LGUs in action against COVID-19

Last March 16, the entire Luzon was placed on lockdown due to the growing number of cases of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the Philippines under the declaration of President Rodrigo Duterte. The enhanced community quarantine had barred millions of people staying in Luzon to travel outside the island—supposedly for just a month—for almost three months since it has been continuing to be extended due to the rising pandemic of the disease. Moreover, the lockdown has caused the temporary suspension of work and closure of non-essential businesses in the entire Luzon. These developments resulted in for most of the Filipinos to stop working and suffer from various disruptions—financial, livelihood, psychosocial, and even mental. But these have pushed and inspired some of the local government units to conduct their own initiatives to extend their help to its constituents in whatever they can.  In our generation, the coronavirus had brought as a lot of unexpected and tragic situations happening simultaneously…

Ethiopia’s Unconventional COVID-19 Response

By Arkebe Oqubay ADDIS ABABA – To the surprise of many, African governments have responded swiftly and boldly to the COVID-19 crisis. Ethiopia’s unconventional approach, for example, reflects the country’s limited financial and human resources, as well as the low level of available international support. Despite these severe constraints, the results so far have been better than anyone expected. From the start, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government understood that Ethiopia’s success in combating COVID-19 would depend not on the number of respirators it had, but on the public-health measures taken to contain the virus’s spread. His government also wanted to prevent serious damage to one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies, which expanded at a 10.5% average annual rate in 2004-18 but remains vulnerable. Safeguarding these gains, preventing job losses, and ensuring firms’ survival was critical. So, instead of implementing a national lockdown like most other governments, including in Africa, Ethiopia initiated…

Understanding court cases and their settlement

"It would be best if settlement is pursued and achieved without the needless filing of court cases."   Substantive laws and the Rules of Court are passed with policies to allow aggrieved individuals, juridical entities, and entities authorized by the law to institute actions to vindicate rights violated or seek redress for breach of rights from the court. The aggrieved may file civil or criminal actions: civil actions are commenced for the protection of a right or prevention of a wrong (Section 3 (a), Rule 1 of the Rules of Civil Procedure) while criminal actions are initiated by the State to prosecute an offender for an act or omission punishable by law (Section 3 (b), Rule 1 of the Rules of Civil Procedure). There is another type of action which is loosely treated in practice as civil actions since it seeks no penal sanction but is a remedy sought by a litigant to establish a status, a right, or a particular fact – these are known as special proceedings (Section 3 (c), Rule 1 of the Rules of Court).

Shameful

Dear Editor, It was disturbing that a cop in Uttarakhand allegedly tried to rape a woman at a quarantine centre. The Surajmal Institute located in Pulbhatta has been turned into a quarantine centre, where people coming to the area, are being asked to stay. Among the inmates of the quarantine centre is a newly-wed couple. Allegedly, the policeman went to the newly-wed couple's room located on the second floor. After reaching there, the accused grabbed the woman's hand and started taking her to a room located on the first floor. As per the police complaint, the accused was inebriated when the incident took place. However, it is an obvious misbehaviour of policeman. It is extremely condemnable, specially when it was committed by a person, who is responsible for safety of people. His misbehaviour not only stigmatized his family, but also defamed the group of security forces. Culprit must be punished. --M N Musaeed Jogeshwari Mumbai

School districts struggle with student food insecurity

SACRAMENTO – (INT) - Food insecurity—either concerns around having enough food or outright hunger—has increased sharply across California. Nationally, among children age 12 and under, the rate is up 14 points—from about 3% in 2018 to 17% in April 2020. During the ongoing COVID-19 school closures, even large districts appear to be serving fewer free and low-cost meals than before the pandemic, while rural or small districts face their own challenges in reaching students. Typically about 3.7 million California students, or 60%, qualify for free or reduced-price meals, a number that likely shot up under shelter-in-place orders. When classes are in session, these students may receive most of their food at school. Since schools closed in March, districts have set up more than 4,700 grab-and-go sites to continue providing meals to students, the Public Policy Institute of California found. Many districts provide meals to everyone under the age of 18. San Diego Unified is distributing one extra breakfast and lunch to…
