NOW: President Rodrigo #Duterte addresses the nation

PRRD: For as long as the virus lives in this planet, we are put in real danger.

PRRD: We did not join the government to lie.

PRRD: I hope everybody would listen to reason. Makinig kayo sa rason.

PRRD: I said by December, there will be some, I think trials. Ganito ha, if the vaccine of Russia and China are equally good and effective just like any other vaccine invented by any country, I will buy first.

PRRD: I hope that (with) the Chinese and Russian government, that when we buy, we have to go to a bidding

PRRD: One good thing about China is you do not have to beg

PRRD: We will give preference to Russia and China provided that their vaccine is as good as any order in the market

PRRD: Kung sabihin mo na wala pa iyong vaccine, there is nothing with finality and you want us to make a reservation by depositing money, you must be crazy. Bakit ako magbili ng ganoong style?

PRRD: At the end of the day, what happens is they want you to finance their research and perfection of the vaccine

DOH Sec. Duque reports on COVID-19 cases: Patuloy po ang pagbaba ng trend ng confirmed COVID-19 cases sa ating mga health workers.

DOH Sec. Duque: Sa nakalipas na linggo ang ating moving average para sa isinasagawang test ng ating laboratories ay nasa 36,922.

DOH Sec. Duque: Ang pinakamataas po ay naabot natin last Friday, Sept. 11, umabot po ng 42,258 tests ang naisagawa.

DOH Sec. Duque: As of Sept. 12, nakapag-conduct po tayo ng 3,086,213 total tests

PRRD: What struck my attention was ito sanang appeal to private hospitals to increase the number of beds dedicated to COVID patients.

PRRD: Your help will go a long way. Everybody will remember someday that there was this great epidemic that passed by our lives and we're able to deal with it with a lot of mutual help, tulong ng kababayan.

Sec. Año on SAP anomalies: Sa ating administrative cases, 357 cases ang iniimbestigahan against 416 barangay officials. Ang 93 po ay nai-submit sa Ombudsman.

Sec. Año: 89 pong barangay captains ang pinatawan ng preventive suspension for 6 months

Sec. Año: Ang pinakamataas po na binigyan natin ay ang NCR na may 9,600 [contact tracers].

Sec. Año:Ang Region 3 po mayroong 5,900 contact tracers

Sec. Lorenzana: As of yesterday, mayroong 200,431 na napauwing mga OFWs. Ayon kay Sec. Bello, mayroon pa tayong inaasahang 80,000 na uuwi ngayong taon na ito.

Sec. Lorenzana: Iyong galing sa Sabah, iyong panlimang batch ay darating ng Lunes. 400 ito.

PRRD: Some are still in limbo. Hindi nila alam kung saan sila pupunta. Kung makakauwi pa ba sila o hindi.

PRRD: We have police and military guys who are assigned in different embassies. Kindly check and do a validation report kung mayroon bang Filipino na na-stranded sa inyong lugar.

PRRD: They have not been able to dock at bumaba, itinaboy sila at they are floating.

PRRD: It pains me to realize na nandito ako and I cannot help Filipinos who are struggling even just to exist and not live.

PRRD: A human being should never be a commodity just left there to rot

PRRD: We are trying our best to appeal to the humanitarian sense of the Malaysian government to please help our citizens in your country as we would do for your citizens if they are in our country.

Sec. Galvez: Sa kabuuan po mayroon na po tayong 79 hotels sa ating imbentaryo na may 7,114 beds na maaaring gamitin para sa isolation.

Sec. Galvez: Mayroon po tayong 1,006 na additional COVID-dedicated hospital beds by November 2020.

Sec. Galvez: In my personal opinion, kailangan na po nating i-modernize ang ating healthcare system. Matagal na pong napabayaan ang ating health care system

DOH Sec. Duque: Sinasabi nila (HPAAC), kung babawasan ang 1 metro to .75 meters and at a 50% ridership, ang death rate natin, new cases every day will reach 686 per day.

PRRD on the new distance protocol: You have to take in to account Physics.

PRRD: If you are riding in a bus, ang shield kasi will only protect you from a direct hit.

Sec. Galvez: Sir, I believe it is a matter of risk management po. Sa lahat po ng ginagawa natin, lahat po 'yan ay may risk. If we reduce the 1m distance to 0.75, mayroon po tayong gagawing risk mitigation.

Sec. Galvez: Ang pinaka-vulnerable po ay hindi transport, ang pinaka-vulnerable po ay bahay at saka ang community kasi tinatanggal natin ang mask.

Sec. Año: Doon sa proposal na .75, gagawing .50 at .3, medyo delikado na po iyon. Sumasang-ayon ako sa ating mga health workers, health sectors na ito ay magsisimula ng new spike

PRRD: Mayroon ako ritong report ngayon, galing kay Sec. Guevarra, from the task force that I commissioned to do the investigation. Itong investigation na ito was participated in by the COA and the Ombudsman so that we can move faster.

PRRD reads portion of the task force report: The totality for the evidence presented before the task force presents the reasonable conclusion that wrongful acts or omissions on the part of certain key corporate officers of PhilHealth have been committed:

PRRD: The negligence exhibited by the PhilHealth executive committee gives rise to both criminal and administrative liability

PRRD: While the board chairman exhibited negligence in certain instances, their careless approval of ICT procurement, the ratification of the IRM fund releases on March 2020 and the consent of the modification of judgment in court adjudicated cases

PRRD: The task force recommends that the President strongly admonish and remind the chairman and members of the board of the grave consequence of their action or inaction to PhilHealth fund

PRRD reads portion of report on filing of charges against the following: SVP Aragona, OIC Gabuya, PCEO Morales, SVP Limsiaco, SVP Pargas, among others.

PRRD: Everybody is put in jeopardy by the actions of the officials. I'm sorry for them but they will undergo a trial. Although they can always prove guilt without reasonable doubt.
