11 Filipino Doctors who died battling COVID-19

0

Doctors play a vital role in every nation’s healthcare system, especially now that we are in a fight against this virus called CoVID-19. Our medical workers and other frontliners, together with Philippine government, are working tirelessly in ensuring the safety of the Filipino people and preventing further spread of the virus.

According to the Philippine Medical Association (PMA) president, 84,200 doctors all over the country are enough to respond to our current situation. Ever since the first-ever case has been confirmed the Philippines, our medical workers braved the peril and still worked in frontlines.

They have been fighting for weeks and it deeply saddens us that as of today, ten doctors have passed away after losing the battle against COVID-19. DOH Spokesperson Maria Rosario Vergeire admitted that some of the main reasons behind the death of the doctors are lack of protective gear and patients who did not fully disclose their symptoms, travel history, and state of health.

These modern heroes risked their lives to save ours, that is why, it’s just right to give honour to the fallen heroes who selflessly fulfilled their role until the end of their lives.

University Logos in Cebu reimagined as evening gowns amid quarantine

Almost everyone is in home quarantine. This is the best time to do the things you’ve been  planning to do “if you only have the time”. 

We should make most out of it, may it be a hobby, a skill you’d want to learn, or a start on that workout.

One Cebuano has got it right. Instead of focusing on negativities circulating on social media, he directed that energy into creating something beautiful.

Cebuana trans posts unfortunate ‘catfishing’ story that trended nationwide

If you have been traumatized, is it enough to traumatize others?

The question arose when a Cebuana transwoman, Jzan Vern Tero, disclosed in a Twitter thread how filmmaker, Sam Morales, caused her trauma by pretending to be Jzan’s lover, Bill Iver Reyes.

In a series of tweets posted on March 30 by Jzan, she shared how she met Bill through a dating app. She posted some screenshots of their convo and made mention how she has been manipulated.

Theirs was a long-distance relationship. Jzan was based in Cebu while Bill was in Manila. However, Bill promised to meet Jzan in her hometown. But the plan didn’t come to fruition due to a family emergency. The claim was then backed up by Bill’s cousin, ‘THE’ Sam Morales.

Jzan was very vocal about Sam helping her work things out with Bill. Same was the one who could patch their relationship when it went rocky.

Emotions, money, time, and effort were invested by Jzan while the real Bill, who knows what he was thinking.

Fortunately for Jzan, tables have turned when she met with her friends in Manila. One of her colleagues recognized her so-called “boyfriend” to be a man named Bilko Argana and not Bill Iver Reyes.

The two then broke-up but patched things again after Bill apologized for lying about his identity.

Their love affair continues.

When the two decided to meet in Manila, Bill asked Jzan if his cousin, Sam, could join them.

Jzan agreed and the three of them met in a hotel. When Sam left the two, Bill confessed that all this time, it was Sam who was texting Jzan.

According to Jzan’s tweets, Sam reached out to her to explain how she ended up fooling our trans friends. She was traumatized herself before. She was allegedly bullied by homosexuals hence, the revenge.

After this story stormed the internet like wildfire, netizens and celebrities rebuke Sam Morales. Many were angered by how Jzan ended up.

Then again, the answer to the question aforementioned is still for you to decide. Sam Morales’ acts were surely despicable, but was it criminal? I will let you decide.

Facebook to be banned in the Philippines due to Fake News dissemination

Without Facebook, how do you think can you survive the next weeks in quarantine?

With the nation being placed in an enhanced community quarantine, we could only bank on our social media accounts to pass time. We rant on Twitter about the government’s shortcomings, we stream videos for entertainment on YouTube, we post our throwback photos on Instagram for inspiration, and we check everything about COVID-19 on Facebook.

Because of all the news being circulated on Facebook about COVID-19, netizens have failed to think before they click. They were not able to know what they were reading hence, the improper sharing of FAKE NEWS.

Though the easiest access to all updates about COVID-19 is Facebook, the company is not happy about how Filipinos have been using Facebook. Earlier today, it was announced that Facebook would be banned in the Philippines due to “improper usage”. The amount of fake news Facebook has reported within the span of two weeks alone up surged to 100%.

So, even if Facebook has been our easiest means to access information, Facebook Philippines has been keen on discouraging fake news dissemination hence the banning of the app.

May the need to ban Facebook open our eyes and make us realize the importance of weighing what we are reading. If you have reached this part, you have probably known that today is April 1st. What is this article then? Happy April Fools!

IEC center turned into CoVID-19 care facility in Cebu

As the number of confirmed cases rises here in Cebu, the number of PUI’s and PUM’s are exponentially increasing too.

With these, lack of quarantine facilities and care areas is now one of the many problems that we are facing right now.

Well, here’s some good news: the International Eucharistic Congress Convention Center Cebu (IC3) will become one of the “first response areas” set up to serve as CoVID-19 care and quarantine facilities.

Having a floor area of about 25, 754 square meters, this will be perfect facility for people showing symptoms of corona virus.

The Archdiocese of Cebu has opened its IEC center as part of a concerted effort called “Bayanihan Cebu Center” (BCC) to serve mildly to moderately symptomatic patients.

“Now, its doors are to be opened in collaboration with the kindness and generosity of some people in Cebu, to become a haven of hope and healing,”

– Caritas Cebu

“The venue that used to hold the teachings on the Eucharist will now become a place of concretizing that bread being broken and shared to those in need in time of this Covid-19 pandemic”

First response area

  • International Eucharistic Congress Convention Center Cebu (IC3)
  • Sacred Heart School — Ateneo de Cebu, formerly known as SHS School for Boys.

Drop-off area

  • San Carlos Seminary – for medical supplies and equipment needed by the two centers.

The bayanihan spirit of the Filipinos has been burning as we face this pandemic and I hope that it keeps lighting up and get us through this crisis.

Used only to treat new or reemerging influenza viruses, and at the request of the health minister, the anti-flu drug Avigan, has not been in continuous production.

Protect Medical Frontliners: Stop the Harassment and Discrimination

It seems ironic, isn’t it?

The online community is singing praises and all about supporting the medical frontliners but then news of these very people being harassed and discriminated have been popping out.

“Tayo po ay nakatanggap ng ilang reports na ang ating health care workers ay naha-harass at nagiging biktima ng krimen,”

Maria Rosario Vergeire, Health Undersecretary 

They have been subject to discrimination in their permanent and temporary residence exactly because of their nature of work.

“Naay nag megaphone dri nag announce one time. Ingon siya likayi ninyo ang mga taga sotto kay kana sila dli na sila mag disinfect maayo.”

– Medical personnel, VSMMC Cebu City
medical healthworkers cebu

These health workers who are battling the global pandemic risking their lives and exposing their selves do not deserve this kind of treatment from anyone.

They have families too but are working to save yours. They are already in a lot of stress and anxiety, we should not add to it.

“Sa panahon ng krisis, nananawagan po kami, itigil po natin ang karahasan. Itigil po natin ang diskriminasyon laban sa ating mga health care workers. Bagkus tayo po ay magtulungan para mas mapadali at mas mapalakas pa ang ating laban kontra COVID-19,”

– Health Undersecretary
