SALIENT POINTS OF THE JULY 25, 2021 PRRD TALK TO THE PEOPLE: A THREAD 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

✅The address begins with Dr. Edsel Salvana reporting to PRRD about the data and findings regarding Delta variant.
✅Salvana: Delta is more transmissible; we should continue to vaccinate as many people as possible.

✅Dr. Ana Ong-Lim of DOH: There is a need for stricter border control, LGU monitoring of arrivals, and implementing localized lockdowns
✅Ong-Lim: We need to prepare health capacity no matter the quarantine status.
✅Ong-Lim: Disease surveillance is enhanced by genome sequencing

✅SOF Dominguez: We expect a total of 171-M doses, which is more than enough to vaccinate PH population.
✅Dominguez: If there's need for booster shots, tell us so we can properly allocate it in the budget.
✅PRRD asks Dominguez if there's underspending as claimed by Sen. Lacson

✅Dominguez: We have already spent over P660-B in Bayanihan. Underspending only accounts 1% of that.
✅PRRD: One thing wrong with Congress is they're not listening when you [Dominguez] are talking.
✅PRRD: The criticism is always with the Executive.

✅STI Lopez: We appreciate the balancing acts of IATF; most of the restrictions are on non-essential services.
✅OCD Administrator Jalad reported government response efforts in light of Typhoon Fabian and the recent earthquake in Batangas.

✅PRRD asks Galvez about vaccine allocations in select areas.
✅PRRD: Hindi tayo nagkulang sa bakuna. The problem is for LGU to come up with a more sane practice of vaccination.
✅PRRD: Media is talking about leptospirosis. People are exposed in the open as they wait for shots.

✅PRRD asks DILG Sec. Ano to enjoin LGUs in improving vaccine rollout.
✅PRRD on LGU vaccine rollout: It's bullshit actually. If you can't do it in a place where there is a roof, hindi sila mabasa...it's a question of common sense. Look for a place where people are protected.

✅PRRD: I would question the mayor and the barangay captain because it would be the barangay captain who would act as the marshal.
✅PRRD: One thing going in our favor, other countries are having riots about the vaccines. Our citizens are really law-abiding citizens.

✅PRRD tasks SILG to find a solution to vaccine rollout problems
✅PRRD: Utang na loob ko sa inyo na tinutulungan ninyo kami, lalo na ang mga experts, the doctors, and our scientists.

✅PRRD: I know that it can be tiring, not boring, but I said there are some other entities of government who should be made aware of, so that they can make preparations if things get really worse.
✅PRRD: You can propose, but it is God who disposes.

✅PRRD: Let us pray that the political weather and the weather of climate change will be kind to us.
