On my way home,
Heard them whisper,
Covid-19,
Now in the Phil.
But the Pres said
To the Public,
No need to be,
Hysterical.
No Chinese Ban.
It's Xenophobe.
Virus will die,
Naturally.
Yet on Mid March,
Entire Luzon,
One month lockdown,
Called ECQ.
With poor response
From government,
Healthcare system
That's overwhelmed,
Slow mass testing,
Contact tracing.
Problem persists,
Covid remains.
Now with thousands
Of infected,
And hundreds of
Cremated dead.
An extension
'til April's end,
With another
So rumors say.
Oh Philippines!
You are not blessed.
2020
Is not your year.
There was Taal.
Now this virus,
What could be next?
When'll all this end?
