Hey, poker playas!
Due to the discovery that the Delta variant has entered the Philippines. Words were abuzz whether or not Manila would go into another lockdown.
Metro Manila Mayors held meeting with each other and started bracing themselves for another possible strict lockdown to stop the growth of the virus.
It was up to IATF to make the decision.
Metro Manila stay in GCQ with heightened restrictions
In a piece of late-breaking news. President Rodrigo Duterte approves the IATF’s recommendation to keep Metro Manila under GCQ with heightened restrictions until August 15.
Do not let your guards down!
Although Metro Manila stays in GCQ with heightened restrictions until August 15. The enemy is not the government but the virus. The Delta variant is more contagious.
The classification may change!
The president has imposed hard lockdowns before after announcing a softer lockdown in just a few days.
He has been known more than once to cave into the pressure of the voices of other groups. If cases do skyrocket. A hard lockdown is still possible to be announced.
Continue to adapt to a new normal.
The reality is that having a country safe from the virus may not be achievable anytime soon.
It could still take months and the virus could still mutate. Unless you have 80% of the population vaccinated. getting back to normal is hard to achieve.
There are also hard-line anti-vaxxers who are against the vaccine.
We do suggest for people get the vaccine, but it is still not readily available to the public.
The best way is to continue to adapt to a more healthy lifestyle and avoid other forms of gambling.

Although there have been rumors going around that tournament will be back soon. It may not be back soon enough.
There is a lot of options to play online and it is practically safer to just stay at home and play.
