IBS 3×3 Safety Tips
The members of the Iloilo Bloggers Society is supporting the 3 events with 3 health safety tips.
#HalongIlonggos
Ilonggos can move around but they are being reminded to become proactive when it comes to physical distancing, lining up on entrance gates, complying with info registry for contact tracing, consistently observing the wearing of protective face shield and a face mask, constant hand sanitizing or handwashing, and maintaining surfaces sanitized in between every use.
We encourage Ilonggos to carry these provisions in their bags to ensure their personal protection at all times within or outside of these events venue – #SafeIlonggos.
#PadayonKita
The time is now for the local economy to move forward. Waiting for a vaccine or for the Coronavirus to subside or to die on thin air is beyond possible. Slow steps moving forward is what the local economy needs without compromising the health and welfare of the general public – #PadayonKita but free from Coronavirus.
#SaIloiloTa
Reviving the local economy will need the patience, discipline, and cooperation of every Ilonggo. Mindfulness of the impact of Coronavirus to Ilonggo lives is everyone’s responsibility these days, especially if we intend to live another day fighting the pandemic until it gets defeated.
