THE Department of Health (DOH) has urged parents to have their children vaccinated, as it expressed concern over the increase in the number of deaths due to vaccine-preventable diseases, particularly pertussis or whooping cough and measles.In a statement, Health Secretary Ted Herbosa said vaccines to prevent these pertussis and measles are free of charge if availed in local health centers. The DOH said 453 cases of pertussis were recorded in the first 10 weeks of 2024, 1,870 percent higher than the 23 cases during the same period in 2023. Only 52 cases of the disease were recorded in 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic, 27 in 2020, seven in 2021 and two in 2022.The Quezon City local government earlier declared a pertussis outbreak with 23 cases reported as of March 20, in which four patients died.In 2023, there were only a total of 27 pertussis cases in the city. Pertussis is a highly contagious bacterial respiratory infection that causes influenza-like symptoms like mild fever, cough and colds.“Ang Pertussis o Whooping Cough ay nagdudulot ng matinis at ipit na paghinga matapos ang pag-ubo. Ang bata ay maaaring makaranas ng apnea o pagtigil sa paghinga, pagkahirap sa paghinga, at pagsusuka,” the DOH said.(Pertussis or Whooping Cough causes wheezing after coughing. The child may experience apnea or cessation of breathing, difficulty breathing, and vomiting.)A person with pertussis can infect 18 more individuals, including children. Immunization against pertussis can prevent respiratory complications.The DOH said the routine immunization particularly of children was disrupted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This includes immunization against pentavalent diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, haemophilus influenzae type B, and measles, mumps and rubella which are all free of charge in local health centers. As of 2024, a total of 569 cases of rubella and measles were recorded in the country. The DOH cases of these diseases increases in all regions except in Bicol and Central Visayas. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) What are the 6 FIFA Confederations? Philippines THE Philippines and Australia inked on Thursday, February 29, 2024, three agreements that are seen to enhance the two countries’ information sharing, capability building, and interoperability in various issues.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the agreements cover the maritime domain and maritime environment, cyber and critical technology, and the effective implementation of the respective competition laws and policies of the two countries.“The three agreements add to the more than 120 agreements that our two countries have signed through the decades. And these are in various fields, including defense cooperation, air services, education, research, scientific and cultural cooperation, amongst others,” he said.Marcos said the agreement on maritime domain is aimed to enhance the cooperation between the Philippines and Australia in order to strengthen the civil military cooperation, promote international law and rules-based international order, safeguard the marine environment and cultural heritage, enhance defense engagements, and establish avenues for dialogue among relevant agencies.As he addressed the Australia Parliament, Marcos highlighted the need for Australia and the Philippines to join forces along with their allies against threats to the rule of law, to stability and peace in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as to reinforce each other’s strength and continue to protect peace and oppose actions that violates international laws.Australia is one of the only two partners with which the Philippines has a Visiting Forces Agreement.“We have long known that our prosperity and development are anchored on the peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific. Today, that peace, that stability, and our continued success, have come under threat,” said Marcos.“Once again, we must come together as partners to face the common challenges confronting the region. Not one single country can do this by itself. No single force alone can counter them by themselves,” he added.Marcos reiterated that the Philippine government will not waver in its resolve not to allow any foreign power to take even a single square inch of the Philippine sovereignty amid prevailing issues in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), which he earlier described as worrisome.“I shall never tire of repeating the declaration that I made from the first day that I took office: I will not allow any attempt by any foreign power to take even one square inch of our sovereign territory,” he said.“The challenges that we face may be formidable, but equally formidable is our resolve. We will not yield. Then as now, the security and continued prosperity of the region -- of countries like Australia -- relies upon that effort. Just as we fought to build our rules-based international order, so are we now fighting to protect it,” he said.He maintained, though, that the Philippines has an abiding interest in keeping its seas free and open, and in ensuring unimpeded passage and freedom of navigation as he noted the importance of upholding, preservation and defending the unified and universal character of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as the constitution of the oceans.In a joint press conference after a meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Marcos said the two countries discussed ways to amplify their joint maritime activities, as they both acknowledge the ties between Australia and the Philippines particularly on defense, maritime cooperation, non-traditional security concerns, trade and investment, development cooperation, multilateral collaboration and people-to-people linkages.“Defense and security remain a key area of cooperation between the Philippines and of Australia. We look forward to amplifying our joint activities and the capacity-building efforts in this regard,” said Marcos.In terms of cyber and critical technology, Marcos said the Philippines is looking forward to sharing information and best practices with Australia, including the conduct of capacity building, promoting a secured digital economy, and achieving greater understanding of the application of international law norms in cyberspace.The cooperation on effective implementation of the respective competition laws and policies of the Philippines and Australia is one of the practical ways of the two countries to strengthen economic relations through the sharing of best practices and the conduct of capacity building on matters involving merger regulations, competition laws, and investigative techniques relevant to implementing competition laws.Marcos and Albanese also discussed greater bilateral economic cooperation, which will allow both the Philippines and Australia to withstand shocks, to be resilient against economic coercion, and to provide an enabling environment for businesses and labor markets.He added that they both look forward to more robust people-to-people ties to drive greater cooperation between the two countries and its peoples.“The significant Filipino diaspora, the fifth largest immigrant community here in Australia, has contributed significantly to the economic and cultural wellbeing not only of our country, but yours as well,” the President said.“It is also an undeniable indicator of Australia’s openness to embrace a globalized and interconnected world. Both the Philippines and Australia welcome future consultations and dialogues as we explore and map the uncharted waters that can bring in new opportunities for a closer and stronger relationship between our two countries,” he added.

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) How to Choose the Best Online Casino in the Philippines THE Cebu Provincial Government has asked for justification from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) on the change in the alignment of the Metro Cebu Expressway (MCE) project Segments 1, 2 and 3B after it was discovered that the road will now traverse more urbanized barangays from the City of Naga to Danao City.During the second meeting she called this year on the issue Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024, Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia asked the DPWH to explain why there was no proper coordination regarding the realignment of the MCE project.During the meeting, more violations were also uncovered by the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) 7 and the Cebu Provincial Government in the construction of Segment 3A of the MCE project that posed safety hazards to motorists and residents of Barangay Cantao-an in Naga City.During the first meeting last Feb. 7 at the Capitol, the Provincial Government ordered the halting of all civil works of the MCE project, saying that an environmental and safety study had to be conducted due to the risks and hazards posed by the recent landslide that occurred in barangays Inayagan and Cantao-an, Naga City back in October 2023.MCE is a 56.9-kilometer highway that was intended to cut through the mountain ranges of Cebu, providing alternative routes to the cities of Naga in the south and Danao City as a north-south backbone highway, according to the DPWH 7.In Thursday’s meeting, Garcia was also informed that MCE’s Segments 1, 2 and 3B are proposed to be funded through a public-private partnership (PPP) to create a toll expressway.The DPWH PPP service department told the governor during the meeting that they are now undertaking a procurement process for the conduct of a feasibility study on whether the abovementioned segments are suitable for PPP.However, when the governor asked regarding the realignment of the project, the DPWH PPP service said this was the result of an earlier feasibility study conducted in 2015.Garcia expressed concerns that the 45 barangays from Naga City to Danao City that will be affected by the project would no longer have access to the expressway if it would become an exclusive road network for paying motorists.The realignment has also resulted in more challenges in road right of way (RROW) acquisition, requiring more funding and may result in further delays due to opposition of the affected areas, Garcia said.Infrastructure projects will have to be built to augment the project in terms of accessibility for the residents of the affected barangays, the governor added.Barangay captains present at the meeting agreed with the governor and said the DPWH had failed to coordinate with them on the project’s realignment. They added that they were informed of the realignment only recently, as the expressway will now traverse the populous areas of their barangays, particularly in the lowlands, instead of the mountainside with fewer houses as presented in the original plan.Garcia added that the proposed toll expressway will also be put side by side or parallel to a national highway.She asked for a third meeting on March 15 to iron out the identified problems of the project.ViolationsGarcia told the DPWH 7 during Thursday’s meeting that the Provincial Government will not lift its cease and desist order (CDO) against the project if there is no solution to the safety and hazard concerns that arose in the MCE’s Segment 3A that suffered a landslide in October 2023. Garcia said they had discovered another violation of the DPWH 7 and its contractor as they had not applied for a quarry permit in the excavation of the soil where the expressway was located. The EMB 7 also discovered several violations aside from the lack of the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) or Certification of Non-Compliance (CNC) submitted by the DPWH 7 for the abovementioned portion. An ECC is a document issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources that certifies that a proposed project has been reviewed and found to comply with environmental laws and regulations and that all management plans are in place. During the meeting, DPWH 7 Director Ernesto Gregorio Jr. said Segment 3A has a six-lane road with a length of 4.2 kilometers that cost around P1.9 billion; however, the affected area of the landslide has a length of only 340 meters. Engineer Mary Ann Bueno of EMB 7 said 1.7 kilometers of the total length has no approved ECC or CNC, so the EMB 7 has issued a notice of violation against DPWH 7. Another violation was the blockage of Cantao-an Creek due to a box culvert that was installed to be used as the road on top, which the law prohibits. Garcia added that the CDO will be lifted only if the DPWH 7 addresses the violations it committed according to the EMB 7’s checklist. With all these violations, Garcia emphasized the need for more rigorous study and transparency in informing the public and the local government units about the project’s possible effects, particularly in the areas where the soil quality made it prone to landslides.

We look forward to amplifying our joint activities and the capacity-building efforts in this regard,” said Marcos.In terms of cyber and critical technology, Marcos said the Philippines is looking forward to sharing information and best practices with Australia, including the conduct of capacity building, promoting a secured digital economy, and achieving greater understanding of the application of international law norms in cyberspace.The cooperation on effective implementation of the respective competition laws and policies of the Philippines and Australia is one of the practical ways of the two countries to strengthen economic relations through the sharing of best practices and the conduct of capacity building on matters involving merger regulations, competition laws, and investigative techniques relevant to implementing competition laws.Marcos and Albanese also discussed greater bilateral economic cooperation, which will allow both the Philippines and Australia to withstand shocks, to be resilient against economic coercion, and to provide an enabling environment for businesses and labor markets.He added that they both look forward to more robust people-to-people ties to drive greater cooperation between the two countries and its peoples.“The significant Filipino diaspora, the fifth largest immigrant community here in Australia, has contributed significantly to the economic and cultural wellbeing not only of our country, but yours as well,” the President said.“It is also an undeniable indicator of Australia’s openness to embrace a globalized and interconnected world. Both the Philippines and Australia welcome future consultations and dialogues as we explore and map the uncharted waters that can bring in new opportunities for a closer and stronger relationship between our two countries,” he added. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos THE Cebu Provincial Government has asked for justification from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) on the change in the alignment of the Metro Cebu Expressway (MCE) project Segments 1, 2 and 3B after it was discovered that the road will now traverse more urbanized barangays from the City of Naga to Danao City.During the second meeting she called this year on the issue Thursday, Feb. 22, 2024, Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia asked the DPWH to explain why there was no proper coordination regarding the realignment of the MCE project.During the meeting, more violations were also uncovered by the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) 7 and the Cebu Provincial Government in the construction of Segment 3A of the MCE project that posed safety hazards to motorists and residents of Barangay Cantao-an in Naga City.During the first meeting last Feb. 7 at the Capitol, the Provincial Government ordered the halting of all civil works of the MCE project, saying that an environmental and safety study had to be conducted due to the risks and hazards posed by the recent landslide that occurred in barangays Inayagan and Cantao-an, Naga City back in October 2023.MCE is a 56.9-kilometer highway that was intended to cut through the mountain ranges of Cebu, providing alternative routes to the cities of Naga in the south and Danao City as a north-south backbone highway, according to the DPWH 7.In Thursday’s meeting, Garcia was also informed that MCE’s Segments 1, 2 and 3B are proposed to be funded through a public-private partnership (PPP) to create a toll expressway.The DPWH PPP service department told the governor during the meeting that they are now undertaking a procurement process for the conduct of a feasibility study on whether the abovementioned segments are suitable for PPP.However, when the governor asked regarding the realignment of the project, the DPWH PPP service said this was the result of an earlier feasibility study conducted in 2015.Garcia expressed concerns that the 45 barangays from Naga City to Danao City that will be affected by the project would no longer have access to the expressway if it would become an exclusive road network for paying motorists.The realignment has also resulted in more challenges in road right of way (RROW) acquisition, requiring more funding and may result in further delays due to opposition of the affected areas, Garcia said.Infrastructure projects will have to be built to augment the project in terms of accessibility for the residents of the affected barangays, the governor added.Barangay captains present at the meeting agreed with the governor and said the DPWH had failed to coordinate with them on the project’s realignment. They added that they were informed of the realignment only recently, as the expressway will now traverse the populous areas of their barangays, particularly in the lowlands, instead of the mountainside with fewer houses as presented in the original plan.Garcia added that the proposed toll expressway will also be put side by side or parallel to a national highway.She asked for a third meeting on March 15 to iron out the identified problems of the project.ViolationsGarcia told the DPWH 7 during Thursday’s meeting that the Provincial Government will not lift its cease and desist order (CDO) against the project if there is no solution to the safety and hazard concerns that arose in the MCE’s Segment 3A that suffered a landslide in October 2023. Garcia said they had discovered another violation of the DPWH 7 and its contractor as they had not applied for a quarry permit in the excavation of the soil where the expressway was located. The EMB 7 also discovered several violations aside from the lack of the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) or Certification of Non-Compliance (CNC) submitted by the DPWH 7 for the abovementioned portion. An ECC is a document issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources that certifies that a proposed project has been reviewed and found to comply with environmental laws and regulations and that all management plans are in place. During the meeting, DPWH 7 Director Ernesto Gregorio Jr. said Segment 3A has a six-lane road with a length of 4.2 kilometers that cost around P1.9 billion; however, the affected area of the landslide has a length of only 340 meters. Engineer Mary Ann Bueno of EMB 7 said 1.7 kilometers of the total length has no approved ECC or CNC, so the EMB 7 has issued a notice of violation against DPWH 7. Another violation was the blockage of Cantao-an Creek due to a box culvert that was installed to be used as the road on top, which the law prohibits. Garcia added that the CDO will be lifted only if the DPWH 7 addresses the violations it committed according to the EMB 7’s checklist. With all these violations, Garcia emphasized the need for more rigorous study and transparency in informing the public and the local government units about the project’s possible effects, particularly in the areas where the soil quality made it prone to landslides.

Gambling in the Philippines 2023 – the Latest Trends

THE Philippines and Australia inked on Thursday, February 29, 2024, three agreements that are seen to enhance the two countries’ information sharing, capability building, and interoperability in various issues.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said the agreements cover the maritime domain and maritime environment, cyber and critical technology, and the effective implementation of the respective competition laws and policies of the two countries.“The three agreements add to the more than 120 agreements that our two countries have signed through the decades. And these are in various fields, including defense cooperation, air services, education, research, scientific and cultural cooperation, amongst others,” he said.Marcos said the agreement on maritime domain is aimed to enhance the cooperation between the Philippines and Australia in order to strengthen the civil military cooperation, promote international law and rules-based international order, safeguard the marine environment and cultural heritage, enhance defense engagements, and establish avenues for dialogue among relevant agencies.As he addressed the Australia Parliament, Marcos highlighted the need for Australia and the Philippines to join forces along with their allies against threats to the rule of law, to stability and peace in the Indo-Pacific region, as well as to reinforce each other’s strength and continue to protect peace and oppose actions that violates international laws.Australia is one of the only two partners with which the Philippines has a Visiting Forces Agreement.“We have long known that our prosperity and development are anchored on the peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific. Today, that peace, that stability, and our continued success, have come under threat,” said Marcos.“Once again, we must come together as partners to face the common challenges confronting the region. Not one single country can do this by itself. No single force alone can counter them by themselves,” he added.Marcos reiterated that the Philippine government will not waver in its resolve not to allow any foreign power to take even a single square inch of the Philippine sovereignty amid prevailing issues in the West Philippine Sea (WPS), which he earlier described as worrisome.“I shall never tire of repeating the declaration that I made from the first day that I took office: I will not allow any attempt by any foreign power to take even one square inch of our sovereign territory,” he said.“The challenges that we face may be formidable, but equally formidable is our resolve. We will not yield. Then as now, the security and continued prosperity of the region -- of countries like Australia -- relies upon that effort. Just as we fought to build our rules-based international order, so are we now fighting to protect it,” he said.He maintained, though, that the Philippines has an abiding interest in keeping its seas free and open, and in ensuring unimpeded passage and freedom of navigation as he noted the importance of upholding, preservation and defending the unified and universal character of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as the constitution of the oceans.In a joint press conference after a meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Marcos said the two countries discussed ways to amplify their joint maritime activities, as they both acknowledge the ties between Australia and the Philippines particularly on defense, maritime cooperation, non-traditional security concerns, trade and investment, development cooperation, multilateral collaboration and people-to-people linkages.“Defense and security remain a key area of cooperation between the Philippines and of Australia.
