    March 31, 2020

    Secretary Ernesto M. Pernia


    Chairman
    Technical Working Group on Anticipatory and Forward Planning
    Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-
    EID)

    Honorable Secretary:

    We thank the government for its quick response to protect the country from the ravages
    of this global COVID-19 pandemic and reaffirm our support to partner with you at every
    step.

    In line with this, the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Entrepreneurship convened a
    video call on March 29, 2020 with over 60 business leaders and association heads and
    the gracious participation of six government officials, namely: Cabinet Secretary Karlo
    Nograles, Chief Implementer Carlito Galvez, Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez,
    Agriculture Secretary William Dar, Science and Technology Secretary Fortunato de la
    Peña, and Communications Secretary Martin Andanar.

    The meeting objectives were, on one hand to be briefed by the Secretaries on latest
    developments and identify conditions that will trigger a post-ECQ scenario; and on the
    other hand, make suggestions on how the private sector can pull its weight to help the
    country and discuss possible initiatives to transition out of the enhanced community
    quarantine.

    Based on the exchange, we propose four key recommendations that we hope will aid in
    easing into a “new normal” while preserving the gains from the government’s early
    response to safeguard the country’s public health. These are:

    1. Shift Implementation from Luzon-wide lockdown to selective quarantine at


    the barangay level
    • Empower LGUs by putting this under their respective Mayor’s oversight
    while following set guidelines from the IATF
    • Removal of checkpoints with the barangay-level selective quarantine
    implementation
    2. Allow all manufacturing, construction and agriculture to operate based on
    demand
    • All cargo types to move freely without passes
    • Selected sectors will continue to operate with skeletal work force and/ or
    work from home setup
    3. Keep all forms of mass gatherings closed
    • This includes malls, schools, entertainment and places of mass gathering
    4. Allow reduced public transportation
    • Allow reduced opening of public transportation or open only contained
    services in business areas where employers can transport workers safely
    with strict guidance on social distancing, wearing of masks, and other
    public health measures

    We also attach more specific inputs from business as discussed during the call.

    For the government’s immediate attention.

    Sincerely,

    JOSE MA. A. CONCEPCION III


    Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship
