Infectious disease expert answers important questions about COVID-19: “No virus can defeat us”

By

An infectious disease physician working at the University of the Philippines, Manila answered important questions about the COVID-19 after the government confirmed the local transmission of the virus in the country.

On a Facebook post, Dr. Edsel Maurice Salvana answered five questions related to the COVID 19.

According to Dr. Salvana, the netizens should not assume that there was already a “sustained community transmission” in the country despite the new cases being reported in the Philippines.

He also denied that the Department of Health (DOH) underreported the cases of COVID-19, saying that the agency is updating the public as fast as possible.

Dr. Salvana also explained that it’s normal for any country to miss some cases of COVID-19, citing that even the United States government also has missed.

The expert said that DOH’s daily reporting of new cases means that they’re continuing testing the possible carriers of the virus.

He also said that each COVID-19 test costs the government 5,000-8,000 pesos and some of the kits are still having errors.

The expert said that the best thing that the Filipinos can do is to distance themselves in crowded places and follow the instructions from the government.

You can read his whole post below:

Deeper breath. Four new cases in the Philippines. Let’s dissect what this means for us.

1. Does this mean there is sustained community transmission?
No it doesn’t. Two of the four new patients had travel history, while the other two had contact with a confirmed case. There is still a clear epidemiologic exposure and so hopefully we still have a chance to control with quarantine and contact tracing.

2. Is DOH underreporting cases?
If you look at the timeframe between testing and reporting, it is no more that 24 to 48 hours. DOH is reporting as soon as it can, with some leadtime for contact tracing so that people can quarantine themselves as soon as possible. So there is no underreporting. The more relevant question is are we missing cases.

3. Are we missing cases?
The best surveillance systems in the world miss cases. The US CDC have tracked cases with no travel history after cryptic community transmission over 3 to 6 weeks. There are WHO protocols that we follow. We have two surveillance systems. The first one is the one that identifies PUIs and PUMs based on travel or contact with a known case. A second one, SARI, looks for unexplained pneumonias and clusters of pneumonia in the community. This is how DOH picked up case #5 out of the 10. This was due to the excellent clinical judgement of a private infectious disease physician who decided to test based on SARI priniciples.
The fact that DOH DETECTED the 10 cases means that TESTING IS BEING DONE. More than 700 people have been screened according to established WHO protocols. Due diligence is being observed.

4. But why don’t we test more if we are concerned of missing cases?

Each test costs the government (aka you) 5,000 to 8,000 pesos. Testing is complicated and not many places are capable of doing the test well. Even the CDC in the USA had a major error in their test. Capacity is being expanded. A Filipino kit is being validated. These are all happening as we speak. However we still need to prioritize testing to the most probable because we cannot test everyone at this time.

5. What happens next?
Based on the Chinese experience, the only thing that seems to have a major impact on transmission is social distancing. We do not want to wait until we have a case load as high as Wuhan because even they had a hard time controlling and they have much more resources than we have. We need to think of preemptive social distancing now if we want to have a chance to contain. If this happens. PLEASE follow instructions and understand that a sacrifice is being asked of everyone FOR THE GREATER GOOD. Now is the time to help each other by putting our individual impulses aside and being proactive.

The post of Dr. Salvana already reached 1,700 reactions and 2,200 shares on social media.

As of writing, DOH already reported ten new cases of COVID in the Philippines.

“Drama lang!” A journalist for 43 years says that Kim Chiu’s ambush is only ‘staged’, offers two theories why it was done

By
pinoytrend
-

A journalist for 43 years gave some reasons could prove that the ambush incident involving actress Kim Chiu on March 4 was faked.

On a Youtube video, Manuel Boy Mejorada, who claimed, having extensive experience in covering stories of wrongdoings committed by lawbreakers, said that the first thing that came to his mind is the motive of the people behind the ambush of the actress.

According to him, even the investigators are still not known why the suspects targeted Chiu, who claimed that she doesn’t have any known enemy.

Chiu is also a not controversial actress and even Mejorada described the actress as a “good child”.

“Who gave the order to spray the vehicle of Kim Chiu with bullets?” Mejorada asked.

Mejorada said that the ‘mistaken identity’ angle is unbelievable in his opinion because all riding-in-tandem suspects are known for studying their targets very carefully.

Before they carry out their missions, the riding-in-tandem will conduct surveillance to establish the pattern of their target.

“Mayroon yang tinatawag na casing or surveillance upang mapag aralan yung mga pattern ng kanilang mga target, katulad ng kung anong oras ba sila umaalis ng kanilang bahay? Ano ba ang sasakyan na ginagamit nito?  Ano ba ang ruta nito papunta sa kanyang trabaho? Saan ba pinakamagandang gawin ang ambush, yung lugar na maghihinto o babagal ang sasakyan ng kanilang target?” Mejorada said.

The journalist said that the investigators should stop considering that the Kim Chiu was only mistaken by the suspects are their target.

Mejorada then said that after watching many clips taken in the scene of the ambush, he realized that the suspects don’t have any plan to hurt the actress.

“Walong bala ang pinaputok, kalat sa sasakyan ang tama ng mga bala, hindi po ganun ang pamamaril ng isang suspe.k kung may masama silang balak sa buhay ni Miss Kim Chiu doon dapat sila naka concentrate sa lugar kung saan laging nakaupo si Miss Kim Chiu,” Mejorada said.

He also found other inconsistencies in the story of the ambush.

“Marami pa po akong napuna sa pangyayari na ito, for instance, hindi makita sa mukha ni Miss Kim Chiu yung matinding takot dahil sa insidente, cool na cool, she did not look shocked, hindi po yun normal sa isang tao na muntik ng mawala ang kanyang buhay,” he said.

Mejorada pointed out that even a victim of a simple misdeed is going to feel emotional shock after the incident.

“Kung totoo itong ambush, muntik ka ng mawalan ng buhay, dumiretso pa sa taping si Miss Kim Chiu pagkatapos ng insidente, parang umalis lang sa isang set na may ambush scene,” he said.

The journalist ruled out that the ambush was staged.

“Iba po ang layunin sa paggawa ng pamamaril na ito, halos 100% sure ako na hindi ang buhay ni Miss Kim Chiu ang kanilang hinangad tapusin, mas may malalim sila na motibo,” he said.

He then gave two theories on why the suspects did it to Miss Kim Chiu.

Mejorada suspected that the incident involving Kim Chiu is part of a destabilization plot against the Duterte administration.

“Una, ginawa ito bilang destabilization plot, laban kay Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte,” he said.

“Dahil si Miss Kim Chiu ang kunwaring target, iniisip nila na baka sakaling magalit ang mga tao sa ating Pangulo,” he added.

He also said that it’s also possible that the incident is connected to the franchise issue of ABS-CBN.

“Paraan din ito upang maka angkin ng simpatya sa publiko ang ABS-CBN,” he said.

While some journalists and netizens are insisting that Kim Chiu’s ambush was staged, some supporters of the actress told her critics that they should stop spreading ‘fake news’.

Talent manager Ogie Diaz, one of Chiu’s defender criticized journalist Jay Sonza for claiming that the ambush was faked.

Sunshine Cruz also said that people should not call the ambush as stage just because Kim Chiu and her driver survived the incident without a scratch.

An unnamed teacher writes an open letter to Vice Ganda, telling the comedian that his influence is already giving a bad effect on the younger generation.

The teacher said that Vice Ganda became a bad influence because the people are imitating his style of comedy.

Vice is known for making fun of other people to give laugher to his audience.

According to the teacher, while Vice Ganda is giving entertainment to the people, the consequences of his actions might affect the attitude of the Filipinos in the long term.

The teacher wished that comedians like Vice Ganda should think of more respectful ways of giving laugh to the people.

You can read his whole open letter below:

“Vice, natatakot ako.”

“Natatakot ako bilang isang guro at bilang isang Pilipino.”

“Natatakot ako sa kahihinatnan ng pagpapatuloy ng iyong impluwensiya sa industriya lalo na ang istilo ng iyong pagpapatawa.”

“Batid kong wala akong karapatang manghusga sayo o isisi sayo ito ngunit batid din nating lahat na anlaki ng naging impluwensya mo rito.”

“Bilangin mo kung ilan ang kabataan ngayon ang naimpluwensyahan mong mambara at mang asar ng kapwa.”

“Nakakakilabot. Ngayon ko lang mapagtanto:
SA PANANDALIANG ALIW NA IYONG NAIBIBIGAY AY KAPALIT PALA ANG PANGMATAGALANG PAGBABAGO NG KULTURA AT ASAL NG KABATAANG PILIPINO.”

“Hindi pala siya masaya. Hindi pala siya makatao.”

“Dalangin ko’y ito’y mabago. Hangad namin maibalik ang malinis at may respetong pagpapasaya ng tao. ”

“Isa akong guro at hindi ko na masikmura pa kung ito pa’y magpatuloy”

Some netizens gave their thoughts on the open letter.

Netizens Melvz Samson and Ejay Bulda defended Vice Ganda.

“Naiintindihan ko si teacher sa point nya pero kung ako tatanungin? Yes po may inpluwensya Si Vice , as in malaki talaga . Pero alam nyo po ako kahit walang sumusuportA na magulang? Halos tumayonsa sariling mga paa para mabuhay ang sarile. Kahit ilang beses kong napapanood si Vice . Even tv or social media pa yan since gradeschool palang ako . Hinde ko naman na adopt yung mga joke ni vice eh. Sa totoo lang Nasa Tao lang po yan nasa kanila nalang kung yung biro ni vice is totoohanin ba nila diba.

(Tao lang din po yun si vice hinde perfect so pwede magka mali hehe) Sana ma appriciate nyu din po yung side ni vice na ginagawa nyang katawa tawa yung sarile nya mapatawa nya lang yung iba . Hehe god bless po,”  Samson wrote.

“Nasa bata na yan kong gagayin nila o hindi. Nasa magulang rin at guro kong pano nila ito turuan ng asal,” Bulda commented.

Meanwhile, netizens Thirdy Dyamez and Maria Teresa Feliciano sided with the teacher.

“Pwede naman kasi magpatawa na di na kailangan manlait ng kapwa,” neDyamez remarked.

“Tama lang po ang sinabi nyo hindi po talaga maganda ang mga,salita nya kaya yung mga apo ko d ko pinapanood ng mga labas nya lalong lalo n pag showtime d maganda sa pandinig d dapat tularan,” Feliciano said.

The open letter of the teacher has gone viral after it was posted by netizen Rowena Tanglao Gabinera and received 30,000 shares as of writing.

President Duterte rejects suggestions to suspend POGO because PH need funds to fight COVID-19

By
pinoytrend
-

President Rodrigo Duterte rejected the suggestions of some Senators to suspend or declare the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) as illegal, Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in an interview.

According to Panelo, Duterte decided to continue the operations of POGOs in the country because of the positive report he received from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (POGO).

He also explained that the country needs to get funds to fight the COVID-2019, especially that the Department of Health (DOH) already confirmed the first local transmission of the virus in the country.

“Ang sabi niya (Duterte) sa akin kahapon, maganda yung report ni PAGCOR head. Maganda raw ang report sa kanya. Kailangan talaga natin ng pondo galing diyan. Marami tayong projects na kailangan natin ng pondo. For instance, for the salaries of the nurses, for teachers, marami,” Panelo said.

“In fact, meron na namang tayong problema sa coronavirus. Pwede ring pagkunan yan,” he added.

PAGCOR reported that the country earned P8-B from POGOs and it also gave 19,000 jobs to Filipinos.

Panelo believes that while POGOs are facing controversies, especially that there are some reported money laundering activities committed some Chinese in the country, the presidential spokesperson insisted that the issues could be solved by making “laws and regulations.”

“Yung mga problema diyan sa operations, yan ay magagawan ng paraan,” Panelo said.

The calls to ban POGOs in the country started when Senator Richard Gordon started to probe the alleged illegal activities committed by Chinese nationals in the country.

Even Senator Franklin Drilon said that the revenues being brought by POGO is not enough to justify the problems being brought by the Chinese nationals.

“I am disappointed at the statement of PAGCOR saying [they] are in favor of POGO continuing in our shores because of the income we earn — such a short-ranged statement,” the senator said.

“The social problems they have brought in our country is not worth the regulation fees that you earn,” he added. “Why are we so in love with POGOs?”

 

ABS-CBN actor Piolo Pascual reveals that he was disallowed to endorse PRRD in 2016 elections

ABS-CBN actor Piolo Pascual revealed that he was disallowed by his superiors to endorse President Rodrigo Duterte in the 2016 presidential elections.

In an old interview with Philippine Entertainment Portal, Pascual said that he tried to meet Duterte in Davao during the campaign period several times, but he kept it private because of the rules given to him.

“Every time I would go to Davao, pinipilit kong maka-meet siya and hindi lang ako pinayagang mag-endorse [openly], pero I’ve always been for Digong.” Pascual said.

He only revealed the politician he supported after the election because of the said rules.

According to him, he’s not the only artist who’s not allowed to endorse candidates.

“It’s crucial, e, this election is crucial para sa bayan natin. And I wanna be able to use my influence para at least magamit naman natin ang tamang paraan ng pagkakampanya sa gusto natin.” he said.

“It will define the next six years of the Philippines, economy-wise, and it’s important for us to know who are we gonna vote for,” he added.

The old interview of Pascual has been recirculated on social media amid the ABS-CBN’s franchise issue.

Pascual is one of the celebrities supporting ABS-CBN’s franchise renewal and “praying everything turns out well and ok.”

In an article of getrelpundit.com, the webmaster of the said site asked if ABS-CBN is the one who disallows Pasqual from endorsing Duterte.

“Pascual stopped short of categorically stating that it was ABS-CBN or an agent of it that disallowed him from endorsing Duterte openly.” the author benign0 said.

“This leaves observers to connect the dots on their own — perhaps no-brainer connections, to be fair,” he added.

Some supporters of President Duterte accused ABS-CBN of trying to influence the 2016 elections after they allowed to air an advertisement against the former Davao City Mayor.

However, ABS-CBN insisted that they don’t have any political agenda.

Girl group leader tries to humiliate the man who wouldn’t give up seat on a bus, but the netizens bashed her instead

By

Criticisms are swarming a leader of a girl dancing group on social media after she allegedly tried to humiliate a random passenger on a bus after she failed to get a seat.

On a Facebook post, Sam Francisco Datu posted two selfies showing a sleeping passenger in the background who later identified as Denmark Maranan.

Datu then said on her Facebook post that there’s no gentleman left nowadays, implying that Maranan’s refusal to give her a seat was an act of impoliteness.

“Anong masasabi niyo sa posisyon ko ngayon? Ang saya diba! Sa panahon ngayon wala ng gentleman,” Datu said.

While netizens who are shaming people on social media succeed most of the time, this is not the case for Datu as Maranan fought back to the girl who tried to humiliate him.

On a lengthy Facebook post, Maranan explained that he’s very tired during that time and he needs to experience some comfort by taking a seat on the bus.

“Monday to Saturday gumigising ako ng 4am para pumasok sa work. from pandi Bulacan to Sta. Cruz manila. Ang maaga naming uwi Ng misis ko, swerte na sa 8:30pm kapag minalas malas ka pa Aabutin ka pa Ng 9pm to 10pm kapag traffic. Kahit sa office ako pumapasok iba pa Rin Yung pagod at antok sa araw na araw na byahe ko. Minsan di na ko nakakapasok ng sabado dahil sa pagod,” Maranan said.

“May bahay kami sa Valenzuela pero mas pinipili Kong umuwi Ng Bulacan kahit pagod na pagod Makita ko Lang anak ko kahit tulog na. Kay Ms. Sam Francisco Datu pasensya na Kung di Kita napaupo knina , pagod at puyat Lang po ako . Wala akong galit o sama Ng loob Kung ibash man ako Ng mga nakakakilala sayo. Basta ko kilala naman ako Ng mga taong nakapaligid sakin Kung anong ugaling Tao meron ako. Godbless!” he added.

The post of Maranan reached 40,000 shares on social media while Datu’s post against the former was deleted already.

Netizens couldn’t hide their anger towards Datu.

“Ayan yung mindset ng mga cncer na tao. Mabait kapa nyan. Ramdam kita na nakakapagod ang byahe. Ang mahalaga kilala ka ng kaibigan mo,” netizen Ellezel Pastrana said.

“Feeling entitled naman yan si ate,” netizen Irish Auslestia commented.

“Di porke naka sleeveless at tumutuwad ka pa dyan eh papaupuin ka na. Jusko? Feeling PWD ang peg. Nakakaimbyerna naman yan,” netizen Jolina Jayce remarked.

Meanwhile, Datu posted a live video, explaining her side to the netizens.

She also called the treatment of the netizens to her as “unfair” saying that they should not involve her family in the issue.

“Hindi ko naman siya sinabihan ng mga pangit na salita, tapos yung mga nag comment doon at nakisawsaw, hindi naman sila mapipigilan,” Datu said.

Datu also explained that her post is not meant for Maranan.

“Bakit parang ang daming nagalit, bakit parang… kasi kapag nag po-post ako alam nila, kasi makulit lang talaga ako, hindi ko naman alam na ganon, tapos bigla nga tong nag post itong si kuya [Maranan] na nasa likod ko na in-insist niya na siya yung sinasabihan kung ganon,” Datu said.

“Syempre marami talaga ang magagalit sa akin pero wala na akong magagawa dahil andyan na yan eh, nagalit na sila, pero para sa akin lang ‘wag niyo ng idamay yung mister ko at saka wag niyo ring idadamay yung mga anak ko,” she added.

Datu also explained that she tried to correct her mistakes by blurring the face of Maranan, but it’s already too late.

She also apologized to Maranan, admitting that she’s the “loser” in this issue.

However, she believes that she has the right to put anything she like on her own social media account.

“Kung ayaw niyo ng post ko, wag niyo naman akong sabihan ng maganda dahil wala naman akong ibig sabihin doon para kay kuya, parang si kuya kasi grabe yung post niya,” she said.

This is not the first time that a netizen was criticized on social media after an attempt to shame someone on the internet.

Four years ago, Karla Monique Olandesca faced a tremendous amount of criticism on social media after she posted a photo of the man who didn’t give a seat to her.

 

“Frailties of a policeman?” Cebu town police chief who caught sleeping with detainee insists that his only mistake is falling in love

By
pinoytrend

The chief of Argao police station in Cebu is now facing multiple charges after he caught sleeping with a female inmate in his office.

Major Ildefonso Miranda was caught by the authorities on Friday night and found that he’s sleeping with the 23-year-old detainee, Jean Claudia De Guzman.

They also found several photos of Miranda having sweet moments with De Guzman.

According to the investigators, Miranda even brought De Guzman outside the police station several times and went to other places in Cebu to have a romantic date.

“The girl was even brought here in Cebu City, naga-date pa sila…a very breach of discipline to a police officer,” Police Regional Office-7 Director Albert Ignatius Ferro said.

While the real relationship between Miranda and De Guzman is not yet been proven, the scene they found during the entrapment operation is already evidence against the police chief.

Police Director Roderick Mariano also ordered all police personnel under Cebu Provincial Police Office (CPPO) to be investigated asking why no one reported the activities of Miranda earlier.

“Why is it na nangyari yun na may desk officer tayo, may deputy… bakit nangyari ito na hindi nare-report sa atin,” Mariano asked.

After being caught, Miranda insisted that what he did is not wrong and his only mistake is that he fell in love with the wrong person.

“Hindi ako nahihiya kasi hindi naman ako gumawa ng karumal dumal na kasalanan, ang tanging mali ko lang ay ang magmahal,” he told the Freeman newspaper.

Miranda is going to be replaced by Police Captain Elstone Dabon, Jr. from Mandaue City as the chief of Argao police.

Navotas Mayor asks DepEd to pass all students amid COVID-19 scare: “Para wala ng pasok for the rest of the year!”

By

Navotas Mayor Toby Tiangco urged the Department of Education (DepEd) to give a passing grade to all students in his city amid the COVID-19 scare in the country.

In a radio interview, Tiangco said that he sees no problem in suspending the classes earlier, as there are only two to three weeks left for the current school year.

He argued that an early class suspension is better than risking the health of the student,s especially that the Philippines already confirmed local transmission of COVID-19.

“Ako ay nakiusap sa DepEd na kung puwede ipasa na lang lahat ng mga bata for this school year… para wala nang pasok for the rest of the year… Mas importante naman ho siguro ‘yung buhay ng mga bata kaysa ‘yung ituloy pa nila ‘yung two or three weeks ng pag-aaral,” Tiangco said.

He said that the DepEd could just ignore the performance of the students for the 4th quarter of the current school year and just compute the past quarters they completed to get their general average.

“May general average naman ‘yung mga bata as of this time, so baka naman pwe-pwedeng kung ano ‘yung general average nila, ‘yun na lang ang maging grado nila,” Tiangco stated.

“Ang gusto ho natin is ‘yung maging safe… doon tayo sa mas safe diba po? Alam niyo naiintindihan ko, importante [ang] aral, importante ‘yung grado, sa isang taon meron pa’ng pag-kakataon, eh,” he also said.

Tiangco is one of the first Mayors in the country to suspend the classes after the Department of Health (DOH) confirmed the first local transmission of COVID-19 in PH.

President Rodrigo Duterte also declared public health emergency as per the advice of the experts from the DOH.

DOH also said that they already raised the COD Red Sub-level 1 alert.

However, DOH Sec. Francisco Duque III said that it’s still not recommended for the LGUs to suspend their classes amid COVID-19 scare.

“That’s their own decision but as of today, we are on sub-level 1 of code red and that is not being recommended,” the health secretary said.

 

 

Netizen says that San Juan hostage-taker is more heroic than Trillanes: “Bakit si Trillanes nakalaya at si Paray hindi?”

A netizen shared a touching discussion between her and a security guard about Archie Paray, the former security official who led a hostage-taking in a mall in San Juan because he wanted to reveal the corruption of his former company.

In a lengthy post, netizen Honey Grace Salvador narrated how she was told about the common problems of security guards in the Philippines, including their lack of firearms, missing benefits and being unheard by labor officials in the Philippines.

According to her, Paray helped many security guards by voicing out their problems even in the wrong way.

She also urged the authorities to free Paray because he’s only fighting for the rights of all security guards in the country.

Salvador also compared Paray to former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV who became involved in two coup d’etat but still gained his freedom.

She argued that if Trillanes gained his freedom despite launching a coup against the government, why Paray who only wanted to reveal the corruption of his former superiours is facing many charges.

“KUNG MAIHAHAMBING SA GINAWA NI TRILLIANES MAS BAYANI AT NAKA TUTULONG SI MR. ARCHIE KUNG SI TRIELLIANES NAKA LAYA!! BAKIT HINDI SIYA???” Salvador said.

“KUNG SA SENADO ANG PAG IHI SA CR NG KABABAIHAN AY PINAG TATALUNAN BAKIT DI ANG USAPIN NA TO???” she added.

You can read the remaining of her post below:

“Share ko lang experience ko kanina, habang nag aantay sa pag tawag sa akin, mag babayad kasi ako ng billing naki pag kuwentuhan ako sa isang Guard”

“Me: kuya na balitan mo na ung kay Mr.Archi?”

“Guard: ay opo mam,”

“Nag kuwentuhan kami sa mga nang yari,”

“Sinabi ko na humahanga ako sa Guard na yon,”

“Habang na papasarap ang kuwentuhan”

“May tumawag sa cashier kuya kausapin ka daw,”

“After nila mag kausap sa phone,”

“Narinig ko usapan nila ni cashier,”

“Chine check daw kung na abutan na sila ng fire arm,”

“Isip isip ko hala walang Baril si kuya?”

“Nag tanong na ako, kuya paano kung pasukin kayo?”

“Wala ptay, sagot ni kuya,”

“Totoo nga naman nag usap na din kami tungkol sa binipisyo na bangit niya may dalawa na siyang kasamahan nag reklamo sa DOLE”

“At siya nga din daw sa tulong ng cashier di pa niya malalaman na ilang buwan o mahigit 1 taon ng walang hulog ung SSS niya,”

“Si cashier ang pinakisuyuan ni kuya,”

“Ayon ina asikaso na ng agency nila,”

“At yung tumawag kanina AGENCY UN,”

“Dahil kung hindi sa Bayaning si Archie di sila mag bibigay ng benipisyo at fire arm na kailangan nilang mga Guard,”

“Pasalamat din si kuya sa kabaro niya,”

“Ngaun gising mga Agency na gumagawa ng kalokohan sa mga tauhan nila!”

“Maraming Pamilya ang tinulungan ni Sir, Archie sa Ginawa niyang hakbang na kahit alam niya na maari niyang ikaatay ang pang yayari sa Greenhills,”

“Kahit may sarili siyang Pamilya at buntis pa ang asawa niya,”

“imagine mo ilang Guardiya ang nakikita mo sa mga stabliment, condo at iba pa!”

“Ilang Pamilya din ang natulungan niya dahil lalo lumakas ang loob ng gaya niyang na aapi,
At alam nila na tama na ang ginawang Sakripisyo ng Sir, Archie at di na mauulit,”

“Saludo ako sa taong to!!!”

“Siya yung may TUNAY NA PINAG LALABAN”

“DI NIYA INALINTANA ANG BUHAY NIYA MAKATULONG SA IBA,”

“Given na masama ang mang hostage,”

“Pero di niya sinaktan o gusto i pahamak ang hostage niya, ayon sa isang hostage di raw sila na karamdam ng takot kasama si Sir, Archie ung sinabi ng isa na buntis siya, pina laya niya, ung 1pm na ramdam niya gutom na mga hostage niya nag request siya ng makakain!!!”

Paray gained the support of the netizens and called him as the real-life joker and a hero for sacrificing his freedom to fight for the rights of his colleagues.

Meanwhile, the House of Representatives’ Committee on Labor and Employment is set to conduct an inquiry on March 10 to discuss the complaints of Paray.

Congress to discuss the issues raised by ex-security guard and hostage taker Archie Paray: “It’s a matter we should look into”

By
pinoytrend
-

It seems that the goal of San Juan hostage-taker Archie Paray to be heard is going to happen anytime soon.

The House of Representatives’ Committee on Labor and Employment is set to conduct an inquiry on March 10 to discuss the complaints of Paray who victimized more than 50 employees of a mall in San Juan.

1PACMAN Party-list Rep. Eric Pineda said that they’re not trying to glorify the actions of Paray, but his complaints must be investigated.

Pineda cited that the former security guard refused the 1-M pesos offer by his former employer and instead demanded to talk to the media because he wanted to reveal the issues of his former company.

“I do not condone his actions – endangering lives and violating public order and safety laws. However, there may have been compelling reasons as to why Mr. Paray took such desperate actions, and it’s a matter we should look into,” Pineda said in a statement.

“Mr. Paray never demanded money. His demand was that he wanted to be heard and explain his side. He claimed incompetence, negligence, and corruption. He cited unjust working conditions and employment security since he was allegedly dismissed by his employer. His statement resonated clearly and was heard here at Congress,” Pineda added.

“He claimed incompetence, negligence, and corruption. He cited unjust working conditions and employment security since he was allegedly dismissed by his employer. His statement resonated clearly and was heard here at Congress,” he also said.

According to the lawmaker, he wanted to ensure that the security guards are also going to feel “secure” in their employment.

“How can we expect a security guard to perform his task to secure the safety of the areas assigned to him if he himself does not feel secure in terms of his employment? I find it ironic and unacceptable,” he said.

Paray captured the attention of the netizens and called him a ‘real-life joker’ for doing an extreme act just to raise the corruption issues of his former company.

The former security guard claimed that some of his superiors are illegally asking P5,000 from the mall tenants.

He also claimed that he was kicked out of his job just because he’s only implementing the “No ID, No Entry’ policy for tenants and employees.

The tenant that he allegedly blocked from entering the mall warned him that his days as a security guard are numbered.

A former colleague of Paray said that the hostage-taking would have not happened if the management of the mall treated them fairly.

“Nauunawaan namin siya. Matagal na siya dito at marami na rin siyang nakitang pang-aabuso, siya mismo nabiktima,” one of the security guards who work at the mall told Manila Bulletin.

“Wala kaming reklamo sa agency namin, wala rin kaming reklamo sa sahod kasi patas naman. Ang sa amin lang dito ay yung due process. Dapat kapag paparusahan kami, ipakita sa amin kung bakit at ipakita sa amin na dumaan kami sa tamang proseso hindi yung basta-basta na lang kami paparusahan na hindi namin alam ang dahilan,” another security guard said.
