PRRD: Due to vaccination and regimen adherence, PH avoids a new Covid-19 surge

MANILA, Philippines β€” Outgoing President Rodrigo R. Duterte said Monday that ongoing Covid-19 vaccines and adherence to basic public health requirements helped the Philippines prevent another increase in Covid-19 infections.

Duterte praised his administration’s success in controlling Covid-19 infections and reopening the economy in a prerecorded public address.

“If I had to rate my government, the single most important thing it accomplished was to contain Covid-19 in a considerably shorter period of time. And to think that yung iba sa ngayon nagkaroon ng (other nations’) increase is simply due to the population of that country’s unwillingness to obey regulations. “But us here, we’re terrified,” he added, “e tayo dito, sabi ko, takot.”

Duterte praised Filipinos for adhering to Covid-19 health regulations, saying that it gave them the confidence to return to work.

“Yung mga trabahante bumalik na, nakalabas na (workers are able to return to work, leave their houses) because we (re)started our economy,” he added.

Meanwhile, he urged healthcare workers and vaccine providers to “expand their efforts” by assisting in the identification of Filipinos who have not yet had their Covid-19 vaccinations.

“If we can discover them, yung hinahanap natin yung itong mga vulnerable o kaya ng may mga edad na hindi nakakalabas at di pa naiinjeksyunan,” he said.

He admitted that many of them are exhausted, but urged them to “do more” for their Filipino neighbors.

“I know you’re exhausted, but you have to do more for your countrymen. ‘Yan lang ang pakiusap ko sa inyo,” he said (That is my only request)…

Do it for the country and your compatriots this time,” he continued.

More than 69 million people have been immunized in the Philippines, accounting for 77.2 percent of the target population of 90.005 million, with 14.3 million people have already gotten booster injections.

According to recent data from the Department of Health, a total of 1,295 new infections were reported from May 30 to June 5, with an average of 185 daily cases, which is 1.4 percent less than the previous week.

Nikkei Asia, a Tokyo-based news publication, previously ranked the Philippines 33rd on its Covid-19 Recovering Index, citing Manila’s improved pandemic response.

Thank you, China.

Duterte praised China once again for delivering the Philippines with the first batch of Covid-19 vaccines, recalling the country’s struggles at the start of the pandemic.

“We started from the ground up. We were just floatin’ around, waiting for something to come next. And, regardless of what other nations think, we would like to express our thanks to China once more,” he remarked.

He claimed that while other countries were hoarding Covid-19 vaccine doses, China was generous enough to share its vaccines with the Philippines.

“One day, without warning, China stated that vaccinations would be shipped to the Philippines to begin the yung panlaban natin (our fight), the war against the Covid-19,” he added.

In previous addresses, Duterte stated that he wanted to personally meet Chinese President Xi Jinping to thank his government for the Covid-19 vaccine gifts.

The Philippines began their Covid-19 vaccination campaign in March 2021, utilizing Sinovac’s “CoronoVac” vaccines made in China. (
