Kapag nagtetrend ang #NasaanAngPangulo sa mga kalamidad na nangyayari sa bansa, isa ang malinaw, palagi syang WALA o di kaya'y lilitaw kapag tapos na ang kalamidad. Ika nga the aftermath o assessment na ng mga damage. Ano siya, taga Insurance Company?
Did Ambassador Romualdez unwittingly exposes his boss by telling the truth?
Romualdez added that American pharmaceutical company Pfizer will ensure supply for the Philippines of its COVID-19 vaccine after it is approved for distribution.

His assurance comes after Pfizer announced that its vaccine candidate proved 90% effective in an initial study of its Phase 3 clinical trials, a ray of hope for people all over the world weary of the ongoing pandemic.

A former trusted aide, journo Primitivo Mijares authored a tell-all, first-hand account of the excesses & atrocities of the Marcos couple entitled, “The Conjugal Dictatorship" published at the height of martial law in 1976. He paid dearly with his son's life and his own.

Despite Marcos’ bribe offer of $100,000, Mijares testified before the United States House subcommittee on international organizations, which heard cases of human rights violations.

While staying in the US as an exile, Mijares accepted an invitation to return to the Philippines in 1977. He was last seen boarding a flight home with a known Marcos intelligence agent but had never been heard from since.

Earlier, Sec Andanar boasted: The SONA would be one that is full of OPTIMISM and HOPE.
Duterte started the SONA with TIRADES on the Lopezes and senator Franklin Drillon: "I am a casualty of the Lopezes during the 2016 elections," he said.
I say, foreign and local investors can only sigh in disappointment: Come'on, move on with your petty and unfounded grievance against a private company and the oppositions! What we would like to hear is what are you going to do onward to curb the pandemic & stimulate the economy?
Then after going through a prepared speech reading thourhg the teleprompter, injected his usual threat against criminals, emphasized his threat to eradicate them all. There will be many dead again...
Funny is, going back to the teleprompter, 'hirap naman kasing basahin nito eh."
So on record we would have the longest lockdown or more than three months? We have ECQ, MECQ, GCQ, MGCQ; and subject to modification, as in extensions or reversion. Note that LGUs can also apply a hard lockdown or so-called special lockdown to a particular barangay unit...

It is clear that a lock-down is a PREVENTIVE measure or call it 'buy for more time' to halt massive infection/ transmission of the virus so that the health authorities can prep up our health care facilities; acquire test kits, improve hospital bed capacities and equipment...

Did we achieve anything? As one newspaper would describe it...
"AMID the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Philippines has unwittingly ensconced itself in the record books as having imposed the longest lockdown in the world."
Is the gov't using the public health emergency to stifle dissent? Well, it would appear that the full might & resources of the state is being used against ordinary citizens, critics.
It started last month, the NBI summoned more than a dozen people for allegedly spreading...

“fake news” over social media while the country is fighting the COVID-19.
A netizen was summoned for asking how the gov't managed to spend P2-billion for a private jet but has no money for health care.
Recently, four people from all over the country have been accosted by police for online posts offering a bounty for anyone who can kill Duterte. Including one who is questioning the former SAP now Senator Go's pervasive tailing of the president.
