Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. said the Philippines may yet have a better Christmas despite the spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant and another uptick in cases. | GabrielLaluINQ

According to him, the task force believes many local government units in Metro Manila can achieve herd immunity — that is, fully vaccinating 70 percent of their population — by September by speeding up their vaccinations.

Also, Galvez said that 3.5 million of the four million vaccine doses requested by Metro Manila LGUs had alredy been delivered. This allocation could increase to six million before August ends. While Metro Manila would remain under ECQ until August 20, there have been talks about a possible extension given that the recent surge, believed to be led by the more infectious Delta variant, has caused a near-repeat of the March 2021 surges where numerous hospitals had full capacity.

According to the DOH, 95.9 percent of active cases have exhibited mild symptoms only, while 1 percent have remained asymptomatic.However, Metro Manila hospitals have continued to fill up their COVID-19 bed capacity, with 71 percent of intensive care unit beds and 63 percent of isolation beds being occupied.

GabrielLaluINQ Paano po?

GabrielLaluINQ Yes, better christmas for corrupt and greedy officials!

GabrielLaluINQ Hahaha people don’t need the better Christmas now , better health care and proper prevention of COVID-19 is very much needed

GabrielLaluINQ Ganun din sabi nyo last year.

GabrielLaluINQ I am here begging for your kindness to help me. I am dedicated to finish my studies despite of this pandemic and family situation.I am not asking for big amount, any amount of help is greatly appreciated and rt of orig tweet.🙏😭 Gcash- 09637365102

GabrielLaluINQ Do you numbers and data to support your statement?

GabrielLaluINQ King of projections! Ayusin mo yung procurement ng vaccines gg0! Ano ka manghuhula? 🤡🤡🤡

GabrielLaluINQ Czaraught!

GabrielLaluINQ Tang in bakit kasi sundalo nilagay dyan walang alam sa sinasabi nya

GabrielLaluINQ Ang kailangan namin ay mapalitan na kayo.

GabrielLaluINQ Ang gobyerno ni tatay Digong sa panahon ng pandemic 🙄 👇

GabrielLaluINQ Sinabi nyo na yan dati...uulitin nyo na nman...wala kayong kadala dala

GabrielLaluINQ better christmas mo mukha mo. better government gusto namin

GabrielLaluINQ Heck I'd be happy having a better next week.

GabrielLaluINQ You are spreading advance fake information Galvez.

GabrielLaluINQ Happy 67 billion

GabrielLaluINQ Galvez must resign!

GabrielLaluINQ He used the word 'may' meaning not sure...it can still go either way and wala syang pananagutan..no conviction sya statement nya..

GabrielLaluINQ If the military can't even solve the local insurgency, how in the hell can they solve this pandemic and the shit we're currently in?

GabrielLaluINQ Everybody wishes to have a better Christmas this year but with the prevailing rise of cases, lockdowns and large number of our kababayan not yet vaccinated, in my opinion Christmas will still not be as better before pandemic.

GabrielLaluINQ Promises... Promises... Promises...

GabrielLaluINQ + for u only, how can u say that? A lot of people still hve no jobs or lost their jobs strugglingchristmas

GabrielLaluINQ Well... after seeing the COA reports of unspent & unliquidated COVID19 response funds, I'm pretty sure some people will indeed be having a very merry Christmas - just not the Filipino people at large tho NasaanAngPondo NasaanAngPera

GabrielLaluINQ When will their eyes see the real situation? When will their heart feel what the Filipino are suffering? Our boat is sinking…. Yet they choose not to see from their huge yatch :(

GabrielLaluINQ Sec Galvez Jr. Please STOP following Rudy Baldwin...for Gods sake..

GabrielLaluINQ This is Galvez. Far better that the entire cabinet of Abnoy plus that Abnoy all rolled into one.

GabrielLaluINQ Nagdudunung dunungan ka kasi lintek ka.

GabrielLaluINQ wag kami. sabi pa nga ni tatay nung last year dec 2020 normal na daw. what a clown!!!

GabrielLaluINQ Eto nga sabi nya noong nakaraan e! Puro press release lang talaga! Nag retire na lang sya para na preserved yung credibility nya noong nasa military pa sya kaysa nanungkulang sa gobyerno ni Duterte! PH 'well prepared' vs Delta variant — Galvez

GabrielLaluINQ gung gong

GabrielLaluINQ Propaganda pa more!!! Gaguhin niyo mga DDS.

GabrielLaluINQ Umay

GabrielLaluINQ He's speaking for himself & his ilk only.

GabrielLaluINQ Para lang yan sa inyo sa buong gobyerno ni dutae puro mga kurap palpak at makakapal ang mukha 🖕🏽🤮

GabrielLaluINQ

GabrielLaluINQ Tumigil kana nga sa satsat mo, ikaw ang malas e

GabrielLaluINQ Galvez, misplaced and misleading optimism is mental dishonesty and machiavellian manipulation.

GabrielLaluINQ yan din sabi ng amo mo. happy na kami sa simple christmas, gusto namin better government

GabrielLaluINQ Don't give us false hope. Give us solutions.

GabrielLaluINQ isa ka pa

GabrielLaluINQ ANO BA IBIG SABIHIN NILA NG 'BETTER CHRISTMAS'? LINAWIN NYO KUNG ANO IBIG SABIHIN NYAN!

GabrielLaluINQ Hindi po puedeng 'nangangarap' kelangan po namin malinaw, kongkreto, transparent at realistic na plano.... na utak.

GabrielLaluINQ One thing I'm sure of: Many DDS govt officials, both in civilian and military/police, their extended network, and favored/astute businessmen will continue to have sarap-buhay amidst the pandemic. Why, there's disposable billions in their habitat. Below them is a sea of misery.

GabrielLaluINQ Maglatag po kayo ng kongkreto at pinag-aralang plano. Huwag pong 'patay-sindi, patay-sindi.' Example po, itong lockdown ano po ba talagang kongkreto at measurable ang ginagawa ng natl at local govt? Dito po sa amin parang pareho pa rin ang galawan ng mga tao.

GabrielLaluINQ A better christmas for corrupt agencies because much of the unappropriated funds are mostly converted to MOOEs in time for the christmas break. Being an autonomous body, COA has done its constitutionally mandate function to scrutinize govt transactions in the eye of the public.

GabrielLaluINQ Sobrang positive wala naman ginagawang tama

GabrielLaluINQ Deadliest COVID-19 variant.

GabrielLaluINQ nag iisip na naman na pasko 🙄

GabrielLaluINQ last yr pa yan ah hahaha

GabrielLaluINQ How is it better when there will be more families that will no longer be complete due to this government’s criminal negligence in responding to this pandemic?

GabrielLaluINQ Last year pa yan sinabi ni Digong, naging better ba 😷😷😷

GabrielLaluINQ Mag resign na kayo para mapalitan ba kayo, pinalalala nyo lang pag kalat ng virus.

GabrielLaluINQ Tired of BS. Get your act together and just distribute IVM. Head of Tokyo Medical Association is already calling for widespread use of IVM and HCQ. Kawawa mga tao sa kabobohan nyong lahat.

GabrielLaluINQ Laging high itong mga heneral nato. Hoy tinotokhang na mga adik.

GabrielLaluINQ One thing I'm 100% sure of: DDS government officials, including those in the military and police, will have even more sarap buhay amidst the pandemic. Why, they have billions at their disposal.

GabrielLaluINQ Galvez is now into prophecy?

GabrielLaluINQ Better christmas lang sayo kasi dami nyong pera to celebrate. Paano kami mga mahihirap walang pera na ngayon lalo na sa christmas.

GabrielLaluINQ

GabrielLaluINQ Until you get us the better vaccines we will never recover. Look at Indonesia, grabe ang surge. They have been using Sinovac also.

GabrielLaluINQ Noong December 2020 pa naipangako ni Duterte ang 'Better Christmas' na iyan! Mas kailangan namin ang 'Better Government' ngayon!

GabrielLaluINQ Better Christmas for you and cohorts? Likely. For ordinary citizens who unnecessarily have lost a love due to COVID? Impossible. Hindi nyo na mabubuhay ang mga namatay. That’s on you and your failed COVID response. dutertelegacy

GabrielLaluINQ We are vey optimistic about Christmas. These govt officials must exert massive effort to overcome this Covid and delta variant cases. Don’t say comment about positivity until end November. Too early to predict what shall happen b 4 Christmas. Focus and keep silent.

GabrielLaluINQ Paano? King of Wishful Thinking! We really have a 'General' problem.

GabrielLaluINQ Yan din sinabi ng poon mo last year

GabrielLaluINQ Toxic positivity

2ND HIGHEST EVER: PH logs 14,249 new COVID-19 casesBREAKING: The Philippines on Saturday logged 14,249 more COVID19 infections, the second highest single-day tally since the start of the pandemic, with deaths crossing the 30,000-mark. One of the reasons of the high infection rate is due to the number of passengers in jeepneys, buses and e-buses is not followed. The number of passenger which is 50% of the total capacity is not been followed. It never came as a surprise. The script is obvious to majority. The figures will increase during this August, the DOH will say it was those exposed to the virus before the ECQ & MECQ. Then in September, the figure will gradually reduce, they will say if not for the lockdown hmm!!
