The head of the Philippines’ bishops’ conference has appealed to Catholics to give food to the poor so that they do not go hungry during a near-total lockdown that is due to start in Manila later this week. Bishop Pablo Virgilio David of Kalookan issued the appeal on Aug. 1, ahead of the lockdown that will last from Aug. 6-20. President Rodrigo Duterte ordered that an enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), the term given to the strictest lockdown measures to curb the fast-spreading Delta variant of the coronavirus, be imposed on July 31.
