Covid-19 vaccine drive continues in Davao City’s district health centers

“Nagclose na mi atong December 30 apan tanan vaccination activity gi-endorse na namo sa City Health Office para himuon na sa kada district health offices (We closed on December 30 but we already endorsed all vaccination activities to the City Health Office to be done by each district health offices),” said Davao City Covid-19 Vaccination Program head Dr. Josephine Villafuerte during the Madayaw Davao program of the Davao City Disaster Radio on Wednesday.

“Ang vaccination naa na sa mga district health offices so naa sila'y schedule nga gihimo kada semana-- once a week (The vaccinations are now in the district health offices so they created a weekly schedule—once a week),” she added.

Since Davao City has already reached 100 percent vaccination rate and has only little work left to do in terms of administering booster shots to the pediatric demographic, dissolving the vaccination cluster is only pragmatic, said Villafuerte.

Though the city’s vaccination cluster will no longer be carrying out vaccination drives, its function as a vaccination certificate issuer will remain.

Vaccination certificates are still being issued in the Sta. Ana health center where the swabbing center was also recently closed to make room for the center’s intended function as a specialized health clinic for the elderly, children under five years old, and as a milk bank.

In addition, some malls will also be housing Vaccination certificate centers. VaxxCert issuance remains a function of the vaccination program as the document still serves as a travel requirement.

Though the city’s vaccination cluster is now dissolved, this does not mean the vaccination campaign will cease, Villafuerte said, especially since the vaccine has effectively reinforced the population’s immune system against the virus, rendering vaccinated patients with only “very mild” symptoms when infected.

The district health centers will simply add the Covid-19 vaccine to their list of health programs, Villafuerte added, as she urged Dabawenyos to avail of the vaccine in the districts as well as other health services and programs offered there, including pneumonia and flu vaccination.

Unvaccinated May Be Arrested In This Country If They Don't Stay At Home. The Philippines President said in an address to the nation he was asking community leaders to look for unvaccinated people and ensure they were confined to their homes.

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte said on Thursday people who have not taken COVID-19 shots will be arrested if they disobeyed stay-at-home orders as infections hit a three-month high.
Duterte in a televised address to the nation said he was asking community leaders to look for unvaccinated people and make sure they were confined to their homes.

"If he refuses, if he goes out his house and goes around the community, he can be restrained. If he refuses, the captain is empowered now to arrest recalcitrant persons," Duterte said.

Daily coronavirus infections in the Philippines hit the highest since September 26 at 17,220 cases on Thursday, the health ministry said, including those caused by the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

Duterte is known for his bellicose rhetoric. Last year, he threatened people who refuse to get inoculated with jail or an injection of Ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug widely used to treat animals.

But his latest remarks underscored his government's growing concerns over the rising number of COVID-19 cases which health experts warn could overwhelm the country's health systems again.

"I am responsible for the safety and well-being of every Filipino," Duterte said as he challenged those who disapprove of his directive to file a case against him.

PHL reopens to vaxxed tourists from visa-free countries. FULLY VACCINATED foreign tourists from visa-free countries will be allowed to enter the Philippines starting February 10.

In a news briefing on Friday, Secretary to the Cabinet Karlo Nograles said the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) made this decision on the Department of Tourism’s (DOT) assurance that “100 percent of tourism workers are now vaccinated.”

According to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) website, the list of visa-free countries includes top tourism markets of the Philippines including Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. There are about 160 countries on the visa-free status list.

The IATF also removed the color classification of countries based on their Covid cases and now classifies foreign nationals based on their vaccination status. “No unvaccinated foreign nationals will be allowed to enter the country,” stressed Nograles in Filipino.

Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo Puyat told BusinessMirror, her agency will be threshing out the details with partner agencies like the DFA as well as with the private sector regarding the country’s reopening to foreign travelers. “For unvaccinated Filipinos (i.e., balikbayans), they will still have to quarantine in a hotel for five days. But for unvaccinated children of vaccinated Filipinos, we hope they will be allowed to enter the country without being put to quarantine,” she said.

Negative RT-PCR required

Vaccinated leisure travelers from visa-free countries will only have to present a negative RT-PCR test result taken 48 hours prior to their departure to the Philippines.

There are 14,474 rooms available for leisure travelers in the National Capital Region alone, of which 1,462 rooms are in staycation hotels; 5,469 in regular hotels; and 7,543 in multiple-use, non-quarantine hotels. “We expect all the quarantine hotels to shift to accepting leisure travelers,” said Romulo Puyat.

The move to reopen to tourists was applauded by local tourism stakeholders. In a statement, Tourism Congress of the Philippines president Jose C. Clemente III said: “We are pleased with the announcement of the IATF allowing fully-vaccinated foreign nationals into the Philippines starting Feb. 10. Our borders have been closed for almost two years now and the situation for a majority of the tourism stakeholders has become untenable already. This development gives us hope to finally restart our industry.

“That said, we continue to remind our stakeholders, local government units (LGUs), and other relevant agencies to continue enforcing health and safety protocols,” he stressed.

In a separate news statement, Romulo Puyat said, “We at the DOT are very thankful to our partners in the IATF for approving our proposal to allow the entry of foreign leisure travelers. The Department sees this as a welcome development that will contribute significantly to job restoration, primarily in tourism-dependent communities, and in the reopening of businesses that have earlier shut down during the pandemic.”

Carry proof of vaccination

“With years of coordination between national agencies, industry stakeholders, and the various LGUs to prepare our destinations for tourism in the new normal, we are confident that we will be able to keep pace with our Asean neighbors who have already made similar strides to reopen to foreign tourists,” she added.

Based on the IATF guidelines, leisure travelers from visa-free countries will be allowed to enter the country, provided that their passports are valid for at least six months at the time of arrival, and they possess outbound tickets to their country of origin or next country of destination.

They must also carry proof of vaccination against Covid-19, such as vaccination certificates issued by the World Health Organization, VaxCertPH of the DOH (available at https://vaxcert.doh.gov.ph), and a national/ state digital certificate of a foreign government which has accepted VaxCertPH under a reciprocal arrangement unless otherwise permitted by the IATF.

Stricter quarantine measures will take effect starting Friday in six areas, which were placed under Alert Level 3 by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Disease (IATF).

Acting presidential spokesperson Karlo B. Nograles said the new classification will cover Palawan, Camiguin, Davao Occidental, Dinagat Islands, Tawi-Tawi and Sulu.

The said areas were previously under Alert Level 2.

“The said escalation shall take effect on Friday, January 28, 2022, until February 15, 2022,” Nograles said in a brief statement last Thursday.

Under IATF guidelines an area is placed under Alert Level 3 if its novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19) case counts are high and/or increasing, and it registers a rising total bed utilization rate.

Intrazonal and interzonal travel in areas under Alert Level 3 will be allowed subject to reasonable restrictions to be imposed by local government units (LGU) based on age and comorbidities.

The following activities will be prohibited in Alert Level 3 areas: face to face or in-person classes for basic education, except those previously approved by the IATF and/or the Office of the President; Contact sports, except those conducted under a bubble-type setup as provided for under relevant guidelines adopted by the IATF, Games and Amusement Board, and Philippine Sports Commission, and approved by the LGU where such games shall be held; and Funfairs/peryas and kid amusement industries such as playgrounds, playroom, and kiddie rides.

Other activities, which will be temporarily banned in areas under such Alert Level, are venues with live voice or wind-instrument performers and audiences such as in karaoke bars, clubs, concert halls, and theaters; Casinos, horse racing, cockfighting, and operation of cockpits, lottery and betting shops, and other gaming establishments except as may be authorized by the IATF or the Office of the President; and gatherings in residences with individuals not belonging to the same household.

Activities not included in the aforementioned list such as venue for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions and cinema, and movie houses will remain allowed but with restricted venue capacity.

Government agencies and instrumentalities shall remain to be fully operational and shall adhere to at least 30 percent site capacity while applying work-from-home and other flexible work arrangements.

The Philippines is reporting 24,138 new infections on average each day, 69% of the peak — the highest daily average reported on January 18.

There have been 3,493,447 infections and 53,736 coronavirus-related deaths reported in the country since the pandemic began..

The Philippines has administered at least 125,089,117 doses of COVID vaccines so far. Assuming every person needs 2 doses, that’s enough to have vaccinated about 57.8% of the country’s population.

During last week's report, the Philippines averaged about 621,347 doses administered each day. At that rate, it will take a further 35 days to administer enough doses for another 10% of the population.

(About this data)
This vaccine rollout data is reported by the number of doses of coronavirus vaccines administered, not the number of people who have been vaccinated. Because most vaccines require two doses and many countries have different schedules to deliver the second dose, we don’t know with this data how many people have ultimately received both doses.

Start-up Company to Offer Free Wi-Fi Services Using Sari-Sari Stores. A tech start-up company, Wi-Fi Interactive Network, is planning to roll out free Wi-Fi services using small convenience stores or “sari-sari stores” across the Philippines. According to Philip Zulueta, the President and Founder of Wi-Fi Interactive Network, they are now testing the technology in Metro Manila.

The start-up company Wi-Fi Interactive Network tests their latest technology in several bars and restaurants in Metro Manila before introducing the free Wi-Fi services in various sari-sari stores nationwide.

Wi-Fi Interactive Network recently won seed funding from technology giant Microsoft to use sari-sari stores as Wi-Fi hotspots by using TV White Space technology, or the frequency of unused TV channels.

Zulueta also noted that the advantage of using broadcast TV frequency for Wi-Fi is its capability to provide signal within 10 kilometers, compared to Wi-Fi’s range of 600 feet only.

The company also revealed to the media that the service is at no cost to sari-sari stores because the free Wi-Fi services will be bundled with products sold at the stores.

Based on the plans of the start-up company, if you buy a sachet of shampoo, for example, it will come with a 30-minute Wi-Fi service. The main issue in the Philippines is “affordability” because internet access in the Philippines is indeed expensive.

Growsari drives the growth of sari-sari stores by streamlining the supply chain process. MANILA - B2B platform Growsari on Friday said its platform allows sari-sari stores to expand further by streamlining the supply chain process and in turn cutting middle man rates and other fees.

Using the app, sari-sari store owners can order products directly sourced from manufacturers reducing, fees imposed by distributors as well as other charges such as delivery fees, Growsari Co-founder and CEO Raymond Rollan told ANC.

"We felt in Growsari maybe be we can streamline that and help not only the company but I think more importantly the sari-sari stores get a bigger piece of the pie that we all feel they deserve," Rollan said.

"It’s as if you’re buying directly from the companies," he added.

To do that, the company consolidates orders by sari-sari store members, giving the smaller vendors scale and access to rates that were just previously offered to bigger companies, he said.

Aside from basic goods, Growsari also offers other business opportunities for vendors such as e-load and bills payment, among others.

Currently, Growsari serves about 50,000 stores. It plans to grow its network to 300,000 stores in the next 2 years, Rollan said.

Sari-sari stores are popular in the Philippines where consumers are used to buying "tingi" or the purchase of goods in small quantities— what they could afford for the day.

9K sari-sari store owners to get aid. Ilocos Norte’s provincial government, through its Small and Medium Enterprise Office (SMEO), is giving each small sari-sari store at least PHP2,000 worth of grocery items as part of the continuing coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) recovery assistance to the vulnerable sector.

Based on the latest data of the SMEO, 9,000 pre-identified sari-sari store owners in the province need immediate assistance and 715 of them are from the towns of Bacarra, Sarrat, Piddig, and Laoag City have received the grocery pack aid.

Head of the SMEO, Elma Gabriel, said Thursday due to the rising cost of basic commodities, Governor Matthew Joseph Manotoc has directed that these sari-sari store owners would receive nearly PHP3,000 worth of grocery items during the next batch of distribution.

“This is a quick-relief assistance program to our small businesses and we hope to reach out to them (at) the soonest possible time,” Gabriel said.

According to local businessman and marketing specialist Bryan Alcid of Laoag City, the resiliency of the Ilocanos has been proven, particularly in the time of pandemic when many residents who are not business savvy have gone into marketing and business enterprise development, such as putting up a sari-sari store at home to avoid rentals.

“During our last business review, the number of sari-sari stores alone grew by 50 percent. This is because the displaced workers have started their own business, apparently to survive the pandemic,” Alcid said.

He noted that with this change in the Ilokano’s mindset in the past two years, there is a need to assist them on how to recover during and after the pandemic.

The SMEO is working in partnership with both public and private sectors for the conduct of various training courses and provision of interest-free loan assistance to help small businesses grow and recover what they have lost due to the unforeseen health crisis.

Other businesses are likewise adapting to the new normal as they keep an eye on new opportunities brought about by the series of lockdowns and limited mobility.
