Moderated by Sec. Harry Roque:
Narito po tayo sa Dumaguete, Negros Oriental para samahan si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte at ang Department of Transportation sa inaguration ceremonies sa dalawang infrastructure facilities.
Dahil sa improvement ng paliparan ng Dumaguete, maari nang mag-accommodate ng mas malaking eroplano. Tataas din po ang terminal capacity ng airport mula sa 330 hanggang 450 passengers.
Samantala, sa pag-upgrade ng Port of Dumaguete, kaya na nito mag-accommodate ng 500 pasahero.
Samantala, sa mga insidente ng mga pagpatay sa aktibista, ipinag-utos na ng Department of Justice ang malalimang pag-iimbestiga sa mga ito.
Mismo ang Pangulo na nagsabi sa maraming okasyon na anumang operasyon na may paglabag ay aaksyunan.
Sa UN Human Rights Commission at iba pang human rights groups, walang lugar ang impunity sa administrasyong Duterte.
Mananagot ang sinumang lalabag sa batas.
Tungkol naman po sa tinatawag nating COVID spike, patuloy pong pinalalakas ang pagtugon laban sa coronavirus gamit ang Prevent, Detect, Isolate, Treat, Reinegrate or PDITR.
Sa Malabon ang critical risk, simula February 27, ibinalik ang curfew hours mula 10pm-5am.
Sa San Juan na itinuturing na high risk din ay ibinalik ang curfew nitong Martes, March 9 mula 10pm hanggang 5am din po.
Mayroon ding ginawa na regular disinfection sa mga palengke, grocery, at talipapa tulad sa Navotas.
Sa Makati na high-risk area rin, sila ay may Otso-Otso campaign kung saan araw-araw dinidisinfect ang mga bahay, workplace at common area tulad ng escalator tuwing alas-8 ng umaga at alas-8 ng gabi.
May mga lungsod din po na nagpatupad ng localized lockdown. Sa Pasay, nagpatupad ng lockdown sa mga apektadong barangay.
Sa ibang bagay naman po, paalala po sa ating mga mamamayan na mamayang alas-2 ay sabay-sabay tayo mag-duck, cover and hold para sa ating Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill.
Shambhu Kumaran, India's Ambassador to the Philippines:
As you likely said, Sec. Galvez is in India right now.
The deal that was signed with the Philippines in the month of January with the Serum Institute of India was for the supply of Novavax vaccine which is US developed vaccine but manufactured in India.
The discussions are essentially underway for 30 million doses and I believe the Philippine side is interested in a larger number and the detail is currently negotiated.
We hope this vaccine can reach early in the third quarter or late second quarter. This will provide a backbone for the Philippines vaccination efforts in the second half.
We're very happy with this development.
Victor Lorenzo - Cybercrime Division Chief, NBI:
We're in close coordination right now with DICT, there was indeed a denial of service attack.
Nagkakaroon na ng proper attribution ang DICT and we'll be requesting them necessary details that they have to that attack so we can start our investigation.
We're confident we can track down the responsible hackers kasi may mga previous incidents na.
Dr. Paolo Borja, Asian Hospital and Medical Center:
Nagpaturok na ako ng Sinovac, 5 days ago, I'm feeling fine, no side effects. Not even localized swelling we usually see, same for my colleagues.
The reason why we selected Sinovac as our choice... is it's the first available vaccine that we received in the hospital.
As experts say, the best vaccine is the one in your arm so the first one made available, you take advantage of that to protect your self, your patients, your family and everyone else.
Well yes po, our advice would be is about strengthening the vaccination program for COVID itself. We are not specifying any particular brands.
We encourage all health workers and eventually general public to get vaccinated.
All vaccines have been proven to be relatively safe and by clinical trials so definitely po these will protect you against severe COVID and hospitalization so regardless of the brand.
