Health Undersecretary Leopoldo Vega said it seems that the “Omicron wave” is upon the Philippines as COVID-19 cases continue to rise. COVID19PH Read more:

Vega said COVID-19 cases in the country have doubled in recent days and that “this is the start and we are very sure that this will peak.”Nonetheless, he said the Omicron variant is still not the most dominant variant in the country so far in terms of number of cases.

Vega said the government is preparing the country’s health systems capacity including testing and isolation. “I think we have still the Delta around… but since we reported our first Omicron case way back December 5 and there has been a continuously increase in the sequencing of this Omicron virus, it looks like we will presume that the Omicron is here, but it’s still not dominant,” Vega said.

Ayan na naman, manghuhula na lang sila

its like?

May pondo na kaya, heto na naman amg mga kawatan, nananakot.

'Seems'? Hindi niyo alam? 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

Look like, probably, might be. Hopefully ang ending, and we have to wait again again, to get a clearance for vacation otherwise hindi kami makakabalik here dahil ban ulit ang pinas? kumusta na?

Di kayo sure?!? FreeMassTestingNow

Duh. Hahahaha.

Nasan na kaya Si Gwyneth Chua? Naparusahan ba or nag “sorry” lang ok na? Sino kaya backer nya?

Which again begs the question, “Paano nakapasok yan sa Pilipinas?”

“Looks like” irrelevant na DOH today or yung mga naka-upo sa DOH🤔

The china vaccine will bite Pinoys because of its ineffectiveness against Omicron.

I think everyone knows this already without having the DOH say it. It was the same with delta, infact it was the same when covid started, DOH denied it was in country.

Nov. 28 when the first carrier arrived in the country but the government did not disclose it. You allowed people to enjoy the Holiday by not imposing a stricter protocols and now you are STILL not sure in this life-threatening battle. 🤡

'It looks like'..Di ka pa rin sureBuhay ng mga tao nakalagay sa alanganin pero lagi wla kayong urgency..Wala tlga usad na mangyayari..

mga taga Doh inutil talaga, 'it looks like' si duque ' malamang' ano yan base sa hinala nyo, di sa science.. mga obob...

'looks like', so dipashur?

Grabe naman sa looks like...hay doh.

Last week pa nandito na ang Omicron variant!

'looks like' hindi pa kayo sure? wala kayong ginagamit na metrics?

The ‘peak’ as you describe it could hit 40,000 new cases a day

READ: What a way to start 2022. It’s really 2020, too. With the loosening of some restrictions i.e kids, too many people in the malls & quarantine escapees partying it's no suprise. One foot salon I went to was filled to the brim. I got the hell out the second I saw how full it was. Pinoys are VERY bad with social distancing. Also are some establishments in malls asking for vaccination cards? Many haven't. I automatically show mine.
