Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education Minister Mohagher Mohammad Iqbal. (Photo courtesy of Bangsamoro Information Office - BARMM) COTABATO CITY - The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in. Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) opened Tuesday PHP17 million worth of school buildings in five public schools in Maguindanao province. In a statement, BARMM Education Minister Mohagher Mohammad Iqbal said the turnover of the building was timely for the second day of the face-to-face classes for the school year 2022-2023. "The additional school facilities is a continuing program of the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE) in the region," he said. Five schools in Maguindanao's School Division 1 and 2 were recipients of the new school buildings that included single-story buildings with two classrooms, and single-story buildings with three and four classrooms. The school recipients include the Looy Integrated Technical High School (Php2,532,684); Looy Elementary School (Php3,385,952); Refra Elementary School (Php3,385,952); Embing Mama Elementary School, (Php3,609,541); Don A. Martinez Elementary School (Php4,550,702). The buildings were funded under the 2018 Basic Education Facilities Fund (BEFF), Iqbal said. "Our desire is that no Bangsamoro child should be left behind in education," he said. (PNA) }

Least-vaxxed region BARMM warned of future surge

(Photo courtesy of NTF Against Covid-19) MANILA - The Bangsamoro Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), the region with the lowest vaccination rate, should be wary of another surge in Covid-19 cases. Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr., National Task Force Against Covid-19 chief, said Monday night that with just less than 30 percent of its target population fully vaccinated so far, it will be difficult for BARMM to recover from another spike in infections. During the prerecorded "Talk to the People" of President Rodrigo Duterte, Galvez said BARMM and neighboring Soccsksargen Region have the lowest vaccination coverage among 17 regions, fully inoculating 27.31 percent and 59.26 percent, respectively, of eligible residents so far. "So pagka po nagkaroon ng surge, mahihirapan po ang BARMM just in case sa kanila po tumama 'yung tinatawag nating pandemic (If there will be another surge, it will be difficult for BARMM, just in case they be hit by the pandemic)," Galvez said. The government is already taking necessary actions to encourage more BARMM residents to avail of the Covid-19 jab, including planned special vaccination days after the May 9 polls. Galvez earlier said that some Muslims are reluctant to get vaccinated over concerns that the Covid-19 jabs are not permissible under their religious and cultural beliefs. Duterte said the government respects and honors their beliefs, but public health should be prioritized. The President cited that Middle East countries were among the first to purchase Covid-19 vaccines. Duterte likewise urged BARMM Chief Minister Ahod "Murad" Ebrahim to "give a little push" in convincing more residents to avail of protection against the dreaded disease. At the Laging Handa public briefing on Tuesday, Philippine Foundation for Vaccination Executive Director Dr. Lulu Bravo cited the importance of proper information dissemination, particularly in areas that are still lagging in their vaccination coverage. Bravo cited that other Muslim-dominated countries, like Malaysia and Indonesia, have already vaccinated about 85 percent of their population. "Ang ganda-ganda na na kanilang Covid cases. Bumagsak na rin gaya ng dito sa Pilipinas sa ngayon (They have good Covid cases number. It has dropped significantly like here in the Philippines )," she said. Bravo said Muslim health professionals and experts as well as BARMM officials can talk directly to the people to explain the benefits of Covid-19 vaccines. "Sila po ang makakatulong sa atin upang ipaliwanag ng maayos sa ating mga kababayan dyan sa Mindanao ang kahalagahan ng pagbabakuna (They are the ones who can help us to properly explain to our fellow countrymen there in Mindanao about the importance of vaccination)," she added. As of April 8, the Philippines has already administered 143,966,310 doses. Of the total, 66,609,892 are fully vaccinated while 12,443,226 of them already have booster or additional doses (PNA) }

Booster shot for 12-17 age group, 4th dose await approval

Baguio City vaccination (NTF Against Covid-19 photo) BAGUIO CITY - The Department of Health (DOH) has requested the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to amend the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of some Covid-19 vaccine brands so they can be administered as booster shots for children aged 12 to 17. In the "ResBakuna Kids and Tourists" activity here on Saturday, National Task Force Against Covid-19 chief implementer Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. announced that the DOH has already submitted a request to the FDA to amend the EUA of the Pfizer and Moderna jabs. Galvez said the government is also pushing for the administration of a fourth dose of the Covid-19 vaccine to select sectors. "Hinihiling po namin sa inyo na kapag nag-open na ang ating fourth dose, at nag-open na rin ang booster sa 12 to 17 years old, magpabakuna tayo. Hangga't maaga, magpabakuna na (We are appealing that in case the fourth dose and also the booster shots for those aged 12 to 17 are approved, get your shots. Let's get vaccinated as early as possible)," he said in a news release. As of April 8, a total of 9,058,466 aged 12 to 17 have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. The vaccination event held at a mall here focused on children aged 5 to 11, as well as tourists. Galvez said he envisions Baguio to be a model of the national government's vaccination efforts. "We want to show local and foreign tourists that Baguio City is ready for business. When they visit here, they will feel safe. Tourists can even get vaccinated here," Galvez said in a mix of English and Filipino. "Baguio is a beautiful place that is not only a premier tourist destination but a health, wellness, and vaccination hub as well." In line with the commemoration of "Araw ng Kagitingan" (Day of Valor), Galvez lauded those who work tirelessly to help in the country's pandemic response efforts, especially the vaccination program. The Philippines had already administered 143,966,310 doses of Covid-19 vaccines. Of the total, 66,609,892 Filipinos are fully vaccinated while 12,443,226 of them have booster or additional doses.
