Malacañang urges public to maintain vigilance in guarding against outbreaks of dengue
espite the fact that dengue cases from January to July this year decreased by over 25% as compared to the same period last year, Malacanang appealed
on Saturday for the public to avoid complacency in dealing with said disease.
In an interview over
government-run dzRB Radyo ng
Bayan, Deputy Spokesperson
Abigail Valte said “We should not
let our guards down in terms of
fighting dengue. Kasi ang
nangyayari po kapag tumataas ang
cases we become diligent and we
become aware of the situation. Pero
‘pag bumababa na nakakalimutan
na po natin ang fight against
dengue.”
Valte said the latest report
from the Department of Health
(DOH) indicated that cases of
dengue from January to July 23 this
year reached 38,876 which is
25.85% lower compared to the
same period last year (52,428) as
outbreaks that hit the country have
now been contained.
While the government with the
cooperation of the public has
succeeded in bringing down the
cases of dengue, Valte noted that
the good work in combating
dengue should be maintained.
“The fight against dengue
must be done all year round, hindi
lang po tag-ulan, kahit po tag-init.
Let’s keep our areas clean. If we
take charge of our own
surroundings, then that goes a long
way para po hindi magkaroon ng
dengue sa ating community,” she
said.
Dengue is a disease
caused by the bite of the Aedes
aegypti mosquito. These
mosquitoes bite during daytime.
The disease is characterized by
headaches, fever, muscle and joint
pains and skin rashes. In extreme
cases, bleeding of the gums and
nose may occur.
Health Secretary Enrique
T. Ona reported on Thursday that
most dengue cases this year came
from the National Capital Region
(9,229), and the rest from Central
Luzon (6,365), the
CALABARZON (5,649),
Ilocos Region (3,432), and
Cagayan Valley (2,737).
In the National capital
Region, Quezon City (2,574) and
Manila (1,040) had the most
number of cases followed by
Caloocan (1,104), Pasig (804), and
Valenzuela (664).
While dengue outbreaks
were also detected in Basco,
Mahatao, Sabtang,Taal, Uyugan,
and Itbayat in Batanes and
Dingalan in Aurora, health
authorities confirmed that said
outbreaks have already been
contained.
Government closely monitoring possible impact of US downgrade to Philippine economy
alacañang made an assurance Saturday that the government will closely monitor the recent credit rating downgrade of the US by Standard
& Poor’s (S&P) so that it could respond to whatever impact it might have on the country’s economy.

Deputy presidential
spokesperson Abigail Valte said in
a radio interview on Saturday over
state-run dzRB
Radyo ng Bayan that it’s
too early to tell the effect of the
downgrade to the Philippines
because it
happened just the other night.
“So what we can say right
now is sigurado po tayo na
nagbabantay na iyong mga
economic managers natin sa naging
downgrade na ito sa US at mapag-
uusapan po iyan in the next few
days,” Valte said.
Aside from assessing and
monitoring the effects of the US
downgrade, Valte said the
government will be taking the
necessary steps to address the
possible effects on the Philippines.
For the first time in
history, Standard & Poor
downgraded the US government’s
credit rating Friday saying the
recent plan worked out to raise the
federal debt ceiling doesn’t
sufficiently address what’s needed
to be done to stabilize the nation’s
longer-term finances.
At the same time, S&P
also said the partisan stalemate in
the US Congress that put the
country on the brink of default did
not bode well for efforts to reduce
the nation’s skyrocketing debt.
With the downgrade, the
US debt will now have a rating of
AA-plus instead of the coveted
AAA, dropping it into the same
category as Japan, Taiwan, China,
Slovenia and Spain.
Aside from a possible
increase in the US borrowing costs
as the government bonds become
more risky, the downgrade is a
major blow to the country’s
reputation.
Palace congratulates Philippine Dragon Boat Team for winning gold in World Championship in Florida
alacañang on Saturday congratulated the Philippine Dragon Boat Team for bringing pride to the country by winning gold in the World
Championships in Tampa, Florida.
“Allow me to extend our
congratulations to our Philippine
Dragon Boat Team. Nag-compete
po sila sa Florida and I understand
they broke the world record to get
the world title,” Deputy
Spokesperson Abigail Valte said.
The Philippine Dragon
Boat Team won gold in the
International Dragon Boat World
Championship in Tampa, Florida.
The team won the 1,000-meter
men's event against Australia and
Hungary.
“Meron pa po silang
several competitions coming up in
the next few days in Florida,” Valte
said during an interview over
government-run radio station dzRB
Radio ng Bayan on Saturday.
“We wish them well. We
wish them good luck and we exhort
our kababayans to support our
Philippine Dragon Boat Team in
the same way that we have
supported our Azkals and all our
other teams,” she added.
The deputy spokesperson
also urged the Filipino people to
continue to support the team,
noting that most of the 12-man
Philippine Dragon Boat Team are
members of the Armed Forces of
the Philippines.

showing sincerity and fast-tracking the ongoing peace talks with the Muslim rebel group. In a press briefing in
Malacanang on Friday, government
chief negotiator Marvic Leonen
said the President met with MILF
Chair Al Haj Murad Ibrahim in
Tokyo for two hours.
He described the informal
meeting between the President and
Murad as “cordial” and an
opportunity for a candid exchange
of views about the frames of the
continuing peace talk and possible
approaches for both sides to take to
achieve lasting peace in Mindanao.
Both parties also agreed to
implement any agreement within
the Aquino administration, Leonen
said.
“The President’s agenda
in Mindanao has been very clear
and he wants all places in the
Philippines to be developed and
that every place in the country to be
out of poverty at the soonest
possible time. The urgency is
because we are truly serious about
the peace process,” Leonen told the
media.
Going to Japan in full
force with members of his cabinet
accompanying him indicated the
government’s sincerity in the peace
negotiations, Leonen added.
“The sincerity, the confidence that
the President is not here to use the
peace agreement for any other
agenda except to do what is just for
the people in Mindanao,” he said
when asked by reporters about the
message that the government
conveyed to the rebel group.
At the same time, Leonen
made an assurance that there was
no “secret deal” forged between the
government and the MILF during
the meeting adding that the
government will not commit the
same mistakes made by the past
administration, particularly the
crafting of the memorandum of
agreement on ancestral domain
(MOA AD).
Leonen noted that,
coincidentally, August 4 was the
same date the Supreme Court
issued a temporary restraining
order against the MOA AD three
years ago.
The government chief
negotiator underscored that based
on current negotiations, the MILF
has abandoned seeking
independence and has been asking
to be recognized as Bangsamoro as
its national identity.
Leonen said it was agreed
by both sides to have the meeting
in Japan prior to the government’s
submission of its own agenda for
the talks last June. The meeting is
the first time that a President meets
with the chair of the MILF since
the negotiations commenced 14
years ago.
The President was
accompanied by the secretaries of
National Defense, Budget and
Management, Finance as well as
the Presidential Adviser on the
Peace Process, the Presidential
spokesperson, National security
adviser and the chair of the
government negotiating panel.
Chair Murad on the other
hand was accompanied to the
meeting by some members of the
Central Committee, the chair and
some members of the MILF’s
Negotiating Panel and some base
commanders.
The Japanese government
ensured the security of the
participants and provided the
necessary
environment for the informal
meeting, Leonen said adding the
meeting took place in the suburbs
of Tokyo.
The President arrived in
Japan at about 6 p.m. of August 4,
Thursday and left to return to
Manila at about 10 a.m. of August
5. The President’s unofficial
meeting took place at about 8:30
p.m., according to Leonen.
The MILF has been
fighting Philippine government for
decades to establish a self-rule
Muslim state in Mindanao.
Privatization of RPN, IBC in the works, says Coloma
he privatization of the broadcast networks the RPN 9 and IBC 13 will happen within the term of President Benigno Aquino III, Presidential
Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio “Sonny” Coloma Jr. said Friday.
During an interview on
Friday over dzIQ Radyo Inquirer,
Coloma said that the government is
committed to privatize RPN 9 and
IBC 13, adding that it is only man-
dated to operate one network--the
People Television 4 (PTV 4).
RPN 9 and IBC 13 were
sequestered after the 1986 EDSA
People Power Revolt, which
toppled the then strongman

Ferdinand Marcos and catapulted
the late President Corazon “Cory”
Aquino.
“Ang patakaran po ng
Aquino administration ay iisa lang
talaga ang tinuturing nating
government network that will be
operated as such but with the new
concept of public service network,”
Coloma said.
“Yung dalawa [RPN 9 and
IBC 13] ay tiyak na mapa-privatize
within the Aquino administration.
In
sequence, gusto ng Pangulo tapusin
muna yung RPN pagkatapos ay
yung IBC,” the secretary added.
Coloma said that the government
only owns 20.8 percent stake of
RPN 9. “Yung 80 percent po ay
nasa pribadong kamay na, 34
percent nito ay hawak nung Solar
group,” the secretary added.
He said that the
privatization management office of
the Department of Finance is now
working out the sale of the
government’s share in the
sequestered television networks
RPN 9 and IBC 13.
“Na-forward na po namin
sa kanila yung mga rekomendasyon
hinggil dito at sinasagawa po nila
yung mga nararapat tulad ng
pagsasagawa ng audit ng
Commission on Audit at yung
pagsusumite ng mga libro,” he
added.
Meanwhile, Coloma said that his
department is set to submit their
proposed amendments to the
charter of NBN 4. He said NBN 4
was only allowed to get
“commercial revenues” during the
first 10 years since its charter was
signed in 1992.
“So hanggang 2002 ay
nangalap po siya ng commercial
revenues. Simula po noon
hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay hindi
na maari. Ang pwede lang gawin
ay mangalap ng institutional
revenues katulad ng Pagcor at
PCSO,” he said.
“Meron nga po kaming
isusumiting proposed amendments
to the PTV law at sana kung ito ay
mapapagkasunduan na sa Gabinete
at ma-approve na finally ng
Pangulo maari pong masabay po ito
sa LEDAC,” he added.
