The resolution authored by all members of the city legislative body stated in the light of the on-going implementation of the Luzon wide enhanced community quarantine and pursuant to the time-honored spirit of ‘bayanihan’ as well as the inherent Filipino value of ‘malasakit,’ barangay officials should look out for the welfare of the most vulnerable sectors, specifically the senior citizens and immunocompromised, who are living alone (Dexter A.
