current and enforceable laws relative to COVID-19 in a way that makes the Code easy to use
as a reference. A modified public hearing was conducted on April 15 – 16,2020 wherein
Sangguniang Bayan Members (SBMs), together with the SB Secretary, went to all barangays
of Bauang and informed concerned officials on duty and constituents alike about the
guidelines as to the contents of the proposed measure which was certified as urgent by the
LCE. Through this legal instrument, the municipality aims to institutionalize its efforts in its
battle against COVID-19 virus and hopefully lessen its impact to the locality.
