The President's declaration of a community quarantine for the whole NCR has brought serious concern to a vast number of our kababayans who work hard day in and day out to make payments that fall due.

Habang malinaw sa deklarasyon ng pangulo na tuloy ang trabaho at wala dapat agam-agam sa pagkawala ng hanapbuhay, marami na ang tumitingin sa posibilidad na sundin dito sa atin ang halimbawa ng Italy sa pag suspend ng mortgage payments at ilang bayarin.

For this reason, I ask our Financial Managers to study and look into this course of action so that if conditions worsen and the need arises, we could implement an emergency mechanism that would ease the burden of our kababayans with the least adverse impact on our finances, economy, and institutions.

Mabuti nang maging handa at may malinaw at pinag-isipang plano kung sakaling dumating ang pangangailangan.

Edward Sodoy
