MANILA, April 01 (PIA)–Nipasidaan ang Department of Health (DoH) sa publiko nga ampingan ang ilang panglawas tungod sa pagsulpot sa mga sakit sa panahon sa ting-init ilabi na sa paghidangat sa Semana Santa.
Kini ang gipahinumdom ni DoH Kalihim Janette Garin kalabot sa pagsugod sa Semana Santa diin sugod usab sa bakasyon ug mga kalihokan sa katawhan apil na ang outing, pista ug uban pa.
Matud pa ni Garin, adunay unom ka sakit (6S) ang mosulpot sa paghidangat sa ting-init apil na ang sore eyes, sun burn, sip-on ug ubo, suka ug pagkalibanga, sakit sa panit ug sakmal o hasmag sa iro.
Pasidaan pa ni Garin, ang sore eyes mahimong makabuta kun dili kini madali mao nga gitambagan niini ang publiko nga batasanong manghunaw gayud sa mga kamot aron dili mapakatap ang bacteria o viruses sa ubang tawo. Giingong dili usab angay mogamit og mga eye drops nga walay tambag sa doktor.
Giingong malikayan usab ang sun burn kun likayang mogawas gikan alas 10:00 sa buntag hangtud alas 2:00 sa pales ug kun dili malikayan, gamit og sunscreen protection.
Batasanon usab ang pag-inom og 8-12 ka basong tubig sa usa ka adlaw aron makalikay sa heat stroke.
Giingong dali lang matakdan sa sip-on ug ubo tungod sa pausab-usab nga panahon mao nga gitambagan ang mga tigulang o senior citizens nga magpabakuna batok sa influenza sa dili pa man magsugod ang ting-init.
Likayan usab ang mga pagkaon nga street foods o mga pagkaon nga gibaligya sa kadalanan ug mga pagkaong dali lang mapan-os tungod sa init nga kasagarang hinungdan sa pagsuka ug pagkalibanga. (ecb/PIA7-Bohol)

Finally, authorities from the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) are implementing the “no-plate-no-travel” policy across the country starting April 1.
The policy is pitifully belated, some PR hungry wise guys already jumped the gun when this was reported for implementation last year. Now, if this is supposed to be a cure to the country’s traffic maladies, it is also supposed to traffic something into somewhere.
After all those years, we delight at the pronouncement. Delight is exactly the term.
No, it is not because it should lessen accidents as the move clearly intends to wipe out illegal and unregistered cars off the roads.
This should significantly enhance the flow of traffic because the big boys who do not mind dis-obeying rules if only to show how they rule the streets, are now to be flagged down, fined and their big toys face impounding.
We delight because this would be perfect chance for the government to finally cash in on the new standardized car plates, which would soon be sported in all vehicles. Good it it’s the government.
Without the use of technology or massive manpower augmentation in the streets, imagine how the LTO could handle that?
Now this itself, again presents another equally enriching opportunity for wise guys in uniform who make the streets their ATM dispensers.
Talk of mulcting traffic lieutenants, or hulidaps and goons on the streets, talk of fixers at LTO clearly fixing themselves, among other things.
What the DOTC is doing is classic “bringing out the big guns and hoping that everyone would just lie there and die there.”
From the start, this has the makings of a lemon car.
This bland pronouncement has just effectively shown ‘buti na lang may ganito, kay sa, sa wala” mentality.
If this is what we get from a government that is expected to govern, there is this dire fixing that must be done. When implemented in April, isn’t this any foolishy at all?

Secretary Mar Roxas ordered all local chief executives (LCEs) to ensure a peaceful and safe observance of Holy Week in their respective localities.
In a memorandum circular, Roxas ordered the LCEs to convene their local peace and order councils to plan actions in anticipation of the “heavy movement of people from various places that shall focus on ensuring adequate transportation, [and] medical emergency services.”
He also directed all LCEs to “establish close coordination with concerned local authorities, cause the mobilization of law enforcers, traffic enforcers, barangay tanods, Barangay Peacekeeping Action Teams, public safety officers,” and “ensure cleanliness and orderliness by mobilizing all resources in garbage collection and disposal, and clean-up operations of public places.”
Earlier, Roxas called on all DILG employees to consider applying a “programmatic, deliberate and sustainable” approach not only in their work but even in their personal lives, as they reflect this Holy Week.
During the flag-raising ceremony, Roxas said this is the framework that he and the other DILG officials employ in implementing programs and projects.
He explained that programmatic means “coherent across disciplines – hindi silos. hindi kanya-kanya,” while deliberate means “malawakan, integrated na pagtingin sa isang programa, sa isang gawain; hindi bara-bara, hindi patsamba. It’s the same every time, all the time.”
On the other hand, he explained that a sustained method is “an approach to work, an approach to life, that is stable, hindi pansamanatala lamang, hindi ningas-cugon.”
He also advised DILG employees to “plan your work, plan your approach then work your plan, para hindi ka naliligaw. That’s the reflection that I wanted to leave with you this morning.” (DILG/PIA)
