Sort response by type of action instead of by LGUs.

Describing the response by each city and municipality is a mess in my opinion. I suggest we should group similar actions. Eg. how each LGU implement curfews, manage transportation of frontliners, distribution of relief goods, state of calamity declarations, cremation of COVID-19 confirmed and suspected cases, etc.Any feedback regarding this suggestion. Inviting @PatTag2659:, @RioHondo:, @HueMan1:, and @PH 0447: but any user is free to contribute to discussion as well.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 07:32, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hariboneagle927: Thanks for your feedback. I've actually started working on that now. I've grouped some similar actions already (curfews and wearing of face masks policy), placing them right below the "Local governments" sub-heading. I plan to work on other similar actions later. I do feel, however, that there may be some actions by particular LGUs that are worth noting; for example, Pasig, Marikina, Valenzuela, maybe even Manila. If I may, I suggest we experiment that on a sandbox page first, as we're in no rush. PatTag2659 (talk) 10:16, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hariboneagle927 and PatTag2659: I support your suggestions but these regions needs some coverage too. —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 11:05, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hariboneagle927 and PatTag2659:, I do agree that there are some noted actions from certain LGUs. I'll see on how I will approach this. I'll seriously consider doing a sandbox first. For the coverage of other regions, I agree that Calabarzon, Davao Region, Central Luzon needs coverage too since they're the other regions hardly affected by the pandemic.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 12:27, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
