I’m not telling DND how to do their jobs but, shouldn’t they be focusing on enforcing our rights in the Philippine Sea? It’s their mandate to protect the country from outside threats and inside threats. But this is just weird. Fighting UP students and teachers? On Social media? Like an old person? Saving the students from being recruited? The University develops great minds into greater minds, not mediocre minds into less mediocre. If a student got recruited by the rebels... by all means deal with them your way. Those easily manipulated students were destined to be printed as casualties in the newspapers anyways. Anong klaseng matalino ang galing sa hirap at pupunta pa din sa bundok para maghirap? Sinisira lang ng mga yan ang reputation ng UP. Ako galing sa mahirap, papunta sa parlor para magpaganda... to manipulate men, so that they may burn bright! Please click the heart —>3 points

I wonder why the admissions are questionable? Didn't they pass the UPCAT? What makes middle class or low income more deserving of a spot in UP? Everybody is treated equally. Their minds evaluated regardless of social status and financial standing. So if someone rich passed the UPCAT, then he/she deserves to be an isko/iska. If someone from the middle class or low income sector passed UPCAT, then they are also deserving. No bias. No prejudice. Just a community of young minds. I came from a middle class family and mingled with those from the rich ones. Our professors graded us based on performance and not by how much our families are worth. Also, yes the Filipino people paid for our tuition.. not the government as they seem to always forget. And like other universities, the youths are enriching their minds not only academically but socially and politically. The youth, not just those from UP, are voicing out injustices. They fight for freedom. Freedom from oppression. Freedom from corruption. They ask for good governance. Again, not just UP youth. Lastly, out of hundreds of thousands of students, how many ended up an NPA? This isn't about protecting the youth. This is now about silencing critics.2 points

Internet trolls hate UP. Why? Is it just because they need a target of their hates? Is it social polarity? Did they not pass the UPCAT? Do these trolls even pay taxes which they claim are used to pay for tuitions? UP has produced a lot of good citizens that are the backbone of this country. The latest issue is the UP-DND Accord. Where are the big names who are products of UP? Cayetano? Pangilinan? Villar? Aquino? Gordon? Bondoc? (list cut short for brevity) What can they do about this? Help?1 point

Incompetence. In this age of information, publishing wrong information online is equivalent to throwing a grenade to a wrong place. I flip math test papers upside down and let my kids solve it. I tell them if you can't solve it upside down then you won't be able to solve it in a spaceship on the way to Mars. Can you see how far away the people in charge of posting the information is compared to my kids? There is just no words to describe the level of incompetence of these kind of people. I will stop now, my face has turned red from face palming myself. We sincerely apologize for those who were inadvertently affected by inconsistencies regarding the List of Students who joined the NPA (Died or Captured) that was posted in the AFP Information Exchange Facebook account. That article has since been immediately taken down or deleted from our social media accounts. The Office of the J7, AFP is already conducting an internal investigation as to how the list got published. Personnel who are responsible will be held to account. We want to assure the public that we are now reviewing our processes and procedures to ensure that similar incident will not happen again in the future. The Office of J7, AFP remains committed to providing and disseminating information on social media platforms that will contribute to a better Philippines for all.1 point

IN SINGAPORE - 60,000 have received first dose of Covid-19 vaccine Singapore's Covid-19 vaccine programme will kick into high gear in the coming weeks, with more than 60,000 people having received their first doses of the jab, said Health Minister Gan Kim Yong. While delays are expected for vaccine shipments due to supply issues, the Government is monitoring the situation closely to ensure there are enough jabs for all Singaporeans and long-term residents by the third quarter of this year. Healthcare assistants from Ren Ci @ Bukit Batok Street 52 Nursing Home receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine on Jan 11. The Health Ministry said there will be some delays in shipments of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine because of upgrading works at Pfizer's manufacturing plant in Belgium. ST PHOTO: GAVIN FOO Mr Gan, co-chair of the multi-ministerial task force tackling the pandemic, said at a media briefing yesterday that about 10,000 individuals received their vaccine doses on Wednesday, and more will be doing so soon. "These numbers are expected to rise substantially in the coming weeks, as we continue to ramp up our vaccination capacity and operations while maintaining the highest standards of safety," he added. In a statement, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said 39 staff at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases have already received their second dose of the vaccine. This means that they have completed the full vaccination regimen, and will have built up maximum protection in two weeks' time. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine - the only one approved here to date - requires two injections, given 21 days apart. MOH said there will be some delays in the shipments of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine because of upgrading works at Pfizer's manufacturing plant in Belgium. Mr Gan said one particular shipment has been delayed, but is still scheduled to arrive in time for the vaccination programme. But he added that disruptions from time to time should be expected, due to uncertainties that remain surrounding the global vaccine roll-out. He pointed out that manufacturers might divert some of their supplies to other areas that may need vaccines more urgently due to huge outbreaks. Vaccine production and logistics arrangements could also be interrupted, he noted. Singaporeans should thus not wait to get vaccinated and do so as soon as they are given the chance. "When your turn comes for the vaccination, please do make an appointment early, because there will always be a possibility of a disruption as we go along, as we move forward," he said. MAJORITY OF SIDE EFFECTS VERY MILD Many of these symptoms in fact reflect the body's immune system responding to the vaccine dose that has been injected in them, and there will be some that may have more serious side effects which include allergic reactions of a variety of different grades of severity. ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR KENNETH MAK, MINISTRY OF HEALTH'S DIRECTOR OF MEDICAL SERVICES. HE NOTED THAT, IN GENERAL, THE MAJORITY OF SIDE EFFECTS HAVE BEEN VERY MILD AND THEY INCLUDE PAIN, REDNESS, SWELLING, SORENESS OF THE MUSCLES, AS WELL AS FATIGUE AND FEVER. Singapore is expecting more Covid-19 vaccine deliveries in the next few months, including from American biotechnology firm Moderna and China's Sinovac. Asked for an update on the review of these vaccines, MOH's director of medical services Kenneth Mak said a decision is expected soon on one of the vaccines under evaluation, which he did not name. "The other vaccine, I understand we are still clarifying further details with the company that produces the vaccine," he added. "We are hopeful that if we are able to get all the information necessary for evaluation, then HSA (Health Sciences Authority) can complete its review process and then give approval for the other vaccines as well." Asked about the side effects experienced by those who have been vaccinated here, Prof Mak said the Government has received some reports of "adverse effects" as they arise. It is currently compiling reports on these and submitting them to its vaccine expert panel for review and recommendations. In general, the majority of side effects reported in various countries that have launched vaccination programmes have been very mild, he said. These include pain, redness, swelling, soreness of the muscles, as well as fatigue and fever. "Many of these symptoms in fact reflect the body's immune system responding to the vaccine dose that has been injected in them, and there will be some that may have more serious side effects which include allergic reactions of a variety of different grades of severity." The authorities are still compiling and organising the data, and will give an update when ready, Prof Mak added. On vaccine passports - proof of vaccination usually for travel purposes - Education Minister Lawrence Wong said Singapore is still studying the matter. For example, the Government will consider reducing the quarantine requirement if it is proven that those inoculated are immune and cannot transmit Covid-19 to others. This would apply to foreign visitors and returning Singaporeans who have received their jabs. "But these are still early days. We are still studying the data and the evidence very carefully before we make any decisions on this matter," Mr Wong said.

I will pick the brand that will be given free by the Japanese government. It will be free here to all Filipino OWFs. When the pandemic started the Japanese gave EVERYONE 100,000 Yen. Regardless if they were Japanese or Filipinos (or any nationality). The only requirement was you had to be registered with the city.1 point

AstraZeneca is a British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the development and commercialization of prescription medicine. Their medicines are targeted for the treatment of cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory, inflammation, autoimmune, oncology, infection, and neuroscience diseases. AstraZeneca collaborated with the University of Oxford to create a COVID-19 vaccine. How their vaccine works: Like Russia’s Sputnik V, AstraZeneca’s vaccines use a genetically altered virus called adenovirus. This virus, which is not harmful to recipients, will carry spike protein (like the “crowns” in coronavirus). Injecting this, in theory, will help the immune system to recognize and attack coronavirus. AstraZeneca’s vaccine requires a regular fridge temperature for storage. Status development: AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford announced on December 8 that it finished the Phase 3 interim analysis for the vaccine. The researchers noted that the efficacy rate for two doses – with the first dose at half strength – reached 90 percent. While a combination of two full-strength doses only resulted in 62 percent efficacy. Issues and concerns: Scientists questioned the vaccine efficacy rate after the reported error in dosage. In a report published by the New York Times on November 25, experts inquired how the combination of half dosage for the first shot and full dosage for the second shot resulted in a 90 percent efficacy rate.1 point

COVAX Facility, also known as the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Acces Facility, is a global mechanism designed to guarantee rapid, fair, and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines worldwide. It is co-led by Gavi, an international organization created to improve access to new and underused vaccines, along with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and the World Health Organization. The Philippines joined COVAX Facility in July. How does COVAX Facility work? “The COVAX Facility will make investments across a broad portfolio of promising vaccine candidates (including those being supported by CEPI) to make sure at-risk investment in manufacturing happens now,” Gavi explained. Since it follows a pooling process, COVAX can ensure rapid access to vaccines. Status about COVID-19 vaccine: According to the Philippines’ vaccine czar Galvez, about 80 percent of the vaccines in the global market were already taken by rich countries. The COVAX Facility, on the other hand, was able to acquire 2 percent. This means that the country is “fighting” to secure the other 18 percent of the vaccine supply.1 point

Sinovac is a Beijing-based biopharmaceutical company founded in 2001. Their focus is on the research, development, and manufacture of vaccines against infectious diseases such as H1N1 influenza and COVID-19. How their vaccine works: Unlike Moderna, which uses RNA in its vaccines, Sinovac’s CoronaVac relies on inactivated pathogens that are grown and killed in laboratories. Similar to the inactivated vaccines used for polio, this vaccine uses the killed viruses to produce antigens which signal the immune system to attack the virus causing COVID-19. CoronaVac can be stored in a standard refrigerator at 2-8 degrees Celsius. Status development: In October, Sinovac submitted its application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the Philippines to conduct Phase 3 clinical trials for CoronaVac in the country. COVID-19 policy chief implementer and vaccine czar Carlito Galvez, Jr. earlier said that the vaccine may be the first to be rolled out in the country, probably by the first quarter of 2021. Sinovac has yet to report the efficacy rate of CoronaVac. Issues and concerns: Sinovac has been recently reported to be involved in a bribery scandal. However, the company cleared out its CEO, Yin Weidong, of the accusations. Roll-out: According to Galvez, they are already finalizing negotiations with Sinovac. He said the pharmaceutical firm vowed to supply vaccines in the country by April 2021. However, Galvez negotiated to get it by March.1 point
