‘Better normal’: House OKs bill on health, safety measures post-pandemicDubbed as the “better normal” bill, HB 6864 seeks to make it mandatory for Filipinos to wear face masks and practice physical distancing in public places across the country. Bakit naman across the country? Local governments dapat magdecide nyan hindi kailangan ng batas ng paepal. Ah baka naman may malaking kompanya ng face mask at face shield na tinatayo sila. Better normal daw? Mga unggoy! Bakit mo kailangan ng mask kung better sa dating normal? And you're still stupid enough to believe your lives will go back to how it was before? Isn't that what they promised you if you'd do what they told you to do? Unless you fight for your rights you're going to lose them all over time. Just wait and you'll see. Wait, where does it say in the bill that masks will be mandatory even after the pandemic? That would be retarded.
