The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an
unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems, world of work and educational
system. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating. Are you
one of those who prefer to stay at home because of the threat of this pandemic?
Worry no more! because the Department of Health(DOH) on behalf of the Interagency Task
Force for Emerging Infectious Disease (IATF-EID) and in the coordination with the
Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO), is currently leading the
implementation of “BIDA Solusyon sa Covid-19”.
We believe in a strong and cohesive information campaign against Covid-19 pandemic that
continuously affect us in many ways. The “BIDA Solusyon sa Covid-19” aims to encourage
the Filipino people to take an active role in the fight against our common enemy: COVID-19
(The “COntraVIDA”).
Did you know that the campaign promotes the active role of individuals in the fight against
Covid-19 by practicing the following behaviors simplified into four letters.
B- Bawal walang face mask
I- I-sanitize ang mga kamay, iwas hawak sa mga bagay
D- Dumistansya ng isang metro
A- Alamin ang totoong impormasyon
DILG Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya said that this campaigns as complimentary in
addressing Covid-19, resulting in collaboration underscoring the importance of preventive
health measures in the minds of the Filipinos as a way to beat the pandemic.
Santa Maria is one of the towns experiencing the severity of the pandemic. However, with
the participation of Local Government Unit (LGU) Santa Maria to the implementation of the
BIDA Solusyon in Covid-19, Marians remained firm. Cooperation and self-discipline is further
intensified. It is true that there are no Marians who give up easily. Instead, each citizen do
their part in this fight by following the acronym “BIDA”. Only together we can overcome the
intertwined health, social, economic and educational impacts of the pandemic and prevent
its escalation by simply changing our behaviors. In this test of life, Health is Wealth.
So, FEAR NOT, BIDA NA!
