Malacañang assured on Sunday that President Duterte will support the conduct of mass testing on the public for the coronavirus disease (COVID19) once the Philippines becomes fully equipped for it.
Presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo gave the assurance as the public continues to clamor for the conduct of nationwide mass testing to allow the government to undertake proper steps to combat the deadly disease.
“Ang lahat ng iyan ay susuportahan ni Presidente kung nandiyan na iyong lahat ng kasangkapan. Kasi kung wala naman eh papaano natin maipapatupad iyon (The President will support all of that once we have all the necessary equipment. Because if we don’t have them, how can we implement such measure)?” he told DZRH.
The Department of Health (DOH) has rejected the proposal to conduct mass testing because of the country’s limited resources.
“While we already have 100,000 testing kits, and we expect more to arrive, these are not enough to conduct mass testing,” Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said.
On Sunday, the number of COVID19 positive cases in the Philippines breached the 1,000-mark, bringing the total to 1,418.
A total of 2,686 tests for COVID-19 were conducted in the country as of Saturday afternoon based on DOH’s tracker.
The death toll among COVID-19 patients rose to 71. The new deaths were all elderly people aged between 60 to 86 years old. All of them were Filipino nationals.
Four more patients have recovered from COVID-19, bringing the total number of recoveries to 42.
Witchikels! Kelan ba may natupad sa mga hanash na ganyan? Di na lang ako aasa baka bukas makalawa, iba nanaman ihip ng hangin.
ReplyDeletePaasa pa more. Masabi lang na makatao sila at may puso. Kung talagang gusto niyo, inuna niyo dapat yung mga pasyenteng may sintomas na na nasa hospital. Di yung mga alagad niyo na nauna pa at vip pa sa pagpapatest.
DeleteIsnt it exciting?!
DeleteKung ako lang Dapat ang matest agad yung mga health workers sabay dun sa mga me severe symptoms para macontrol kahit papano. Kaso nauna na mga VIPs but its the norm.
DeletePaano hindi maging limited resources, binawasan ang budget sa health. Inuuna muna red tape at ang commission bago maka approve sa mga lahat ng kailanganin like PPE's and cobid-19 testing kits.
DeleteKasi nga we're not fully equipped. We're very low of supply of testing kits. Ang SKorea lang ang nakakapag mass test because they manufacture their own kits and had experienced SARS before, so they are prepared for it. Satin naman inaangkat pa natin sa ibang bansa ang kits. And nagkakakulangan na. Even USA is declaring kulang kits nila.
DeleteIm not pro-govt but we have to understand that our medical system is already defective since then. May kulang talaga tayong kagamitan. And the current govt now can only do so much.
Sabi nga sa Jerry Maguire... SHOW ME THE MONEEEEEEEEY!!!
DeletePuro press release, kailangan namin eh aksyon! Hindi laway nyo!
Magsitigil nga kayo! Hindi naman magiging Best City @ Multi Awarded ang Davao City for consecutive years until the present kung hindi ito naging maganda at maunlad! Pero seriously bakit hindi finefeature sa mga magzine shows like Rated K at KMJS o sa mga Documentaries ang Super Highly Achievement ng Davao City na pinamunuan ng Most Loved President? Wala man lang akong nabalitaang mga tao nagpupuntahan sa Davao City for work or dun na magiistay dahil me pabahay. Puro Promised Land lang ang maingay dahil andun si Kibuloy.
Delete12:52 simple, dahil WALA KAMING PAKE SA DAVAO.
DeleteAng pake namin eh nasaan ang pondo para sa testing kits at nasaan na ang PPE at maayos na magkain at sweldo ng mga frontliner na medical staff.
o, tapos? nasa kalahati na ng lockdown hanggang support2 pa rin?
ReplyDeletecorrect!
DeleteHa? Anong kalahati? Wala pa namang 3mos ah. Andun ka pa din ba sa April 14 deadline? Metro Manila announcement yun. Yung latest na Luzon Lockdown announcement e 6mos ang pinakaleast na haba. O ano na?
DeleteKaya nga. Never heard of him since lock down. No update. Ang daming ngrreklamo ng walng relief goods pero pikit mata ang gobyerno.
DeleteAsan ang yaman ng pinas?maawa kayo mga politiko. You cant bring money on ur grave.
NAIA araw2 may dumadating na pasahero na hindi natin alam kung carrier wala man lang pamist sa bawat dadating at baggage, to think ang kapal ng mukha maningil ang terminal fee. 😣
1:21 e kahit naman dati pa natin gusto ng mass testing, ngayon palang tayo nagkakaroon ng maraming test kits!
Delete1:37
DeleteThe Luzon Lockdown is only until April 14, 2020
State of Calamity po ang 6 months.
Ang State of Calamity IS NOT THE SAME as the Luzon lockdown.
"A state of calamity means the national and local government can access its quick response funds to address the needs of the public and enhance disaster preparedness efforts" - CNN Philippines
Ah 2:32 what's the difference? So pagdating ng April 14 back to normal? Same lang yun kaya nga state of calamity dahil Lockdown. Yung Community Quarantine yung until April 14 yung Enhance Community Quarantine ang 6mos ang time frame nila at the Very least which is also the Luzon Lockdown And hence declaring State of Calamity.
DeleteBa yan di marunong umintindi kahit panuorin mo enhanced commmunitt quarantine, until APRIL 12 LANG YUN. Check mo pa official pages at websites eh. Push mo pa yan. Ikaw lang mapapahiya. Asa sa 6months na Luzon lockdown kakapost lang mula sa Malacanang na FAKE NEWS YANG PAUSO MO. MAG ARAL KA NG COMPREHENSION ATE. PURO KA FAKE NEWS.
Delete1:37/2:52 San mo naman nabasa yang 6 months na yan for enhanced quarantine?
DeleteIt's still until April.
Un lang, pwede nilang iextend kung ganitong pataas pa rin ang confirmed positives. Pero sa actual announcement, it's still supposed to end April.
252, magkaiba ang ECQ at state of calamity. State of calamity rin naman kapah may baha pero hindi naglolockdown.
DeleteI believe ieextend malamang ang ECQ/luzon lockdown pero as it stands, hanggang april 14 palang ang announced. We are awaiting the new pronouncement. The president still has not extended the lockdown.
Wag mo na ipilit ang wrong understanding mo ng state of calamity, please.
2:32
DeleteLols, di naman ito tulad ng bagyo or lindol na pwede kang mag set ng date ng pag aayos tapos gagawin lahat para masunod un. Pandemic po ito. Virus pinag uusapan. Napaka impossible matapos nito bago end of april lalo na kung matagal pa vacvine or gamot. Tatagal pa quarantine na ito dahil kahit anong isolate natin tapos di naman tayo sute kung eradicated na trace ng virus sa pinas, kelangan nating lahat mag quarantine. That's why we need mass testing. Kakupad kupad ng gibyerno. Ung special opwers at 275B fund magdamag naipasa pero walang sense of urgency mag set up ng labs at mag mass testing.
Kelangan ZERO ang cases by april 14 naku kahit tanggalin yang lockdown tapos may existing impeksyon na nasa libo hindi ako lalabas ng bahay nakakatakot di mo alam sino ang carrier.
Delete4:01 na matalino kung hanggang April 12 (Na Pagkakaalam ko e April 14 yan nung 1st announcement) bakit 6mos ang State of Calamity?! E April 12 tapos na Pala according to you Para saan ung state of calamity ng 6mos?!
DeleteI think kaya 6 months ang state of calamity dahil hindi agad-agad ang recovery (economy-wise). Di ibig sabihin dahil wala nang enhanced quarantine ay back to normal na ang businesses. After the quarantine panigurado marami pang mawawalan ng trabaho. Remember, global crisis ito, global din ang recession so it’ll probably take at least a year (optimistic point of view) before recovery starts.
DeleteOhhh, GISING??
ReplyDeleteY? Kung dati ba kaya ba gawin ang mass testing? Ngayon palang nagkakaroon ng kits e
Delete1:53 Mga donations ang testing kits ngayon. Parang wala pang nabibili ang gobyerno. Kakapiranggot pa lang ata. At hindi pa ako sure dyan. Dapat matagal na sila bumili. Pero wala eh. Mga incompetent.
Delete1:53 Bakit ngayon lang nagkakaroon ng kits given the fact na last year pa, kumalat na ang COVID 19? Pakit puro galing sa donations ang kits at wala tayong napapabalitaang procurement? Incompetent ang gobyerno, kaya gumising ka na rin!
DeleteLaway laway kapital sa kampanya kaya ang taas ng expectation. Yun pala wala naman binatbat sa national level. Kasuka
ReplyDeleteCLOWNS EVERYWHERE.
ReplyDeleteYou're one of them.
Delete9:50 Anu problema mo
DeleteMass testing is good. Kaso andaming praning na pinoy. Mass hysteria yan pag lomobo ng todo ang number ng positive sa covid
ReplyDeleteI agree. Kaya kailangan nila tayong latagan ng solid na plano (na nganga pa rin hanggang ngayon) at hindi lang basta lockdown nang lockdown. Susunod naman tayo eh. We are all just waiting for clear plans lalo na at malapit nang matapos ang ECQ, yun ay kung hindi sya maeextend. Para saan pa ang emergency powers kung puro lip service??
DeleteLol. Agree
Deletesumusunod? weeeeh. mga kptbhay nmin parang mga baliw kkainom at videoke. fiesta everyday. kasama pa asawa ni kapitana, lol
DeleteI love the lip service comment in the end.
DeleteThen do it already!!!!! Wala ng keme keme , gawin na kaya naman e. Lahat nag gagawan ng paraan at solution.
ReplyDeletesupport support lang pero walang actions haha antayin pa ang donations ng private sector para yung funds eh sa bulsa na nila idederecho
ReplyDeleteTumpak!! I Don't see the higher ranking officials updating our kababayans kung ano na ang master plan etc. para mapanatag ang loob nating mga Pilipino... Dito sa U.S everyday may update.
Deletemalaking chek! meron pang may i ask for additional powers wala naman din nangyare. ano na?!
DeleteUtang na loob, MASS TESTING DOESN’T MEAN na buong sambayanang Pilipino ang i-tetest. Hindi talaga kakayanin yun. Sana WAG po sanang LITERALIN ng mga panatiko diyan.
ReplyDeleteWhat MASS TESTING means is MARAMIHANG TESTING. Immediately test ALL PUMs/PUIs and FRONTLINERS. Unahin na sila. 6k ang PUMs. Nasa 1K ang PUI (?), less than 1K ang frontliners. We have 100k test kits. Less than 10k ang initial na kailangan. Bat hindi kaya?
After testing them, ISOLATE ang positive. Start contact tracing. Then TEST these people na nakasalamuha nila.
Gets ko naman na doctors make several tests sa isang tao to check if gumaling na, BUT WHAT’S IMPORTANT NOW is malaman ang POSITIVE, ISOLATE, CONTACT TRACE. Siguro secondary na yung re-test to check if recovered na.
Siguro mali pinagsasabi ko pero frustrated lang din siguro.
tama ka sis. yan ang ibig sabihin ng mass testing. iba kasing tao masyadong advance magisip. akala nila 108Million pinoy na ang ititest. kashushunga din.
DeleteBaka kc kulang yun machines to test the specimens. Kaya siguro sinabi nya na oo kung nandyan na lahat ng kasangkapan. We have the kits but we don't have enough machines to use with the testing kits.
DeleteCorrect! Ewan ko ba sa ibang tao. Tapos pilit kinukumpara sa mga 1st world countries na wala daw mass testing. Eh mga bes, iba naman standards doon. Nakaka 25k tests sila a day, even more. Pero hindi pa rin mass testing ang tawag nila. Dito sa atin hindi man lang ata nag 1k a day. Kaloka.
DeleteTrue. Mass testing para sa may symptoms and frontliners. Naclarify na yan before pero may mga slow na iniisip pa rin pangkalahatan.
DeleteSa ngayon kasi, kahit may symptoms ka na, it doesnt mean matetest ka. Under observation ka pa lang kung lalala ang kondisyon. For common people to ah.
Iba ang process for VIPs.😠
ang arte ng iba akala mo may pondo ang Pinas? relief goods nga pahirapan maka demand kayo.. Dito nga sa Canada kelangan nakaratay ka muna bago ka itest kasi alang budget sa mass testing..
ReplyDeletewhich means incompetent ang gobyerno at hindi inaallocate ang budget sa tama. may emergency powers pa nga diba pero anyare na?
DeleteMaarte? Buhay ang nakasalalay dito.
DeleteAnd hindi dahil ganiyan sitwasyon sa Canada eh hindi na dapat umalma ang Pilipino. Kaniya-kaniya ang iba't bang bansa.
Kumpara niyo yung population ng Canada sa Pop dito. Hahaha. Kung Canada hirap e paano pa dito?
DeleteMaybe incompetent talaga ang government ng Pinas. If may 10Php ka tas pakakainin mo 50 katao pano mo ibubudget yan? Kasi ganyan nakikita kong scenario sa Pinas.
Delete1:41 get your facts straight. San ka ba sa Canada parang iba yata ang nangyayari sa sayo sa nangyayari sa amin sa Mississauga (part of Ontario Area). Meron tayong drive thru assessment/testing center. Kung meron kang simtonas, tawag ka public health number, they will instruct you sa pinakamalapit na drive thru then get yourself assessed and swabbed. If your condition does’nt admission pauwiin ka and advised for self quarantine. Pls wag magpakalat ng disinformation.
DeleteSus. Pero may pampagawa ng caldero worth 50m? Haha
Deleteat diyan nga sa canada pa-allowance ng gobyerno ang lahat ng resident. diretso sa bank account all throughout the quarantine.
DeleteWhatever is Canada's reason for not doing mass testing, they're still working on speeding up their tests targeting 3000-5000tests a day. Sa Pinas 2680 pa lang ang natests, 1400 came out positive. That's so scary, kailangan nila irealign ang budget sa testing. Ihinto
Deleteang unimportant projects at ilagay ang budget sa testing. kailangan na talaga magingay ng mga Pinoy para madaliin nila.
Hahaha ikumpara pa talaga sa Canada, as if naman sobrang galing ng Trudeau admin.
DeletePeople are dying for lack of tests. Kawawa mga PUI na negative na nakaquarantine. Kawawa mg doctors. This is not kaartehan
DeleteTbh at this point people should be asking the ph government for ventilators, PPEs, and temporary hospitals. Too late na for mass testing, most likely kalat na kalat na yung virus and it's only a matter of time bago magmanifest ang mga symptoms sa mga infected. Bodies are about to pile up two weeks from now. Importante parin yung rapid tests, pero it makes more sense na at this point i-prioritize na yung staff sa mga hospitals, iflatten yung curve through lockdowns/quarantines, at to make sure na hindi maooverwhelm ang mga ospital (which honestly is too late at this point pero baka makahabol pa). The ph government screwed up with their initial response, and lost 2 months worth of preparation habang hinahayaang mag tour ang mga galing sa epicenter. Wag kayong magpadala dun sa mga shunga na nagsasabi na suportahan ang gobyerno cause they're doing eveeything they can--they're too incompetent and absolutely indifferent to the point that they all see you as collateral damage. If they can't get the equipmemt they're just gonna let the virus run its course without any mitigation and see if herd immunity could work. Don't let fanaticsm be the hill that you literally die on. Remember, nasa billion ang intelligence fund, may pera kayong ipinagkatiwala sa gobyerno.
Deleteagree with 251. basically, this government IS incompetent puro asa sa donation ng ibang bansa at from private individuals. pati yung dapat ay weekly reports ni duts sa congress at senate wala din nangyari binigyan na sya ng additional powers, wala naman effect.
DeleteOn point, 2:51. This is what I’ve been arguing about with my friends. The government’s response was too late. They were not prepared AT ALL. No contingencies in place, so they were left with no choice but to make a sweeping action at the expense of the people. I don’t think they contemplated on the repercussions of their actions. The swift order of a lockdown without implementation guidelines is a clear proof that they never had a plan.
DeleteThe people will always be their sacrificial lamb, “collateral damage” as the president fondly loves to call it.
ang stressful pag mass testing, sana kung meron man at nag positive, may lugar at equipments din tayo agad. Yung mala china na in ten days may hospital agad atska largest pa sya, lahat nang nagposotibo andun silang lahat, iisang lugar may equipments Kasi parang sa may pera lang talaga sya pwede, medyo nga nga ka if nag positive ka eh paano if may kasama ka pang elderly nyan? Eh may mga hospitals na na di nag aacept.
ReplyDelete1 billion ang intelligence fund ng malacanan saan nila gagamitin yun haha buti pa vp wala budget pero may naitutulong sa sitwasyon ngyon
ReplyDeletesa tru mars. andami nang nagawa ni vp yung poon wala pa din. JUSKO!
DeleteEh sabi niya may pera daw, di tayo magugutom, at di tayo pababayaan pero patapos na ang quarantine wala pa rin kaming natatanggap na food packs dito sa barangay namin.
ReplyDeleteIts been 2 weeks pero wala pa rin kaming natatanggap. Ok lang yun pero wala rin namang mabilhan kasi walang transpo. Sana DTI should implement a mobile palengke na in all LGUs. Kikita naman sila dun, eh. Para rin sa farmers and food producers natin ng perishable goods
DeleteSabi ni magaling na presidente mangutang daw kayo at sya magbabayad. Lol!
Deleteang mahal ng bayad sa cpa to prepare for my docs for bir compliance, andyan din ang bayad sa 3rd party auditor ng fs and docs prior to filing sa bir as required, tapos kada bayad ko ng bills, bayad sa resto, parking, gas at shopping may tax din tapos inuna niyo po magsipag self quarantine mga hayop kayo sa administration pagka kuha ng emergency powers???
ReplyDeleteSarado ang business ko dahil hindi kami essentials on hold ang collection namin, mind you nagrelease kami ng assistance sa mga tao din namin..kahit malift man ang ecq, sa tantya ko 2-3months before pa namin manormalize ang operations namin at makabawi sa lugi.
Hindi pa kami inaabutan ni kapitan ng relief dahil uunahin ang walang wala. They released the goods mid ng 2nd week ng quarantine tapos paramg 1-2 days consumption lang, akala ko ba gobyerno bahala ano na?
bwisit na "support" na yan, matatapos na ang lockdown, puros "support", kelangan ACTION!. yung iba wala pa ding relief goods, mag April na.. hayyy, kawawang pinas.
ReplyDeleteat least alam mong sinuportahan ka! lol
DeleteAsaan na naman ba si Duterte??? Humingi ng special powers on covid-19 case, nawawala na naman siya. Buti pa mga doctor and nurses sa frontline, call of duty ang ginagawa. Si Secretary Duque, ang hina sa decision making. Last minute palagi kaya daming nangamatay na.
ReplyDeleteDuque resign!
ReplyDeleteDuterte resign!
DeleteSupport lang ayun lang. Hay naku
ReplyDeleteThis government doesn’t care. They’re just waiting on China to play the hero para selyado na ang turnover
ReplyDeleteTrying to appease us? Ano muna ang gagawin sa nga tulad ni koko pimentel? Nakaramdam ng symptoms kaya nagdesisyon magpatest at gumala
ReplyDeleteMass testing gamit ang test kits from China. Sa mga European countries, binalik nila mga inorder nilang test kits from China dahil some of them are producing false positives.
ReplyDeleteThen do it. Ang tagal. It's like the lockdown. Nagannounce pero hindi pa pala agad agad, so ang dami tao nagsiksikan sa bus stations para mkalabas ng Metro Manila bago maglockdown. Dun palang sa siksikan taas na ng risk, worse ay naikalat pa to so many provinces.
ReplyDeleteDOH is the problem Pag pray na lang natin
ReplyDeleteThe government and the people who disobey rules are also part of the problem. Please pray for them as well.
DeleteSaan naman bibili aber? Puro dakdak. Eh US nga na maraming pera di lahat mapatest lahat dahil kulang ng supplies. Only with symptoms lang ang itest, phils pa kaya? Wag kasi g maging forever hater.
ReplyDeleteLast year pa nadiscover na kumakalat ang virus na 'to. If nakapaghanda lang sana ng maaga ang gov't and if Digong loves Philippines more than China, hindi natin poproblemahin ang testing kits.
DeleteAlso, don't you dare compare us to US and other first-world countries. Many third-world countries were able to contain and prevent the spread of the virus early on. If they were able to do it, why couldn't we?
Ito na naman ang pagkumpara sa US. 100k cases na ang US in about 2 weeks lang. Tingin mo konti lang tine-test nila? Hindi aabot sa ganyan kung konti lang. Iba pa yung sa negative na di hamak na mas marami. Sa nabasa ko, 65k a day na sila pero pinupush to 150k a day. Ganyan po kataas ang standards nila kaya wag magkumpara. Dyosko.
Delete2:54, what third world countries are you talking about. Have you looked at the numbers lately. The number of cases in poor countries are also rising everyday. And it’s just the beginning of the spread in these countries. The spread is definitely not contained.
DeleteSupport support e kulang naman action
ReplyDeleteHintay lang ng donation at support from other countries ang admin ni Duts. Ayaw mag labas ng funds sayang daw. Sa dami ng inaway na bansa pati America, akala yata ni Duterte may makuha pa siyang assistance from other countries like the help which we got during Yolanda. With the kind of incompetent admin we have right now, asa pa...
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha, support daw pero nothing is being done. Palusot lang palagi.
ReplyDeleteKeyword here is "Supports". It does not mean, he will do it.
ReplyDeleteThat’s their usual blah blah blah. Of course nothing will be done. All talk, no action as always. Lumang gimik na yan.
ReplyDelete
