The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is not something that should be underestimated. According to the Department of Health (DOH), cases in the CALABARZON region — Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon— have increased to 70. And there are 8 deaths to add to the count.
Among those numbers is Naic, Cavite Mayor Junio Dualan. In a Facebook post, he reassures everyone that he is “in good condition”, but on strict self-quarantine after being tested positive last March 18. Aside from the mayor, another Naic resident was also infected.
