President Duterte expressed confidence that the Philippines will see better and brighter days ahead if the public will support the government in fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

Malacañang said the Philippines will use the same formula in preventing the entry of the Lambda variant of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), particularly its PDITR (prevention, detection, isolation, treatment, reintegration) strategy.

Malacañang reiterated its appeal to the public to continue following the required health protocols and to stay at home if possible following reports of an uptick of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases in different areas and the local transmission of the dreaded Delta variant.

Malacañang said the government will implement more strictly basic health protocols and response efforts in case the dreaded Delta variant of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) arrived in the country.

Malacañang reminded the public to continue following the government’s battle cry “Mask, Hugas, Iwas” (Face mask, handwashing, physical distancing) after it was reported that an existing deadlier and more infectious variant of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has mutated.

Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said he and Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas were still friends after the latter told him to watch his mouth when talking about the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation in different localities in the country.
