President Duterte approved the implementation of Alert Level System for COVID-19 Response for the whole country

November 11, 2021

President Duterte just signed Executive Order No. 151 (EO 151), which is the adoption of Alert Level System (ALS) for COVID-19 Response for the whole country.

In the EO, the rollout of ALS will be in 4 phases. The pilot areas where ALS is already implemented will be consider as the first phase and other regions will follow in the succeeding phase.

Here is the breakdown of the phases;
Phase 1 – NCR, Region 3, 4-A, 6, 7, 10 and 11
Phase 2 – Region 1, 8 and 12
Phase 3 – Region 2, 5 and 9
Phase 4 – Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Region 4-B, Region 13 (CARAGA) and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM)

The shift to Phase 2 can be done anytime after the effectivity of the EO, as determined by Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases but will not be later than the end of the November 2021. The next phase will then take place every week until it covers the whole country.

The guideline for the implementations of ALS in Pilot area and its amendments will be approved by the IATF once the EO is in effect. For regions not under the ALS, Community Quarantine will still be implemented.

Class will remain suspended unless there is a COVID-19 vaccine – President Duterte

May 26, 2020

In their latest meeting, President Duterte reiterates that classes will remain suspended in the country unless there is an available vaccine against COVID-19.

Here’s what President Duterte said in the meeting;

I will not allow the opening of classes na magdikit dikit ‘yang mga bata. Bahala nang hindi na makatapos. For this generation walang makatapos na doktor pati engineer.

Wala nang aral, laro na lang unless I am sure that they are really safe. It’s useless to be talking about the opening of classes. Para sa akin, bakuna muna. Yang mga bata. Bahala nang hindi na makatapos. For this generation walang makatapos na doktor pati engineer.

President Duterte’s statement came after DepEd announced earlier that class for school year 2020 – 2021 will open on August 24, 3030. DepEd later clarified that the August opening date did not mean that students needs to be inside the classroom, since distance learning would be implemented.
