With eyes closed in fervent prayer, I wish you a Happy birthday MAMA MARY.
It is happening again, my stats is turning those magic numbers for so many years now every time we celebrate Mama Mary’s birthday.
Catholic churches are closed again because the group handling Covid 19 here opted to return to MECQ (Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine) after declaring three days ago that Metro Manila would be under GCQ (General Community Quarantine). No matter what they term it, even how many CQs are there, bubbles, localized lockdown, granular lockdown as long as the problem of this pandemic is not properly addressed, we will remain having those positive cases everyday. Every sacrifice is borne by the Filipino people because of the inefficient way those retired generals are handling this pandemic. The(ir) president woudn’t trust the expertise of the medical sector to address the problem.
For almost two years now, I haven’t been inside the church because of so many restrictions. I guess the Philippines is the only country with the longest lockdown. I just rely on online masses everyday.

I am so sad that you can’t go to church. We returned to masking in church, but we are free to be there.

Good for you Anne. When we are not in strict lockdown, sometimes they only allow 10% capacity.

That’s how it is here. Seniors 65 up are not even allowed to go out. At least all Catholic churches have online masses every day.

That is such a shame Arlene however in many ways it is the same inept handling of the crisis and lack of vaccinations here it seems we will never see the back of this until it is properly dealt with but we are seeing the same in many other countries…
