Naghugas ako halos 20+ pirasong ganito kanina habang iniisip ang speakership fight. Makapit talaga ang sebo (pork) sa plastic (mga kongresman). Pero kung mabagsik ang dishwashing at sponge natin, tayo pa rin ang magtatagumpay. 😅 Image
Sa mga curious: Dazz Dishwashing po ang ginamit ko, saka Scotchbrite 👌
Opo, may ganung levels po tayo ng pasensya, disiplina at determinasyon laban sa ganyang mga klaseng masebong plastic 😅

LOOK: Doctors’ group SECOND OPINION calls on colleagues to reclaim medical quarantine, reject Duterte-style lockdowns

Prescribes 6 steps for more effective COVID19 response
SECOND OPINION: “Doctors and HCWs must reclaim quarantine for what it should be: a public health measure aimed at saving lives by stopping the spread of disease. We must reject the distorted forms of “community quarantine” (that are) devoid of scientific sense and health purpose”
SECOND OPINION: “If we are to implement a quarantine, it must be a MEDICAL QUARANTINE, with healthcare workers in the lead and with clear health goals and outcomes.”
