DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Mayroon na kasing kumpanya from different countries na nagpakita ng interest separate pa ito sa WHO solidarity trials
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Although it is possible na itong mga ito ay mapasama din sa WHO solidarity trials.
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Kasalukuyan, mayroon na tayong 7 kandidatong vaccine na nakipagpirmahan sa confidentiality data agreement. Ibig sabihin willing silang ibigay ang lahat datos ng trials nila na ginawa sa ikanilang bansa.
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Mayroon pang limang nakipagpirmahan na, isa ay bakuna from Taiwan, dalawa sa China, isa ulit sa Russia, at isa sa Australia.
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Kung maganda ang resulta ng kanilang pagsusuri ay ipapasa na 'yan sa FDA natin para maaral ng FDA kung bibigyan na ng go signal for clinical trials.
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Doon kasi sa WHO [trials] ay mas kakaunti ang kailangang volunteers kasi there are other countries that will be doing it.
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Sa pagkakaalam namin for the WHO solidarity trials, we may only need around 1,000 volunteers
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Sa independent trials na dito lang gagawin at walang kasabay ay mangangailangan ng around 6,000 volunteers maliban lang kung may kasabay sa ibang bansa
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Inaprubahan na rin ng IATF ang rekomendasyon natin sa zoning. 'Di pwedeng magkaroon ng 2 trials sa isang zone.
DOST Sec. Dela Peña enumerates 8 zones: Anim doon sa Metro Manila, isa sa CALABARZON, isa sa Cebu
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Titiyakin natin na ang mga independent trials ay magkakaroon din ng trial zones
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Ang pinipili kasing lugar ay 'yung mataas ang incidents ng COVID-19
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Sa Maynila, ang trial zone areas ay ang PGH, at Manila Doctors. Halimbawa sa QC, it would be St. Luke's QC at kung hindi ako nagkakamali ay Lung Center
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Ang protocol ng WHO ay iyon din ang protocol ng DOH.
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Iyon kasing kaibahan lang ng Phases 1,2, and 3 ay sa size ng sample.
DOST Sec. Dela Peña on how long it will take before Phase 3 results are out: Ang estimate nila ay anywhere between 3 to 6 months.
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: We have allocated over Php 89 million sa solidarity trials
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Ngayon ang independent trials ay sila ang gagastos ng kanila
DOST Sec. Dela Peña on why we don't develop our own vaccine: Depende iyan. Noong araw naman ay nagpo-produce ng bakuna sa RITM.
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Iyong kasing mga sakit o diseases na dala ng mga bagong virus, katulad ng COVID-19 ay wala tayong kakayahan pa na gumawa ng bakuna para diyan.
DOST Sec. Dela Peña on virology institute: Ang BCDA naman ay mabilis na tumugon na mag-identify ng lugar kung saan itatayo itong facility na ito.
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Ganoon din naman sa hayop, hanggang ngayon hindi natin alam kung paano ang solusyon sa ating ASF. Bagama't mayroon na pong agreement ang DOST at DA na sa pamamagitan ng BAI ay bilisan ang research para sa ASF
DOST Sec. Dela Peña: Kung halimbawa sa isang lugar lang gagawin iyong clinical trials ay 6,000 volunteers. Pero kung sabay-sabay sa iba't-ibang lugar ay parang pinaghahatian iyan.
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: Ang total reported cases na natin as we speak is 5,549 pero ang active na lang po diyan ay 1,100 at lahat po sila ay nasa isolation facilities natin or sa mga hospitals natin kapag mayroon po silang sintomas.
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: Marami pa rin ang matitigas ang ulo kaya patuloy pa rin kaming nanghuhuli.
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: We are currently running 13 isolation facilities at ang total na natin ay 1,200 plus na kama.
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: Sa lungsod, iyong mga hospitals natin medyo bumababa na ang operating capacity nila.
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: May buffer pa tayo na mga 200 beds. Anytime pwedeng mag-operate iyang mga iyan, pero sana huwag na nating gamitin.
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: We've been focusing on testing, treating, and isolating. Aminado kami na doon talaga namin binubuhos ang lahat ng effort namin
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: Pero may pang-apat na aspeto na pino-point out lagi ng pamahalaang pang nasyonal. Iyon 'yung education.
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: Meaning bago pa dapat ma-infect 'yung mga tao, huwag na natin paabutin na kailangan niyang mag-test at mag-contact trace
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: We should ingrain in their minds that the minimum health standards ay kailangan part of lifestyle na 'yan
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: Ang Valenzuela City we started doing that (no home quarantine policy) simula noong pumutok ang pandemya.
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: Over the course of six months, iyong population natin, medyo nasanay na roon sa kultura na kapag nagpa-positive, sila ay alam nilang mag-e-empake na dahil susunduin sila, ililipat sa isolation units.
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: Ang ginagawa namin ay home swabbing. We don't let them leave their houses anymore
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: Once ma-swab sila habang inaantay ang resulta, 2 days ay nila-lockdown namin ang kanilang bahay.
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian: We're going to open our own molecular laboratory. Right now, nasa last stage na sila ng licensing natin.
Valenzuela Mayor Gatchalian states that they have tested 4% of the city's population
As of Sept. 9, there are 245,143 confirmed COVID-19 cases, 185,543 recoveries and 3,986 fatalities nationwide.
