To relax my mind and avoid an impending Irene+Seulgi addiction, I followed @Probotype's advice.

I also dedicate this to @jedmarcueto, my adopted kid and Kpop guardian.

For a few hours last night, my daughter once again schooled me on Kpop music.

I will NEVER be the same again.
(G)I-DLE

Anak: Comeback vid nila eto.
Me: Bakit, nawala ba sila nang matagal?
Anak: Hindi.
Me: Nagbreak-up ba sila tapos nagkabalikan?
Anak: Di din.
Me: Eh bakit sila my comeback?!

#DefinitionOfTermsBiteMe
Dreamcatcher

Anak: Eto, Tay, baka magustuhan mo.
Me: Bakit?
Anak: Medyo rock at medyo fantasy.
Me: Ha?!
(Also me: Parang gusto kong magsuot ng trenchcoat at mag-hunting ng undead using my katana.)

#BakitKayaNiyaNaisipYun
Everglow

Me: Ano title ng kanta nila
Anak: "Dun-dun"
Me: Ha?!!!
Anak: Tay, just think how wany times nila sinabi yung "dun dun" sa buong kanta.
Me: Ok.

#WhoKnew?
MAMAMOO

Anak: Tay, ito favorite ni Kuya.
Me: Ano name nila?
Anak: MAMAMOO
Me: Ano?!
Anak: (Very slowly) MA-MA-MOO
Me: Ow?
(Also me: This will be an awkward answer to many questions.)

#Mothers
EXID

Me: Ilan sila?
Anak: Lima.
Me: Bakit parang apat lang yung nakikita ko?
Anak: Absent yung isa.
Me: Aaaaaaahhhhh.

#PwedePalaYun
CLC

Me: Sino naman yan?
Anak: CLC
Me: May ibig sabihin ba ang CLC?
Anak: Crystal Clear
Me: Pano naging CLC ang Crystal Clear?!!!

#DiKoKinaya
So in the end, it was a binge-worthy musical trip.

Sadly, I am stuck with Naughty and that other MV with a crazy good choreo, Nunu Nana.

Don't judge me. The LSS is bad enough.

But any reason to just break out into a song and dance with my daughter is worth that hum. 😁🥺🤨

Alam mo @RobbieMeriales nuknukan ka ng...😬

Thanks for the tag but I'm sorry because I FIRMLY DISAGREE with you on this.

Framing the debate as a noisy, even vitriolic, "war" is flawed and misplaced.

Worse, it casts unnecessary aspersion on a webinar that has yet to happen.
1/
Let us be clear.

The current debate is about having an HONEST AND CRITICAL APPRAISAL of what went wrong with the PH pandemic response.

Sadly, the discourse is hampered not only by the refusal to admit that there IS SOMETHING WRONG, but also by the vociferous defense of it!
2/
The patent refusal to admit such shortcomings is worsened by the attitude of IATF advisers, particularly doctors, who not only ignored valid concerns and criticisms but actually BELITTLED those who raised them!

The condescension has been utterly disgusting!

Is this war? No.

I hated the PLE. I still do.

I cannot accept that a decade of studying all boils down to a single exam. Who would NOT BE STRESSED by that?!

At best, the PLE only measures a fraction of how much we learned or know.

But the process is as outdated as the questions are random.
1/
I mean, 100 questions covering an entire subject you took five years prior IS NOT an adequate measure of how much we know.

Worse, the questions do not always reflect the fundamentals required of each subject.

TBH, a great deal of testmanship is needed.

So how is this FAIR?
2/
The PLE does not even take into account changes in med educ!

Some years ago, when some med schools decided to change to problem- or organ-system based educ, they erroneously still used the PLE as a measure of success.

Nung dumami yung bumagsak, binalik sa dati yung system.

Sana bago ka sumagot nang ganito @jvejercito inaral mo muna yung kaso at yung sistema ng Philhealth.

You are obviously speaking above your head so let me clarify how you got it all wrong.
1/
If you just bothered to find out before dishing out your response, you would have known that cases such as this actually happens quite frequently.

While PhilHealth has different case rates for different severities of COVID-19, these depend on WHERE the patient is confined.
2/
Since the patient was confined in a primary hospital (level 1), the hospital cannot reimburse for specialized care, which are mainly reserved for tertiary hospitals (level 3).

Kaya hindi ma-cover ng PhilHealth yung malaking bahagi ng bill nung pasyente.

This interview is very telling of why govt is ALWAYS BEHIND the pandemic and why we are LOSING this fight.

Not because the virus is spreading faster, but because govt INSISTS on its flawed and myopic approach to the disease.

A dissection and a thread.
1/
Transmission WAS NEVER controlled. Resurgence was bound to happen sooner or later.

The newer variants may have aggravated the current resurgence but the real culprit is govt UNPREPAREDNESS.

A year later, govt still relies on healthcare utilization as its main metric. Mali.
2/
PDITR naman ngayon.

Last year, when HWs called for a timeout, you rolled out your "CODE Protocol" that basically targeted these interventions. Anyare?

Wala. Puro salita, walang gawa.

Govt had a year to strengthen these, but chose to argue even simple definitions. Anlala.

Health officials should stop hiding behind the law to impose its unjustifiable increased contribution rates.

PhilHealth is allegedly forced to require higher payments from members as this is a provision of the Universal Health Care (UHC) Law.

Totoo ba ito? NO.
1/
True, increased PhilHealth rates are part of the UHC Law. In fact, it is one of the controversial provisions that oppositors wanted to remove or change.

But even if the increased rates are part of the law, is govt really forced to implement it? NO.

Are there precedents? YES.
2/
The Magna Carta of Public Health Workers (1992) states the benefits that govt healthcare workers are entitled to.

But to date, these benefits are not all given to HCWs in govt hospitals. Govt refuses to provide funds for these benefits.

So HCWs still have to fight for these.
