- Life in Bohol During Quarantine

No matter where we are in the world and no matter what major events occur that will shape and mold the history of the world, life goes on here in Tagbilaran. Life is calm, some would say boring, but I don’t want that to define our life here now. This is time we will never get to experience again, and I don’t want it to be wasted. Sunset view from our apartment  in Tagbilaran First a word about the Quarantine. There are currently three levels here in the Philippines: Enhanced Community Quarantine (EQC) All but essential businesses are closed. Only one person from each household can leave the house to buy food, and that person must have a government issued pass. During the two months that we experienced this level, I did not even put on my shoes one time. General Community Quarantine (GCQ) Some businesses can open including restaurants for takeout only. People over 65 (me) can leave the house on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, but cannot go into most stores. The National Guard
