

Since then the political will has changed with additional restrictions being politically resisted.

Now Negros and Bohol are going through a surge without the tools to deal with it.

I think it is being resisted as the lower classes in the country simply cannot feed themselves when everything is locked down and the government can't offer the required assistance to keep them alive. When you live day to day being ordered to stay home and not work can be a death sentence. Strict quarantine is a greater risk to their health than the virus is.
