BACOLOD City – This city’s Task Force Disiplina (TFD) temporarily stopped enforcing the “face mask and social distancing ordinance.” Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran, TFD head, said they opted to halt operations pending the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test result for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) of one of their member who recently died. “We will resume operation if his test result would turn out negative,” Familiaran stressed, adding the other TFD members were advised to self-isolate. The 60-year-old task force member was a job order employee of the city government. He was found dead inside the bathroom of his house in Barangay Taculing on Aug. 16, according to TFD action officer Wilfredo Geolingo. The task force personnel’s body was immediately swabbed for COVID-19, he added. TFD was made after Mayor Evelio Leonardia issued his Executive Order (EO) No. 47 creating the Quarantine and Health Protocol Compliance Council. The TFD was composed of personnel from the Bacolod City Police Office, City Mayor’s Office, City Administrator’s Office, and Public Order and Safety Office. The task force was tasked to ensure the compliance of residents and establishments with all existing laws, issuances and ordinances related to the established health protocols against COVID-19. There were around 60 members divided into two teams, said Geolingo./PN
