Mass testing is a very wrong and very dangerous way of describing what we must do,” said the deputy chief implementer of the government’s response against COVID-19. | ttorejasINQ

Dizon also serves as presidential adviser for flagship projects, and president and chief executive officer of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority .His first order of business in his new job was to make four “mega swabbing sites” operational in the first week of May. These are the Philippine Arena in Bulacan, SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, Enderun Tent in Taguig City and Palacio de Manila in Malate in Manila.

Citing the global shortage of testing kits and the limitation of local capacity for making tests, the DOH prioritized two subgroups to test.In Subgroup A are patients or health-care workers with severe or critical symptoms, relevant history of travel and contact with infected persons. Those with mild symptoms will be in Subgroup B.

Actual tests have averaged 11,000 daily, which is less than half of of the testing capacity. “We are not happy with that,” Dizon said.The daily testing capacity rose from 2,000 in March, to 5,000 on April 15, 8,500 on April 30, 20,000 on May 15, and 32,000 at present. The testing laboratories will themselves be tested to their limits by an expected surge in the number of Filipinos returning home after losing their jobs overseas due to the pandemic’s impact on the global economy. An estimated 300,000 will be arriving in the coming weeks.

But the government needs to be “very aggressive” in the 3T strategy since it would entail infrastructure, Dizon said.

ttorejasINQ bakit kasi inubos na pera?san napunta..pa liquidate po.

ttorejasINQ This is a PR.

ttorejasINQ Ba't ba ang daming bobo?

ttorejasINQ What is wrong and very dangerous is the administration’s inefficient and ineffective response to the pandemic.

ttorejasINQ Dangerous sa admin

ttorejasINQ Concept of Mass Testing from the Expert.

ttorejasINQ Excuse me, but Wuhan doesn't agree with you.

ttorejasINQ

ttorejasINQ very wrong nga bukod sa walang kahandaan nacorrupt Ang pera

ttorejasINQ Mga dementors ng taon 😒

ttorejasINQ WTF!! Kung mali ang Mass Testing bakit ganyan ang rank natin..! Pinapatay ninyo unti-unti mga Pilipino!!

ttorejasINQ “Nobody in the world will do [mass testing] or has done this simply because you don’t have to,” Dizon said. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ 👊🏻💩

ttorejasINQ Playing with words is insensitive while fellow Pinoys die everyday! Why tow the line of the PH govt? Shd we seek a better solution to this problem? Or shd we just sit back and see how many more people will be afflicted and die all becoz of our limited resources?

ttorejasINQ Should have just said 'Mass testing is the ideal way to do it, but unfotunately we do not have the capacity nor the resources to do it. With shortages around the world we will make due with ...'. Sometimes the correct words will help the people be at ease in these trying times.

ttorejasINQ Mass testing/targeted testing is a must. Korea and Taiwan are good examples. The people need to know exactly what needs to be done. This is a national issue and need not be divisive.

ttorejasINQ Ilang bansa na ang nakita natin nag mass testing and the results are all worth it. Parang gusto nyo na lang ibaon ang statistics ng mga taong nag + sa covid by ignoring mass testing.

ttorejasINQ Pagtabihin natin ang resibo para masaya. Nakakatuwa sya, bata pa pero malilimutun na.

ttorejasINQ Sino ang susunod na lalaban sa pabobohan Potang mga opisyal to may goa ata sil na by june 2020 20 na lang din iq nila. INCOMPETENTTT TO THE BONE

ttorejasINQ DDS posts will sound like this real soon fo sho

ttorejasINQ Long war talaga...wow...at balak nyo talaga alagaan ang virus, Yan pla plano kaya hinayaan nyo kumalat imbes n icontain. Gawin daw bang milking cow.

ttorejasINQ Who gave you the idea that it’s wrong? It’s every right of every human lives. Eh kasi tigilan nyo na yung Pagnanakaw ng pera ng taong bayan! Halos lahat ng country ung strategy is mass testing. Backwards pagiisip nyo. Balik skwela Po.

ttorejasINQ huh? very wrong? kulang nalang sabihin mo major major wrong. dont tell me that mass testing for u is testing the entire population from infant down to the oldest human being living in the Phils

ttorejasINQ Hahaha! Pabigyan na natin sa meaning ng mass testing ang admin pero pustahan tayo kahit yang 2% ng population ng Pinas at yang Trace Test Treat or T3 nila ay hindi din nila magagawa. Hahaha! By that time may ibang excuse na naman yang mga yan.

ttorejasINQ Sa sobrang ganda ng It's more fun in the Philippines na campaign. Ang mga naatasan sa pamahalaan ang mga payaso. Para mamaintain natin ang it's more fun in the Philippines. Sila sila na rin ang endorser. 🤡🤡🤡

ttorejasINQ Wrong?!? Saklap ng nangyayari sa Pilipinas. Lahat palpak

ttorejasINQ pag armas bili agad pero kapag sa health facilities/supplies at pondo for mass testing ANG KUKUNAT NYO PWE!

ttorejasINQ If government is smart enough to require all business establishments to re-open only if its employees, contractor and subcontractors be tested. Thats around 41M workers.

ttorejasINQ Is the man in charge of Clark where Chinese employees had their testing while the Filipino employees were not given testing?

ttorejasINQ Simply an excuse, because our gov't can't.

ttorejasINQ expert ba to sa health? Hinde? Anong pinagsasabi nito?

ttorejasINQ Wrong mo mukha mo. Mass testing should be done at least 5% of the population to identify people needed to be quarantine di yung muro ECQ lang alam nyo!!!

ttorejasINQ Dizon= protektor ng Chinese POGO. Oddly nauna na natest ng marami beses ang mga DDS politicians and thier family.

ttorejasINQ Anong kabobohan ang Mass Testing na yan? Anong bansa na ba ang nakapag-mass testing na? Pabobo ng pabobo na lang? 🙄

ttorejasINQ Dangerous?Really?🤯🤯🤯

ttorejasINQ Ang BO BO BO hanep

ttorejasINQ namputa ang pamahalaan na ito

ttorejasINQ Kasi mga non-md ang namumuno. May MD nga wala pa rin. Haaayz!

ttorejasINQ Again binobola na naman tayo sa semantics. The world over calls it MassTesting, why cant we if it’s appropriate. Plus, If you target 2% of the population... MassTesting level na yan, tanga!

ttorejasINQ

ttorejasINQ What the F*ck is this boy saying? Pulpul! Matagal ng strategy in the “plans”. Natapos na ang 3mos Quarantangina,ewan kung ubos na 275B ang pinag-uutang ng gobyernog nagtulog-tulugan,at ang lech*ng nagkawindang-windang na stats ng true covid infections ng DOH... patay na kabayo!

ttorejasINQ Mass testing is very wrong because it will force us to source out or choke up money to help the asymptomatic when weve already got our hands full with the active cases. Whats wrong with you people. Have some compassion. My ass...

ttorejasINQ Ngayon ko lang narinig na 'very wrong and very dangerous' ang mass testing kumpara sa dami ng mga bansang matagumpay na nakagawa nito. Wrong and dangerous nga ba ito, o hindi lang kayang gawin ng gobyerno? Derechahin na lang sana. Daming palusot.🙄

ttorejasINQ Pero sa POGO lahat tini test

ttorejasINQ Ang problema kahit selective o 2% na lang ng population hindi pa rin ma test ng DOH.

ttorejasINQ I can’t believe PH under Duterte lang ang may issue na ganito sa BUONG MUNDO. Mas concerned sa kung anong tawag kesa kung anong kailangan gawin.

ttorejasINQ Dangerous ampota!?! Bakit ba kasi ayaw pa din nang Mass Testing? Dahil ba mababasawasan ang mga naibulsang kaban nang bayan?

ttorejasINQ Pinabobobo niyo lalo ang Pilipino. Kung ipapaliwanag ng gobyerno ng maayos ang tunay na kahulugan at pangangailangan sa mass testing ay mas madali nilang mapipigilan ang pagkalat ng virus. Katotohanan hindi kaguluhan.

ttorejasINQ Mag usap kasi kayo at gumawa ng plano. Kahit huli na baka sakaling umabot pa!

ttorejasINQ Sa Pilipinas Lang talaga nagkakaroon ng confusion sa mga terms gawa Ng mga pulitikong epal at mga doktor na kinukunsinte Ang kashungahan nila. Enough of these word plays!

ttorejasINQ According to IGC, mass testing means to rapidly test a large percentage of a particular country's population. The deputy chief is only introducing mnemonics to make his ideas appear incredible.

ttorejasINQ Do not impress us with your credentials. Your field is Economics. Who would believe you?

ttorejasINQ Parang may kaaway yan every time he speaks

ttorejasINQ Mahilig kayo sa semantics. Mass testing is not 100% testing. It is a strategy to test all people in one area that high prevalence of covid-19 infections. Parang mass wedding sa isang lugar lang, hindi lahat ng Pilipino ikakasal.

ttorejasINQ He has his work cut out for him, for sure. But im satisfied, for now, after reading the whole article, that he seems to know what he's talkin about and that his targets and plans are pretty clear.

ttorejasINQ wala bang matino sa Du30 admin?

ttorejasINQ Again, this is a battle of semantics. He's trying to say na given limited testing kits and capacity (labs to process kits), better to target higher risk indivs and those with mild symptoms for the moment. The article mentions his intention to ramp up capacity too. A better

ttorejasINQ Whatever term you guys want it, just do it, because we're way off the target after almost 3 months of quarantine.

ttorejasINQ Sa drug war ang dali maglabas ng pondo pag mass testing wala.

ttorejasINQ boplaks

ttorejasINQ kasama ba sa mass testing ang NPA?

ttorejasINQ

ttorejasINQ Paulit ulit na tong usapan na to. Yes, we understand what MASS TESTING means, and we don't expect 100% of the population to be tested. You're twisting the definitions because you cannot even meet the BARE MINIMUM. Maybe stop putting priority on Chinese nationals working for POGOs

ttorejasINQ C’mon Sir brainless lng ok it’s ur way of expressing ur incompetence thank you knya knya n lng ang peg nyemas

ttorejasINQ I think Ibig nyang sabihin dun sa statement eh di porket nakapag mass testing na pwede nang iopen yung ibang mga istraktura. Ex, marami kasi satin nagsasabi na mass testing muna bago magbalik eskwelahan which is wala rin naman matutulong sa pagpapababa ng no. of infected.

2022 na ba..? kailangan na palitan mga utak kamote na nakaupo 🤦‍♂️

ttorejasINQ What kind of stupid shit is this?

ttorejasINQ You should have done one test on each house on the first lockdown while it were still containable , it doesn't have to be the entire country . Metro manila will do, as it started to spread there. Now it will be full blown , it's disastrous.

ttorejasINQ Semantics na naman ito. How many times do we have to tell these government officials that mass testing does not mean testing everyone? Nakakasawa na. His target to test 2% of the population is actually mass testing!

ttorejasINQ ntfcovid19ph so Vietnam, Taiwan, Singapore did a 'very wrong and dangerous' thing?

ttorejasINQ how is 'testing the population for a virus during a pandemic' wrong or dangerous in any way?

ttorejasINQ

ttorejasINQ A wrong Test Result is worst than a No Test.

ttorejasINQ But didn't the Palace, through spox Harry Roque, expressed the need for Mass Testing, which will be shouldered by the Private Sector?

ttorejasINQ Ala kuya ok k lng ba kaya nga nmumayos ang South korea s covid dhil s mass testing tapos ganyan ang sa2bhin mo.. Ala kuya ok lng b talaga..

ttorejasINQ designated genius?

ttorejasINQ Delikado pala ginawa ng vietnam, taiwan at iba..punyemas kayong nasa gobyerno ng pilipinas

ttorejasINQ It seems he sees the wrong way regarding mass testing. PH cannot be slow in this pandemic. If we keep doing things in a slow phase, more and more will die and will be infected. He is not an pandemic expert. Sorry to say but he has no background abt this kind of situations.

ttorejasINQ Coming from one of the key persons of the last Sea Games that was full of SH*T?!! 😂😂...🤢

ttorejasINQ Pinagsasabi ng kupal na to

ttorejasINQ Just because we can't or refuse to do it doesn't mean it's wrong. 🤷‍♂️

ttorejasINQ Tangina! PINAPATAY NIYO KAMI! PINAPATAY NIYO MGA KABABAYAN KO! MGA HINAYUPAK KAYO!

ttorejasINQ Bigyan ng tamang impormasyon ang mga tao. Anong mali sa mass testing? Harapin ang katotohanan.

ttorejasINQ What an airhead! Mass testing in Vietnam, SoKor, even effing Wuhan, flattened their curves. Dude, go back to selling pieces of our old military bases off to the Chinese. We need medical solutions from REAL doctors/scientists, not economists/management postgrads! Tengene! 🤬

ttorejasINQ Kapag dumami ang itetest, lalabas ang totoong numero. Yung ang dangerous tama ka... dangerous sa gobyerno at lalo na sa tao. Panic mode na siguro.

ttorejasINQ WTF! We are doomed! Saang bansa may nagsabi na very wrong and very dangerous ang mass testing?! Dapat yata ipalibot sa bahay nitong gunggong na ito yung covid + e. May utos ba ang China na maubos dapat ang tao sa Pilipinas?

ttorejasINQ Dangerous? Ano na po ang gagawin?

ttorejasINQ kasi naka vip kayo kasama ng mga chinese pogo mo

ttorejasINQ Give these geniuses a dictionary! MASS testing doesn't mean testing the ENTIRE POPULATION. Only you gov't clowns are distorting the meaning to explain away your shortcoming. When Filipinos call for mass testing, we simply want free and accessible testing for those who NEED it.

ttorejasINQ Mass testing is not testing everyone...how do you start tracing if you haven't tested?

ttorejasINQ Di pa ba tapos ang definition of terms. Pambihira nmn.

ttorejasINQ I just hope his assessment is also guided by scientific/medical data and studies. Not to undermine his brilliance as a manager and economist but viruses behave differently. I pray that his approach is the most appropriate one for the sake of our country.

ttorejasINQ Not sure what to think about these people. The experts advising them already explained what is mass testing that is testing 1% of the population but they’re still singing a different tune.

ttorejasINQ Are these people the best and brightest that the bureaucracy can offer? It’s time to level up! People’s lives are at stake!

ttorejasINQ I would rather be wrong and dangerous as long as I can save as many lives as I could. But I think it is you sir who have the wrong conception of “mass” testing.

ttorejasINQ Mass testing is neither wrong nor dangerous

ttorejasINQ

ttorejasINQ What’s very wrong is mangutang ng pera para gawing fund for COVID-19 tapos hindi gagamitin bagkos ibubulsa ng gobyerno.

ttorejasINQ If that is your approach then we are surely fucked. Poor Philippines for having shitheads to lead us.

ttorejasINQ Yung may sarili silang dictionary, marami na silang na twist na word.

ttorejasINQ Whether it is mass or targeted testing, if govt keeps its slow pace then we may never ever curb the disease. Govt says doubling time is about 5-7 days, hence need to trace fast, test, isolate and treat. We're not lagging behind a bit, we're way way way behind! Need to act fast!

ttorejasINQ Puro chinese naman tiniest mo. Sana 2% Filipino citizen. Sayang test kits uy!!

ttorejasINQ As if the spread of the pandemic could be limited to only a certain number of the population. As mentioned, their focus is still the symptomatic. Their policy is still just following the trail of the disease. It's not one that works if you want to prevent its progress.

ttorejasINQ “Our experts are obsessed with semantics to conceal unpreparedness and illusion of competence.”😷

ttorejasINQ Alam mo lang mag basketball, lols...

ttorejasINQ Haba ng paliwanag. So wala pa rin?

ttorejasINQ TABOGO!

ttorejasINQ what is dangerous is having you as a leaders of this country....

ttorejasINQ Ano alam mo sa epidemiology? Paggawa jg ginintuang kaldero ka lang magaling...

ttorejasINQ Whatever the plans are, communicate as ONE, commit resources, ensure transparency, integrity, be competent! P20B PPE but lack testing, little and inconsistent data, late and incoherent actions, no clear leadership directions, anti poor directives. Just get the sh*t done!

ttorejasINQ Ur position does not make u an expert. On the contrary, it will only show how incompetent u are.

ttorejasINQ Battle of the Brainless among the BEST and the BRIGHTEST ni Duterte.

ttorejasINQ Nalintikan na. LONG WAR DAW. Ilang taon? Napaka-kupad at napaka-ineffective nyo naman kung tatagal ‘to. They are OBVIOUSLY using the virus to control movement of people. Galit na ang tao pero walankayong gnagawa to speed up. Emergency powers, anti-terror bill, abs shutdown.

ttorejasINQ TANGA

ttorejasINQ 🤦

ttorejasINQ We're not stupid. Pag MASS ba ibig sabihun all? Stop confusing us and do your job.

ttorejasINQ 'Very wrong and very dangerous' nga naman talaga... Umabot tuloy ng lampas 17+ K ang confirmed positives at 1+ K ang mga namatay dahil sa kagagamit ng terminong 'mass' testing... GG0 KA BA! 😤😡👊💩

ttorejasINQ Ha? Seriously sir? Anong mali sa mass testing? Its you guys in govt who twist the meaning of mass testing. Please wag kami.

ttorejasINQ Mas maling mali at very dangerous din yung sabihin mo na target ay 2%..paano kung ang infected pala ay 5%..mass testing mas tamang term..

ttorejasINQ Large numbr of people tested to get idea how widespread covid19 in the population n know what preparation to be done to isolate n treat with covid19 symptomatic n asymptomatic

ttorejasINQ Testing 2% then after that some asymptomatic who haven’t test still spreading the virus , just like what happened to Singapore second wave hit them

ttorejasINQ All this talk is BS if results are manipulated by DOH.

ttorejasINQ It’s not testing the 110million Filipino who crazy thing will do that mass testing means a large number of people that could trace in contact testing like what Vietnam and Cambodia did enforcement of strong contact tracing is the key this people should read how Vietnam did
