President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has ordered the retention of the current Covid-19 alert level system for the time being.

And in his concurrent capacity as agriculture chief, Marcos also said he was keen on entertaining offers from at least five countries for government-to-government deals for the country to acquire cheap fertilizers that would help cushion the impact of increasing food prices.

And if you’re wondering how to address Vice President Sara Duterte, who is also the Education Secretary, Duterte said it was neither VP or Secretary, and simply “Inday Sara”.

The Chinese government also allayed fears that it has abandoned projects it had pledged to help undertake in the country through loans, and said that at least three railway projects were “already underway”.

These are among the top stories this Tuesday afternoon, July 19, 2022.
