Garcia, when asked until when the ECQ may last, said she still could not estimate a date as several factors would need to be considered. None of the samples, which included 21 from Cebu province, 18 from Cebu City, 8 from Lapu-Lapu City, and 7 from Mandaue City, returned positive.“This is encouraging but let us not be complacent. Let us be even more vigilant. Let us show that we can do this the Cebuano way. The Cebuano way is to join hands and help each other,” Garcia said.
