@Mai_Rodrigz OCTA Research Fellow Guido David: We have been saying that 'yung mga cases ay hindi agad bababa even with the ECQ. The good news is the reproduction number has decreased.
@Mai_Rodrigz Dr. David: Even nag-improve 'yung reproduction number, hindi ibig sabihin pababa na ang cases.
@Mai_Rodrigz Dr. David: Right now, mataas pa rin ang hospital occupancy pero tinataas na ang capacity at manpower. I think the government is making the right decisions.
@Mai_Rodrigz Dr. David: Some cities in Metro Manila ay pababa na ang cases, Pasay and Marikina ay on a downward trend na. Soon susunod na ang ibang cities.
@Mai_Rodrigz Dr. David: Sometime next week, baka umabot na sa 1 ang reproduction number natin. By the end of next week, kapag less than one na ang reproduction number, bababa na ang pagbaba ng cases.
@Mai_Rodrigz Filipino pop group SB19 on its brand new single "What?": 'Yung kanta po ay base sa storya na na-e-experience namin, pinanghihinaan kami ng loob dahil feeling namin hindi enough 'yung ginagawa namin. Ang kanta sinasabi na maging proud sa sarili mo kahit anong estado mo sa buhay.
@Mai_Rodrigz SB19 on the group's international fame: Iniisip po namin ang reaction ng mga Pilipino. Bago namin ito ilabas, para ito sa mga pinoy na sumusuporta sa amin. Pero dun na rin pumasok 'yung tingin ng international fans. (1/2)
@Mai_Rodrigz SB19: Nakakataba sa puso dahil kahit hindi nila naiintindihan 'yung kanta, or kung ano ang Pilipinas, nalalaman nila 'yung maliliit na bagay tungkol sa Pilipinas. (2/2) cnnphilippines.com/life/entertain…
