Pilipinas Kong Mahal 💀
Kayong lahat dito sa thread hindi nagbabasa. Karamihan sa Pinoy hindi matitigas ulo. We used prevention, we lockeddown early thats why our numbers are low. We won't be like those countries as long as we stay home & follow protocol. Yang mga bansang yan downplayed Covid 19.
I think it's prevention rather than cure that's saving us. The early lockdown is prevention. I realized that as a people, we are less stubborn. We did Not downplay the virus. With lack of testing kits & doctors, those exposed must be tested 1st.
So sad!
rhardo , kung tinuod ni. Ambot na lang jud.
Shut up rappler all you do is spark negative discussion. That's not journalism. That's toxicity. Gtf outta here.
grabe.. .... ..
Pati sa covid test kit last parin tayo.😂😂
South Korea is most ahead from every country tho? And Philippines should really test more people to prevent spreading of virus. It's really problematic. The funds are not enough to comply with everything.
MY GD MARGA'S ANO?
Pano kasi 'Me First system'pinairal ng mga feeling VIP..at di firm sa mga desisyon DOH..mantakin mo magself quarantine kung di p malala ang symtoms,hahaha..
What n the world are the goverment officials doing? What s duque doingm sir, pls step up. Do we just wait for people to drop dead? Please sir!
Not according to the DOH! They said we are ahead of countries like Spain, Italy, in the United States.
Golly. So, for every 1 confirmed case, possibly at least 10 more has it? This is why it's very important to stay home.
Bakit kasi tong c Duque nag PA prescon na handa natin Laban an ang covid 19. Yung mga medical workers wala ngang protective equipments.
Yung 11 out of 12 tests po ata ay politicians. POLPOLitika
At sa 12 tests na yun, 10 ay mga VVIP lol
There are a few other hospitals with RT-PCR equipment but they need to comply with some requirements so they can use these for CoVid testing. In emergecies like what we have now, DOH should be more lenient with these requirements.
The Office of the Pres. should let go of its “intel” funds for the fight against COVID so the money can be put to good use. Gov’t officials should “donate” their stolen money. We need all the funding to provide the necessary resources for us to survive as a nation. StopCovid19
I hope those four other Philippine testing centers get approved so that RITM can be relieved of their overwhelming number of tests that need processing. MassTestingNowPH NoToVIPCovidTesting
What is the purpose of this post? Why are you comparing the testing rate of 12:1M? Bakit, lahat ba ng 1M are showing symptoms and kelangan e test? Be reasonable on your reporting, media should educate the people, not causing unecessary hype that can cause public alarm.
whay
Trashy article not worth reading even in the toilet. smh. Articles like this do not help. Have it written by people of substancial figures of authority in the field. You are just parroting all shit in the internet that you read.
MassTestingNowPH NoToVIPCovidTesting
So for every full line of Senators for each mid elections you VIP Test... You trade the importance of COVID19 for a million people. MILLION FILIPINOS. Absord that! NoToVIPCovidTesting
Magtu-200K na ata ang donated test kits, pero wala pang 1.3K ang nate-test. Naghihintay pa din ang mga PUIs & PUMs at naghihingalo na yung iba, pero uunahin pa din mga alagad ng Poon. Kaya ata ayaw mag-mass testing ay para maitago ang tunay na resulta ng kapabayaan nila ✊😤
So let's beg some more from other countries...
mariaressa With our healthcare system overloaded & everyone working in the medical field running on overdrive, we all should pull together and act with good intentions. Patience is key. Conserve our energy. There is much to do when all 'this' is over.
Everybody knows that testing is very critical in any Pandemic. Napakabagal ng Gobyerno natin. Walang ibang sisisihin kundi ang gobyerno kasi responsibility nila na pangalagaan ang sambayanan. HINDI NILA GINAGAWA ANG KANILANG TUNGKULIN!
Sinayang pa sa mga politicians na wala naman masamang pakiramdam. Sige, iboto nyo pa sila.
As always. May bago ba don? 🙄
Sounds about right for a country that would prioritize free WiFi for its people over free drinkable water.
Unahin ba naman ang VIPs e. Haaay. Kalungkot.
