For this edition of VOX POPULI, The Bohol Tribune is featuring the netizen’s reactions, responses and comments to this week’s featured question. 

The question is: 

“Covid is real. Walay gipili nga edad – batan-on ug hamtong. Follow protocol, ma mayor ka man o ma ordinaryong tawo. Please. Okay ba?”

Below are the unedited responses, reactions and comments to the statement:

  • from Dr. Ria Maslog: Mam Ardy let us continue to remind every Boholano jud nga tinuod jud ni. Thanks for helping us mam ug leader ka, model ka so mosunod jud sa gpangyawyaw dili kay mo yawyaw pero lahi gibuhat.
  • from Procesa Maestrado Campos: This Virus is not a joke!
  • from Ma Sheila Flores Malaran: I agree Ma’am!
  • from Elaine Chatto Galido: Check! Correct!
  • from Atty. Aster Apalisok Piollo: Ang mga tawo mosunod sa ilang leader,kun makita nila nga misupak,ilang leader,supak pud na sila. Way moral ascendancy ang pagsulti sa mga tawo nga sunod mog health protocol,kun siya mismo supakero.haay kamaayong tuk on.

  • from Jessamyn Bucia Belderol: Ma’am kaning mga senador, cabinet secretaries, military, national officials & their parties nga moari sa Bohol, gi.require pod ni sila ug negative PCR result or exempted ba ni sila?

  • from a friend: Gi require gihapon na sila Maam ug 72 hrs neg RTpCR.
  • from Jessamyn Bucia Belderol to a friend: Good to know that… hopefully wa juy manongmanong…
  • from a friend: Sa national IATF maam gimando na nga exempted ang mga APOR/government officials from testing. Nisunod ang Bohol sa ana nga guideline sa IATF pero usually basta mga gikan sa high prevalence areas pangayuan gyud na ug neg rtpcr bisan pa ug usec or asec or chief.
