Aside from the island of Luzon and its associated islands, several provinces (and smaller LGUs) have declared a community quarantine (partial lockdowns) across their territories, yet the main article has a limited coverage for them. Maybe we should expand them here and rename this article to 2020 Philippines coronavirus lockdowns? Taking the 2020 Italy coronavirus lockdown as an example, except the fact it's a national lockdown. —hueman1 (talk • contributions)07:37, 2 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support following Italy's lead. We dont need separate articles for every community lockdown in the Philippines. And as per the initial directive from the president, every local government is enjoined to implement their own lockdowns if two or more of their constituents test positive. I would suggest naming the article as 2020 Philippine community quarantines because as you pointed out, this isnt a nationwide lockdown and also following the legalese in the presidential declaration/s to avoid any other possible interpretation not provided for in the law. And then organize the individual local community quarantines per island group starting with Luzon. When more sources become available on the coverage of a particular lockdown, that's the time a separate pandemic article can be created for them, like the case of 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Metro Manila. Add: if separate pandemic articles will be created, i suggest organizing them per region too like Metro Manila. I see Calabarzon and Central Visayas as potential candidates based on media reports.--RioHondo (talk) 08:41, 2 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
IMO, this is where we can go into details of the crisis impact on each region. The main Philippine pandemic article covers so much details that it has become so hard to read and maintain. For instance the impact on entertainment and media in the PH main article details every concert that was cancelled or postponed in Metro Manila when this should be at Metro Manila's own pandemic article. Concerts in other venues in Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao should be in their own articles, or in this one while individual articles have not been created for them. Cancelled sports leagues, this shouldnt be at the main PH article, except the ones that are national in scope like Palarong Pambansa. The UAAP should be at Metro Manila. Television broadcast should be on a per region basis too, execpt national TV, like cancelled programs in Visayan language channels should be mentioned in this article. Impacts on retail, again the PH main article focuses too much on Metro Manila and Greater Manila Area. That should be moved to the Metro Manila pandemic article, while this article can discuss the regional and provincial retail impact stories. The main PH pandemic article should just be generalized accounts of the pandemic's impact on the entire Ph economy or those that are national in scope. Luzon manufacturing, Visayan tourism, Mindanao agriculture, they should all be moved here from the main PH article.--RioHondo (talk) 10:19, 5 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
I would rather have this article preserve since Luzon ECQ is very notable event on its own. I suggest that someone just create a separate new article about the lockdowns or quarantines that covers the Philippines as a whole and include just a summary of this article there. Then, if that main Philippine quarantine article got big, it can be forked into new articles as necessary. --Jojit (talk) 02:59, 6 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
