The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) reminded the faithful to continue to wear a facemask to protect themselves from various types of illness.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the CBCP-ECHC, the facemask we wear can be a barrier but also a means of protecting one’s health from the spread of the virus and other diseases.

“Ang mask naman natin, it can be a barrier. Hindi lang naman COVID ang iiwasan mo kaya ka nagsusuot nito. Pwede itong proteksyon mula sa usok, pati sa ibang sakit tulad ng tuberculosis. So, kung makikita mo, marami rin talaga siyang benefits,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino further told Radio Veritas that the proper dissemination of information to the people why they need to wear a facemask is also a form of discipline.

“Kaya nga ‘yung conscientization, increasing nung kamalayan na ‘yan ay napakaimportante talaga. Kasi baka isipin na magma-mask lang ako dahil baka may COVID, pero paano ‘yun kapag wala nang COVID, ibig sabihin ‘di na tayo magma-mask? Kung mababa ang iyong resistensya ay gawin mo ‘yung nararapat para sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay at para din sa ating sambayanan,” said Fr. Cancino.

The priest instructed the public to continue to follow the minimum public health standards and vaccination because there are many possibilities of contracting diseases.

Based on the latest report by the Department of Health, currently, there are 8,600 active cases of COVID-19 in the country. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines’ Healthcare Commission (CBCP-ECHC) is encouraging the public to support the Department of Health ( DOH) initiatives and objectives.

The ChikitingLigtas 2023 project, commonly known as the Measles and Rubella Vaccine-Oral Polio Vaccine (MRV-OPV) supplemental immunization effort, aimed to boost childhood vaccination against vaccine- preventable illnesses (VPDs).

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of CBCP-ECHC, believes that it is critical to give additional protection for children in order to shield them from the impacts of communicable diseases.

“Maraming mga parokyang ayon sa iba’t ibang diyosesis ang nakikilahok dito sa Chikiting Ligtas na ito. Kaya para sa akin, ito ‘yung pagpapalaganap ng proper information sa kahalagahan ng ating kabataan. Ito ang paglahok natin para sa pagpapalaganap ng tamang impormasyon sa mga magulang at sa ating buong komunidad,” as stated by Fr. Cancino with Radyo Veritas

The priest admits that the provision of immunizations to children has been hampered by the country’s continuing COVID-19 pandemic, as the government has prioritized the COVID-19 vaccination effort.

Nonetheless, Fr. Cancino told the government that the church will aid the government in telling the public about the ChikitingLigas campaign and its importance for children’s health.

“Kaya tayo sa simbahan, nagpapalaganap tayo ng tamang impormasyon tungkol sa Chikiting Ligtas naito. Marami na rin sa ating mga parokya ang nakikilahok sa mga local government units, rural health units, at municipal health offices para mapalaganap natin itong mga impormasyon. At ‘yung iba nga ay nagiging venue para maging vaccination sites para sa mga bata,”Fr. Cancino explained to Radyo Veritas

Within two weeks of the campaign’s inception, nearly 5,3 million youngsters had received VPD vaccinations, according to DOH figures.

Children aged nine months to five years can receive measles and rubella immunizations, while children aged five and under receive the Polio vaccine.

There were 50,000 documented cases of measles in 2019, resulting in 637 deaths. Four children died from Polio-related causes the same year. (Luis Angelo Sta. Maria/Volunteer Writer/San Felipe Neri Parish)

The healthcare commission of the Catholic church continues to call for the government to take advantage of the COVID-19 vaccination despite the continuous health improvement of society from the pandemic.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC), it is still important to focus on having additional protection even though the rules against COVID-19 are being relaxed.

“Importante talaga ang bakuna para masigurado ang proteksyon natin laban sa COVID-19. Napatunayan naman ‘yan nitong mga nakaraang taon ng pandemya at dahil d’yan nabawasan ‘yung mga kaso ng malalang sintomas ng virus. Sana, i-avail pa rin natin ang COVID-19 vaccine para sa proteksyon ng ating sarili, pati na rin kapwa natin,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino also said that the Department of Health reports that many vaccines will expire this year and remain stored in cold storage facilities.

Since the number of people getting vaccinated and getting booster shots have decreased, there is a risk that the eight million COVID-19 vaccines will go to waste.

According to Rosario Vergeire, Health Officer-in-Charge, more than 15 million vaccines that the DOH expects to expire this year.

She added that the DOH is waiting for the decision of the Food and Drug Administration and vaccine manufacturers for the seven million vaccines to extend their “shelf life.”

“Tatanggalin natin ‘yung almost 7 million na inaantay pa po natin ang decision ng FDA together with the manufacturers who have applied kung ma-re-re-extend natin ‘yung shelf life nila,” said Vergeire.

A total of 44 million vaccines have been wasted throughout the government’s COVID-19 vaccination program, including damaged vaccines caused by fire, temperature, calamities, and other incidents. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

The more common symptoms are fever, body weakness, dizziness, sore throat, and rashes on the face, chest, feet, hands, and even the genitals.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

“Kung mayroon tayong mga sintomas o senyales ng monkeypox, komunsulta kaagad sa doktor o kaya nama’y mas maganda sa public health facility para mas mapagtuunan at mabigyan ng tugon,” he added.

The first case of the monkeypox virus was reported in the Philippines on July 28. On August 25 the fourth case of sickness due to the virus was recorded from a 25-year-old patient without any travel history to countries with monkeypox outbreaks.

Monkeypox is a rare infection first seen in parts of West and Central Africa that is considered a “global health emergency” by the World Health Organization. (Fatima Llanza/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care executive secretary Fr. Dan Cancino, has pointed out how health care workers made a huge contribution in taking care of the sick to help them get cured during this time of the pandemic.

According to him these healthcare workers are instruments of the Lord for the patients to fill them with the light of hope.

“Sa panahon ngayon, ang ating pangangalaga sa maysakit ay nagluluningning na. Sa mga nag-aalaga sa maysakit, sa ating mga carers, caregivers, manggagawa sa kalusugan – sa ospital at sa komunidad, maraming salamat sa malasakit at paghahatid ng liwanag ng ating Panginoon lalong lalo na sa mga dumaranas ng karamdaman,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino acknowledges the sacrifice of healthcare workers and caregivers who offered their time to serve and help cure sick patients from their illnesses.

These past two years of the pandemic, everyone witnessed the valuable contribution of medical frontliners in their response to the contagious and deadly COVID–19.

Some of them lost their lives working to help cure patients and prevent them from catching deadlier diseases,

“We recognize your love and your effort to the sick. Dito natin makikita sa puso ng bawat tao na nandoon pa rin yoong itinatak ng Panginoong Diyos na mangalaga sa kapwa,” according to Fr. Cancino.

Fr. Cancino prays that there would be more caretakers with a good heart to serve as inspiration to everyone in helping cure those who are sick.

The CBCP-ECHC shall disseminate, promote and defend the teaching of the Church on the subject of health care that includes in a special way, attention to and concern for the handicapped, the sick, the aged and the dying. It also helps in fomenting the awareness and observance of Church doctrine on health care and animates and assists Dioceses, Parishes, Schools, Religious Communities, Lay Organizations, health care workers and similar entities, in collaboration with other Commissions in the Conference. It also acts as liaison with the Pontifical Council for Pastoral Assistance to Health Care Workers. (Fatima Llanza/RCAM-AOC | Photo of Fr. Dan Cancino from Radio Veritas)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care executive secretary Fr. Dan Cancino, has pointed out how health care workers made a huge contribution in taking care of the sick to help them get cured during this time of the pandemic.

According to him these healthcare workers are instruments of the Lord for the patients to fill them with the light of hope.

“Sa panahon ngayon, ang ating pangangalaga sa maysakit ay nagluluningning na. Sa mga nag-aalaga sa maysakit, sa ating mga carers, caregivers, manggagawa sa kalusugan – sa ospital at sa komunidad, maraming salamat sa malasakit at paghahatid ng liwanag ng ating Panginoon lalong lalo na sa mga dumaranas ng karamdaman,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino acknowledges the sacrifice of healthcare workers and caregivers who offered their time to serve and help cure sick patients from their illnesses.

These past two years of the pandemic, everyone witnessed the valuable contribution of medical frontliners in their response to the contagious and deadly COVID–19.

Some of them lost their lives working to help cure patients and prevent them from catching deadlier diseases,

“We recognize your love and your effort to the sick. Dito natin makikita sa puso ng bawat tao na nandoon pa rin yoong itinatak ng Panginoong Diyos na mangalaga sa kapwa,” according to Fr. Cancino.

Fr. Cancino prays that there would be more caretakers with a good heart to serve as inspiration to everyone in helping cure those who are sick.

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) reminded the faithful to continue to wear a facemask to protect themselves from various types of illness.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the CBCP-ECHC, the facemask we wear can be a barrier but also a means of protecting one’s health from the spread of the virus and other diseases.

“Ang mask naman natin, it can be a barrier. Hindi lang naman COVID ang iiwasan mo kaya ka nagsusuot nito. Pwede itong proteksyon mula sa usok, pati sa ibang sakit tulad ng tuberculosis. So, kung makikita mo, marami rin talaga siyang benefits,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino further told Radio Veritas that the proper dissemination of information to the people why they need to wear a facemask is also a form of discipline.

“Kaya nga ‘yung conscientization, increasing nung kamalayan na ‘yan ay napakaimportante talaga. Kasi baka isipin na magma-mask lang ako dahil baka may COVID, pero paano ‘yun kapag wala nang COVID, ibig sabihin ‘di na tayo magma-mask? Kung mababa ang iyong resistensya ay gawin mo ‘yung nararapat para sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay at para din sa ating sambayanan,” said Fr. Cancino.

The priest instructed the public to continue to follow the minimum public health standards and vaccination because there are many possibilities of contracting diseases.

Based on the latest report by the Department of Health, currently, there are 8,600 active cases of COVID-19 in the country. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines’ Healthcare Commission (CBCP-ECHC) is encouraging the public to support the Department of Health ( DOH) initiatives and objectives.

The ChikitingLigtas 2023 project, commonly known as the Measles and Rubella Vaccine-Oral Polio Vaccine (MRV-OPV) supplemental immunization effort, aimed to boost childhood vaccination against vaccine- preventable illnesses (VPDs).

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of CBCP-ECHC, believes that it is critical to give additional protection for children in order to shield them from the impacts of communicable diseases.

“Maraming mga parokyang ayon sa iba’t ibang diyosesis ang nakikilahok dito sa Chikiting Ligtas na ito. Kaya para sa akin, ito ‘yung pagpapalaganap ng proper information sa kahalagahan ng ating kabataan. Ito ang paglahok natin para sa pagpapalaganap ng tamang impormasyon sa mga magulang at sa ating buong komunidad,” as stated by Fr. Cancino with Radyo Veritas

The priest admits that the provision of immunizations to children has been hampered by the country’s continuing COVID-19 pandemic, as the government has prioritized the COVID-19 vaccination effort.

Nonetheless, Fr. Cancino told the government that the church will aid the government in telling the public about the ChikitingLigas campaign and its importance for children’s health.

“Kaya tayo sa simbahan, nagpapalaganap tayo ng tamang impormasyon tungkol sa Chikiting Ligtas naito. Marami na rin sa ating mga parokya ang nakikilahok sa mga local government units, rural health units, at municipal health offices para mapalaganap natin itong mga impormasyon. At ‘yung iba nga ay nagiging venue para maging vaccination sites para sa mga bata,”Fr. Cancino explained to Radyo Veritas

Within two weeks of the campaign’s inception, nearly 5,3 million youngsters had received VPD vaccinations, according to DOH figures.

Children aged nine months to five years can receive measles and rubella immunizations, while children aged five and under receive the Polio vaccine.

There were 50,000 documented cases of measles in 2019, resulting in 637 deaths. Four children died from Polio-related causes the same year. (Luis Angelo Sta. Maria/Volunteer Writer/San Felipe Neri Parish)

The healthcare commission of the Catholic church continues to call for the government to take advantage of the COVID-19 vaccination despite the continuous health improvement of society from the pandemic.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC), it is still important to focus on having additional protection even though the rules against COVID-19 are being relaxed.

“Importante talaga ang bakuna para masigurado ang proteksyon natin laban sa COVID-19. Napatunayan naman ‘yan nitong mga nakaraang taon ng pandemya at dahil d’yan nabawasan ‘yung mga kaso ng malalang sintomas ng virus. Sana, i-avail pa rin natin ang COVID-19 vaccine para sa proteksyon ng ating sarili, pati na rin kapwa natin,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino also said that the Department of Health reports that many vaccines will expire this year and remain stored in cold storage facilities.

Since the number of people getting vaccinated and getting booster shots have decreased, there is a risk that the eight million COVID-19 vaccines will go to waste.

According to Rosario Vergeire, Health Officer-in-Charge, more than 15 million vaccines that the DOH expects to expire this year.

She added that the DOH is waiting for the decision of the Food and Drug Administration and vaccine manufacturers for the seven million vaccines to extend their “shelf life.”

“Tatanggalin natin ‘yung almost 7 million na inaantay pa po natin ang decision ng FDA together with the manufacturers who have applied kung ma-re-re-extend natin ‘yung shelf life nila,” said Vergeire.

A total of 44 million vaccines have been wasted throughout the government’s COVID-19 vaccination program, including damaged vaccines caused by fire, temperature, calamities, and other incidents. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

The more common symptoms are fever, body weakness, dizziness, sore throat, and rashes on the face, chest, feet, hands, and even the genitals.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

“Kung mayroon tayong mga sintomas o senyales ng monkeypox, komunsulta kaagad sa doktor o kaya nama’y mas maganda sa public health facility para mas mapagtuunan at mabigyan ng tugon,” he added.

The first case of the monkeypox virus was reported in the Philippines on July 28. On August 25 the fourth case of sickness due to the virus was recorded from a 25-year-old patient without any travel history to countries with monkeypox outbreaks.

Monkeypox is a rare infection first seen in parts of West and Central Africa that is considered a “global health emergency” by the World Health Organization. (Fatima Llanza/RCAM-AOC)

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

The more common symptoms are fever, body weakness, dizziness, sore throat, and rashes on the face, chest, feet, hands, and even the genitals.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

“Kung mayroon tayong mga sintomas o senyales ng monkeypox, komunsulta kaagad sa doktor o kaya nama’y mas maganda sa public health facility para mas mapagtuunan at mabigyan ng tugon,” he added.

The first case of the monkeypox virus was reported in the Philippines on July 28. On August 25 the fourth case of sickness due to the virus was recorded from a 25-year-old patient without any travel history to countries with monkeypox outbreaks.

Monkeypox is a rare infection first seen in parts of West and Central Africa that is considered a “global health emergency” by the World Health Organization. (Fatima Llanza/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care executive secretary Fr. Dan Cancino, has pointed out how health care workers made a huge contribution in taking care of the sick to help them get cured during this time of the pandemic.

According to him these healthcare workers are instruments of the Lord for the patients to fill them with the light of hope.

“Sa panahon ngayon, ang ating pangangalaga sa maysakit ay nagluluningning na. Sa mga nag-aalaga sa maysakit, sa ating mga carers, caregivers, manggagawa sa kalusugan – sa ospital at sa komunidad, maraming salamat sa malasakit at paghahatid ng liwanag ng ating Panginoon lalong lalo na sa mga dumaranas ng karamdaman,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino acknowledges the sacrifice of healthcare workers and caregivers who offered their time to serve and help cure sick patients from their illnesses.

These past two years of the pandemic, everyone witnessed the valuable contribution of medical frontliners in their response to the contagious and deadly COVID–19.

Some of them lost their lives working to help cure patients and prevent them from catching deadlier diseases,

“We recognize your love and your effort to the sick. Dito natin makikita sa puso ng bawat tao na nandoon pa rin yoong itinatak ng Panginoong Diyos na mangalaga sa kapwa,” according to Fr. Cancino.

Fr. Cancino prays that there would be more caretakers with a good heart to serve as inspiration to everyone in helping cure those who are sick.

The CBCP-ECHC shall disseminate, promote and defend the teaching of the Church on the subject of health care that includes in a special way, attention to and concern for the handicapped, the sick, the aged and the dying. It also helps in fomenting the awareness and observance of Church doctrine on health care and animates and assists Dioceses, Parishes, Schools, Religious Communities, Lay Organizations, health care workers and similar entities, in collaboration with other Commissions in the Conference.

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) reminded the faithful to continue to wear a facemask to protect themselves from various types of illness.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the CBCP-ECHC, the facemask we wear can be a barrier but also a means of protecting one’s health from the spread of the virus and other diseases.

“Ang mask naman natin, it can be a barrier. Hindi lang naman COVID ang iiwasan mo kaya ka nagsusuot nito. Pwede itong proteksyon mula sa usok, pati sa ibang sakit tulad ng tuberculosis. So, kung makikita mo, marami rin talaga siyang benefits,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino further told Radio Veritas that the proper dissemination of information to the people why they need to wear a facemask is also a form of discipline.

“Kaya nga ‘yung conscientization, increasing nung kamalayan na ‘yan ay napakaimportante talaga. Kasi baka isipin na magma-mask lang ako dahil baka may COVID, pero paano ‘yun kapag wala nang COVID, ibig sabihin ‘di na tayo magma-mask? Kung mababa ang iyong resistensya ay gawin mo ‘yung nararapat para sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay at para din sa ating sambayanan,” said Fr. Cancino.

The priest instructed the public to continue to follow the minimum public health standards and vaccination because there are many possibilities of contracting diseases.

Based on the latest report by the Department of Health, currently, there are 8,600 active cases of COVID-19 in the country. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines’ Healthcare Commission (CBCP-ECHC) is encouraging the public to support the Department of Health ( DOH) initiatives and objectives.

The ChikitingLigtas 2023 project, commonly known as the Measles and Rubella Vaccine-Oral Polio Vaccine (MRV-OPV) supplemental immunization effort, aimed to boost childhood vaccination against vaccine- preventable illnesses (VPDs).

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of CBCP-ECHC, believes that it is critical to give additional protection for children in order to shield them from the impacts of communicable diseases.

“Maraming mga parokyang ayon sa iba’t ibang diyosesis ang nakikilahok dito sa Chikiting Ligtas na ito. Kaya para sa akin, ito ‘yung pagpapalaganap ng proper information sa kahalagahan ng ating kabataan. Ito ang paglahok natin para sa pagpapalaganap ng tamang impormasyon sa mga magulang at sa ating buong komunidad,” as stated by Fr. Cancino with Radyo Veritas

The priest admits that the provision of immunizations to children has been hampered by the country’s continuing COVID-19 pandemic, as the government has prioritized the COVID-19 vaccination effort.

Nonetheless, Fr. Cancino told the government that the church will aid the government in telling the public about the ChikitingLigas campaign and its importance for children’s health.

“Kaya tayo sa simbahan, nagpapalaganap tayo ng tamang impormasyon tungkol sa Chikiting Ligtas naito. Marami na rin sa ating mga parokya ang nakikilahok sa mga local government units, rural health units, at municipal health offices para mapalaganap natin itong mga impormasyon. At ‘yung iba nga ay nagiging venue para maging vaccination sites para sa mga bata,”Fr. Cancino explained to Radyo Veritas

Within two weeks of the campaign’s inception, nearly 5,3 million youngsters had received VPD vaccinations, according to DOH figures.

Children aged nine months to five years can receive measles and rubella immunizations, while children aged five and under receive the Polio vaccine.

There were 50,000 documented cases of measles in 2019, resulting in 637 deaths. Four children died from Polio-related causes the same year. (Luis Angelo Sta. Maria/Volunteer Writer/San Felipe Neri Parish)

The healthcare commission of the Catholic church continues to call for the government to take advantage of the COVID-19 vaccination despite the continuous health improvement of society from the pandemic.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC), it is still important to focus on having additional protection even though the rules against COVID-19 are being relaxed.

“Importante talaga ang bakuna para masigurado ang proteksyon natin laban sa COVID-19. Napatunayan naman ‘yan nitong mga nakaraang taon ng pandemya at dahil d’yan nabawasan ‘yung mga kaso ng malalang sintomas ng virus. Sana, i-avail pa rin natin ang COVID-19 vaccine para sa proteksyon ng ating sarili, pati na rin kapwa natin,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino also said that the Department of Health reports that many vaccines will expire this year and remain stored in cold storage facilities.

Since the number of people getting vaccinated and getting booster shots have decreased, there is a risk that the eight million COVID-19 vaccines will go to waste.

According to Rosario Vergeire, Health Officer-in-Charge, more than 15 million vaccines that the DOH expects to expire this year.

She added that the DOH is waiting for the decision of the Food and Drug Administration and vaccine manufacturers for the seven million vaccines to extend their “shelf life.”

“Tatanggalin natin ‘yung almost 7 million na inaantay pa po natin ang decision ng FDA together with the manufacturers who have applied kung ma-re-re-extend natin ‘yung shelf life nila,” said Vergeire.

A total of 44 million vaccines have been wasted throughout the government’s COVID-19 vaccination program, including damaged vaccines caused by fire, temperature, calamities, and other incidents. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

The healthcare commission of the Catholic church continues to call for the government to take advantage of the COVID-19 vaccination despite the continuous health improvement of society from the pandemic.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC), it is still important to focus on having additional protection even though the rules against COVID-19 are being relaxed.

“Importante talaga ang bakuna para masigurado ang proteksyon natin laban sa COVID-19. Napatunayan naman ‘yan nitong mga nakaraang taon ng pandemya at dahil d’yan nabawasan ‘yung mga kaso ng malalang sintomas ng virus. Sana, i-avail pa rin natin ang COVID-19 vaccine para sa proteksyon ng ating sarili, pati na rin kapwa natin,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino also said that the Department of Health reports that many vaccines will expire this year and remain stored in cold storage facilities.

Since the number of people getting vaccinated and getting booster shots have decreased, there is a risk that the eight million COVID-19 vaccines will go to waste.

According to Rosario Vergeire, Health Officer-in-Charge, more than 15 million vaccines that the DOH expects to expire this year.

She added that the DOH is waiting for the decision of the Food and Drug Administration and vaccine manufacturers for the seven million vaccines to extend their “shelf life.”

“Tatanggalin natin ‘yung almost 7 million na inaantay pa po natin ang decision ng FDA together with the manufacturers who have applied kung ma-re-re-extend natin ‘yung shelf life nila,” said Vergeire.

A total of 44 million vaccines have been wasted throughout the government’s COVID-19 vaccination program, including damaged vaccines caused by fire, temperature, calamities, and other incidents. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

The more common symptoms are fever, body weakness, dizziness, sore throat, and rashes on the face, chest, feet, hands, and even the genitals.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

“Kung mayroon tayong mga sintomas o senyales ng monkeypox, komunsulta kaagad sa doktor o kaya nama’y mas maganda sa public health facility para mas mapagtuunan at mabigyan ng tugon,” he added.

The first case of the monkeypox virus was reported in the Philippines on July 28. On August 25 the fourth case of sickness due to the virus was recorded from a 25-year-old patient without any travel history to countries with monkeypox outbreaks.

Monkeypox is a rare infection first seen in parts of West and Central Africa that is considered a “global health emergency” by the World Health Organization. (Fatima Llanza/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care executive secretary Fr. Dan Cancino, has pointed out how health care workers made a huge contribution in taking care of the sick to help them get cured during this time of the pandemic.

According to him these healthcare workers are instruments of the Lord for the patients to fill them with the light of hope.

“Sa panahon ngayon, ang ating pangangalaga sa maysakit ay nagluluningning na. Sa mga nag-aalaga sa maysakit, sa ating mga carers, caregivers, manggagawa sa kalusugan – sa ospital at sa komunidad, maraming salamat sa malasakit at paghahatid ng liwanag ng ating Panginoon lalong lalo na sa mga dumaranas ng karamdaman,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino acknowledges the sacrifice of healthcare workers and caregivers who offered their time to serve and help cure sick patients from their illnesses.

These past two years of the pandemic, everyone witnessed the valuable contribution of medical frontliners in their response to the contagious and deadly COVID–19.

Some of them lost their lives working to help cure patients and prevent them from catching deadlier diseases,

“We recognize your love and your effort to the sick. Dito natin makikita sa puso ng bawat tao na nandoon pa rin yoong itinatak ng Panginoong Diyos na mangalaga sa kapwa,” according to Fr. Cancino.

Fr. Cancino prays that there would be more caretakers with a good heart to serve as inspiration to everyone in helping cure those who are sick.

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) reminded the faithful to continue to wear a facemask to protect themselves from various types of illness.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the CBCP-ECHC, the facemask we wear can be a barrier but also a means of protecting one’s health from the spread of the virus and other diseases.

“Ang mask naman natin, it can be a barrier. Hindi lang naman COVID ang iiwasan mo kaya ka nagsusuot nito. Pwede itong proteksyon mula sa usok, pati sa ibang sakit tulad ng tuberculosis. So, kung makikita mo, marami rin talaga siyang benefits,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino further told Radio Veritas that the proper dissemination of information to the people why they need to wear a facemask is also a form of discipline.

“Kaya nga ‘yung conscientization, increasing nung kamalayan na ‘yan ay napakaimportante talaga. Kasi baka isipin na magma-mask lang ako dahil baka may COVID, pero paano ‘yun kapag wala nang COVID, ibig sabihin ‘di na tayo magma-mask? Kung mababa ang iyong resistensya ay gawin mo ‘yung nararapat para sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay at para din sa ating sambayanan,” said Fr. Cancino.

The priest instructed the public to continue to follow the minimum public health standards and vaccination because there are many possibilities of contracting diseases.

Based on the latest report by the Department of Health, currently, there are 8,600 active cases of COVID-19 in the country. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines’ Healthcare Commission (CBCP-ECHC) is encouraging the public to support the Department of Health ( DOH) initiatives and objectives.

The ChikitingLigtas 2023 project, commonly known as the Measles and Rubella Vaccine-Oral Polio Vaccine (MRV-OPV) supplemental immunization effort, aimed to boost childhood vaccination against vaccine- preventable illnesses (VPDs).

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of CBCP-ECHC, believes that it is critical to give additional protection for children in order to shield them from the impacts of communicable diseases.

“Maraming mga parokyang ayon sa iba’t ibang diyosesis ang nakikilahok dito sa Chikiting Ligtas na ito. Kaya para sa akin, ito ‘yung pagpapalaganap ng proper information sa kahalagahan ng ating kabataan. Ito ang paglahok natin para sa pagpapalaganap ng tamang impormasyon sa mga magulang at sa ating buong komunidad,” as stated by Fr. Cancino with Radyo Veritas

The priest admits that the provision of immunizations to children has been hampered by the country’s continuing COVID-19 pandemic, as the government has prioritized the COVID-19 vaccination effort.

Nonetheless, Fr. Cancino told the government that the church will aid the government in telling the public about the ChikitingLigas campaign and its importance for children’s health.

“Kaya tayo sa simbahan, nagpapalaganap tayo ng tamang impormasyon tungkol sa Chikiting Ligtas naito. Marami na rin sa ating mga parokya ang nakikilahok sa mga local government units, rural health units, at municipal health offices para mapalaganap natin itong mga impormasyon. At ‘yung iba nga ay nagiging venue para maging vaccination sites para sa mga bata,”Fr. Cancino explained to Radyo Veritas

Within two weeks of the campaign’s inception, nearly 5,3 million youngsters had received VPD vaccinations, according to DOH figures.

Children aged nine months to five years can receive measles and rubella immunizations, while children aged five and under receive the Polio vaccine.

There were 50,000 documented cases of measles in 2019, resulting in 637 deaths. Four children died from Polio-related causes the same year. (Luis Angelo Sta. Maria/Volunteer Writer/San Felipe Neri Parish)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines’ Healthcare Commission (CBCP-ECHC) is encouraging the public to support the Department of Health ( DOH) initiatives and objectives.

The ChikitingLigtas 2023 project, commonly known as the Measles and Rubella Vaccine-Oral Polio Vaccine (MRV-OPV) supplemental immunization effort, aimed to boost childhood vaccination against vaccine- preventable illnesses (VPDs).

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of CBCP-ECHC, believes that it is critical to give additional protection for children in order to shield them from the impacts of communicable diseases.

“Maraming mga parokyang ayon sa iba’t ibang diyosesis ang nakikilahok dito sa Chikiting Ligtas na ito. Kaya para sa akin, ito ‘yung pagpapalaganap ng proper information sa kahalagahan ng ating kabataan. Ito ang paglahok natin para sa pagpapalaganap ng tamang impormasyon sa mga magulang at sa ating buong komunidad,” as stated by Fr. Cancino with Radyo Veritas

The priest admits that the provision of immunizations to children has been hampered by the country’s continuing COVID-19 pandemic, as the government has prioritized the COVID-19 vaccination effort.

Nonetheless, Fr. Cancino told the government that the church will aid the government in telling the public about the ChikitingLigas campaign and its importance for children’s health.

“Kaya tayo sa simbahan, nagpapalaganap tayo ng tamang impormasyon tungkol sa Chikiting Ligtas naito. Marami na rin sa ating mga parokya ang nakikilahok sa mga local government units, rural health units, at municipal health offices para mapalaganap natin itong mga impormasyon. At ‘yung iba nga ay nagiging venue para maging vaccination sites para sa mga bata,”Fr. Cancino explained to Radyo Veritas

Within two weeks of the campaign’s inception, nearly 5,3 million youngsters had received VPD vaccinations, according to DOH figures.

Children aged nine months to five years can receive measles and rubella immunizations, while children aged five and under receive the Polio vaccine.

There were 50,000 documented cases of measles in 2019, resulting in 637 deaths. Four children died from Polio-related causes the same year. (Luis Angelo Sta. Maria/Volunteer Writer/San Felipe Neri Parish)

The healthcare commission of the Catholic church continues to call for the government to take advantage of the COVID-19 vaccination despite the continuous health improvement of society from the pandemic.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC), it is still important to focus on having additional protection even though the rules against COVID-19 are being relaxed.

“Importante talaga ang bakuna para masigurado ang proteksyon natin laban sa COVID-19. Napatunayan naman ‘yan nitong mga nakaraang taon ng pandemya at dahil d’yan nabawasan ‘yung mga kaso ng malalang sintomas ng virus. Sana, i-avail pa rin natin ang COVID-19 vaccine para sa proteksyon ng ating sarili, pati na rin kapwa natin,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino also said that the Department of Health reports that many vaccines will expire this year and remain stored in cold storage facilities.

Since the number of people getting vaccinated and getting booster shots have decreased, there is a risk that the eight million COVID-19 vaccines will go to waste.

According to Rosario Vergeire, Health Officer-in-Charge, more than 15 million vaccines that the DOH expects to expire this year.

She added that the DOH is waiting for the decision of the Food and Drug Administration and vaccine manufacturers for the seven million vaccines to extend their “shelf life.”

“Tatanggalin natin ‘yung almost 7 million na inaantay pa po natin ang decision ng FDA together with the manufacturers who have applied kung ma-re-re-extend natin ‘yung shelf life nila,” said Vergeire.

A total of 44 million vaccines have been wasted throughout the government’s COVID-19 vaccination program, including damaged vaccines caused by fire, temperature, calamities, and other incidents. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

The more common symptoms are fever, body weakness, dizziness, sore throat, and rashes on the face, chest, feet, hands, and even the genitals.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

“Kung mayroon tayong mga sintomas o senyales ng monkeypox, komunsulta kaagad sa doktor o kaya nama’y mas maganda sa public health facility para mas mapagtuunan at mabigyan ng tugon,” he added.

The first case of the monkeypox virus was reported in the Philippines on July 28. On August 25 the fourth case of sickness due to the virus was recorded from a 25-year-old patient without any travel history to countries with monkeypox outbreaks.

Monkeypox is a rare infection first seen in parts of West and Central Africa that is considered a “global health emergency” by the World Health Organization. (Fatima Llanza/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care executive secretary Fr. Dan Cancino, has pointed out how health care workers made a huge contribution in taking care of the sick to help them get cured during this time of the pandemic.

According to him these healthcare workers are instruments of the Lord for the patients to fill them with the light of hope.

“Sa panahon ngayon, ang ating pangangalaga sa maysakit ay nagluluningning na. Sa mga nag-aalaga sa maysakit, sa ating mga carers, caregivers, manggagawa sa kalusugan – sa ospital at sa komunidad, maraming salamat sa malasakit at paghahatid ng liwanag ng ating Panginoon lalong lalo na sa mga dumaranas ng karamdaman,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino acknowledges the sacrifice of healthcare workers and caregivers who offered their time to serve and help cure sick patients from their illnesses.

These past two years of the pandemic, everyone witnessed the valuable contribution of medical frontliners in their response to the contagious and deadly COVID–19.

Some of them lost their lives working to help cure patients and prevent them from catching deadlier diseases,

“We recognize your love and your effort to the sick. Dito natin makikita sa puso ng bawat tao na nandoon pa rin yoong itinatak ng Panginoong Diyos na mangalaga sa kapwa,” according to Fr. Cancino.

Fr. Cancino prays that there would be more caretakers with a good heart to serve as inspiration to everyone in helping cure those who are sick.

The CBCP-ECHC shall disseminate, promote and defend the teaching of the Church on the subject of health care that includes in a special way, attention to and concern for the handicapped, the sick, the aged and the dying. It also helps in fomenting the awareness and observance of Church doctrine on health care and animates and assists Dioceses, Parishes, Schools, Religious Communities, Lay Organizations, health care workers and similar entities, in collaboration with other Commissions in the Conference. It also acts as liaison with the Pontifical Council for Pastoral Assistance to Health Care Workers. (Fatima Llanza/RCAM-AOC | Photo of Fr. Dan Cancino from Radio Veritas)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) reminded the faithful to continue to wear a facemask to protect themselves from various types of illness.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the CBCP-ECHC, the facemask we wear can be a barrier but also a means of protecting one’s health from the spread of the virus and other diseases.

“Ang mask naman natin, it can be a barrier. Hindi lang naman COVID ang iiwasan mo kaya ka nagsusuot nito. Pwede itong proteksyon mula sa usok, pati sa ibang sakit tulad ng tuberculosis. So, kung makikita mo, marami rin talaga siyang benefits,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino further told Radio Veritas that the proper dissemination of information to the people why they need to wear a facemask is also a form of discipline.

“Kaya nga ‘yung conscientization, increasing nung kamalayan na ‘yan ay napakaimportante talaga. Kasi baka isipin na magma-mask lang ako dahil baka may COVID, pero paano ‘yun kapag wala nang COVID, ibig sabihin ‘di na tayo magma-mask? Kung mababa ang iyong resistensya ay gawin mo ‘yung nararapat para sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay at para din sa ating sambayanan,” said Fr. Cancino.

The priest instructed the public to continue to follow the minimum public health standards and vaccination because there are many possibilities of contracting diseases.

Based on the latest report by the Department of Health, currently, there are 8,600 active cases of COVID-19 in the country. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) reminded the faithful to continue to wear a facemask to protect themselves from various types of illness.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the CBCP-ECHC, the facemask we wear can be a barrier but also a means of protecting one’s health from the spread of the virus and other diseases.

“Ang mask naman natin, it can be a barrier. Hindi lang naman COVID ang iiwasan mo kaya ka nagsusuot nito. Pwede itong proteksyon mula sa usok, pati sa ibang sakit tulad ng tuberculosis. So, kung makikita mo, marami rin talaga siyang benefits,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino further told Radio Veritas that the proper dissemination of information to the people why they need to wear a facemask is also a form of discipline.

“Kaya nga ‘yung conscientization, increasing nung kamalayan na ‘yan ay napakaimportante talaga. Kasi baka isipin na magma-mask lang ako dahil baka may COVID, pero paano ‘yun kapag wala nang COVID, ibig sabihin ‘di na tayo magma-mask? Kung mababa ang iyong resistensya ay gawin mo ‘yung nararapat para sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay at para din sa ating sambayanan,” said Fr. Cancino.

The priest instructed the public to continue to follow the minimum public health standards and vaccination because there are many possibilities of contracting diseases.

Based on the latest report by the Department of Health, currently, there are 8,600 active cases of COVID-19 in the country. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines’ Healthcare Commission (CBCP-ECHC) is encouraging the public to support the Department of Health ( DOH) initiatives and objectives.

The ChikitingLigtas 2023 project, commonly known as the Measles and Rubella Vaccine-Oral Polio Vaccine (MRV-OPV) supplemental immunization effort, aimed to boost childhood vaccination against vaccine- preventable illnesses (VPDs).

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of CBCP-ECHC, believes that it is critical to give additional protection for children in order to shield them from the impacts of communicable diseases.

“Maraming mga parokyang ayon sa iba’t ibang diyosesis ang nakikilahok dito sa Chikiting Ligtas na ito. Kaya para sa akin, ito ‘yung pagpapalaganap ng proper information sa kahalagahan ng ating kabataan. Ito ang paglahok natin para sa pagpapalaganap ng tamang impormasyon sa mga magulang at sa ating buong komunidad,” as stated by Fr. Cancino with Radyo Veritas

The priest admits that the provision of immunizations to children has been hampered by the country’s continuing COVID-19 pandemic, as the government has prioritized the COVID-19 vaccination effort.

Nonetheless, Fr. Cancino told the government that the church will aid the government in telling the public about the ChikitingLigas campaign and its importance for children’s health.

“Kaya tayo sa simbahan, nagpapalaganap tayo ng tamang impormasyon tungkol sa Chikiting Ligtas naito. Marami na rin sa ating mga parokya ang nakikilahok sa mga local government units, rural health units, at municipal health offices para mapalaganap natin itong mga impormasyon. At ‘yung iba nga ay nagiging venue para maging vaccination sites para sa mga bata,”Fr. Cancino explained to Radyo Veritas

Within two weeks of the campaign’s inception, nearly 5,3 million youngsters had received VPD vaccinations, according to DOH figures.

Children aged nine months to five years can receive measles and rubella immunizations, while children aged five and under receive the Polio vaccine.

There were 50,000 documented cases of measles in 2019, resulting in 637 deaths. Four children died from Polio-related causes the same year. (Luis Angelo Sta. Maria/Volunteer Writer/San Felipe Neri Parish)

The healthcare commission of the Catholic church continues to call for the government to take advantage of the COVID-19 vaccination despite the continuous health improvement of society from the pandemic.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC), it is still important to focus on having additional protection even though the rules against COVID-19 are being relaxed.

“Importante talaga ang bakuna para masigurado ang proteksyon natin laban sa COVID-19. Napatunayan naman ‘yan nitong mga nakaraang taon ng pandemya at dahil d’yan nabawasan ‘yung mga kaso ng malalang sintomas ng virus. Sana, i-avail pa rin natin ang COVID-19 vaccine para sa proteksyon ng ating sarili, pati na rin kapwa natin,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino also said that the Department of Health reports that many vaccines will expire this year and remain stored in cold storage facilities.

Since the number of people getting vaccinated and getting booster shots have decreased, there is a risk that the eight million COVID-19 vaccines will go to waste.

According to Rosario Vergeire, Health Officer-in-Charge, more than 15 million vaccines that the DOH expects to expire this year.

She added that the DOH is waiting for the decision of the Food and Drug Administration and vaccine manufacturers for the seven million vaccines to extend their “shelf life.”

“Tatanggalin natin ‘yung almost 7 million na inaantay pa po natin ang decision ng FDA together with the manufacturers who have applied kung ma-re-re-extend natin ‘yung shelf life nila,” said Vergeire.

A total of 44 million vaccines have been wasted throughout the government’s COVID-19 vaccination program, including damaged vaccines caused by fire, temperature, calamities, and other incidents. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

The more common symptoms are fever, body weakness, dizziness, sore throat, and rashes on the face, chest, feet, hands, and even the genitals.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

“Kung mayroon tayong mga sintomas o senyales ng monkeypox, komunsulta kaagad sa doktor o kaya nama’y mas maganda sa public health facility para mas mapagtuunan at mabigyan ng tugon,” he added.

The first case of the monkeypox virus was reported in the Philippines on July 28. On August 25 the fourth case of sickness due to the virus was recorded from a 25-year-old patient without any travel history to countries with monkeypox outbreaks.

Monkeypox is a rare infection first seen in parts of West and Central Africa that is considered a “global health emergency” by the World Health Organization. (Fatima Llanza/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care executive secretary Fr. Dan Cancino, has pointed out how health care workers made a huge contribution in taking care of the sick to help them get cured during this time of the pandemic.

According to him these healthcare workers are instruments of the Lord for the patients to fill them with the light of hope.

“Sa panahon ngayon, ang ating pangangalaga sa maysakit ay nagluluningning na. Sa mga nag-aalaga sa maysakit, sa ating mga carers, caregivers, manggagawa sa kalusugan – sa ospital at sa komunidad, maraming salamat sa malasakit at paghahatid ng liwanag ng ating Panginoon lalong lalo na sa mga dumaranas ng karamdaman,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino acknowledges the sacrifice of healthcare workers and caregivers who offered their time to serve and help cure sick patients from their illnesses.

These past two years of the pandemic, everyone witnessed the valuable contribution of medical frontliners in their response to the contagious and deadly COVID–19.

Some of them lost their lives working to help cure patients and prevent them from catching deadlier diseases,

“We recognize your love and your effort to the sick. Dito natin makikita sa puso ng bawat tao na nandoon pa rin yoong itinatak ng Panginoong Diyos na mangalaga sa kapwa,” according to Fr. Cancino.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

“Kung mayroon tayong mga sintomas o senyales ng monkeypox, komunsulta kaagad sa doktor o kaya nama’y mas maganda sa public health facility para mas mapagtuunan at mabigyan ng tugon,” he added.

The first case of the monkeypox virus was reported in the Philippines on July 28. On August 25 the fourth case of sickness due to the virus was recorded from a 25-year-old patient without any travel history to countries with monkeypox outbreaks.

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care executive secretary Fr. Dan Cancino, has pointed out how health care workers made a huge contribution in taking care of the sick to help them get cured during this time of the pandemic.

According to him these healthcare workers are instruments of the Lord for the patients to fill them with the light of hope.

“Sa panahon ngayon, ang ating pangangalaga sa maysakit ay nagluluningning na. Sa mga nag-aalaga sa maysakit, sa ating mga carers, caregivers, manggagawa sa kalusugan – sa ospital at sa komunidad, maraming salamat sa malasakit at paghahatid ng liwanag ng ating Panginoon lalong lalo na sa mga dumaranas ng karamdaman,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino acknowledges the sacrifice of healthcare workers and caregivers who offered their time to serve and help cure sick patients from their illnesses.

These past two years of the pandemic, everyone witnessed the valuable contribution of medical frontliners in their response to the contagious and deadly COVID–19.

Some of them lost their lives working to help cure patients and prevent them from catching deadlier diseases,

“We recognize your love and your effort to the sick. Dito natin makikita sa puso ng bawat tao na nandoon pa rin yoong itinatak ng Panginoong Diyos na mangalaga sa kapwa,” according to Fr. Cancino.

Fr. Cancino prays that there would be more caretakers with a good heart to serve as inspiration to everyone in helping cure those who are sick.

The CBCP-ECHC shall disseminate, promote and defend the teaching of the Church on the subject of health care that includes in a special way, attention to and concern for the handicapped, the sick, the aged and the dying. It also helps in fomenting the awareness and observance of Church doctrine on health care and animates and assists Dioceses, Parishes, Schools, Religious Communities, Lay Organizations, health care workers and similar entities, in collaboration with other Commissions in the Conference.

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) reminded the faithful to continue to wear a facemask to protect themselves from various types of illness.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the CBCP-ECHC, the facemask we wear can be a barrier but also a means of protecting one’s health from the spread of the virus and other diseases.

“Ang mask naman natin, it can be a barrier. Hindi lang naman COVID ang iiwasan mo kaya ka nagsusuot nito. Pwede itong proteksyon mula sa usok, pati sa ibang sakit tulad ng tuberculosis. So, kung makikita mo, marami rin talaga siyang benefits,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino further told Radio Veritas that the proper dissemination of information to the people why they need to wear a facemask is also a form of discipline.

“Kaya nga ‘yung conscientization, increasing nung kamalayan na ‘yan ay napakaimportante talaga. Kasi baka isipin na magma-mask lang ako dahil baka may COVID, pero paano ‘yun kapag wala nang COVID, ibig sabihin ‘di na tayo magma-mask? Kung mababa ang iyong resistensya ay gawin mo ‘yung nararapat para sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay at para din sa ating sambayanan,” said Fr. Cancino.

The priest instructed the public to continue to follow the minimum public health standards and vaccination because there are many possibilities of contracting diseases.

Based on the latest report by the Department of Health, currently, there are 8,600 active cases of COVID-19 in the country. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines’ Healthcare Commission (CBCP-ECHC) is encouraging the public to support the Department of Health ( DOH) initiatives and objectives.

The ChikitingLigtas 2023 project, commonly known as the Measles and Rubella Vaccine-Oral Polio Vaccine (MRV-OPV) supplemental immunization effort, aimed to boost childhood vaccination against vaccine- preventable illnesses (VPDs).

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of CBCP-ECHC, believes that it is critical to give additional protection for children in order to shield them from the impacts of communicable diseases.

“Maraming mga parokyang ayon sa iba’t ibang diyosesis ang nakikilahok dito sa Chikiting Ligtas na ito. Kaya para sa akin, ito ‘yung pagpapalaganap ng proper information sa kahalagahan ng ating kabataan. Ito ang paglahok natin para sa pagpapalaganap ng tamang impormasyon sa mga magulang at sa ating buong komunidad,” as stated by Fr. Cancino with Radyo Veritas

The priest admits that the provision of immunizations to children has been hampered by the country’s continuing COVID-19 pandemic, as the government has prioritized the COVID-19 vaccination effort.

Nonetheless, Fr. Cancino told the government that the church will aid the government in telling the public about the ChikitingLigas campaign and its importance for children’s health.

“Kaya tayo sa simbahan, nagpapalaganap tayo ng tamang impormasyon tungkol sa Chikiting Ligtas naito. Marami na rin sa ating mga parokya ang nakikilahok sa mga local government units, rural health units, at municipal health offices para mapalaganap natin itong mga impormasyon. At ‘yung iba nga ay nagiging venue para maging vaccination sites para sa mga bata,”Fr. Cancino explained to Radyo Veritas

Within two weeks of the campaign’s inception, nearly 5,3 million youngsters had received VPD vaccinations, according to DOH figures.

Children aged nine months to five years can receive measles and rubella immunizations, while children aged five and under receive the Polio vaccine.

There were 50,000 documented cases of measles in 2019, resulting in 637 deaths. Four children died from Polio-related causes the same year. (Luis Angelo Sta. Maria/Volunteer Writer/San Felipe Neri Parish)

The healthcare commission of the Catholic church continues to call for the government to take advantage of the COVID-19 vaccination despite the continuous health improvement of society from the pandemic.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC), it is still important to focus on having additional protection even though the rules against COVID-19 are being relaxed.

“Importante talaga ang bakuna para masigurado ang proteksyon natin laban sa COVID-19. Napatunayan naman ‘yan nitong mga nakaraang taon ng pandemya at dahil d’yan nabawasan ‘yung mga kaso ng malalang sintomas ng virus. Sana, i-avail pa rin natin ang COVID-19 vaccine para sa proteksyon ng ating sarili, pati na rin kapwa natin,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino also said that the Department of Health reports that many vaccines will expire this year and remain stored in cold storage facilities.

Since the number of people getting vaccinated and getting booster shots have decreased, there is a risk that the eight million COVID-19 vaccines will go to waste.

According to Rosario Vergeire, Health Officer-in-Charge, more than 15 million vaccines that the DOH expects to expire this year.

She added that the DOH is waiting for the decision of the Food and Drug Administration and vaccine manufacturers for the seven million vaccines to extend their “shelf life.”

“Tatanggalin natin ‘yung almost 7 million na inaantay pa po natin ang decision ng FDA together with the manufacturers who have applied kung ma-re-re-extend natin ‘yung shelf life nila,” said Vergeire.

A total of 44 million vaccines have been wasted throughout the government’s COVID-19 vaccination program, including damaged vaccines caused by fire, temperature, calamities, and other incidents. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

Napatunayan naman ‘yan nitong mga nakaraang taon ng pandemya at dahil d’yan nabawasan ‘yung mga kaso ng malalang sintomas ng virus. Sana, i-avail pa rin natin ang COVID-19 vaccine para sa proteksyon ng ating sarili, pati na rin kapwa natin,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino also said that the Department of Health reports that many vaccines will expire this year and remain stored in cold storage facilities.

Since the number of people getting vaccinated and getting booster shots have decreased, there is a risk that the eight million COVID-19 vaccines will go to waste.

According to Rosario Vergeire, Health Officer-in-Charge, more than 15 million vaccines that the DOH expects to expire this year.

She added that the DOH is waiting for the decision of the Food and Drug Administration and vaccine manufacturers for the seven million vaccines to extend their “shelf life.”

“Tatanggalin natin ‘yung almost 7 million na inaantay pa po natin ang decision ng FDA together with the manufacturers who have applied kung ma-re-re-extend natin ‘yung shelf life nila,” said Vergeire.

Fr. Dan Cancino, Executive Secretary of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines – Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) assured the public not be overly fearful of emerging  diseases  after the Department of Health reported 4 recorded cases of monkeypox .

In an interview with Radio Veritas, the priest said that being calm is important, especially knowing how to take care of oneself to prevent any illness.

“Tanggapin natin na ang monkey pox ay totoo. Ito ay nangyayari sa buong mundo at nangyayari din dito sa ating bansa. May mga kaso pero hindi kailangang maging aligaga o maalarma nang napakataas dahil ang mga kaso ng monkeypox dito sa ating bansa ngayon ay kontrolado ng ating Department of Health,” said Fr. Cancino.

The CBCP official urged that the government needs to step up the promotion of information dissemination to help the public gain more knowledge about the effects and symptoms of monkeypox.

The more common symptoms are fever, body weakness, dizziness, sore throat, and rashes on the face, chest, feet, hands, and even the genitals.

Fr. Cancino then reminded the public that it is important to maintain minimum public health standards such as wearing a facemask and following social distancing because monkeypox can be transmitted through coughing or sneezing and skin-to-skin contact.

“Kung mayroon tayong mga sintomas o senyales ng monkeypox, komunsulta kaagad sa doktor o kaya nama’y mas maganda sa public health facility para mas mapagtuunan at mabigyan ng tugon,” he added.

The first case of the monkeypox virus was reported in the Philippines on July 28. On August 25 the fourth case of sickness due to the virus was recorded from a 25-year-old patient without any travel history to countries with monkeypox outbreaks.

According to him these healthcare workers are instruments of the Lord for the patients to fill them with the light of hope.

“Sa panahon ngayon, ang ating pangangalaga sa maysakit ay nagluluningning na. Sa mga nag-aalaga sa maysakit, sa ating mga carers, caregivers, manggagawa sa kalusugan – sa ospital at sa komunidad, maraming salamat sa malasakit at paghahatid ng liwanag ng ating Panginoon lalong lalo na sa mga dumaranas ng karamdaman,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino acknowledges the sacrifice of healthcare workers and caregivers who offered their time to serve and help cure sick patients from their illnesses.

These past two years of the pandemic, everyone witnessed the valuable contribution of medical frontliners in their response to the contagious and deadly COVID–19.

Some of them lost their lives working to help cure patients and prevent them from catching deadlier diseases,

“We recognize your love and your effort to the sick. Dito natin makikita sa puso ng bawat tao na nandoon pa rin yoong itinatak ng Panginoong Diyos na mangalaga sa kapwa,” according to Fr. Cancino.

Fr. Cancino prays that there would be more caretakers with a good heart to serve as inspiration to everyone in helping cure those who are sick.

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Episcopal Commission on Health Care (CBCP-ECHC) reminded the faithful to continue to wear a facemask to protect themselves from various types of illness.

According to Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of the CBCP-ECHC, the facemask we wear can be a barrier but also a means of protecting one’s health from the spread of the virus and other diseases.

“Ang mask naman natin, it can be a barrier. Hindi lang naman COVID ang iiwasan mo kaya ka nagsusuot nito. Pwede itong proteksyon mula sa usok, pati sa ibang sakit tulad ng tuberculosis. So, kung makikita mo, marami rin talaga siyang benefits,” Fr. Cancino told Radio Veritas.

Fr. Cancino further told Radio Veritas that the proper dissemination of information to the people why they need to wear a facemask is also a form of discipline.

“Kaya nga ‘yung conscientization, increasing nung kamalayan na ‘yan ay napakaimportante talaga. Kasi baka isipin na magma-mask lang ako dahil baka may COVID, pero paano ‘yun kapag wala nang COVID, ibig sabihin ‘di na tayo magma-mask? Kung mababa ang iyong resistensya ay gawin mo ‘yung nararapat para sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay at para din sa ating sambayanan,” said Fr. Cancino.

The priest instructed the public to continue to follow the minimum public health standards and vaccination because there are many possibilities of contracting diseases.

Based on the latest report by the Department of Health, currently, there are 8,600 active cases of COVID-19 in the country. (Jheng Prado/RCAM-AOC)

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines’ Healthcare Commission (CBCP-ECHC) is encouraging the public to support the Department of Health ( DOH) initiatives and objectives.

The ChikitingLigtas 2023 project, commonly known as the Measles and Rubella Vaccine-Oral Polio Vaccine (MRV-OPV) supplemental immunization effort, aimed to boost childhood vaccination against vaccine- preventable illnesses (VPDs).

Camillian Father Dan Cancino, executive secretary of CBCP-ECHC, believes that it is critical to give additional protection for children in order to shield them from the impacts of communicable diseases.

“Maraming mga parokyang ayon sa iba’t ibang diyosesis ang nakikilahok dito sa Chikiting Ligtas na ito. Kaya para sa akin, ito ‘yung pagpapalaganap ng proper information sa kahalagahan ng ating kabataan. Ito ang paglahok natin para sa pagpapalaganap ng tamang impormasyon sa mga magulang at sa ating buong komunidad,” as stated by Fr. Cancino with Radyo Veritas

The priest admits that the provision of immunizations to children has been hampered by the country’s continuing COVID-19 pandemic, as the government has prioritized the COVID-19 vaccination effort.

Nonetheless, Fr. Cancino told the government that the church will aid the government in telling the public about the ChikitingLigas campaign and its importance for children’s health.

“Kaya tayo sa simbahan, nagpapalaganap tayo ng tamang impormasyon tungkol sa Chikiting Ligtas naito. Marami na rin sa ating mga parokya ang nakikilahok sa mga local government units, rural health units, at municipal health offices para mapalaganap natin itong mga impormasyon. At ‘yung iba nga ay nagiging venue para maging vaccination sites para sa mga bata,”Fr. Cancino explained to Radyo Veritas

Within two weeks of the campaign’s inception, nearly 5,3 million youngsters had received VPD vaccinations, according to DOH figures.

Children aged nine months to five years can receive measles and rubella immunizations, while children aged five and under receive the Polio vaccine.

There were 50,000 documented cases of measles in 2019, resulting in 637 deaths. Four children died from Polio-related causes the same year. (Luis Angelo Sta. Maria/Volunteer Writer/San Felipe Neri Parish)
