BALANGA CITY — Bishop Ruperto Santos of the Diocese of Balanga on Wednesday issued a diocesan directive aimed at preventing the spread of Covid-19.

Titled HUGAS, the directive was explained by the prelate thus:

H is hugasan palagi ang mga kamay. Huwag hawakan ang ating mukha lalung-lalo na ang mga mata, ilong at mga labi. Halikan ng pagbati tulad ng beso-beso at handshake ay iwasan na muna.

U is ugaliin maging malinis sa sarili at sa kapaligiran. Umiwas sa mga matataong lugar at gayundin sa magiging sanhi ng karamdaman, o ng kapahamakan.

G is gawin palagi ang tama, ang tunay at ang totoo. Gumawa palagi ng maganda at mabuti. At gawin ang mga paalala at pinag-uutos ng pamahalaan at simbahan.

A is alisin ang takot, pangamba at maling pag-aakala. At upang maalis ang takot at pangamba, at tuluyan mawala na ang coronavirus ay huwag kalimutan ang letter SSumampalataya sa Diyos, higit sa lahat sumunod sa Kanyang mga kautusan at sumaklolo sa mga nangangailangan.

Santos earlier issued a diocesan directive that as precaution and prevention of Covid-19, he encouragedthe faithful to receive Holy Communion by hands, to forego kissing the bishop’s ring and avoid holding hands during the Our Father in the celebration of Holy Masses.

The Bataan prelate has also prepared a diocesan prayer against the spread of Covid – 19 to be recited after post-communion prayer.
