If we have to successfully eliminate the COVID-19 cases, we need a realistic plan of actions to accurately enforce the current quarantine measures. Under limited budget and endangering the livelihood of the people from not being able to work, the situation require the balance of "health vs livelihood" of our people. Fortunately, the current situation only require definitive plan of actions for each specific alert status - which will constitute the accurate alert level for the government agencies to respond effectively. By focusing efforts for specific alert level, the inter-agency task force may handle the detailed management of the implementations in the ground level - this will eliminate most of the current barangay level poor performances.
The matrix that I am presenting here provides the national government enough time to prepare for Alert's Level 4 and 5 before full implementation.
As for the implementation of Level 4 and 5, the national government can focus to critical areas in each barangay. The management and funding must be coming from the national government with close coordination to the mayor - barangay level is only there for the legwork under closed monitoring and transparent auditing.
To avoid lack of control, the implementation of Level 4 and 5 is "per barangay" only - and not city-wide which is impossible to handle. There are only isolated areas that are critical. Some of the other barangays are totally case-free - and that we have to keep and protect.
