MANILA — Nakikipag-usap ang Department of Health (DOH) sa dalawang monkeypox vaccine manufacturer, habang patuloy nitong tinitimbang ang pangangailangan ng bansa para sa naturang mga pagbabakuna.

Ayon kay DOH Officer-in-Charge Maria Rosario Vergeire, maaaring hindi mabigyan ng isang bakuna ang mga may ilang comorbidities.

Samantala, ang iba pang bakuna ay nagkakahalaga ng humigit-kumulang US$ 210 bawat isa, at maaari lamang magsimulang maghatid ng mga supply sa unang quarter ng 2023.

“Mayroon na rin tayong discussions with vaccine manufacturers… ‘Yung 1st kasi, ‘yung isang klase ng bakuna, mayroon siyang parang contraindication to those with parang may cormorbidity, like clotting. It’s something that has to be given to those without these comorbidities, even though they are close contact of patients,“sinabi ni Vergeire sa House Committee on Appropriations sa deliberasyon ng panukalang budget ng DOH para sa 2023.

“The 2nd one, walang ganoong klaseng adverse event, kaya lang ang commitment sa ‘tin baka 1st quarter pa or first month of next year. Tapos quite expensive din, maybe because of competition and the shortage of supplies, the last time we were discussing with them, ang presyo na ngayon ng bakuna was 210 US dollars each. It’s quite costly,” dagdag pa niya.

Sinabi rin ni Vergeire na nakikipag-ugnayan sila sa mga manufacturer, ngunit sinusubukan pa ring timbangin kung talagang kailangan ng bansa ng bakuna sa monkeypox.

Ang Pilipinas ay may apat na kumpirmadong kaso ng monkeypox sa ngayon.

“We still have four cases. Three cases, the source of the infection is coming from abroad. This last case we cannot be certain, and we do not like to pronounce that this is a local case, because the history is quite vague,” aniya.

“We cannot get [an] accurate history coming from the patient. Our surveillance is up, we have been continuously testing those having suspected [monkeypox] lesions.”

Ayon sa mga eksperto, ang naka-target na pagbabakuna ay  ay magiging matagumpay sa pagbabawas ng monkeypox transmission, na pangunahing nangyayari sa pamamagitan ng malapit na pakikipag-ugnay. Posible rin ang iba pang mga kaparaanan, kabilang na ang sharing bedding, clothing, at ang prolonged face-to-face contact.

MANILA — Inihayag ni Atty. Si Vic Rodriguez, isang dating executive secretary na siya ay ganap na umalis sa administrasyong Marcos dahil gusto aniyang gumugol ng mas maraming oras sa kanyang pamilya.

Sinabi ni Rodriguez na tinalakay niya ang kanyang desisyon kay Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

“I confirm that I have completely exited the administration of President Bongbong Marcos, after having spoken to him at length about my wish to spend most of my time with my family…a very personal decision that was happily made,” saad ni Rodriguez sa kanyang Facebook post.

Dagdag pa ni Rodriguez na ang kanyang pananahimik hinggil sa kanyang pagbibitiw ay aniya isang “absolutely privileged” na interaksyon sa Pangulo.

“I have been ridiculed, maligned, and subjected to baseless and unfair commentaries on all conceivable platforms, but I take solace in the legal aphorism, ‘Men in public life may suffer under a hostile or unjust accusation; the wound can be assuaged with the balm of a clear conscience,” aniya.

Sinabi din ni Rodriguez na isang pribilehiyo ang maglingkod sa bansa at itutuloy niya aniya ito sa kanyang personal na kapasidad.

“It has been an honor to have served the country. Ako po ay magpapatuloy maglingkod bilang pribadong mamamayan sa abot ng aking munting kakayanan. Atin pong suportahan si Pangulong Bongbong Marcos at ang ating bansang Pilipinas,” ani Rodriguez.

MANILA – Nagsumite ng resolusyon nitong Martes si House Minority Leader Marcelino Libanan, na humihiling sa House Committee on Games and Amusements na maglunsad ng imbestigasyon ukol sa kontrobersyal na grand lottery draw na nakakita ng isang napakabihirang resulta kung saan mahigit 400 bettors ang naghati-hati sa PHP236 milyon jackpot prize.

“There is a need for Congress to protect and ensure the integrity of the lotto draws that contribute in a big way to government coffers and help finance public health programs, as well as medical assistance and services to indigents, among other charities,” saad ng 4Ps Partylist Representative sa paghahain ng House Resolution No. 463.

Itinampok ng HR No. 463 ang pangangailangang protektahan ang publiko sa pagtaya gayundin ang integridad ng mga operasyon ng lotto. Mula Enero hanggang Hunyo ng taong ito, ang mga sales ng lottery ticket ay PHP25.92 bilyon, tumaas ng 32.15 porsiyento kumpara sa mga sales sa parehong anim na buwang panahon noong 2021.

Ang winning numbers sa 6/55 draw noong Sabado ay 09-45-36-27-18-54 at nagkaroon ng kabuuang 433 katao ang tumaya sa kumbinasyong ito.

Ang bawat isa ay nakatanggap ng humigit-kumulang PHP545,000 bilang kanilang bahagi sa jackpot reward. 

Nauna nang binigyan ng katiyakan ng PCSO ang pangkalahatang publiko na ang mga lotto draws ay isinasagawa alinsunod sa pinakamataas na pamantayan ng pagiging transparent, matapat, at makatarungan.
