"Ayaw na nilang magtanggap eh gusto dalhin sa malaking ospital tulad nitong Batangas pero pagdating dito sa Batangas, kailangan daw itawag tapos mag-iisip ka saan mo na naman dadalhin. Hindi na namin alam kung saan dadalhin," ani Buising

Plano ni Buising na ilipat sa Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) ang dalang mga pasyente pero kung hindi ito tatanggapin ay ibabalik na lamang niya ang mag-asawa sa kanilang bahay.

Sa tabi-tabi rin natutulog ang mga kamag-anak ng non-COVID-19 patients ng ospital gaya ni Zenaida Medrano, na gusto sanang bantayan ang anak na natuklasang may sakit sa puso. Namatay naman ang kaniyang bagong-silang na apo.

Representatives from the Philippines and China quarreled Sunday over the South China Sea during a roundtable discussion at the 61st Munich Security Conference.

"The basic issue here is that we are following international law. Whenever the Philippines undertakes any kind of activity within our exclusive economic zone, as defined by UNCLOS, we feel we are within our rights. But when another country, let's say, applies its own domestic laws to certain areas within our [exclusive economic zone], then it really does create the kind of tension that we have been experiencing, especially over the last two years,” Manalo said during the roundtable.

He said countries who have signed agreements such as UNCLOS should abide by these agreements. “If this is not the case, then the rich, the powerful, who will actually be in a position to assert their own laws against the weaker countries, I believe then we're in for a period of even greater tension,” he noted.

“So we all agreed, if the Philippines can take new rocks, how can you stop others? How can you stop China from taking more? We are capable, there is no problem. But we are exercising constraints because we are committed to this DOC. So that's a red line no one should be allowed to cross.”
