00:00According to one lawmaker, the expansion of testing centers against MPACs is being encouraged.
00:07Aside from that, the government is also focusing its efforts in Dengue,

00:23Free testing, free hospitalization, and free medicine.
00:29This is what the Congress is encouraging in the middle of the MPACs' threat to the country.
00:35At the press conference of the Camera yesterday,
00:38congressmen cried out that they will now be able to monitor the situation.
00:42According to House Deputy Majority Leader Janet Garin, who used to serve as Health Secretary,
00:48one of the priorities should be the expansion of testing centers for MPACs.
01:18We need to be prepared, but we should not panic.
01:41So if there are people who are pressing panic calls, don't trust them right away.
01:46We should all be aware, we should all be cautious,
01:50and the susceptible population should be vaccinated so that it won't spread and increase.
01:56But it is not like COVID. We don't expect it to spread like COVID.
02:01No, it's not airborne. It's not airborne.
02:05Aside from the MPACs, the Camera also monitored the increase of dengue cases across the country.
02:11In Iloilo province, the State of Calamity declared a state of calamity because of this.
02:16Garin also confirmed this in Iloilo.
02:19The confirmed dengue cases are really skyrocketing.
02:24You know, it's sad because you can see the tension, the fear of the parents and the patients
02:31because there is no medicine for dengue.
02:34The best way for now to survive is really early detection.
02:38So if you have symptoms for two days, you should immediately go to the hospital.
02:44This is the budget season for the Camera.
02:46The MPACs continue to pay attention to the issues of health.
