This, according to administration senatorial candidate Robin Padilla, sums up the government’s COVID-19 pandemic response efforts, which has resulted in the whole country now minimal to low risk for COVID-19 according to the Department of Health.
“Nakikita na natin na sa ilalim ng liderato ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ay nauupakan na natin ang COVID,” said Padilla, a longtime supporter of the President.
The majority of the regions have a total COVID-19 bed and ICU (intensive care unit) utilization at low risk.

“Dati––tulad ng buong mundo––bugbog na bugbog tayo sa virus na ito. Ngayon na may bakuna tayo at maayos ang vaccination program ng gobyerno, ang virus ang bugbog naman sa atin dahil humihina na ang pagkalat nito.”
Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire on Monday revealed that all regions in the Philippines “are now at minimal to low-risk case classification with negative two-week growth rates and average daily attack rates less than seven per 100,000 population.”
“Majority of the regions have a total COVID-19 bed and ICU (intensive care unit) utilization at low risk,” added the Health official, while Metro Manila is at “low-risk case classification with a negative two-week growth rate and an average daily attack rate of 2.69 per 100,000 individuals.”
Metro Manila’s total bed and ICU are likewise at low risk, said the doctor.
Padilla said that like the President, he is throwing his support behind the government’s “Bayanihan, Bakunahan” project, which aims to vaccinate 15 million Filipinos from November 29 to December 1.
“Todo suporta ako dito, dapat lahat ng di pa bakunado, magpabakuna na. Kung magpaturok kayo, di lang kayo ang protektado––protektado din ang pamilya nyo. Kung mahal nyo sila, magpaturok na kayo.”
