00:00 The Philippine General Hospital in Manila is being called

00:03 amidst the increasing number of pneumonia patients being brought there.

00:07 This is the news of Bam Alegre.

00:10 Now that the weather is cold,

00:14 Stella Almelor's vendor noticed that her grandchildren are all sick.

00:18 Even her youngest grandson, who is only four months old,

00:21 is with her in the store. He is also infected.

00:23 My grandchildren, including my son,

00:26 are all infected.

00:30 Especially in Bulacan,

00:32 my children and my grandchildren are there.

00:36 Almost all of them are infected.

00:38 Stella does not let her grandchildren look at the specialist.

00:41 More than four months since the COVID-19 state of public health emergency in the country,

00:45 pneumonia cases are increasing in the Philippine General Hospital in Manila.

00:49 According to the PGH,

00:51 many of the patients are intubated

00:53 and they are placed in a container with a tube attached to the ventilator

00:56 so that air can pass through.

00:58 The problem is, of course, when they are intubated,

01:01 the treatment lasts for a long time.

01:03 Because of their severe pneumonia,

01:07 they cannot easily enter the hospital

01:10 because the ICU is full.

01:13 There are also patients who are sick and old.

01:16 The thing that reduces the chance of being infected

01:21 are those who have cancer, stroke, heart attack, dialysis.

01:26 We are talking to the LGU hospitals about the pneumonia.

01:31 They are the ones who promised to provide the PGH's specialty services.

01:39 In the first three months of this year,

01:41 more than 41,000 pneumonia cases were reported in the country.

01:44 More than 200,000 cases were reported for the whole of 2022.

01:48 According to Dr. Jonas Del Rosario,

01:51 pneumonia is a sign of difficulty breathing,

01:53 constipation, and a recurrent or non-curing fever.

01:57 For both children and adults,

01:59 it is a big help if they can receive the PGH's Pneumococcal Vaccine.

02:05 This is a fight against a common source of pneumonia,

02:09 which is Streptococcus pneumoniae.

02:12 After the birth of the newborn,

02:13 the Health Department also observed

02:15 the increase of influenza-like illnesses or ILI,

02:18 which are infectious infections caused by various types of bacteria.

02:22 The number of cases reported from January to October 13 this year

02:25 is 45% higher than the number reported at the same time last year.

02:31 Although the number of cases will slow down by November,

02:34 according to the DOH,

02:35 we should still be careful about wearing face masks and getting vaccinated.

02:39 According to Dr. Ron G. Insolante,

02:41 aside from the time difference,

02:43 the increase of respiratory illnesses

02:45 is possible due to the so-called immunity gap.

02:47 The immunity gap is a global phenomenon,

02:51 because after the pandemic,

02:53 the vaccine-preventable diseases,

02:55 including influenza, pneumonia, measles,

03:00 the vaccination coverage is really decreasing

03:03 in vulnerable populations, including children.
