Many countries across the globe are currently faced with a bigger challenge set by the COVID-19 pandemic. One of these nations is the Philippines which recently recorded a spike in the cases of the disease.
Following the recent spike, the national government placed the entire National Capital Region (NCR) under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ). Its nearby provinces, the provinces of Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite, and Laguna, were also under ECQ for two (2) weeks.
