“Tani indi lang. Kay wala kami obra kag gutom gid (Don’t let them implement ECQ. We have no jobs, we will go hungry).” This was the message of one Ilonggo fisherman to Iloilo Mayor Jerry Treñas after news that the metro would again be placed under the strictest form of quarantine, the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ). Bike group LpuKids ibike narrated their encounter with the fishermen along M.H. Del Pilar St. in Molo on Wednesday, July 14.
