THREAD: Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque holds a media briefing | LIVE bit.ly/2xKGwud
Roque: President Duterte will give a ₱10-million bounty to whoever can invent a vaccine for COVID-19
Roque: Duterte will also give a 'substantial' grant to UP PGH to develop a COVID-19 vaccine
Roque says Duterte clarified his call for military to help implement the enhanced community quarantine: Walang ilegal dito. Kasama ito sa 3 extraordinary powers ng Pangulo sa ilalim ng Saligang Batas
Roque: May capacity na tayo ngayon na 10,000 PPEs
Roque: The first COVID-19 patient to recover after being confined in the Ninoy Aquino Stadium quarantine center inside the Rizal Stadium has been discharged
Roque says new Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua will take over NEDA this afternoon
Roque on Duterte's marching order for Chua: Ipatupad sa madaling panahon ang National ID System, ipatupad ang COVID-19 recovery plan at mas mabilis na pag-implement ng Build, Build, Build projects
Roque says Duterte met with medical experts from 5pm to 10 pm yesterday, which included former Health secretaries
Roque: Walang desisyon ang Presidente kung anong mangyayari after April 30. DOH at NEDA ang nagbigay ng payo sa kanya
Roque: Sa report ng NEDA, kailangan ma-attain ang minimum health requirements
Roque: Nakadepende kung na-flatten na ang curve sa iba't ibang bahagi ng bansa, pati ang mga bahagi ng Luzon
Roque: DOH, NEDA say decision on lockdown should factor in the number of people who will be affected if the ECQ is lifted
Roque: Kung tayo po ay magpapatuloy ng ECQ sa Luzon, talagang bababa ang kaso ng COVID-19, pero ang tanong — kaya ba natin silang buhayin ng ganoon katagal?
Roque details the recommendations of health experts to President Duterte
Roque: Ang basehan ng rekomendasyon ng NEDA, DOH ay tingnan ano ang mga kaso sa mga lugar sa Luzon. Sa mga lugar na wala masyadong kaso, siguro pwedeng i-lift na [ang ECQ]
Roque on recommendation of ex-Secretary Garin: Sa mga lugar na mataas ang infections, ipagpatuloy ang ECQ dahil importante na yung ayuda na binibigay ay mapunta lamang sa mga nangangailangan. Ngayon, kahit mga nakatira sa lugar na wala masyadong kaso ay nakakakuha ng ayuda
Roque on recommendation of health experts: Bukod sa PCR at rapid test, gamitin din daw ang x-ray at bagong teknolohiya para madetect ang kaso
Roque says NEDA-DOH framework that will help Duterte decide is ready, but will not be disclosed to the public yet
Professor Dr. Mahar Lagmay presents recommendations of UP experts for COVID-19 response: 'Yung ating ECQ mula March ay medyo epektibo. Kapag ito ay tinigil natin, tataas ulit ang cases, pero kapag tinuloy bababa ito. Pero hindi pwedeng ganoon dahil magugutom ang mga tao
Lagmay: Hinahanap natin ang gradual relaxation ng ECQ kung saan mapapayagan na hindi gaano kalawak ang pag-spread ng virus at kakayanin ng ating mga ospital
Lagmay: Ang hinahabol natin ay mababang rate of reproduction of infections. Dapat R=1 o mas mababa pa
Lagmay: May nakikita na tayong trend. Hindi buong Pilipinas ang mayroong COVID-19, ang Metro Manila ay nasa outbreak threshold na
Lagmay: Makikita natin saan mag-aanticipate ng laban, makikita natin saan ilalagay ang resources
Lagmay: Pinakamalaki ang posibilidad ng infections sa mga eskwelahan. Kapag walang klase hanggang December, malaki ang maibabawas sa impeksyon ng COVID-19
Lagmay calls on LGUs to report real-time COVID-19 data to help experts refine their study
Roque: Walang nag-rekomenda ng 'total lockdown'
IATF spokesperson Karlo Nograles earlier said President Duterte asked IATF members to prepare more options for what will happen after April 30
Roque: Walang nag-rekomenda ng total lockdown, either i-maintain, relax, o i-lift ang ECQ depende sa dami ng kaso sa isang lugar
Roque: I would say there was almost a concensus na ang ECQ ay hindi dapat ipatupad sa buong Luzon
Roque says Duterte asked experts about what will happen to sectors, COVID-19 infections if the ECQ is relaxed or lifted? Will there be a second surge?
Roque: Ang sabi ng President, it may come today or April 30. Ang malinaw ay walang nag-recommend na ang ECQ ay ipatupad sa buong Luzon. Sinasabi kailangang i-relax sa areas na walang maraming kaso
Roque: Narinig na ni Duterte ang proposal ng business sector via Secretary Joey Concepcion. Hindi rin malayo ang suhestyon na pag-aralan aling mga barangay sa Metro Manila na mataas ang kaso at ipatupad pa rin ang ECQ sa mga lugar na ito
When will Duterte decide on the ECQ?

Roque: It's an open-ended deadline. He can decide today or by April 30
Roque says there's no decision yet on whether or not POGO operations will be allowed to resume
Roque: Ang POGO, kabahagi yan ng isang industriya na nagbibigay sa ating Presidente at sa pamahalaan ng tax resources. Tatanungin natin ano yung risk
Are we ready with healthcare equipment to fight COVID-19?

Roque: Pupwede sigurong mag-modified ECQ base sa mga estimates dahil pagdating noon, sapat ang kakayahan ng health sector
Roque: Ang WHO advice na dahan-dahan dapat ang pagbalik sa normal ay ikokonsidera ng Presidente. Pareho naman ito sa suggestion ng mga dalubhasa. Wala ring nag-recommend na i-lift nang buo ang ECQ
Roque: Ang relaxation in areas with low or no COVID-19 cases is something the health sector can address. Pero iba-iba ang narinig na suggestion kung by province, municipality, o barangay level ito
Roque: Nakakatakot ang sakit pero hindi nakakatakot dapat ang sinasabi ni Presidente
Roque: Hindi naging madugo ang usapan kahapon, halos walang nagtatalo. Ang approach ng pag-relax o lift ay depende sa lugar at dami ng kaso ng COVID-1. Opinions were very well-researched
Roque says the economic team is still finishing the report on economic impact of COVID-19, So far, we know we're short on tax collections
Roque says Prof. Lagmay's statement that Metro Manila is on 'outbreak threshold,' which may be the basis for extended or modified ECQ
Roque: Kung may outbreak sa lugar na 'yun, baka hindi kayanin ng health system ang dami ng kaso sa lugar na 'yun kung tuluyang i-lift ang ECQ doon
Roque: By way of common recommendation ang mga dalubhasa ay nag-emphasize ng paggawa ng mass testing para sa tunay na larawan ng COVID-19
Roque: The President will consider the UP Pandemic Response Team's suggestion for gradual lifting of quarantine rules
Roque on suggestion to extend class suspensions until December: Rekomendasyon po 'yan ng UP pero wala pa pong desisyon ang Presidente. Ang kabataan ang pinaka-nakikihalubilo sa mga tao, lalo na sa mga elderly
Roque calls on NBI to investigate fake IDs carrying President Duterte's signature, which are being sold during ECQ
Roque: Community health expert Dr. Galvez recommended the use of traditional medicine alongside medical drugs to cure COVID-19 patients
