PHLPost: Post Offices to remain open, announces new schedule

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) announces that it will remain open to deliver and accept mails and packages nationwide.

PHLPost has assured that postal services will remain operational inspite of the Modified Enhance Community Quarantine (MECQ) in NCR and the General Community Quarantine (GCQ) which are being implemented in select provinces in the country.

PHLPost has been allowed to continue with its services at a capacity necessary to maintain the prompt delivery of services to its clients through its #PusongPHLPost.

Post Offices will be open three (3) times a week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) from 10:00 in the morning up to 3:00 in the afternoon for cities and provinces under MECQ while maintaining skeletal operations.

Acceptance of mails and parcels intended to other countries are suspended temporarily due to local and international flights cancellation. However, domestic mail dispatches shall continue to be transported by land and sea routes until further notice.

Meanwhile, those provinces under GCQ will operate in full capacity from Monday to Friday from 8:00 in the morning until 5:00 in the afternoon.

Processing and acceptance of Regular and Rush Postal ID will start on June 01 to comply with the government’s strict guidelines in the implementation of health and safety protocols.

PHLPost shall prioritize the delivery of express mails, medicines, items containing goods/perishable items, items from SSS, GSIS, and other public and private institutions containing pensions, checks/loans and leftover mails (vital communications/checks) during the community lockdown.

The postal agency apologizes for the delay and hopes for the public’s understanding and support in finding ways and means to better serve its customers.

Area post offices are also coordinating with barangay officials for mail delivery, cargo/shipping lines for transport of mails in accordance with local community quarantine protocols as well as the use of its facebook page for coordination and information to its clients via https://www.facebook.com/PHLPost.

Balakayodyan: Sagot Ng Gobyerno sa Daing ng Pilipino

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Needless to say, that without any available vaccine at this time, the next best option to really curb the infection rate is mass testing and effective contact tracing. But looks like the government has other things in mind?

Kawawa tayo, ang sagot lagi ng gobyerno sa madaming tanong - balakayodyan!

Huwag daw iasa sa gobyerno ang mass testing at pag-provide ng mga safety and health measures against Covid-19. Bahala na daw ang private companies and businesses sa kanilang mga empleyado.

Kaya isa lang sagot diyan... work at home nal muna mga empleyado... dahil dagdag lang sa pagkalugi ang gastos na kailangan.

The COVID-19 pandemic is not only a global health crisis, it is also an economic crisis - affecting millions of businesses worldwide!

Mass testing or "expanded targeted testing" is the answer while waiting for the vaccine which will be out by 2021! Segregate the positive, let the negative people restart the economy!

With Roque's 'expanded targeted testing' term causing anger and confusion online, does it actually differ from 'mass testing?'

What difference does it make when the government cannot really do any of them?

Just like his fellow lawyer Panelo, Roque is guilty of playing with  semantics.  The problem is, neither of them were any good at it.

"Mass testing, isolation, and contact tracing – this is where we should invest," says Professor Jomar Rabajante of the UP COVID-19 Pandemic Response Team.

And yet the national government hasn't implemented mass testing and contact tracing almost two months after the lockdown began. How will we know ECQ and GCQ are actually working and when it's more safe to gradually reopen the economy? The fact is that without mass testing and contact tracing, the cases of infection and illness are underreported and we all remain at greater risk.

It will take time for vaccines and potential cures to be fully tested for safety and efficacy, so until they're ready we need to implement mass testing and contact tracing just like what other countries have done in flattening the curve. This will help government decide how to restart the economy without risking an explosive rise in coronavirus infections.

Lahat kabaliktaran gingawa ng gobyerno. Mapapanood mo sa TV yung mga tao na pumipila para makakuha ng SAP. Napakabulok at incompetent ang gobyerno na ito.

DOH, sino po ang dapat managot? Yung mga pasaway na lumabag sa ECQ? Di po ba pinahihirapan nyo ang taong bayan sa kapabayaan nyo.? Madaming nawalan ng trabaho, nagtiyagang wag lumabas kahit napakainit sa loob ng bahay, madaming negosyo rin ang nagsara at saka yun mga taong pilit sinusunod ng patakaran ng IATF kahit labag sa kalooban nila... . Kelan pa nyo maaabot ang target testing nyo?  Sino ang may sala? Ano ang problema? Sana po kundi nyo kaya, umalis kayo at ibigay sa karapatdapat... Hangang kelan kami magtitiis?

The only cover up about Covid-19 is how China sought to keep it under wraps. Had the world know and undertaken measures, then only China would have been devastated and their economy will be the only one to shrink.

As it is China sought to level the field.
The whole world would suffer with China.

Duque Declares 2nd Wave of Covid-19 Pandemic in PH

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Ayon kay Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, kasalukuyan nang nangyayari sa Pilipinas ang "second wave" ng COVID-19 transmission.

Second wave??? We aren't even done with the first wave yet!

Hala...di pa nga nag flatten ang curve, nag plateau lang.

The first wave wasn’t even cleared? Was there a covid free period that the Filipinos weren’t aware of?

Is there a scientific basis for this statement?

Dahil hindi maflatten ang curve, inadvance na nila ang second wave. Charot!

To say there's a second wave of infection means that there are new infections coming in after we have dealt and flatten the first one!

To be a "yes man" is an excellent qualification to the poon. That is what "Duque on Heels" or DOH sounds like, probably following orders from Malacanang to justify their need for a second tranche of budget of which the first sum have remained an enigma regarding how the funds and donations were spent.

This person in-charge doesn’t know what he’s talking about. We’re doomed!!! He should have been fired a long time ago!

May point si Sen. Pangilinan, paano masasabing tumaas or hindi kung may backlog na 7k plus na inaantay pa din test results. Feel ko gigil nya, very challenging na mga tanong nya and may point naman. Paano nasabing flattening ang curve kung malaki backlog na waiting for test results.

Kaiyak tong Covid na ito!


Scary thought:

“Duque said a third wave of COVID-19 transmission would be the worst case scenario for Metro Manila if it will be placed under general community quarantine without enough testing.”

Trilogy pala ‘to!
