Last week, before President Duterte announced the community quarantine in Metro Manila, I already received the news in one of the mommy Viber groups I belong to. Sabi 5 pm daw mag-aannounce, so nung 3 pm I rushed to the nearest supermarket, good thing hindi pa rush hour and I was able to shop for some necessities na hindi pa mahaba ang pila.
The day after the announcement, I heard ang haba na raw ng pila at ang dami ng tao.
Kamusta kayo mommies? Nakapamili ba kayo ng mga kailangan nyo? Ako although nakapamili na ako, kelangan ko pang bumalik kasi hindi ako naka-prepare the last time.
Ngayon, helpful talaga ang may list para walang makalimutan. Lalo na that we are under Enhanced Community Quarantine at buong Luzon na.
I am sharing my list, please share din kung ano yung nasa list nyo para maidagdag ko rin sa amin.
