HEALTH officials in the cities of Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu in Cebu have confirmed logging pertussis cases, including several suspected pertussis cases, especially among children and infants.Agnes Realiza, head of the Lapu-Lapu City Health Office (LCHO), and Debra Catulong, head of the Mandaue City Health Office (MCHO), said in an interview with SunStar Tuesday, March 26, 2024, that they have been increasing the administration of pentavalent vaccines to contain the spread of the disease, particularly among toddlers and infants.They have also been conducting catch-up vaccinations, or administering vaccines to those who missed out on a particular vaccine at the recommended age or missed a scheduled vaccination dose. The pentavalent vaccine, as defined by the World Health Organization, protects children and infants from potentially deadly diseases, which include diphtheria, tetanus, Hib, hepatitis B, and pertussis.Realiza reported on March 25 that there was only one confirmed case of pertussis in Lapu-Lapu, while 15 were suspected to be pertussis cases. These 15, however, were later identified to be not related to the respiratory illness.Catulong, for her part, did not give an exact number but confirmed that Mandaue City also has confirmed and suspected cases of the disease.Both Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu have had no outbreaks of pertussis, said the two officials.Early consultation Both Realiza and Catulong recommended that parents should seek immediate medical consultation, such as visiting the LCHO and MCHO, if they notice that their children have coughs and colds. Catulong also reminded parents to follow the instructions for medication intake and isolate the pertussis-infected child from other children to prevent contamination.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pertussis, commonly known as "whooping cough," is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection that can affect people of all ages but is especially dangerous for babies. It is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis.The bacteria spread easily from person to person through the air. The CDC said the whooping cough can only be contracted from other humans.The early symptoms of pertussis include a runny or stuffy nose, a mild and occasional cough (mostly common for adults), low-grade fever (less than 38 degrees Celsius), apnea (life-threatening pauses in breathing), and cyanosis (turning blue or purple) in babies and toddlers.If left untreated for two weeks, the infected person may start to develop whooping cough, which is later accompanied by paroxysms -- rapid, violent, uncontrollable coughing fits that can cause the infected person to struggle to breathe and vomit that last up to 10 weeks.The CDC said babies infected with pertussis are likely to suffer from difficulty in breathing, while teenagers and adults generally have milder symptoms.Hand washing Realiza and Catulong advised the public to practice proper handwashing and resume wearing face masks to prevent the spread of the disease.The two health officials emphasized the importance of vaccinating children against common diseases like pertussis and seeking regular check-ups at health centers.Realiza said they continue to conduct health education for parents in Lapu-Lapu to properly take care of their children and ensure they receive ample nutrition.Expected to riseIn the past week, three cities in the Philippines -- Quezon, Pasig, and Iloilo -- have declared an outbreak of pertussis.Quezon and Pasig recorded almost 50 cases and six deaths, while Iloilo reported 15 cases with eight suspected cases. Department of Health (DOH) Undersecretary Eric Tayag said many areas in the country are on high alert due to the spread of pertussis, especially among children. The DOH expects the number of cases to continue to rise. Within the first 10 weeks of 2024, 453 Filipinos across the country were diagnosed with pertussis.The National Capital Region reported the highest number of cases with 38, followed by Calabarzon and Central Visayas. So far, 35 people have died due to this infection, said the DOH. (HIC) What is needed to play online games? Philippines PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has signed an order prohibiting government officials and personnel from using sirens, blinkers, and other similar flashing devices on their vehicles. Signed on March 25, 2024, by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on behalf of the President, Administrative Order (AO) 18 aims to create a safer and more organized traffic environment. A copy of the order is posted on the Presidential Communications Office's Facebook page on Thursday, April 11. The President's order comes after reports of widespread misuse of sirens and flashing lights by unauthorized government vehicles, causing traffic disruptions.It cites Presidential Decree 96, issued by Marcos' father and namesake in 1973. The martial law-era decree limits the "use or attachment of any siren, bell, hon, whistle or similar gadgets that produce exceptionally loud or startling sound, including dome lights, blinkers, and other similar signaling or flashing devices to any motor vehicle" to official use by the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine National Police, National Bureau of Investigation, and fire trucks and hospital ambulances.ProhibitionSection 1 of AO 18 states that "all government officials and personnel are hereby prohibited from utilizing sirens, blinkers, and other similar gadgets that produce exceptionally loud or startling sound, including dome lights, blinkers, or other similar signaling or flashing devices.""Unauthorized and improper use of signaling or flashing devices by government officials and employees shall be dealt with in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations," it added. The ban applies to all government officials and personnel; however, the use of sirens and flashing lights of authorized vehicles is limited to emergencies.The President tasked the Department of Transportation with reviewing existing policies to ensure the effective implementation of the order. The directive takes effect immediately upon publication.Noynoy's 'no wang-wang' policyA similar policy was implemented during the administration of former President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III from 2010 to 2016. Aquino III issued a no wang-wang policy, strengthening the implementation of PD 96.Despite being allowed to use sirens and blinkers on his convoy, Aquino did not use them. He also forbade his aides and the Presidential Security Group from using sirens and blinkers whenever they would be on the move. He ordered the same for his cabinet and the rest of his staff.It remains to be seen if President Marcos' convoy will use sirens and blinkers. His delegation left the country at 2:56 p.m. on Wednesday to take part in the first-ever trilateral meeting between the Philippines, the US, and Japan. He is set to arrive in Washington, DC, around 8 p.m. on Thursday (US time).Chavit Singson's convoyLast Monday, April 8, national media reported that a convoy of former Ilocos Sur governor Chavit Singson received two violation tickets after traffic enforcers from the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority caught his convoy passing through the Edsa bus lane.The politician-turned-businessman was in the backseat of his bulletproof vehicle when his convoy was flagged down.Singson's convoy, however, was reportedly not cited for using blinkers.He issued an apology after the incident, saying he was in a rush for a television interview.

He can be a good mayor... I will be his vice mayor,” Osmeña said.He said Archival would not be a good candidate, but he could be a good mayor.He noted that the approach should be what is good for Cebu City by looking at the obstacles that prevent the city from moving further.Given the fact that Archival could be a good mayor, Osmeña said he would make him a good candidate.Osmeña was mayor of Cebu City from 1989 to 1995, 2001 to 2010, and from 2016 to 2019.In the 2016 elections that Osmeña won, Archival was his running mate.

We have Archival,” Osmeña said.Osmeña remarked that Archival would not be a simple opponent, saying that Archival has always been a first councilor in the north district, meaning earning the highest number of votes.No problemIn a phone interview on Thursday, Archival said he had no problem running for mayor; however, the concern he had raised to Osmeña was on the finances for the campaign.Archival said he had asked Osmeña for more time to make a decision, saying that being a mayor is a “big job.”Regarding Mayor Rama’s offer to include Archival as part of his lineup of councilors for the 2025 midterm elections, Archival said he informed Rama that he would first consult with Bando Osmeña-Pundok Kauswagan (BOPK), with which he is politically affiliated.Asked about the projects he would prioritize if he became mayor, Archival said he would prioritize the basic needs of the constituents.He added that business and environmental concerns should also be addressed together, striking a balance between the two.As he awaits the filing of candidacy, Archival said he is currently consulting with residents and his family.BetterAsked what makes him a better candidate than the others, Archival said as both public and private person he is different from the others.As a public official, Archival said he is doing everything he can for the city despite not having a committee, which includes donating his whole salary as councilor of about P120,000 to P125,000 per month for scholarship programs.He added that his advocacy for the environment would also make the difference, saying that it is the main source of life. Without it, life will be more miserable.He is pushing for what he called “smart production” for food security, according to Archival.He said he already made a foundation two years ago that would assist the city in responding to cases of fire and other emergencies.Lastly, he works in a proactive direction, anticipating potential problems before they happen.Rama, Garcia reactWhen asked about Osmeña’s support for Archival’s candidacy during Cebu City Hall’s online program on Thursday, Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama said he would let them file their candidacy first, noting that anyone is a worthy opponent, even if it is Osmeña’s dog.Rama said he had set a deadline for Archival to make his decision regarding joining his lineup. The deadline was Feb. 24.“No more na,” Rama said, meaning Archival will no longer be included in his lineup.Earlier this month, Rama and Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia announced that they would run for reelection as a tandem in the 2025 midterm elections. Rama also unveiled the legislators in their lineup, which included Archival for the north district.Asked to comment on Osmeña’s candidacy for vice mayor, Garcia said anyone can run for any elected position in a democratic country.Garcia described Osmeña as a “legend” in the political arena, which makes him entitled to run.Garcia noted that if Osmeña pursues his plan, he could be a “worthy” and “formidable” opponent.Yet, Garcia emphasized that ultimately, it would be up to the people of Cebu City to decide.Potential rivalsRuiz announced his run for mayor last January, while Cebu City Hall reported that Daluz would run for mayor with former councilor and now Basak Pardo Barangay Captain David “Dave” Tumulak as his running mate.Daluz and Tumulak, however, told SunStar Cebu that they had yet to make a final decision on running.Tumulak ran unsuccessfully for mayor in the 2022 elections.

He can be a good mayor... I will be his vice mayor,” Osmeña said.He said Archival would not be a good candidate, but he could be a good mayor.He noted that the approach should be what is good for Cebu City by looking at the obstacles that prevent the city from moving further.Given the fact that Archival could be a good mayor, Osmeña said he would make him a good candidate.Osmeña was mayor of Cebu City from 1989 to 1995, 2001 to 2010, and from 2016 to 2019.In the 2016 elections that Osmeña won, Archival was his running mate.

The deadline was Feb. 24.“No more na,” Rama said, meaning Archival will no longer be included in his lineup.Earlier this month, Rama and Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia announced that they would run for reelection as a tandem in the 2025 midterm elections. Rama also unveiled the legislators in their lineup, which included Archival for the north district.Asked to comment on Osmeña’s candidacy for vice mayor, Garcia said anyone can run for any elected position in a democratic country.Garcia described Osmeña as a “legend” in the political arena, which makes him entitled to run.Garcia noted that if Osmeña pursues his plan, he could be a “worthy” and “formidable” opponent.Yet, Garcia emphasized that ultimately, it would be up to the people of Cebu City to decide.Potential rivalsRuiz announced his run for mayor last January, while Cebu City Hall reported that Daluz would run for mayor with former councilor and now Basak Pardo Barangay Captain David “Dave” Tumulak as his running mate.Daluz and Tumulak, however, told SunStar Cebu that they had yet to make a final decision on running.Tumulak ran unsuccessfully for mayor in the 2022 elections.
