“Disappointed po ako sapagkat hindi lang po siya ang wala, ngayon pati mga key officials. Sila po ba ay nagbigay sa atin ng ebidensiya na sila ay hindi pupwedeng pumunta ng plenary?

Ano ba ang binigay na ebidensya na sila ay [may sakit]… if they are not malingering? What evidence to prove they are really sick?”

“Maaari pa bang maloko ang gobyerno sa sistema ng IT na meron ang PhilHealth ngayong panahong ito?”

Ang unang sagot ni Aragona ay ‘fool-proof’ na ang IT system ng PhilHealth. Pero, sinabihan na mananagot siya sa kanyang sagot sa tanong, kaya, mabilis niyang binago…

“Maaari din.”

Kaya hinamon ni Alvarado ang mga kasamahang kongresista na bantayan ang procurement ng mga kinakailangang gamit para sa ikakaayos ng sistema ng PhilHealh.

“Sa laki ng ating bansa, kung tayo ay magsusulatan lamang o magpapadalahan tayo ng mga papeles mula sa iba’t ibang ospital papunta sa PhilHealth, ita-type ulit natin, hahanapin natin yung mga peke, mga totoo na claims sa PhilHealth, aabutin tayo ng santo-santo,”

“Maraming alegasyon ng katiwalian pagdating sa bagong procurement ng IT system ng PhilHealth. kung may problema doon sa procurement, higpitan natin ang procurement ng PhilHealth. Bantayan natin.”

“Buhay pa sila Apolinario Mabini, Emilio Aguinaldo, US President Mckinley. Sa China, meron pang Xing Dynasty. Pero registered po ito sa PhilHealth?”

“Meron 18 years old ginawang senior citizen. Meron dito 3 years old ginawa niyong senior citizen.”

“Iniiba na ninyo ‘yung batas. May 18 years old, may 56 years old, papano natin maayos ‘to na binago ninyo pati ang classification ng senior citizen?”

So nandito sa harap ko ngayon ang pagpapasalamat. Hindi ko na lang basahin lahat basta I said na galing sa puso ko nagpapasalamat po ako sa inyo sa mabuting loob ninyo sa Pilipino.

And someday we will — makabayad man lang kami sa utang na loob sa inyo. But I promise you that the Philippines and Russia will remain friends forever.

Pinatutsadahan ni Jojo del Rosario si Thorrsson Keith na tinawag pang ‘kampon ni Satanas’ na gusto daw sirain ang kanyang kredibilidad.

Emosyonal pa niyang sinabi sa mga senador na bakit sila naniniwala kay Keith na hindi naman dapat pagtiwalaan.

Sumagot si Tito Sotto kay del Rosario na dapat ibalik sa kanya ang tanong na ‘Bakit kami maniniwala sa iyo!’

Bistado si Morales sa pagrerelease ng pondo para sa Interim Reimbursement Mechanism kahit wala pang COVID-19 pero nakalaan ang pondo para sa COVID.

Sinabi ni Morales na ang maagang pagrerelease noong January 2020 ay bilang paghahanda sa PAPASOK PA LANG na pandemya. Ayon sa presidente isa na ito sa dahilan o intensyon na napag-uusapan ng board sa maagang pagrerelease ngunit pinabulaan ng mismong nasa board na kasama na ang COVID-19 sa nasabing IRM.

“Maligayang-maligaya ako kasi ang Russia kaibigan natin ito. Wala tayong away sa Russia. Ang ano nila is bibigay sila ng bakuna, wala naman silang sinasabing ‘Bayaran mo,’”

“Ito tingin ko kay President Putin, tulong niya sa atin, libre. Kaya ngayon, tinatanggao natin at kung ano ang supply, mag-usap pa kami kung ilan ang kailangan natin,”

“Ako pagdating ng bakuna in public, para walang satsat diyan, in public magpa-injection ako,”

“Ako ‘yong unang ma-eksperimentuhan. Okay para sa akin.”

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte meets with several Cabinet members on the latest updates regarding the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) situation in the Philippines and the measures being done by the government in mitigating the effects of the pandemic.

As the nation continues to battle the health and economic challenges brought upon by the COVID-19, President Duterte appeals to his ‘kababayans’ for their part in controlling the spread of the virus by staying healthy and keeping other people safe through the continued practice of minimum health standards such as social distancing, wearing of face masks and other necessary protective measures.

Nag-isyu po ang ating Presidente ng isang memorandum na naka-address po kay Secretary Menardo Guevarra ng Department of Justice na bumuo po ng task force para po imbestigahan ang mga anomalya dito sa PhilHealth.

Sang-ayon po sa memorandum ng ating Presidente na kakaisyu lang ngayon lang po, kinakailangan po bumuo ng task force na kabibilangan po ng Ombudsman, ng Commission on Audit, ng Civil Service Commission, ng Office of the Executive Secretary, kasama na po si Usec. Quitain at iba pang ahensiya pa gaya ng PACC, para po mag-imbestiga, maglitis, magsuspend, mag-conduct ng lifestyle check at ipakulong ang lahat ng magnanakaw diyan sa PhilHealth.

Dati-rati po, paulit-ulit nag-iimbestiga ang Kamara at ang Senado, wala pong nangyayari kasi wala pong kapangyarihan ng preventive suspension. Ngayon po, ang imbestigasyon na ito ay kasama na po ang preventive suspension.

So mga kababayan, huwag po kayong mag-alala, nakinig po ang ating Presidente at umakto bagama’t wala pa pong mapapatunayan sa lalong mabilis na panahon, mayroon naman pong preventive suspension na mapangalagaan ang kaban ng PhilHealth.

So, this is not an ordinary investigation, they will in fact exercise the power of preventive suspension and lifestyle check. So, ang mensahe po sa mga buwaya ng PhilHealth, ‘Tapos na po ang maliligayang araw ninyo diyan. Goodbye.’

WEBB: Okay. All right. I need to shift topic, sir – PhilHealth. I know you have a lot to say about this, this is something we discussed even in the past. I think—

SEC. ROQUE: [Laughs] …Don’t get me started Pinky [laughs].

WEBB: We were already calling out President Morales of PhilHealth. No, I have to get you started, sir. No, sir, we need to understand the situation. Let’s look at what was said yesterday. Atty. Keith of the Anti-Fraud Team of PhilHealth—former rather, said 15 billion pesos was stolen or misused by the mafia or PhilHealth executives. I wanted to ask you, is 15 billion—does this sound about right to you or do you think this is exaggerated or understated even?

SEC. ROQUE: Well, you know, when we initially brought to the public’s attention the WellMed scam ‘no, I was no longer Spokesperson then, I was a private individual. We also had a source who said that for a period of time, PhilHealth lost about 174 billion more or less. And that is why if you look at what Atty. Keith said, perhaps he’s giving us an accurate estimate because he’s not the only one who says that.

And what is somehow making people believe Atty. Keith, is he is an anti-fraud investigator and initially when he resigned, Gen. Morales denied that he was an anti-fraud investigator and for simply—who was a simple as showing his ID that he is in fact an anti-fraud investigator. And the initial attempt of Gen. Morales to disclaim his employment as being an anti-fraud investigator I think is crucial because that established the credibility of Atty. Keith and I think Gen. Morales knew that as well, that’s why he had to attempt to destroy his credibility by saying he had nothing to do with fraud investigation.

So, someone who is familiar with the pattern of fraud perpetrated in the PhilHealth, I would say that’s convincing because I had another source that said that more or less that’s how much money is being lost annually.

WEBB: 15B?

SEC. ROQUE: Yes, and of course even in—for accounting purposes, they recognized that there will be 2% wastage on fraud itself and this is an accepted figure worldwide ‘no. But of course, the 15 billion has exceeded the 2% ceiling recognized by accountants worldwide. WEBB: Well, that’s where I wanted to go. The President said President Morales was saying the 10 billion lost in fraudulent claims in 2019, I was going to ask you that. Is that even acceptable because if you ask, I’m sure, sir, all of us who pay our PhilHealth contributions, 10 billion is not something easy to digest, sir.

SEC. ROQUE: No, that’s not something that we can digest and we should never digest. We should never accept that even a single peso is lost through corruption because precisely the law which I authored in the Lower House – Universal Healthcare, will not be implemented correctly unless every single peso that the state invests in PhilHealth is used towards providing the people with free medicine and free healthcare. So every centavo counts, we cannot afford to lose 10 billion, not even 1 peso for that matter.

WEBB: Yeah. But when there is such a statement, sir, that 10 billion pesos could have been lost in fraudulent claims, that’s not—I guess that’s just not acceptable, sir.

SEC. ROQUE: It is not and that’s why my beef against Gen. Morales is I have no evidence that he is corrupt himself. But when he was placed there by the President to replace a previous board and a previous president because of the WellMed scam, our expectation is he will take concrete steps to rid the agency of corruption.

WEBB: Yeah.

SEC. ROQUE: And yesterday what worried me was he admitted that corruption was still rampant and I did not hear steps that he has taken to remove corruption in the agency – that to me, is the most worrisome.

WEBB: We’re back on The Source, I only have time for one more question. Secretary Roque, do you think Gen. Morales should take a leave of absence or resign?

SEC. ROQUE: That’s really up to him. I’m not in a position to tell him what to do. The President has said that he will not fire him unless there’s evidence and I think the Senate now is in the process of documenting this evidence, at the same time there’s also parallel investigation being conducted by Usec. Quitain. So it’s his decision whether or not he wants to go on leave while these investigations are ongoing but I’m just happy that 2 branches of government are investigating these allegations of fraud because as I said, our Universal Healthcare Law cannot succeed unless we rid PhilHealth of corruption.

Sobrang galing ni Teacher Cong. Guimbo sa pagpapakita at pagtuturo sa PhilHealth officials na ang kanilang planong inilalaan na pondo para sa COVID-19 ay maging pondo para sa korapsyon. Kitang-kita ang kapalpakan ng pamamaraan ng PhilHealth sa patuloy na pagpapatupad ng All-Case-Rate system.

Thank you Cong Quimbo.

To the Senate 2022!

Kapag hindi pa naman maunawaan ni PhilHealth President Morales ang example ni Cong Marcoleta kung paano nagkakadayaan at nagka-kukupitan sa PhilHealth e talagang walang mababago diyan kung siya pa rin ang mananatiling presidente ng PhilHealth!

Ginisa ni Francis Tolentino ang Presidente ng PhilHealth na dati rin niyang Professor dahil sa pagkakadawit sa malaking halaga na anomalya sa kagawaran.

I have heard the call of different groups from the medical community for a two-week enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in Mega Manila.

I fully understand why your health workers would like to ask for such a timeout period. They have been in the frontlines for months and are exhausted.

To our health workers, this is a war that you have been trained to fight. This is a profession that you, all of you, and who were educated and trained to face such challenges, you are frontliners in the battle because you are learned in this field.

Kung bayaan natin tutulong — kung walang tutulong rather, sa bansa at ang mga kababayan natin, sino ang maasahan ko? Sino ang maasahan natin na gumawa ng trabahong ito?

Huwag kayong mawalaan ng pag-asa, nakikita at kausap ko ang iba sa inyo. Habaan ninyo lang — you stretch your patience and your — not endurance because you can only also take so much, your fervor. Habaan na lang ninyo „yung pasensiya ninyo and your fervor na ikaw ay isang medical na tao at tiwala kami sa inyong kakayahan. We are aware that you are tired, that you have worked almost even beyond 24 hours a day. Pero ito kasi „yung… Wala kaming matakbuhan. Kayo „yung nag-aral, kayo „yung may alam.

Now ngayon kung sabihin ninyo na anong mabuti and you raise the spectacle of „yung ang agony ninyo, you treat it as if you are about ready to stop to work. Huwag naman ganoon kasi kawawa ang mga kababayan natin. Sinong maasahan namin?

I don‟t know. I‟m sure that is not in your heart. But from your maybe despair, I would like to tell you that ang ating gobyerno ay hindi mag — mag-iwan ng mga trabahante niya.

So to my fellow countrymen, we are doing everything possible to alleviate the situation, to assist our healthcare workers and enhance our healthcare system.

Alam mo kasi… You know, first time nangyari ito eh. And this is not just something like a call to action for a few sick persons maybe because of the distance, or maybe because of the… Ito lahat eh. Wala namang may gustong…

Kaya nga si Secretary Duque, gusto nilang putulin „yung ulo. Ano mang kasalanan niya? Now ‘yung medisina nandiyan. Eh nagkabuhol-buhol ang trabaho because this is the first time and hindi ko kinukumpara. You read or you listen to BBC and CNN. Nakita ninyo America and the rest are far more worse than us. Iyan ang problema. But they have the machines, they have the equipment, and yet, they are suffering terribly. Almost hindi ka makapaniwala.

So kami dito, hindi namin kayo kinakalimutan. There would not have been no need for you to go into a — itong ganito. And raising your hands as if sabihin ninyo revolution, revolution.

Now, if you think that this can be solved by revolution, then by all means, we start it. Mas gusto ko. Kung magsabi kayo, nagtaas na kayo, revolution, revolution, go ahead because I would be calling all people who love their country to come forward and work for the people.

Iyong mga health workers na hindi connected sa gobyerno, we will try to help. But there is no need for you and for the guys ng ano ng 1,000 of you telling us what to do publicly. You could have just wrote us a letter. Lahat naman nang sinasabi ninyo sinusunod namin. You know, it’s the resources, ang pera. May gusto kayong bilihin ko. Ang problema ang bulsa ko butas na ‘yung isa dahil we have suffered economically pati individually. Iyong income ninyo, wala na. Hindi lang man kayo.

But to go almost on a — not really a rampage but an outrage, parang galit at mag-revolution, revolution. So huwag naman ganun kasi alam ninyo nagtatrabaho kaming lahat. Kung iyan lang ang makaya ng pera namin — natin, eh di hanggang diyan lang tayo.

Hindi naman kami mabuti nakaupo lang diyan, nandiyan ‘yung pera, hindi naman pinapagalaw. Everybody is trying. Kaya nga eh may iba-ibang modalities na lang how the vaccine, if ever mabigay, mag-abot sa atin. Next time, you can just ask for an audience.

Pero huwag ho kayo magsigaw-sigaw ng revolution niyo. Alam mo, sa totoo, alam niyo hindi ninyo ako kilala talaga. Magsabi kayo revolution, then ngayon na. Go ahead. Try it. Sirain natin itong bayan. Patayin natin lahat ng may COVID.

Is that what you want? We can always end our existence in this manner. Hindi naman kayo natatakot siguro. Alam namin ‘yon na hindi kami matakot sa ganun. But to send a message na without giving government a chance.

Ngayon, anong gusto ninyo? I will implement other things in this government without informing you. Would you be happy with that? Or if you are really on a rampage, you want a revolution, fine. Let’s start it. Go ahead — go ahead in the streets and disturb. Makita natin.

Then we will need almost all building, all hospitals there. Hindi lang COVID. Hindi ko — I am not threatening you pero gusto ko lang subukan ninyo. Ako, I dare you, do it at magkita tayo kung sa ano… Those who want to work with government, lahat ng mga nurses na pulis, pumasok kayo sa pulis kasi malaki ang suweldo. If you remain a nurse outside, you only get about eight, nine, 10.

So it’s time to give more to the people. All nurses sa uniformed sector will have to work, and we can always ask for volunteers. Then I am asking Secretary Lorenzana to mobilize, call a mobilization of doctors and nurses and those who can help kung iyan maa — iyan na lang ang maasahan namin, or I might outrightly call for all reservists to work. Iyan na lang. Ang COVID nandiyan. Wala mang kasalanan. Ni ikaw wala kang solusyon eh. What are you babbling about? What’s the solution?

If you have COVID, we have been frank before with you and still I am frank until now. And that is also the answer of all leaders of government. Anak ka ng… Do not so… So as to be heard. I don’t… I don’t… I don’t give a f*** if you gather 1,000, 2,000.

But bear in mind na kayo mismo kung ipa-take over ko kayo, kayo, kayong lahat, ako ang magbayad sa iyo, i-take over ninyo. Tignan ko kung ano ang lagay ninyo. We are not incompetents here because we are not doctors. Eh kayo ang dapat ang mag-ano… You should do the soul — the soul searching. Not us. Kayo ang makatulong sana at wala kayong ginagawa kung „di magreklamo. Ikaw naman ang… What can I — what can I do?

I’ve always been praying to God for the vaccine. Alam ninyo, doktor kayo eh. Huwag na nating dramahin ito ng mga pasulat-sulat. At saka itong mga health workers that I said you are bone-weary. Bone-weary is an idiom. It says simply that you are too tired to move. You are beat, ika nga. Bakit kayo hindi nag — pumunta dito na…?

Pera? Maghanap tayo ng pera. Secretary Dominguez. Mabuti’t na lang sabi ko, ang vaccine dumating. Kaya ‘yung prediction — my dire prediction is that it would usually take… Tanungin niyo ‘yung — kayong mga doktor — five years to perfect a vaccine from the ano… Alam ninyo ‘yan.

So do not try to demean government. You are not actually criticizing. You demean by government — your own government by just going ahead, at saka takutin ng revolution. Bayan man natin ito. Gusto ninyo sirain natin? Start it now.

Nary a moment to waste. Ako, kung anong klase ibigay nang nagtatrabaho ako, kung ano ang nasa harap ko, I will react appropriately. Kayong mga nurses, ulitin ko, outside, aide workers, maghanap ako ng pera sa Congress.

Again, to the health workers, doctors, nurses, sa not connected with government, we will try to look out for a way. Marami kaming gustong ibigay sa inyo: insurance; then the 10,000 risk, across the board „yan; tapos free accommodation; free transportation; free testing.

Siyempre. Dapat kayo every two days, masakit lang sa… Wala bang pantusok na p** i** na hindi masakit? [laughter] Okay lang „yan sa tilaok. Kinakain ko minsan buto „yan eh tendon ng baka. Pero p… Okay lang „yan pero „yung sa ilong? Naku, Diyos ko. Kulkugin mo ang p* i.

Tapos kayong nasa gobyerno, a reservist we might call for a mobilization. Lahat. You know, my daughter, Inday Sara, „pag ako ang nag-mobilize, mauna „yan. I will specifically point out to her as one of those who will answer the…

Ah, you cannot even — you have no — you have not that luxury of accepting or not accepting. Remember that you are a reservist, you are subject to martial law. Martial law ka talaga. Hindi martial law ng gobyerno, martial law ng disiplina.

At saka „yung mga pulis, mga nurses, be ready to be deployed there. Mga pulis, advise your workers na — „yung mga pulis mo na babae, ibaba ninyo lahat, we will train them for about just one or two days. We will select a big auditorium, „yung PICC. You come here in the morning, free merienda, masarap na pancit pati ano. Tapos merienda, mag-uwi kayo, and we will tell you what to do. Ganoon lang „yan.

Kung mag-resign kayong mga — magtamad-tamaran kayo? Then we will tell the — we will help you with government personnel and they will work. How many hours a day has? Twenty-four? Oh, I can ask my soldiers to work 28 hours a day — iyong mga sundalo, „yung mga pulis. So ganoon.

We are not actually inutile. At saka next time you — as a matter of courtesy, not to me, I don‟t need it, but to the government kasi gagastusin natin „yung pera ng tao. Then next time, huwag ninyo akong parinigrinigin ng revolution. Naku, Diyos ko.

Iyan ang mas delikado sa COVID. Eh kung mag-revolution kayo, you will give me the free ticket to stage a counterrevolution. How I wish you would do it.

PRESIDENT DUTERTE: Si Ernest ‘yan siya, Ernest ang tawag namin, Cu, sa Presidente ng Globe. Siya mismo. Kasi sabi ko ‘pag hindi mo pa na-improve ‘yan, I will hang you in one of your towers.

Sabi niya, “Mayor, you cannot do that because there is no tower. The local governments are all f it up, that’s why. So saan mo ako bitayin? Sa lubi (coconut tree)?” Sabi ko, “Tama ka, Erns.”

GLOBE PRESIDENT AND CEO ERNEST CU: We are suffering ho from many, many years of this, before your administration, many administrations ‘no. Twenty-five to 29 permits, umaabot ng walong buwan tapos marami pa ho kaming mga miscellaneous fees ho, iba-ibang klaseng tower fee, mayroon kaming special use permit.

Hindi ho namin ma-standardize ho ‘yan ‘no. Sa isang taon ho para makapagpatayo ho kami ng 1,500 towers — which is a record ho for Globe, and I think PLDT built the same amount — kailangan ho namin mag-umpisa ng triple niyang amount na ‘yan or quadruple.

Kasi nga ho hindi namin alam anong tutuloy eh sa dami ng permit na required para makarating kami sa stage na ready to build, ‘no. So isipin niyo lang ho ‘yon, sir. Kung nag-apply kami ng 5,000 towers times 28 or 30 permits na lang, ilang libo hong permit ang kukunin namin para lang makapag-umpisa.

PRESIDENT DUTERTE: It’s really corruption. Alam mo, you can ask Bong and the business can ask Sonny Dominguez, kay — the generals, kay Secretary Año, isumbong na lang ninyo diretso at ang order ko sa Cabinet ngayon is to really take the — the — ‘yang pinakamabigat.

The most drastic measure that you can find para magkaintindihan na tayo.This is my last mile. I make no apologies about it kung ano ang nagawa ko o anong mali ko. Basta ako magtrabaho lang.

Mga kababayan ko ganito ang sabihin ko sa inyo, unang-una, we always invoke the name of God. I thank the Lord for guiding the brains of other races other than Filipinos — we will try but lack of facilities or talagang wala talaga tayong infrastructure for research and… Mayroon akong bakuna. Ang hingiin ko sa inyo ganito magtiis lang kayo nang kaunti dahil nga sa hawaan.

Ngayon marami na ang nahawa it’s because ‘yung iba ayaw ninyong magpapigil. Sabihin niyo wala kaming roadmap. The roadmap ng recovery natin — I do not know din ‘yung headline niyang newspaper. Sabi ko nga hindi ako nagbabasa ng newspaper eh.

The roadmap… If it’s about me, I do not read. “Duterte, where is your roadmap?” Hindi nga kami maka-roadmap because we were talking about a budget. Ito, ito ngayong gabing ito. Hindi kami maka-ano ng — I could not have uttered a single sentence about roadmap to recovery kasi ang una talaga diyan ang medicine.

Now sa — ang mayroon na except for the authorization ‘yung i-distribute na at ‘yang final approval — idistribute na sa mga opisina nila dito Pfizer, Moderna, for the public. I promise you by the grace of God I hope by December we would be back to normal. Huwag ninyo ‘yang new normal, new normal kasi sabi ko nga noon pag-umpisa natin hintayin lang natin ‘yung vaccine.

Hintayin lang ho ninyo by December kung makatiis kayo kasi kung lalabas din kayo, matamaan kayo, patay rin eh. Ang mayroon ng — kasasabi ko nga kaya ako saludo talaga ako sa Chinese. Kayong iba diyan sige kayo daldal.

Ang unang makuha nga natin siguro from China. Sinovac China, phase 3, emergency authorization pati approval. Sinopharm, China, sa Wuhan pa, doon galing ‘yung ano — so they say. Sinopharm Beijing. Moderna, nasa stage 4 na sila. Pfizer, BioNTech. CanSino [Biologics], China, sa third. [WuXi?], China, Innovia, [Novavax], Johnson & Johnson first — first stage pa lang.

Mga next month mayroon ng [garbled]. Ang mapabubuti lang nito to our credit is that we have remained friendly with China and China was able to guarantee, sabi nila dito sa akin, that the Philippines would…

Ito basahin ko na lang — Chinese Embassy: “COVID…” “China to give priority to the Philippines once the COVID-19 vaccine is successfully developed says Spokesperson Wang Wenbin at their regular press conference on July 28, 2020.” July 28 sinabi niya ‘yan. “The Philippines is a friendly close neighbor to China. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the two countries have been standing together with mutual assistance, turning epidemic cooperation a new highlight in bilateral…”

Nangako sila na priority tayo. Ang the first three China ang nangunguna eh. Moderna pati ‘yung Oxford AstraZeneca, it’s a — ano ito American o kung… [Official: British, sir.] British, ah British.

Now, ito ngayon balik tayo sa — mabuti’t nandiyan — nandito ‘yung Cabinet. Magtanong sila: “Mabigyan ba kami, Mayor?” Ito ang i-guarantee ko: Ang listahan ng mga tao na makatanggap ng pera noon sa hirap ang una na bibigyan ng assistance, iyon ang category natin. Ang mauna ‘yung walang-wala at saka of course those in the hospitals, ‘yung mga sick or dying. Ang una talaga ‘yung mga tao sa listahan na tumatanggap ng assistance sa gobyerno.

Ngayon, pangalawa, ‘yung middle-income. Libre ito. Hindi ko ito ipagbili. Iyong third, kagaya mo Bong; Wendel; Sonny; ikaw General Lorenzana; General Año; ikaw ma’am, ako na ang — ‘yung para akin hatiin natin [laughter] bigyan kita. Wendel is not so rich. Lalo naman itong… Itong mga military na ito pobre ‘to.

Mauna rin kayo. And also my military and my police because I need a strong backbone. The backbone of my administration is the uniformed personnel of government. Iyong mga mayaman, huwag na ninyong — huwag na ninyo akong isipin kasi hindi ako nag-iisip sa inyo. Sorry na lang. Kayo kung maka-afford. ‘Pag nakita ka nang nagpapabakuna ka diyan nang libre…

At saka may mga tao na ano gusto ko injectionan uli ng COVID-19, dagdagan ko pa ‘yang kagaw sa katawan. [Ano bang kagaw sa Tagalog?] [Official: Germs] Germ, germs. Kagaw sa Bisaya. Kamong mga suberbiyo, suberbiyo man gud. Galit pa kayo sa akin.

Kamong mga Cebu, nasuko pa sa ako nganong gisaway ta mo. Nganong ‘di ta mo sawayon? During the critical periods, nakit-an nako ang Cebu freewheeling murag walay COVID. Nag-inom pa, magsugal. Ay sus Gino-o, og ako’y na-mayor ngadto sipa ang abton. Ipakaon ko ng inyong sunoy, ipakilaw ko na sa inyong atubangan.

(TRANSLATION: To the Cebuanos, you got mad at me when I reprimanded you. Why shouldn’t I reprimand you? During the critical periods, I witnessed Cebu freewheeling as if there is no COVID. You were drinking and gambling. My God, had I been the mayor there I would kick you. I will make you eat your gamecocks and have it cooked right in front of you.)

Kita mo ang spike ng Cebu ang taas. Ganito ngayon, sabihin ko sa inyo magtiis-tiis lang kayo. Nandiyan na eh. Sinabi ko iyon ang ipinagdadasal ko sa Diyos na for God to guide — a guiding light so that these guys can make the vaccine. Iyon ang distribution.

Ano ‘yung listahan na tinulungan ng gobyerno sila ang mauna. Iyong mga upper-income, ah magbili na lang kayo. Libre ito. Bilihin natin. Sonny will explain to you kung papaano. So… Almost by December tapos ‘to lahat. Mga — as fast as we can.

Ngayon, sino ang bigyan ko ng trabaho na ‘yan? Kasi ganito ‘yan, nandito na ‘yung bakuna. Tatanggapin ko ‘yan. Sino pabigyan ko? Ibigay ko sa barangay — ang barangay captain, “O, halikayo.” Sabihin niya sa lider niya, “Iyong si — ‘yung si kapitan, wala ‘yan, hindi ‘yan nagtulong.”

Bahala na mamatay na ‘yang barangay niya. Mamulitika unahanin niya. Siya mayaman na. “Ako muna.” ‘Di ‘yung mga kalaban niya politika, hindi mabigyan. Iyong ayaw niya, hindi mabigyan.

Ngayon sino ang magdala nito? Military. Military lang. Bahala na. I’m asking the Armed Forces, I’m asking General Lorenzana. Kayo man ring ang… There’s the setup, kaya may Task Force tayo. But the implementing arm, military.

Punta lang kayo sa… I suggest that the military assign so many — so many of the soldiers and policemen sa — punta lang kayo ng ospital. May mga military doon, punta lang kayo ng police station. Mga pulis pakinggan ninyong mabuti ha: Ayaw ko nang — ayaw ko nang magkaatraso kayo dito. ‘Pag kayo nagkaatraso, nagkamali, kulong talaga kayo.

Punta kayo sa pulis — the — the Puericulture Center pero military ang tutusok sa iyo. Iyong mga kalaban ko, sabihin ko sa military, “Do not use the needle. Bayoneta ang gamitin mo.” Lalo… Mga drug pusher, drug addict, I will not waste my… Ibigay ko na lang ‘yan doon sa ibang lugar na pobre rin. Hindi ko — hindi kayong mga drug pusher, wala kayo, mga… May listahan ‘yung ano diyan. Hayaan mo.

Iyon ang ano — iyon ang utos ko. Iyan ang gusto ko. Hindi maganda? Hindi talaga maganda. Iyong mga tao — hindi pala tao sila? Tingin ko mga drug pusher, drug lord? Aso. Tingin ko sa kanya aso. Hindi ako magtulong sa inyo. Sinisira ninyo ‘yung Pilipinas, pinapatay ninyo ang tao.

Tinalakay ng House of Representatives ang tungkol sa kalagayan ng mga Locally Stranded Individuals na nasa Rizal Memorial Stadium, at sinermunan ang mga media na huwag maging bias sa pamamagitan ng pag-exaggerate ng mga balita.
