Pinoy abroad who vaccinated with Astrazeneca's vaccine, experienced 'side effects'

A Filipino in the United States was one of those who underwent AztraZeneca's vaccine trials for their vaccine against COVID-19, admitted that they had "side effects".

A Filipino based in Portland, Oregon said that he and his wife were among the first group to voluntarily vaccinate in the United States for a ‘clinical trial’ using the AstraZeneca vaccine this December.

According to John Susi, who is 67 years old, 24 hours after they were vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine, her husband experienced nausea, weakness, diarrhea, and flu-like symptoms lasting 2 to 3 days.

In January this year, Susi received the second dose of the vaccine using AstraZeneca. For the second time, they did not feel dizzy or any side effects from the vaccine, in an interview by Brigada.

His participation in the ‘clinical trial’ is said to be a solidarity with the government to show that the vaccine is effective, safe and there is nothing to worry about the public.

Taiwan to fine employers asking caregivers to work with not related in their job field

The Taiwan government recently warned employers that they may get certain punishment once they ask foreign caregivers to do works not related to caregiving.

Based on Employment Service Act, employers who will violate the law will have to face a fine between NT$30,000 (US$1,070) and NT$150,000.

Offenses include having caregivers do household chores, picking up children, taking care of other family members who are not listed in the contract, walking a dog, or assisting in the family's business operation.

Tapei's Department of Labor stressed out that even if the caregiver voluntarily did the jobs unrelated to his or her work,  it will still be a violation to the employers because that is still considered illegal.

It added that employers who will continually assigned their migrant laborers of works excluded to their contract may even lose their recruitment license.

DepEd says is not fair to pass all the student due to COVID-19 pandemic

According to a report by Super Radyo dzBB on Saturday, the Department of Education (DepEd) said the recommendation to pass all students due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic was not fair.

DepEd Undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio said that despite obstacles, many learners are doing their best to pass, although some students do not take their studies seriously.

Implementing a no fail policy would not teach children responsibility, he added.

For San Antonio, learners will have more motivation in their studies once they see their grades.

The DepEd agreed to restart classes through blended learning because of the COVID-19 threat, where learners do not have to go to school to participate in classes to prevent potential transmission of the virus.

It also eliminated about 60 percent of the curriculum to change this school year, which began October 5, for the remote learning method.

Via self-learning courses, broadcast media, and the internet, the department has prepared ways to offer education to students.

In view of the difficulties faced by professors, students, and teachers over distance learning, some groups called for academic freezing.

Nevertheless, DepEd only proposed an education facility to reduce the workload of students and educators.

Taiwan announced 1 new death due to COVID-19 complications, adds more local cases

Taiwan reported four more domestically transmitted COVID-19 cases linked to a recent cluster infection in Taoyuan General Hospital on Saturday, including one death, bringing the total number of cases related to the cluster to 19, according to health authorities.

Three of the newly confirmed domestic cases are family members of an infected nurse at the hospital, and one of the three -- a woman in her 80s -- has died, the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) said in a statement.

The woman is the first COVID-19 patient to have died in Taiwan since May 11, 2020, according to the CECC.

The fourth case involves an individual who had visited an inpatient at the hospital confirmed to be infected with the virus on Jan. 24.

The COVID-19 cluster infection was first reported on Jan. 12 at the hospital in northern Taiwan. It marked the first time a doctor has been infected in Taiwan since the pandemic began.

Despite the recent cluster infection, experts have said the situation is under control. Quick isolation and quarantine, as well as efficient contact tracing, the cancellation of large-scale events and heightened public alertness have helped prevent the infections from spreading widely into the community.

Besides the doctors, nurses, patients and a migrant caretaker in the cluster, all the others infected are their family members.

In addition to the domestic cases, Taiwan on Saturday reported six new imported cases of COVID-19 arriving from Indonesia, Czech Republic and Brazil, CECC said.

To date, Taiwan has reported 909 cases of COVID-19, of which 795 have been classified as imported. Of the total, eight patients have died, 823 have recovered and 78 remain in hospitals receiving treatment, according to CECC. -Central News Agency

Mayor Isko Moreno, simbahan planong gawing vaccination site

Nakikipag-usap na si Mayor Isko Moreno sa Archdiocese of Manila para sa posibleng paggamit ng mga simbahan bilang vaccination sites, “Wala pa kaming formal letter pero may communication na ako kay Yorme Isko tungkol dito at mag-uusap kami tungkol d'yan,” ayon kay Bishop Broderick Pabillo, Apostolic Administrator ng Archdiocese of Manila.

Kasama sa usapan nila kung anong pasilidad ang gagamitin nila bilang vaccination sites, “Siguro kailangan nila malalaking simbahan so maghahanap kami. Kung ano 'yung mga kinakailangan nilang facilities at kung saang area,” sabi ni Pabillo nitong Biyernes ng umaga.

Ayon kay Pabillo, may pasilidad ang ibang simbahan tulad ng gym at hall na pwedeng magamit at maaari rin tumulong ang mga kawani ng simbahan sa pagbabantay sa vaccination sites.

“Itong inaalok namin sa Archdiocese of Manila lang ito. Siyempre, ang ibang mga dioceses may iba iba rin silang pag-uusap ng kanilang local officials,” sabi ni Pabillo.

Nauna nang sinabi ng Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) na handa silang ialok ang mga pasilidad ng mga simbahan para gawing mga lugar para sa vaccination program ng bansa at handa rin naman silang makipag-usap sa iba pang mga lungsod na nasa ilalim ng Archdiocese of Manila tungkol dito.

Inaasahan na darating sa susunod na buwan ang unang batch ng 1 million COVID-19 vaccine sa bansa.

Isang lalaki lapnos ang balat matapos silaban ng kanyang ka-live in habang tulog

Sa Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, isang lalaki ang lapo ang katawan hanggang binti ito ay matapos silaban ng kanyang ka-live in partner habang siya ay natutulog.

Kinilala ang biktima na si Ponciano Liñan at naaresto naman kinalaunan ang suspek na si Marites Sumampong.

Ayon sa imbestigasyon habang masarap at mahimbing ang tulog ni Ponciano bigla nalang raw itong binuhusan ng gasolina ni Marites.

Nahatid naman sa hospital ang biktima ngunit hindi sapat ang pera nila sa gastusin sa hospital, nang mahuli si Marites, pumunta agad si Ponciano para iatras ang reklamo.

Pero nitong Miyerkules ng gabi, isinugod si Liñan sa ospital at idineklarang dead-on-arrival dahil sa komplikasyon sa mga sugat na kaniyang tinamo dahil sa sunog.

“Masakit pero tatanggapin na lang namin kasi hindi naman kami nagkulang sa pagpapaalala na makipaghiwalay na siya. Pero ayaw niyang hiwalayan,” sabi ni Jocelyn Muraca, kapatid ng biktima.

Nais ngayon ng pamilya ni Liñan na ituloy ang kaso dahil hindi raw ito ang unang beses na sinaktan ni Sumampong ang biktima.

Ayon sa pamilya, dati nang sinugatan ng suspek ang ari ng biktima gamit ang blade, “Para magkaroon ng hustisya para sa anak ko kaya itutuloy ko ang kaso. Pagkatapos ng libing, pupunta kami sa munisipyo, sa pulis, para ipa-blotter at makulong siya,” sabi ni Lolita Liñan, ina ng biktima.

Taiwan listed 3rd in the world for successful handling of COVID-19 performance index

Taiwan has been listed among the top three countries in the world for its successful handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, ranking third behind New Zealand and Vietnam, according to an index published Thursday by the Lowry Institute of Australia.

The think tank evaluated the response of 98 countries and territories, excluding China, to the pandemic, and ranked them based on their aggregate and per capita number of COVID-19 cases and deaths, as well as their rate of testing, using a 14-day rolling average.

In the COVID Performance Index, Taiwan received a score of 86.4, behind only New Zealand and Vietnam, which scored 94.4 and 90.8, respectively, to top the list.

The index was compiled using publicly available and comparable data of 98 countries and territories in the 36 weeks after they confirmed their 100th case of COVID-19, with the data valid up to Jan. 9, 2021, according to the think tank.

China was not included in the ranking because of a lack of publicly available data on testing, and Taiwan was assessed separately, the institute said.

As of Thursday, Taiwan had recorded 895 cases of COVID-19, with seven fatalities, according to the country's Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC).

In the Lowry Institute's COVID Performance Index, the other countries in the top 10 were Thailand, with a score of 84.2, Cyprus (83.3), Rwanda (80.8), Iceland (80.1), Australia (77.9), Latvia (77.5) and Sri Lanka (76.8).

At the bottom of the list were Chile (22.0), Ukraine (20.7), Oman (20.3), Panama (19.7), Bolivia (18.9), the United States (17.3), Iran (15.9), Colombia (7.7), Mexico (6.5) and Brazil (4.3).

According to the institute, the COVID-19 performance of countries was not as closely linked to levels of economic development or types of political systems as was often assumed or publicized.

Certain structural factors, however, seemed more closely associated with positive outcomes, as smaller countries, for example, proved more agile than most of the bigger ones in handling the health crisis, the institute said.

To date, there have been 100,776,693 confirmed cases of COVID-19 around the globe, with 2,178,170 deaths, CECC data shows. -Central News Agency

"Tunay na pagbabago": Blogger, nagbigay saloobin sa pagkapangulo ni Pres. Duterte

Viral ngayon sa social media ang isang Filipino blogger matapos nitong maglabas ng saloobin kung bakit nga ba nahalal bilang lider ng Pilipinas si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.

Sa pamamagitan ng Facebook post, sinabi ni Noel Landero Sarifa na tanging si Pres. Duterte lamang ang naging lider ng bansa na may tunay na malasakit sa bayan at sa kaniyang mamamayan.

Giit niya, nailuklok sa kaniyang pwesto ang Pangulo dahil siya lamang ang may kakayahang mag-angat sa Pilipinas sa kabila ng mga nakaambang panganib, katiwalian sa gobyerno, pang-aabuso sa kalikasan, droga at maging sa pandemya.

"Kaya nanalo si PRRD sa panahong halos kinakawawa na tayo ng mga ahensya ng gobyerno na halos impyerno na ang pila at serbisyo dahil ihahatid nya ang tunay na pagbabago," saad ni Sarifa sa kaniyang post.

Dahil dito, marami ang sumang-ayon at marami rin naman ang umalma kung kaya hanggang ngayon ay patuloy itong umaani ng diskusyon mula sa iba't-ibang panig ng bansa.

A Taiwanese businessman in Taichung, central Taiwan who returned from China on Jan. 21 and has been in quarantine is likely to face a heavy fine of no less than NT$500,000 after going outside seven times in violation of quarantine regulations, Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen said Monday.

Lambasting the businessman's conduct as a serious offense that endangers the health and safety of his family, neighbors and the whole city, Lu said such behavior will absolutely not be tolerated.

According to Taiwan's quarantine regulations, all travelers entering the country are required to undergo 14 days of quarantine during which they are prohibited from going outside, Lu said. However, the businessman went out seven times while in quarantine.

The city government has since transferred the man to a designated group quarantine facility and will issue a minimum fine of NT$500,000, according to the mayor.

Individuals who violate quarantine regulations are subject to fines ranging from NT$100,000 to NT$1 million in accordance with the Special Act for Prevention, Relief and Revitalization Measures for Severe Pneumonia with Novel Pathogens, Lu added.

When asked how the city plans to respond to the increasing number of domestic cases of COVID-19 linked to a recent cluster infection at Taoyuan General Hospital, where the number of cases had increased to 15 as of Sunday, Lu said she has ordered the suspension or cancellation of events to be attended by more than 100 people. She also urged citizens to wear masks when taking part in outdoor activities.

"Regardless of where you are from, we are all Taiwanese," Lu emphasized, saying that the city government will continue to support and provide assistance to Taoyuan. -Central News Agency

Ayon kay Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez nitong Lunes, mananagot sa administratiba ang limang miyembro ng task force dahil nahuli sa kamera na marahas at puwersahang kinukulong ang isang street vendor sa Parañaque.

Ang mga miyembro ng task force ay ginamit ang "excesive force" dahilan para sila ay masuspende sa kani-kanilang trabaho.

"Hindi lang po termination, kundi magkakaroon po sila ng administrative case na ifa-file ng ating city," sinabi ni Olivarez.

"Makikita natin sa video na hindi tama yung ginawa ng task force kay Warren...Kitang kita 'yung nangyari kay Warren: pinadapa sa kalsada, merong 5 task force members doon, binigyan pa ng posas at meron pang sumibat sa mukha. We will not tolerate this one," dagdag pa ni Olivarez.

Ang task force ay naitatag noong nakalipas na limang taon dapat sana kailangan nilang palawakin ang kanilang "maximum tolerance" sa clearing operation nila laban sa mga iligal na nagtitinda sa lansangan.

Batang ina, lumayas sa bahay dahil ang tatay ng kanyang anak ay stepfather niya

Agaw pansin ang mag-inang nasa kalsada malapit sa labas ng BDO bank Imus branch palengke  mapapansin dito na hindi marunong mag alaga ng bata ang ina, hindi marunong humawak ng bata at hindi rin ito marunong magtimpla ng gatas.

Ayon sa post ni Marilou Nalliasca, nakakaawang tignan ang mag ina dahil kung makikita ang dala niyang baby pa gapang gapang ito sa kalsada at wala diaper o short, napakaruming nitong tignan at pulang pula ang kanyang maselang bahagi ng kanyang katawan.

Nang mag tanong ang nag post ng laraw nagulat ito sa sinapit ng batang ina at napaluha nalamang ito dahil wala raw itong bahay kaya nakatira siya sa gilid ng kalsada at ang nakakagulat pa ang tatay ng kanyang anak ay ang mismong stepfather niya kaya napilitan itong lumayas sa kanilang bahay.

Meron pang gustong sabihin ang batang ina ngunit hindi raw niya ito maderetchong sabihin “may gusto pa siyang sabihin saakin eh kaso hindi na niya tinuloy pero naiisip ko naman kung ano yon nalulungkot nalang ako sa nangyari at naaawa sa mag ina”sinabi Marilou.

Kaya si Marilou nag madaling maghanap ng pwede niyang ibigay sa mag-ina kase gusto talaga niyang tumulong sa mag ina, bumili ito ng tinapay at ng mga damit dahil malamig ang panahon baka magkasakit pa sila ngunit katapos niyang bumili bigla nalang nawala ang mag-ina sa kanilang pwede pero hindi sumuko si Marilou at hinanap niya at ibinigay ang pagkain at mga damit.

Kapag merong ganitong pangyayari ang nakita wag mag alinlangan na tumulong o mag bigay alam sa DSWD para matulungan nilang ang mga pinabayaan na bata, hindi masama ang tumulong pero kung hinayaan mo ang sitwasyon na ganon na lamang yun ang masama.
