THE Iloilo City Government, through its Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, has officially declared an outbreak of pertussis (whooping cough) during Monday’s emergency meeting, March 25, 2024.The declaration came following the recommendation of the Health and Sanitation Cluster headed by the City Health Office (CHO), which logged 15 cases of pertussis as of March 25, seven of which are confirmed and eight are suspected.Headed by Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas, the council passed two resolutions, one is declaring on outbreak on pertussis and the other one, recommending to the City Council the declaration of a state of calamity due to the disease.The mayor said he will make an urgent request to the City Council, which is expected to hold a special session Tuesday, March 26, for the approval of the declaration.“We need to access funds coming from the calamity fund; we cannot access it unless there is a declaration of the state of calamity,” Treñas said.With the declaration, a proposed budget of P16 million has also been approved during the council meeting for the needed measures and responses against pertussis.A big chunk of the fund will go for the procurement of medicines and vaccines.“If necessary, we will add more funds,” Treñas added.CHO data showed that three of the confirmed cases are from Molo, two from Jaro 1, and one each from Jaro II and Arevalo.According to CHO Assistant Department Head Dr. Roland Jay Fortuna, a total of 26,000 children aged 0 to 59 months old from the districts of Jaro, Molo and Arevalo are projected for vaccination.“If we have an outbreak, we have what we call 'outbreak response immunization', that is why we need additional vaccines. For adults, pregnant women on their third trimester are also high-risk, so we will give them the vaccine also because there’s possibility that they may be a carrier and the baby who is not yet vaccinated will have a big chance to acquire pertussis,” Fortuna said.Meanwhile, the personnel of the Uswag Molecular Laboratory will undergo training for pertussis testing so the City will no longer send specimen to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine.According to the CHO, pertussis, commonly known as whooping or violent cough, is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. In China, it is referred to as the "100-day cough. The incubation period is seven to 10 days.Individuals at high risk for pertussis include those who are younger than 12 months old, in the third trimester of pregnancy, have pre-existing health conditions, or have close contact with high risk.Symptoms include paroxysms of coughing, inspiratory "whooping," post-tussive vomiting, and apnea.It is transmitted through respiratory droplets. Preventive measures include respiratory hygiene, avoiding contact with unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated patients, hand washing with soap and water or alcohol-based sanitizer, and droplet precautions in healthcare facilities.

Philippines HAVING contributed billions of pesos to the economy of Cebu City, the City Council moves to honor the Business Processing Outsourcing (BPO) industry.On Wednesday, March 6, 2024, a public consultation was held at the Doña Eva Macaraeg Macapagal Hall at the City Hall for the proposed “Business Processing Outsourcing (BPO) Industry Day Ordinance of 2023” authored by City Councilor Pancrasio Esparis. In his speech, Esparis said the industry has pulled the city’s economy from faltering during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. He said the industry remained operational through a work-from-home (WFH) setup when the majority of business and commercial establishments were closed. Until today, he said, the industry employs thousands of Cebuanos and continuously contributes to the City’s coffers, therefore it has to be recognized. “Dili na ma-ihap ang mga ekonomikanhon kinabuhi ang nausab tungod sa BPO industry,” Esparis said. (Countless economic lives have been changed because of it.)Under the proposed ordinance, Cebu City will commemorate the celebration of BPO Day on April 1, citing that it was the day when the National Government allowed workers to return to work on-site despite health restrictions due to the pandemic back in 2020. The celebration shall be organized by the Department of Manpower Development and Placement. During the public hearing, Hazel Aguisanda, Concentrix Philippines executive director, said that in her 20 years of stay in Cebu, it was the first time the Cebu City Government recognized their industry. She said Concentrix employs around 10,000 employees in Cebu alone. She said the recognition will open up more collaborative initiatives between the industry and the City Government, including adjacent towns and cities, to contribute more to the growing economy of Cebu. “We are privileged and grateful for the formal recognition that the council has afforded. So look forward to more productive years,” Aguisanda said. However, Cebu Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) Organization vice president Darwin John Moises suggested celebrating BPO Day on March 28 instead, which was the first day the lockdown, or the enhanced community quarantine, was implemented.On that day, the industry shifted to a WFH setup that allowed its workers to continue their operations, he said.He also suggested naming the celebration as the IT-BPM Day.He said the industry has evolved to various services and processes, aside from the usual call or contact centers at the Cebu IT Park in Barangay Apas, Cebu City. “Just for the numbers, there are over 300 companies already in the IT-BPM space, employing around 200,000 people, and if we are to include in the measure for indirect employment that is about 550,000 people,” Moises said. The proposed ordinance has not yet passed its third and final reading to become an official ordinance. The Information Technology and Business Process Association of the Philippines, the trade body and advocacy group for the IT-BPM industry, emphasized the importance of continued investment in various areas to achieve the country’s target of 2.5 million full-time workers and US$59 billion in revenue by 2028. These investments must be made in real estate, infrastructure, reliable network connectivity and stable baseload power supply. Stakeholders also advocate for increased investments in road, rail and air connectivity to facilitate seamless logistics operations. With an increasing number of businesses adopting hybrid work models, the roadmap emphasizes the importance of reliable and affordable network connectivity in residential areas. / EHP

And, we aspired to improve these relations to increase communication between the private sector in both the countries,” he added. (TPM/SunStar Philippines)

Gambling in the Philippines 2023 – the Latest Trends

HAVING contributed billions of pesos to the economy of Cebu City, the City Council moves to honor the Business Processing Outsourcing (BPO) industry.On Wednesday, March 6, 2024, a public consultation was held at the Doña Eva Macaraeg Macapagal Hall at the City Hall for the proposed “Business Processing Outsourcing (BPO) Industry Day Ordinance of 2023” authored by City Councilor Pancrasio Esparis. In his speech, Esparis said the industry has pulled the city’s economy from faltering during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. He said the industry remained operational through a work-from-home (WFH) setup when the majority of business and commercial establishments were closed. Until today, he said, the industry employs thousands of Cebuanos and continuously contributes to the City’s coffers, therefore it has to be recognized. “Dili na ma-ihap ang mga ekonomikanhon kinabuhi ang nausab tungod sa BPO industry,” Esparis said. (Countless economic lives have been changed because of it.)Under the proposed ordinance, Cebu City will commemorate the celebration of BPO Day on April 1, citing that it was the day when the National Government allowed workers to return to work on-site despite health restrictions due to the pandemic back in 2020. The celebration shall be organized by the Department of Manpower Development and Placement. During the public hearing, Hazel Aguisanda, Concentrix Philippines executive director, said that in her 20 years of stay in Cebu, it was the first time the Cebu City Government recognized their industry. She said Concentrix employs around 10,000 employees in Cebu alone. She said the recognition will open up more collaborative initiatives between the industry and the City Government, including adjacent towns and cities, to contribute more to the growing economy of Cebu. “We are privileged and grateful for the formal recognition that the council has afforded. So look forward to more productive years,” Aguisanda said. However, Cebu Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) Organization vice president Darwin John Moises suggested celebrating BPO Day on March 28 instead, which was the first day the lockdown, or the enhanced community quarantine, was implemented.On that day, the industry shifted to a WFH setup that allowed its workers to continue their operations, he said.He also suggested naming the celebration as the IT-BPM Day.He said the industry has evolved to various services and processes, aside from the usual call or contact centers at the Cebu IT Park in Barangay Apas, Cebu City. “Just for the numbers, there are over 300 companies already in the IT-BPM space, employing around 200,000 people, and if we are to include in the measure for indirect employment that is about 550,000 people,” Moises said. The proposed ordinance has not yet passed its third and final reading to become an official ordinance. The Information Technology and Business Process Association of the Philippines, the trade body and advocacy group for the IT-BPM industry, emphasized the importance of continued investment in various areas to achieve the country’s target of 2.5 million full-time workers and US$59 billion in revenue by 2028. These investments must be made in real estate, infrastructure, reliable network connectivity and stable baseload power supply. Stakeholders also advocate for increased investments in road, rail and air connectivity to facilitate seamless logistics operations. With an increasing number of businesses adopting hybrid work models, the roadmap emphasizes the importance of reliable and affordable network connectivity in residential areas. / EHP What is FIFA sport?
