== The Ruling victims at Bayanan rebuke sedate response to crisis ==

At the province of Bayanan at Central Luzon, around 120 local fishermen and farmers assembled in front of their local Crisis Response Office Unit to speak out against the reckless and slow response to the calamity. Formerly a thriving home of fisheries and agriculture, their hope was wiped away by one of the eight localized earthquakes all over the nation during The Ruling.
Local fisherman Benedict Almosara, one of the organizers of the peaceful assembly, said "Are we that insignificant to be ignored? We live in a highly rural area with no buildings worth rebuilding. It has been months since our houses were torn apart and our children lost. If this were the capital, they would've cared, but we're just needy and we might not be worth their time. And what do they give us? Cops in riot gear instead of housing and jobs? We just want change."
Police and riot units were immediately deployed at the vicinity to prepare for potential escalation. Maj. Gen. Deporno Alat stated "The police force is ready for whatever happens to assure the utmost safety of our government officials and crisis response representatives."
The protest remained at ease from 10 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in the evening. Two participants fainted under the scorching heat, who are currently in critical condition due to the 3-hour trip to the nearest medical unit. The provincial hospitals were wiped away by the earthquake and are still under renovation.
The Secretary of Health, Dr. Frankie Santos IX, previously announced that the renovation of provincial hospitals are still underway, but stated that their top priorities are vaccination of native ducks and breeding of mangoes and bananas, claiming that "it will have magical medical power."
