NEW THIS WEEK (4)

The government has just announced that the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in the entire Luzon will be extended until April 30, 2020. It is during times like these when access to timely and relevant information is of utmost importance. Thanks to social media platforms such as Messenger, Viber, and Telegram, sharing information to your peers has never been easier.

Viber, for instance, allows its users to form ‘Communities’ – a public group where large number of people can come together to discuss shared interests. Some people have taken advantage of this feature to exchange up-to-date and reliable information concerning their respective localities while the ECQ is in force.

Here is a list of active Viber Communities in Metro Manila. If you wish to join any of the Communities in the list, just click on the link provided. (Credit goes to the person who diligently compiled this list).
