DEFEATING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC THROUGH THE “BIDA ANG MAY DISIPLINA:
SOLUSYON SA COVID-19 PROGRAM”

WEEKLY NARRATIVE REPORT

NOVEMBER 05, 2020
PROVINCE OF AURORA
MUNICIPALITY OF SAN LUIS

As stated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the

coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is the defining global health crisis of our time and the
greatest challenge we have faced since World War II. This pandemic exposed the
struggle of our country to a health care system that will secure the lives of every Filipino
and also heightens the socio-economic crisis existing. Knowing that providing all the
needs of the citizens at all times is a real challenge to local government units such as the
Municipality of San Luis, it is important to awaken the instilled discipline to Filipinos in
order to follow the guidelines and health protocols set by the Department of Health
(DOH) and the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious
Diseases (IATF-MEID).
PART I
The Municipality of San Luis has been following and advocating the minimum
health standards to its citizens in every program and activity held in the municipality.
Masks are always worn and physical distancing are performed in order to mitigate the
possible transmission of the virus as shown in photos presented below.

Continuous Monitoring of incoming Locally Stranded Individuals (LSI) are also

performed to ensure that the COVID-19 virus will not enter the municipality of San Luis.
 Disinfection and clean-up are also performed every day to common places where
people usually gather such as public market, church, barangay halls and offices of the
LGU. This is headed by the San Luis Bureau of Fire Protection and the Municipal
Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office as shown by the pictures below.

To prevent mass gathering and in compliance to the issued IATF-MEID Resolution

No. 72 series of 2020 last September 17, 2020, the LGU San Luis, barangay officials,
volunteer groups and other agencies (PNP, BFP, AFP) established an assistance desk at
public cemeteries to monitor if the scheduled visitations are followed as well as the
minimum health standards.

PART II
The highlighted activities mentioned above contributed to the DISIPLINA MUNA
NATIONAL ADVOCACY campaign especially now that it was refocused towards
defeating the COVID-19 Pandemic. All the actions taken during each activity followed
the BIDA which became the call to easily follow the minimum health standards. The LGU
is making sure of promoting the use of face masks/ face shields, sanitizing hands and
the surroundings, and physical distancing. The LGU’s official facebook page
@Municipality of San Luis, Aurora became the venue for the citizens to see facts on what
the government is working to resolve the problems brought by the pandemic as well as
the information on how they can help and participate to activities and programs within
the municipality.
PART III
The DISIPLINA MUNA CAMPAIGN is an effective tool to simplify the call of the
government for every Filipinos to actively participate with the programs and activities
made by the LGUs. Instilling the values such as BIDA in this time of the pandemic will
enable the citizens to protect themselves at all times.
