Yep, too easy malaman fake nga or hindi, pero bat uma abot ng ilang thousands ang shares and likes sa mga fake news, kase marami paring mangmang, bobo, or trip lang talaga nila mag share ng ganyang uri ng posts, bagay na ikakapanic ng nakararami.

Saw this one, may ng share lang sa messenger group namin.
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10216341970763352&type=3

If ever na may makita kayong posts na obvious fake, plesse pa report nalang sa platform socmed, forum ot any social media websites.

Sa kadahilanan na maraming matatanda or bata ang di pa masyadong aware sa negatibong dulot ng socmed platforms. Mga taong tradisyunal magisip kaya mabilis maloko sa mga ganitong simpleng bagay. Dapat isa rin 'tong proyekto ng ating bansa ngunit binabalewala kasi tine-take advantage din ng ibang politicians ang mga false info especially kapag tungkol ito sa kalaban nila sa posisyon.

Sa katunayan, ginamit rin naman ng mga taong nasa gobyerno ngayon ang false information kaya narating nila ang mga posisyon na inaasam nila dati. Anyways, active ako sa socmed platforms, automatic na nirereport ka agad even mocha's page na puro pagpupuri sa mga politicians at fake news ang laman, it does not even make sense anymore. I hope yun din ginagawa ng iba.

On my ride out here, the cabbie pointed out  a neighborhood in the main city that had been cordoned off with roadblocks. He said they weren't letting people in or out of there because somebody had died of the virus there last week... He said its like that in at least 3 or 4 different parts of the city. Meanwhile, our media says zero deaths in this province and only 1 confirmed case.

It seems media have hiding some facts about what was reallt happening, covering up stories and event is not helping. Kung mayroon talagang casualty, or more confirm cases every part of it should be reported, kasi makaktulong to sa statistic ng covid cases para mas aware ang general public. Sana yung actual events huwag pagtakpan kasi considered as fake news din yung inuupload na stats kung may mga hidden casualty na ayaw ideclare. Anyway thanks for the heads up.

PS: you can respond in Tagalog and I can understand it fine, I just don't want to torture you with my own Tagalog.

I did respond with mixed Tagalog, but I am curious, meaning you are Filipino?  Or just a visitor who got stranded by any chance for having vacation on the Philippines? Sorry for this off topic question.

I'd like to hear some of your guys' stories about some of the things you are seeing around you in your respective cities and provinces.

I don't go out unless I'm going to buy in a nearby store (just few steps away) so I can only share what I observe.

Our neighborhood is quite lax in the sense that I don't see uniformed personnel roaming around. I still see few people walking in the afternoon maybe to buy some groceries. The presence of our local government officials is hardly felt probably because houses in our neighborhood are decent looking and they probably thought it's not a priority. The only time we saw some of them was during the distribution of quarantine pass. What I appreciate though is that our street is peaceful and I haven't heard anyone being apprehended for violating curfew hours.

Social distancing wasn't observe on few occasions (like a birthday celebration where around 15-20 people attended and crammed in a small space). I hope none of them is a carrier.



I just grabbed this image on facebook and it's a perfect example of social distancing  



By the way, if you guys are looking for an organization or a fund raising to donate to, check this one - NEED HELP TO BUY 2,000 BOXES OF SURGICAL MASKS

Our frontliners needs all the help they can get right now and it's a race against time. The fund raising started yesterday (Philippine time) and it has already reached 65% of the total target ($45K) as of this writing. If you can spare a few bucks, consider sharing. You can donate directly from your Coinsph wallet.  See details on the link. (Fund raiser's post) 100% Funded

Hindi ko lang sure hah pero base dun sa mga interviews na gawa ng media natin sa doctors mukhang hindi daw advisable na i-donate sakanila yung normal na surgical mask yung mas preferred nila and only mask is yung N95. Yung normal na surgical mask kasi yung nakikita din nilang main reason why a lot of their nurses and doctors are either part of the PUI or are confirmed COVID-19 positive. Just check out sa mga news tuwing gabi and makikita mo ang hinihingi nila mostly is N95. Ito talaga yung nakaka-kaba sa lahat na dati akala natin yung surgical mask is enough for us to protect ourselves eh kahit nga yung mga doctors and nurses na naka surgical mask, protective headwear nahahawa pa din paano pa kaya tayo diba?

[Bttzed03]

@Theb yeah N95 are the safest base sa mga nabasa ko din. If you know someone who has a readily available N95 masks at binebenta din niya ng maramihan, you can post it here (or contact the same fundraiser directly).

Nangyari yung fundraising na pinost ko dahil the supply is readily available na and can be delivered immediately (hindi na dadaan pa sa customs at iba pang pwedeng humarang). Gaya nga ng nabanggit, time is of the essence. The sooner our Doctors and healthworkers gets them, the higher chance na ma-save din sila from infection. Surgical mask + other PPEs gaya ng face shields to cover the entire face should be a good protection.

Edit 2: 100% funded na. Kung isa ka sa mga nag-donate, salamat!

Sunday Update:

Isang nakakabiglang pagtaas ng confirmed cases dito sa Pilipinas dahil 343 ang nadagdag sa isang araw. Hindi na ako magtataka kung ang confirmed cases dito sa atin ay umabot pa ng libo libo kung ang mga tao ay hindi pa rin sumusunod.

Umabot na sa 1418 confirmed cases dito sa Pilipinas na may 71 deaths at 42 ang narerecover.

Sa mga frontliners natin, 12 na ang doctor ang namatay dahil sa COVID-19.

COVID-19 cases worldwide as of 6:00PM

Total worldwide cases: 669,102
Total worldwide deaths: 31,068
Total worldwide recoveries: 143,128


Ito naman ang isang good news para sa atin.

Dumating na ang donation ni Jack Ma, founder ng Alibaba tech., na mga COVID-19 testing kits. 57,600 Testing kits ang dumating sa ating bansa dahil sa tulong na rin ng ating Senador na si Manny Pacquiao. #MassTesting #NoToVIPTesting

I totally agreed with Senator Gatchalian who critizing the DOH, to be honest di talaga ready ang DOH from the very start.

Hard to blame anyone but we can see the work of Government. Nakakapagod basahin and pakinggan dahilan nila lalo na yung mga reasoning ng ibang imbis nakatulong eh nanghahawa pa. Diba KOKO? Tsk. Hindi na sila naawa sa ating mga healthworkers and essential personnels.

Suportahan naman sana natin lahat ng frontliners, maswerte tayong mga nasa bahay at hindi ganun kataas ang risk natin na magkacovid hindi tulad nila na talagang buwis buhay. Kaya sana huwag na makulit ang mga pinoy, kasi sa dami ng matitigas ang ulo eh pataas ng pataas pa din at dumadami ang nacoconfirm cases natin.

Im worried kasi ang sister ko is sa banking industry and I am concern sa kanyang health. Sana safe din ang mga kapamilya ninyo na frontliners mga kababayan.

Isama na dito ang mga couriers especially drivers na nagbubuwis buhay din in every pasada nila to deliver foods and other necessary things lalo na mga medical supplies.

Mabuti wala pang confirmed cases dito kung saan ako naka stay, though may mga PUI and PUM na, pero same thing to prevent the city nag ECQ na rin dito. Stay safe people, stay at home.

Yeah may mga parang pagkukulang pero this is not really the right time to listen to criticisms from politicians who suddenly became experts in healthcare and medical stuffs. Wala pa ako nababasang reklamo o kritisismo mula kay Manny Pacquiao na siyang pinaka-visible sa mga Senador na tumutulong maliban kay Bong Go. The way I see it at this point, Gatchalian is not different to some rabid online social justice warriors out there (sorry sa supporters niya na makakabasa). Sana nga lang merong magaling na communications team ang DOH.

Nagbabasa ako ng posts ni Dr. Edsel Salvana, isa siya sa mga present sa mga meetings, at sinasabi nga niya na DOH and other agencies are working their butts of. He's been patiently explaining to the public yung tungkol sa proseso, which some politicians/journalists/online SJWs, don't understand. Hindi basta pwede madaliin yung mga request nila kagaya ng accreditation ng mga facilities at testing centers. Tama nga naman yung sinabi ng senador na time is of the essence pero may mga guidelines pa din na dapat sundin kasi nga buhay din ang pwedeng kabayaran kapag hindi nasunod ang safety protocols. Hindi ko na kasi mabalikan yung mga specific posts niya pero if you guys are interested in learning more about the technicalities, you can follow his twitter account https://twitter.com/EdselSalvana Mas maganda makinig sa mga may alam lalo na ngayon.

Its already half a month of community quarantine and the numbers of cases is still growing here in the Philippines.
~

Resulta na din siguro ito ng expanded testing. Dumarami na kasi mga kagamitan na donated at purchased kaya mas marami na ang nate-testing ngayon (dati kasi targetted tesing lang nagagawa).


May nabasa akong post (a transcribed phone interview with the FDA head Usec Eric Domingo) na maaprubahan na ng FDA yung mga donated 10-minute rapid test kits as early as Monday. The approval was delayed kasi daw they're not as accurate as the test kits they are currently using. Mas malaki daw chance na magkaroon ng higher accuracy rate kapag gagamitin this third week. Anyway, mas maganda siguro kung mabasa niyo din yung mismong post I leave it to your judgement kung maniniwala kayo o hindi. 

[acroman08]

I created this list in the hope of helping those who are looking for an active Facebook page of a certain city that has a positive case of COVID-19. also, the Facebook page of each city usually has a headcount of people who are infected on each barangay.

you'll notice that there are few cities that don't have a Facebook page link or share the same Facebook page link(they either have no Facebook page, inactive or the Facebook page cover both city). if you find an active Facebook page for those cities please let me know so I can update it. also, if I put the wrong Facebook page on a certain city please let me know.

lastly, I'm sure I missed a lot of cities and if you have a city that has a positive case of COVID-19 and is needed to be put on the list please PM me so I can add it on the list. Thanks!

Pag ganito yung mababasa mo on social media manlulumo ka na lang sa pagkaawa Lalaking gustong magpakamatay dahil wala ng mapakain sa pamilya Diba ang dahilan nito ay ang kawalan ng trabaho dahil sa locked down. Hindi na siya nakapagisip ng maayos dahil sa hirap ng buhay, pero hindi siya katulad ng iba na makakaisip ng masama na makakaapekto sa ibang tao.

Source:From Facebook

Nasan na yung sinasabing 5k Financial Assistance, ng DOLE na sanay makakatulong sa mga ganitong tao. The effects of locked down clearly reduced the chances of everyone to raise money for daily living especially yung mga walang wala talaga. Nakakalungkot and nakakatakot, kasi pag tumagal pa ito ( possibleng extended naman talaga) eh hindi lang yan ang makikita natin sa news kundi puro holdapan at nakawan sa mga grocery or tindahan, at sa mga may kaya na tao.

May mga nakakaalam ba or nakakuha na ng claim na ito mula sa DOLE? Sana'y ma ishare ninyo kung may pinakamabilis na paraan aside sa guidelines since hindi lahat ng empleyado ay may oras para gawin ang mga requirements na dapat gawin bago makakuha.

[Bttzed03]

Sharing some relevant news I've gathered

• I've mentioned about the Japanese anti-flu drug Avigan before and DOH is now looking into it - DOH exec: Japanese anti-flu drug ‘very promising’ treatment for COVID-19 patients
• May kumakalat sa social media about Prodex-B as an anti-viral treatment for COVID-19, wala daw itong basehan ayon sa FDA- Baseless claims of Prodex-B as anti-viral treatment for COVID-19
• Nabanggit ko na din about FDA approving rapid test kits as early as Monday (today) - FDA approves 5 rapid test kits for COVID-19, but requires confirmatory test for samples
• Much needed para sa mga healthworkers - 1 million PPE sets worth P1.8B due for delivery to DOH for distribution to health workers

Eto ang alam ko, employer ng isang private company na nagpatupad ng FWAs temporary closure dahil sa COVID-19 ang mag-apply sa DOLE at maglalakad lahat ng mga requirements. If approved, employers ang mag-distribute sa mga ATMs ng mga empleyado nila. Kung sakaling walang ATM, sa mga remittance centers naman. Basahin ang buong requirements https://governmentph.com/dole-financial-assistance/

Employees should contact their employers for updates too.

PRRD addressed the nation one week after he signed the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act in this video

Some takeaways:

• Php 200 Bilion budget for the low income households. Hindi kasama dito yung mga nakakaangat na sa buhay.
• Recovery packages will soon be rolled out para tulungan ang mga SMEs na tinamaan din ng matindi.
• It's rare to hear the old man extend his gratitude to the rich owners of the companies he goes after. To be fair to them, malaki nga naitutulong nila during this crisis.

Asahan natin na lalabas ang mga mas concrete at detalyadong plano sa susunod na mga oras/araw.

Ours has been given one day before the enhance community quarantine take effect, our barangay officials give it house to house. I heard on other barangays in our city that some of the residents have to go to the barangay hall to get their HQP which for me is very risky of contamination of the disease and physical distancing rule is violated.

Is the HQP ^^ yours?

edit:

I've just read above that you are moving to Lapu-lapu City, meaning that HQP is yours. Welcome to LLC my friend. I can say that this place is not as risky as New York for now but still it's safe if we just stay at home.

[Vaculin]

Have you guys got your quarantine passes yet? In case you didn't know, they are being distributed to places under lockdown by barangay officials.

I have secured a home quarantine pass already, in our Barangay, only 1 pass per household also and I think this is a uniform implementation.
According to our Barangay Captain, we can use this pass to other municipalities or cities but I doubt they'll allow us to enter, the best thing our municipality would do now is just to secure the needs of the people so if this lock down will continue longer, we can have our needs within the municipality only.

And also, there was no social distancing anymore when buying goods in a grocery as people are rushing for their needs.

There's no confirm cases in our municipality yet but I am still afraid of the risk.

[mk4]

*snip*

Quarantine passes are currently suspended from where I'm currently from; and I really don't blame the local government. In a nearby city, quarantine pass queues are PACKED with people. It pretty much defeats the purpose of social distancing. Hopefully other cities are dealing with the queues a lot better. Manual delivery of quarantine passes to houses are probably out of the equation as it would require a good amount of manpower.

More like a same scenario here in our vicinity and people seems lax because no case has been announced yet. I guess hindi dapat ganito kasi yung symptoms ng kung sino mang nahawaan na only starts week/s after they've been exposed with positive carrying the said virus. Hoping lang talaga na the government will be stricter on implementing the ECQ and people realized that this isn't just a case to deny for.

Just because the cases are mostly on those regions said by nutildah that doesn't mean other places will just be lax on the implementation. I guess yung mga tao soon lang magiging serious sa sitwasyon if they found out there has been case/s na ibabalita which is not good to see because pwedeng kumalat na yan wala pa yung results.

[REVISED] Full Transcript of Nation Address of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on COVID-19 Pandemic
Presidential Communications Operations Office Presidential News Desk

NATION ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE ON CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
[Malacañan Palace, Manila | 30 March 2020]

Sa ikatlong linggo sa ating pakigbisog against a formidable enemy.

As always, I give my sincerest gratitude to all those who are fighting in the frontlines: Our doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, police, soldiers, civil and servants everyone performing essential services in the private sector. I assure you that your efforts will be rewarded.
Your heroism will not be forgotten.

Saludo kami sa inyo.

Let me thank the LGUs who are doing their best to contain the spread of the virus in your localities. I see that you are employing innovative programs and initiatives to address the needs of your constituents.

'Yan ang dapat. Tulungan.

Rest assured that the national government is behind you as we safeguard the welfare of our people in your communities.

I issued an order through Executive Secretary Medialdea clearly laying down the of each responsibilities department in implementing the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act. I have given them their marching orders, emphasizing the need for sufficient authority, so that they do not have to go back to me and ask for clearance for each and every action they have to take. All of the details of our actions will be part of my report, which will be submitted to Congress pursuant to Bayanihan Act.

There are now only two powers in the law that I reserved strictly for myself: One is the power to direct the operation of private establishments. The other is the power to require businesses to prioritize contracts for materials and services necessary for the crisis. I will exercise these powers only when absolutely necessary.

The government is now taking action and undertaking several key measures to overcome and recover from the effects of this pandemic. These measures have three main priorities : (1) Providing Emergency Assistance to Affected Sectors, (2) Facilities [and] Resources for Securing the Health Sector and (3) Performing Fiscal and Monetary Actions for the Economy.

FIRST: The government is now launching the largest and widest social protection program in our country's history pinakamalaki itong tulong na ibibigay ng gobyerno sa mamamayan sa history natin, eh ngayon lang tayo nagkaroon ng problemang ganito - to make up for the loss of economic opportunities due to the quarantine measures in place for COVID-19.

We have allotted 200 billion pesos for low- income households who are badly affected by the current crisis. Sila ang nasa informal sector and those who live day-to-day on subsistence wages or "no-work, no-pay" arrangements. Beneficiary-households will receive emergency support for two months based on the regional minimum wage

However, I still count on everyone to also look out after their fellowmen --- their countrymen. To those who have more in life, I implore you to share in the cost of taking care of the less fortunate and keeping society our intact. They have also contributed to our prosperity in one way or [another]. So, let us support them in this crisis.

Let it be said that, in the hour of our country's greatest need, we all looked out for and helped each other.

Buksan natin ang ating puso sa nangangailangan.

I also appeal to the private sector to contribute, in any way you can, in dealing with this national emergency. We implore employers to do their part in protecting the welfare of the millions of Filipino households that belong to the formal sector and depend on their employers for continuous livelihood.

For those who have silently helped, away from the cameras, maraming salamat po.

The government will provide a recovery and package—especially to micro, small, medium enterprises—to help deal with the economic effects of this pandemic. My economic team is already creating the guidelines for this as I speak.

To our farmers and our fisherfolk: We have not forgotten and is government you now employing quick response measures to help you during the crisis as well as ensure food productivity, availability, and sufficiency during the period of the pandemic.

Nandito ang gobyerno para sa inyo.

The government is also ensuring the unhampered flow of cargo and their workers to maintain the continuous and steady supply of food, goods and other essential supplies and items. A price freeze on commodities is already in effect and measures to curtail hoarding and profiteering are also in place.

Uulitin ko hindi ito panahon para kumita. Hindi ito panahon ng pagsasamantala.

Food packs and essential non-food items are also being distributed [to] LGUs in Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon. Contaminated areas in the and Mindanao Visayas are receiving similar assistance. More will be given to augment the requirements of LGUs in the coming days as we repackage the items in our stockpiles.

Gagawin ko lahat para walang magutom.

SECOND: We are marshalling and deploying the resources of government to provide our frontline health workers with everything they require so they can save as many lives as possible.

We are now procuring medical supplies, devices and personal protective equipment.

About 1 million medical protective items are being acquired right now, with the government and the private sector working together to purchase or produce the necessary quantities.

We are also ramping up our capacity to test more broadly to take a fuller and more accurate picture of the spread of COVID-19 in the country. We will also build, operate and accredit more medical facilities and laboratories in the coming weeks.

The outpouring of donations and support from the businesses, organizations, foreign governments and private individuals over the past few weeks have also been overwhelming. I therefore like or would like to acknowledge the following for their help in this crisis:

• The Government of China
• The Government of Singapore
• The NGCP led by Bigboy Sy and Robert Coyuito
• Ramon Ang
• Enrique Razon
• Manny Pangilinan
• Lucio Tan and Michael Tan

• [Joji] Gotianun-Yap
• Udenna Foundation of Dennis Uy
• Also, Robert Seng
• Archie Po, 'yung who suffered a loss --- buhay niya, empleyado niya, pati 'yung eroplano nag- crash on an evacuation mission to Japan. My condolences to the families and I assure you na tutulong kami sa anumang paraan. Do not be discouraged.
• PAGCOR headed by Andrea Domingo
• The World Health Organization

Mahal kong mga kababayang Pilipino, nasa ikatlong linggo na tayo sa ating crisis na hinaharap. At tayo'y hirap sa pera, sa medical supplies, sa lahat. Eh dati ho naman talagang kulang ang pera natin at kulang ang medical supplies.

At hindi lang ho tayo, pati 'yung Amerika ganun rin kasi hindi natin akalain buong mundo na ganun kabilis dalawang araw lang, after receiving the advice from China, the crisis was already here: COVID-19.

Ang masasabi ko lang, meron tayong 200 billion na ibinigay sa akin ng Kongreso para gastusin ko. Iyon naman ho ang ginagamit kong pakalat ngayon na pera para mabigyan ang lahat. Galing doon sa walang trabaho, may trabaho, kalahating trabaho. Ang mga mayaman, hindi na kasali.

Ako nama'y umaasa na itong ating mga trabahante na Pilipino ay gawin nila ang lahat para sa kapakanan ng ating bayan. At ang kami dito, gawain ko ang buong kaya kong gawin para ho sa inyo.

Kaya nga hindi ako nakalabas eh ilang araw, dalawang araw. Pero usually in times of crisis ho kailangan ang isang trabahante ng gobyerno na binigyan ho ng trabaho para humarap sa inyo, makipag-usap sa inyo.

Ito ho ang garantiya ko: Ginagawa namin ang lahat ng makakaya namin. May mga doktor na, mga nurses, attendants, namatay. Sila yung nasawi ang buhay para lang makatulong sa kapwa. Napakaswerte nila. Namatay sila para sa bayan. Iyon ang dapat ang rason na bakit tayo mamatay.

Huwag tayong mamatay sa ibang rason, nasagasaan ka lang at wala ka namang ginawa. It would be an honor to die for your country, I assure you.

At ako naman ho, ang pilosopiya ko ho ganito, sa nagtatrabaho, kung protected ka lang, eh make yourself fully covered, protected para hindi walang madisgrasya. Pero ang doktrina ko sa buhay is ako, si Rodrigo Duterte, kung panahon ko na, panahon ko na.

So ganon na lang ang pagtingin ko kasi wala man rin akong magawa. Pumupunta ako doon sa mga lugar na may giyera, pumupunta ako doon sa may lugar na may pumuputok 'yung bomba, pumu --- pumupunta ako doon sa likod ng mga sundalo at nagrarakrakan sila ng...

Eh hindi ko masabi kung kailan ako, kaya sabi ko na lang, "Diyos ko, 'pag panahon ko na, kunin mo na ako. Huwag kang mag-atubili. Bahala ka na."

So sa mga kababayan ko, hindi ko naman sinasabi na sundin ninyo ang aking pilosopiya. But somehow let the thought comfort you that I really worry about you, that I worry that you will not be able to reach an old age with your children and grandchildren.

Kasi ako nandiyan na eh. Patapos na ako, kaya ko masabi 'yan. So trabaho lang tayo, ang mga supplies nandiyan na, at makabili na tayo ng kailangan ninyo.

Ngayon, sa mga tao na binigyan ng people tasked of distributing the money, distributing the food, distributing the relief goods, kindly do it. I use the word "to a T". Kung hindi ninyo naintindihan 'yan, mag-research kayo.

Pero talagang 'pag nagkamali kayo dito, hindi ko kayo palusutin. I will see to it even tomorrow, if I discover some embezzlements, some hoarding there, at dina-divert 'yung pagkain sa mga tao na dapat hindi sa kanila, you better think.

I am not a cruel man. Pero kung may report ang pulis, I will order your detention hanggang matapos itong COVID-19.

Sabi ko huwag ngayon. Huwag na huwag kayong mandaya, mangurakot at taguin 'yung mga pagkain at iyung iba hindi bigyan kasi... You know, people sometimes think that they own whatever they receive from government. This is not yours, neither is it mine.

Pero kung mamulitika ka tapos mabalitaan ko na 'yan ang nagawa mo, I will suspend you ora mismo. And for those who are really absconding the money, I will detain you, I said; and maybe I will release you pagkatapos ng COVID.

Hindi ako nananakot. Nagpapasalamat ako sa buong --- lahat ng ating mga doktor, who are honest, who --- talagang nagta-trabaho. Sa inyo po, personal kong gratitude na hindi mabayaran ng pera. Nagpapasalamat rin ang taong bayang Pilipino. Salamat po at ako'y regularly mag --- makipag-usap sa inyo until this crisis is over.

Huwag kayong matakot ngayon. Huwag na huwag kayong matakot kasi sabi ko may pera ako at kung meron man ang palpak-palpak diyan kaunti, ayusin namin 'yan. Ayusin ni Lorenzana 'yan, the implementor, pati sa DILG, at itong si Galvez ho. Puro military na 'yan sila.

At as a matter of fact ganito, lahat ng kontribusyon, lahat, ibigay mo doon sa opisina na set up ng Task Force. At may --- kung may releases man, lahat, accounted 'yan tapos then there's another audit in the integrity of the procedure.

'Yan lang po. Nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng trabahante ng gobyernong nandiyan. At ako naman po'y at the same time nagbibigay ng warning: Totohanan ko talaga kayo.

Sa crisis tapos gawin mo pa 'yang... Dapat ka talagang ikulong. Hindi kita i-release at huwag kang.. Hindi ako maniwala ng kaso-kaso. Hayaan mo magpapa-preso ako balang araw kung mali ang sinabi ko at ginawa ko.

Sa inyong mga Pilipino, mga kababayan kababayan, mahal ko, kamong mga Bisaya, sunod lang mo. Sumunod lang kayo at walang problema.

Daghang salamat.

Well, President Rodrigo Duterte promises that he will be announcing his address to the nation yesterday afternoon at exactly 4pm but he failed comply, he was late for about 7 hours and aired around 11 PM yesterday night. This might give a more negative image for the government simply because they are not following a simple notice.

Unfortunately, I didn't find any tape live version of the transcript in youtube for us to be able to watch.

PRRD addressed the nation one week after he signed the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act in this video

Some takeaways:

• Php 200 Bilion budget for the low income households. Hindi kasama dito yung mga nakakaangat na sa buhay.
• Recovery packages will soon be rolled out para tulungan ang mga SMEs na tinamaan din ng matindi.
• It's rare to hear the old man extend his gratitude to the rich owners of the companies he goes after. To be fair to them, malaki nga naitutulong nila during this crisis.

~

Follow up on this, eto yung mga target beneficiaries ng 200 Billion pesos social amelioration program (see image). Php5K-8K ang maibibigay sa low-income households sa loob ng dalawang buwan in the form of cash and food items (update Apr. 2, 2020 - PRRD already approved na cash na ang ibibigay accdg. to Sec. Nograles from his press briefing earlier) . Ang rate ay naka-base sa minimum daily wage per region.

Kasama na din diyan yung mga beneficiaries ng 4Ps. Bale dagdagan na lang yung Php2,125 na binibigay sa kanila ng DSWD hanggang umabot sa 5K-8K ang matanggap nila.

Siguro ang next na tanong ay kung paano mag-claim? Kakailanganin niyo ng Social Amelioration Card (SAC) na manggagaling sa inyong LGU o baranggay. Naatasan din sila na magbigay ng master list ng qualified beneficiaries sa DILG. Kung sa tingin ninyo ay qualified kayo, magandang makipag-ugnayan kayo sa inyong baranggay at mabigyan ng SAC form.
