Gwyneth Chua and our poor implementation of Covid-19 health and quarantine protocols

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

"Department of Tourism, pinagpapaliwanag ang Berjaya Makati Hotel kung bakit pinayagang makalabas ang isang hotel guest na naka-quarantine sa kanila noong Disyembre 23." 

"Just heard of the young lady, Gwyneth Chua, who skipped the required quarantine after coming home from the US and then went to parties and ate in Poblacion, Makati and now 12, maybe more, are sick. She had Omicron but paid a facility in the province to lie for her."

Lol trending na yung babaing nagbakasyon sa US, then pag-uwi ay infected ng omicron variant pala, pero nag skip ng quarantine at nagparty possibly infecting a whole bar. 

Let our response be: Tang*na niya!?

Gwyneth Chua is not some isolated (no pun intended) case. She is, at best, a representation of the messed up system here in the Philippines. The rich are able to get away with skirting around the rules because they have the money to do so.

Though there is nothing wrong with being privileged. What is wrong is when people use that privilege and (knowing or unknowingly) hurt those around them.

Recognize your privilege. Use your privilege RESPONSIBLY.

FOMO is not a valid reason to leave quarantine and infect not just her friends but the owners and workers at the restaurants. 

Given that we hate the pandemic response of this administration... so come on, her actions had MAJOR consequences.

It's people like her who make it hard for everyone else who are following proper protocol when it should be easy enough to just not party with friends if you are in mandatory quarantine.

She has been outed and called out profusely on social media. The government should make sure she gets penalized for her violations. We hope we could get that action ASAP.

If the Philippines goes to lockdown again because of this privileged and irresponsible individual, ya’ll better hunt her down. 

All the effort and pagtitiis wasted because of a girl who can’t handle living in a hotel room for a week.

We’re flattening the curve and a bitch like this one needs to be taught a lesson the hard way.

I AM LIVID.

Meanwhile, netizens should stop throwing hate and insults aimed at her. Let's just pressure DOT, IATF, and other government agencies to do their job since they're supposed to be the ones responsible for the implementation of strict health and quarantine protocols.

This is DOT and DOH’s last chance to actually show people they mean business and showing they have a proper contact tracing system in place by cracking down ALL the parties involve in this mess. Regardless kung mayaman sila or hindi.

Did you know? When we name drop Poblacion girl in a witch hunt, the DOH, the hotel, the whole system gets a pass for being mediocre and designed for the more privileged — 2 YEARS into the pandemic. 

Yes she broke quarantine but how is it that our contact tracing still sucks

Not keeping my hopes up.

The United States is Facing Housing Crisis: Maxwell Drever Says What Can You Do About It?

Wazzup Pilipinas!?



The United States is struggling with the massive affordable housing crisis. As there is not enough affordable housing available in the country, the families are paying more for their housing as well as renting. Due to the expensive price tag, homeownership is like an untouchable dream for many Americans. Those who work decent jobs are also finding financial difficulties while purchasing a new home.

The process of home building has been collapsed more than a decade ago. Not to mention, there are any intentions of recovering the problem. Construction of luxurious and expensive homes is recovered fast. However, there are also issues of oversupply in some areas across the United States.

However, the development of affordable housing in the United States that is priced for people who belong to the lower-income group and middle-income group to rising for the past couple of years. But, remember that the downfall is also massive and it would consume extra construction years to achieve a modest pace.

 

Affordable Housing Crisis is a Massive Concern

The undersupply share is primarily concentrated in some specific areas of the United States that develop significant economic growth opportunities. Maxwell Drever says this also drives the rent and housing price for low and middle-income families as per their choice of where they want to live.

The prices of properties that have been sold in the bottom fourth of the economical market are up by more than 8%. This is also doubled for affordable housing as the top fourth. Additionally, rents for families who are not capable of purchasing a house due to their weak financial structure have been increased more than 4% per annum over the last decade. This rise also grew rapidly during the pandemic.

Due to the rising rents, more and more renters are making less money to cover their basic living. Nowadays, more than 20% of renters use half of their monthly salary to pay the rent. This is why they face financial difficulties to cover the basic living expenses such as clothes, food, health care, education, etc. As per reports, an average renter saves less than $1,000 a year. This amount of money isn’t sufficient to cover financial or health emergencies.

 

The Rising Costs of House

The rising house costs are also making the economic opportunity for homeownership out of reach for more and more families, especially those of color. Today, the rate of homeownership for black is 42%, whereas the rate for Hispanics is 48%, says Maxwell Drever.

The shortfall of affordable housing in the United States is not only depressing the savings of millions of people but also increasing the wealth gap. The rate is also forcing the people from the bottom of the economic ladder to stay further away from the people who stay at the top. Many cities are only affordable for wealthy families, while many families are forced to live in modest areas.

 

Conclusion

The economy of the United States regarding the development of affordable housing has been skyrocketed recently. Not only the price of the houses, but also the rents creating massive profit margins to complement the investment. However, the fact is that the economies of developing affordable housing are still a precarious process as the mortgage rate is rising every day.
