— The Health department denied speculation that it prioritizes VIPs in testing for COVID-19, but admitted it gives “courtesy” to certain officials when it comes to testing for the viral disease.
Senate President Vicente"Tito" Sotto III and Senator Francis Tolentino cleared the air on their use of limited test kits for the novel coronavirus after they received backlash online. After the first test came out negative, he went for a confirmatory test, this time using a kit from the DOH after he began exhibiting dry cough and sore throat. He clarified he is still awaiting test results — stressing he is not given VIP treatment.
"My colds and dry cough had persisted during my self-quarantine period, thus I took the test after my self cough medication appeared insufficient after four days," he said in a Facebook post. The FDA has cautioned the public against the use of unregistered testing kits as the quality and accuracy of the results cannot be guaranteed. It has only approved eight COVID-19 tests for commercial use, but the DOH said the tests still need to be brought to accredited laboratories for processing.
COVID-19 has infected 380 people in the Philippines, with 25 of them dying because of the disease caused by a virus called SARS CoV-2. Seventeen of those infected have recovered.
Same banana. 🙄
talaga ba?! natural di magrereklamo ang staff ng RITM ng harapan sa kagarapalan ng mga govt officials na iprioritize ung sila and the list woh CODES! VIPTesting takot ang taong mawalan ng trabajo! taking advantage of their titles ang ginawa! samantalang madaming ngaantay!
The Prime Minister of Canada didn't even get tested even his wife is positive. Don't feel entitled, the VIPs right now are the frontliners who sacrifice their life, not you!!!
Hay naku Pilipinas napaka reklamador ninyo, dito sa 1st World country, the Front liners including politicians have first priority. Gamitin ang utak kung bakit!!🙄 You don't need to be tested kung mild and symptoms. Just self quarantine for 14 days and you'll be fine!!
It's the same thing.
Ano na DOHgovph nabubulok narin ba sistema nyo? Wag nyo na icover yang mga vips na yan. Nagiging masama lang ung image nyo sa mga mamamayan lalo na ngayon na kaylangan namin kayo.
Officials Why? Sila ba ang nasa field always? Unahin niyo yung LITERAL NA NASA FRONLINE!!! 😤
Semantics...
I see no difference 🤦🏻♀️
Same-same lang yan. Mas subtle lang sa pandinig ang courtesy kaysa sa vip. Ganun pa rin ang aksyon, inuna muna sila.
That's the beauty of the English language..you can find words seemingly different in pronunciation and spelling yet at the end of the day it means the same dmn thing...crap is still crap!!👎🖕🖕
Seriously?! 🤷🏻♀️ i kennot. Harap harapan lang?’ haist 😬
So peralta ang jinggoy is part of public health? Damn you!
LOL!!!!
Sucks to be at the bottom of the totem pole.
ano kaya ang role ni kitty duterte sa national security at public health
That's the same thing... Nag iba lang ang term nyo... 😑
Wag kame! 👁️
Hahaha it's the same thing! Kakatawa nmn to sila oh! We are not idiots! Ginawa pa tayong bobo neto
WAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So VIP nga?
No VIPS, your face, DOHgovph The PUIs, PUMs & generally, symptomaticsare, are bumped off the line by your so-called “courtesy” to the VIPs. Some have died while many are in agony. Remember that!
DOHgovph SecDuque your courtesy system is wicked. So the RITM whistleblower was right! Frontliners' lives are at stake! They're dying without even knowing the results. 'Courtesy' over front liners? Can you really stomach that?
Damn! Why not just APOLOGIZE! As simple as that. Ano pang magagawa ng madla. Tatanggapin naman nila kalaunan. But to keep on telling lies, thats plain ARROGANCE!
Then explain the difference between the two. COURTESY vs VIP.
DOH really thinks we're really that dumb huh.
LMAO SUGARCOAT PA MORE DOH
Hi everyone, We provide loans to individuals, companies, and cooperating institutions, I'm Mrs. Fatima Aisha. I live in Florida am a happy woman today, i will like to thank Lender Cities group of company for his genuine loan offers Contact via: +91582259838 --- +15123729576)
So mas importante ang “COURTESY “ kesa aa mga front liners at mga taong “query infected with covid19”
how about some courtesy to those who died due to the scarcity of test kits
That's a lot of crap!!! Yata for politicians come out in a few days, others take a week! And maybe NOW wala dahil BISTADO na!!! Sinungaling DOH!
Tangina pinagmumukha nyo namang tanga yung mga tao. Pareho lang yan, mga ugok! 🤬
please lang, wag na nating pagtakpan ☹️ sana tayong mga Pilipino eh magtulungan, huwag maggaguhan 😏
Di po kami tanga DOHgovph SecDuque. Above average po ang IQ namin. Synonyms po ang courtesy at VIP.
It still means the same. VIP or courtesy perego lang yan. Why NOT give the courtesy to the PUI and PUM instead. Mahiya naman kayo sa mga taong pinagsisilbihan nyo. Mga walang utang na loob. YOU OWE THE PEOPLE TO DO YOUR JOB AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
Mga ULOL! Nabuking na kayo!
Aside from VIP treatment pa rin yan, so-called officials din ba yung for example, buong angkan ni Jinggoy?
I'm okay with this.
Will you just please stop explaining kasi wala nang maniniwala sa inyo.
Even if they have no signs of covid19? Do not be ignorant
alam natin na uunahin talaga ang mga government officials at rich people.ano pa po ang bago? para naman tayong taga ibang planeta
'courtesy' a fancy word for vip
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Are doctors being tested? NO!! So why give “courtesy” to those who are not exposed nor having any symptoms?! All the lies you feed the public is just disgusting. And you have the audacity to say you stand by the health workers? 🤮🤮🤮
Whats the difference? Again policy is policy. Sana di na gumawa ng policy if di rin mismo sundin. You expect people to follow the govt pero mismo sila di makasunod. 🤬
The mistress of Pres Duterte? His kids? What positions do they occupy? A position of privilege and entitlement?
COURTESY = VIP stop explaining DOH
palusot pa more
Wala namang problema to tag our senate and government officials as VIP for the testing, as long as nakikita naten na they working their butts out! Utang na loob pa nga naten na pumasok sila today! Tsk, tsk, tsk! Serve the People.covid19philippines
Hugas kamay!!
