Good day po. Im a baguio resident and a health practitioner. Hindi po ba mas maganda na sa halip na resident ang pumunta sa bgy. Hall to report or register, mas maganda po na mga bgy health workers and kagawads/purok leaders assigned to each area ang mag house to house? Per experience po kasi, people are not giving their exact addresses, and there are some residents in an area that dont have a house number. If the bgy kagawads/purok leaders and BHW will do a house to house visit, mas sigurado ung address. ALSO, IF PEOPLE flock in the bgy hall, baka lalong mag karoon ng cross infection. Thank you po.
