The Omicron variant of Covid 19 is now considered as variant of intetest by the World Health Organization.

The world is now again under the threat of Covid 19. With its new variant haunting the African countries, the people around the world is again becoming restless. Our country, the Philippines has recorded a very low cases of Covid 19 for the.past weeks. But with the new Omicron variant of Covid 19, is the Philippines ready for it?

While the campaign period for the 2022 national election is approaching, aspirants for the national position especially the Presidential and Vice-Presidential aspirants are trying their best sell themselves to voters. They use various ways to win votes and use all platforms to get the voters' approval. While we have been entertained with the political dramas in the country, our soldiers on board our resupply ferries were facing the threats from the chinese coast guards who blocked their way and fired water cannons at them simply because they try to navigate in the West Philippine Sea to give supplies to our ships (BRP Sierra Madre) in Ayungin.

The attack drew outrage from world powers, including the United States, and incensed no less than President Rodrigo Duterte who is known for his pro-China policy. In an ASEAN event, Duterte delivered a rare rebuke to China on Monday, November 22, saying the Philippines abhors the attack.

Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr. Is facing many disqualification cases in his bid for the highest position in the Philippines. Currently, there are 6 disqualification cases that were filed in the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) which BBM's lawyers consider as nuissance petition. Will he be able to win against the petitioners or he will be out of the Presidential race?

After Christopher "Bong" Go filed his certificate of candidacy as President of the Country to avoid clash with President Rodrigo Duterte's daughter Sarah Duterte-Carpio who is running as Vice-President of the country, it is now a question of whose tandem will be supported by the people, will it be the Go-Sara or Marcos - Sara Tandem. President Rodrigo Duterte wants Go-Sara Tandem while Sara Duterte is promoting the Marcos Sara Tandem. For the North, it will be the Marcos - Sara Tandem for sure but in the South, it will be divided to Go-Sara and Marcos-Sara Tandem. This is a disadvantage for the two Presidential aspirants but Sara will have no worry. With these updates, it will be the opposition who will benefit from it. The administration is divided so the opposition now will have their chance. But BBM has a disqualification case filed by his political rivals and should this succeed, it will be Bong Go who will benefit from it, granting that BBM's supporter will switch their support to Bong Go. A lot of surprises as we are nearing the campaign period are expected. Whatever these changes and surprises are, we hope and pray that it will be for the benefit of all the Filipino people.

It was a surprise for many when finally, Davao City mayor Sarah Duterte-Carpio filed her certificate of candidacy for the Vice-President position. Others were no longer surprised as they expect already the Presidential daughter to run for a national position after withdrawing her certficate of candidacy for her reelection as mayor of Davao City. While other Presidential aspirants were surprised by the move of the presidential daughter, they said they are not moving a step backward of the race and welcome the Vice-Presidential aspirant to the race. After confirming the BBM-Sarah Tandem, will she be a VP candidate to reckon with? Let's wait and see!

In this episode we will discuss about the recent move of Davao City Mayor Sarah Duterte of withdrawing her reelection bid. The move was a surprise to others while there were few who were expecting it. To those who were surprised by this move of the Presidential daughter, they are now excited to know the next move. Many are speculating and a lot more are hoping that she would end up running as President or Vice-President. Many are also hoping and praying that she will end up running with Bongbong Marcos or BBM. This will make their tandem very winnable as it will combine the two forces, the Solid North.and the Solid South. Let us discuss the benefit of this possible move of joining the forces of the North and the South.

After the release of the Commission on Audit (COA) report tegrding the Audit’s report on deficiencies in the DOH’s PHP67.32 billion allocation for the Covid-19 pandemic response has “unnecessarily” alarmed the public. The Senate immediately conducted hearing regaeding it as a lot of people are calling for the resignation of the DOH secretary. President Rodrigo Duterte however defended the DOH secretary and assured that Secretary Duque has still his trust and confidence. The President clarifies the issue that the COA report about deficiencies found on DOH reports of its 2020 spending does not necessarily mean the money was lost or corrupted, or that there is corruption in the Health dept. It is best to let the people know what is really happening and what is the COA report.all about.
