 The population of America is 330 Million or 3 times that of the Philippines' 110 people. Our number of infections is 13, 400. America should only be having 3 times of infections at 40,000 but they have 40 times at 1.6 million. Our fatalities in the Philippines is 846 and America should only have 3 times at 2,500. But they have almost 40 times at 96,000.

The same is true in Europe like the UK, France, Italy and Spain with populations between 50 Million to 60Million. Their infections should only be around 7,000 if prorated with our population of 110 Million. But their infections is 35 times at around 250,000. Likewise, their fatalities should only be 500 if pro-rated to our population. But it is 50 times at around 25,000 deaths. Of course, their fatality is higher due to an aging population but still very high.

Even Canada with a population of 38 million or one third (1/3) the Philippines should only have around 5,000 infections. But Canada has 13 times at 65,000 infections. Their fatalities should only 1/3 than ours at 300 but they have 20 times at 6,000 deaths. 

The economies in North America and big economies in Europe including Germany have started to open in early May. Ours will only start this June when the lockdown is completely lifted with public transportation a available. Given the situation cited above, the Philippine Economy should have opened a month earlier in mid-April as originally scheduled. Or not later than May 1, 2020. 

So much damage to the economy and the people have been inflicted in the past two months with the Ignorance and Incompetence of the government. The Lockdown has become the proverbial "cure" that is Worse than the Disease! Do they really have to burn the house to get rid of the pest?

My point is with what had happened in North America and Europe, why are we so Paranoid with the CoronaVirus. Only 13,500 infections and 850 fatalities. Even if the total number of infections peak at 17,000 with 1,000 deaths at 6.0" mortality rate, that is is low compared to the countries cited. Even at 200.000 infections and 1,200 deaths, it is still low. 

In 2019, there were more than 270,000 cases of dengue and 1,200 who died in the Epidemic. In 2018, more than 12,000 died of vehicular accidents. It means the chances of people getting injured and killed in car accidents is higher than with Covid-19 where 90% of the confirmed cases are MILD. 

In 2017, the WHO reported that 75,790 Filipinos died of influenza and pneumonia. Some may be foreigners. My point is why the Paranoia over Covid-19? Let us get on with our lives. If we don't, then myriad Fililinos will suffer "irreparable damage" as medical experts say. Those who are really afraid can stay homes until the vaccine is found next year. But by then, they may no longer be the same persons anymore as they were before the lockdown.

Malacanang claims they have more than enough funds for two months to support their target 18 million families. Not true. After waiting for 5-6 weeks since the lockdown, Only 40% more or less received the cash Subsidy.

Wife of a friend is a Barangay Captain in Puerto Princesa. He confirmed to me that less than 40% received their cash Subsidy via SAP. What is happening is that the Barangay gives a list of beneficiaries but the DSWD only pays about 40% more or less. 

Data in Brgy Esperanza Ibaba in Alfonso Cavite near Tagaytay. Only 37% received their "ayuda." Out of 411 names given by Barangay, DSWD only paid 152. We gave food packs there good for more than 100 beneficiaries last week.

I spoke to wife of our Barangay Captain in Brgy Inchican, Silang, Cavite outside our village in Ayala Westgrove.. Only about 40% received Cash Subsidy from DSWD. She gave round figures. Out of 1600, only 700 got their "Ayuda." Same story in Angeles City Pampanga. It is safe to assume it now happening nationwide!

To begin with 18 million families is enough. The government has to give their financial assistance via SAP to 20 million families Why? We have a population of almost 110 million and the national government needs to help at least 100 Million (20 million families x 5 members per household). No less than one senator said the same three weeks ago. Ping Lacson, I think.

The Philippine Star reported today that less than 10% of the LGUs have completed their SAP payout. Only 104 out 1,632 LGUs. Wow! That is only 7% after 7 weeks of Insane nationwide lockdown. And I hardly read complaints from the barangays and poor beneficiaries.

South Korea has a far worse situation than PH in January and February 2020.  But they acted swiftly and resolutely. They had 10,000 infections when we only had 1,000 in late March. But they managed without any nationwide lockdown like ours. No lockdown in Seoul or the entire country. They focused in Daegu where 65% of the infections were.



Speaking of proper health care, South Korea has an amazing 75% recovery rate compared to PH with a pathetic 8.5%. Probably worse is our very high mortality rate of 7.0% which double the 3.4 % of WHO. South Korea has less than 2.0% mortality rate like Thailand and Malaysia.
 
Singapore,  in spite of its very high infection of at 13,624, has a mortality rate of less than 0.1% at 12 fatalities. PH has about half (1/2) infections that of SG at 7,579  but with 502 fatalities. This is 40 times that of SG.

The Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) published my article today, April 21, 2020, originally entitled " Lockdown & Accountability: They are Playing with Our Lives." I hope that it help enlightens our people on what really happened. From my random survey and observation, 7 out of 10 or 70% of the Filipinos do not know what happened. Worse, they do not seem interested or keen to know. They just want the Lockdown to end and move on with their lives. Perhaps. But there should be ACCOUNTABILITY on those Responsible for the Aftermath of the Luzon Lockdown that effectively included Visayas and Mindanao.



Lockdown & Accountability: They are Playing with Our Lives

Before President Duterte announced the lockdown in Metro Manila on March 12, he was scheduled to visit Boracay, supposedly to promote tourism in the country’s premiere tourist destination. What was the reason for the sudden change from promoting tourism in Boracay to announcing a Metro Manila lockdown?

There was no coronavirus epidemic yet in Metro Manila at the time to justify a lockdown. There were only 52 cases of infection and five fatalities, in a national population of around 110 million. President Duterte did not even take the COVID-19 threat seriously. He did not want to impose a travel ban on China flights even after Wuhan was locked down on Jan. 23, because he said it would be “unfair to China.” He also said “sasampalin ko ang veerus (I’ll slap that virus)” as if it were all a joke.

Senators Risa Hontiveros, Ping Lacson, Ralph Recto, and Joel Villanueva called for a travel ban on China flights after the Wuhan lockdown. In a congressional hearing on Jan. 30, former senator and now Antique Rep. Loren Legarda also reiterated the call for the ban. But Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said a travel ban on China cannot be implemented due to “political and diplomatic repercussions.”

President Duterte eventually imposed a ban on arrivals from China, Macau, and Hong Kong effective Feb. 3. However, what was very disturbing to learn later was that flights from China continued to bring in Chinese nationals, primarily tourists and those working in Pogos who returned to the Philippines from Chinese New Year celebrations in China.

When President Duterte later announced a Luzon-wide lockdown on March 16, there were only 140 cases of infection and fatalities of 11 persons. The Department of Health did not even declare an epidemic, unlike on Aug. 6, 2019, when the department declared a national dengue epidemic after 146,062 recorded cases of dengue and 622 fatalities. The dengue figures further spiked to 271,480 cases and 1,107 deaths by Aug. 31, 2019.

Going back to the question of why the sudden lockdowns in Metro Manila and the entire Luzon: Imagine the President announcing the Metro Manila lockdown on the same day that he was supposed to fly to Boracay to boost tourism there. Two weeks later on March 25, the President still claimed that he “is on top of this situation (COVID-19) at all times.”

An old friend of the President gave me an insight. “The government did not prepare for the coronavirus, hence, the haphazard decision for the lockdown.” On March 11, a day before the Metro Manila lockdown announcement, the World Health Organization (WHO) had declared that COVID-19 has become a worldwide pandemic. The Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases was given the WHO’s projection that the total number of infections in the country could reach 75,000 in five months if nothing was done. The Duterte administration apparently panicked, and thus the lockdown.

President Duterte followed the IATF’s lockdown recommendation due to the frightening projection on probable infections, and also because his administration did not prepare for the containment of the coronavirus. The government was not prepared with the testing kits required for mass testing. Only 1,296 had been tested as of March 20, compared to 15,000 in Vietnam and more than 300,000 tests in South Korea, which have helped flatten their curve.

Mass testing started only on April 14, about three weeks after 140,000 testing kits from China and Singapore arrived. They could have already started earlier and performed contact tracing and quarantine for persons in contact with those infected. This was what South Korea successfully did, but without imposing a lockdown in Seoul or any part of that country.

Those responsible for such neglect must be held accountable to the Filipino people, especially for the infections and fatalities including those of our health care workers. The contagion could have been contained even without a lockdown, if only the Duterte administration had prepared for mass testing much earlier, instead of two months later. The only epidemic we have is the incompetence and stupidity in government.

It is with great sadness that I learned of the demise of my good friend, former Senator Heherson T. Alvarez, who passed away this morning. Together with his wife Cecile Guidote Alvarez, they have been confined at the Manila Doctors Hospital for more than three weeks now. I was looking forward for Sonny and I to do our projects like building his Library and Museum in his hometown in Isabela. He also asked me to write his Biography because he said I am the one who knows him well. We have been friends for 30 years since 1990. I became his Consultant in the Senate on Energy & Environment after I gave him two briefings as Executive Director of the Environmental Network Center, Inc. (ENCI) that I founded. His asking me to be his Adviser even without a referral showed that he believed in Meritocracy or Merit System.

We had dinner last February 27 with retired Justice Antonio T. Carpio after his Lecture at the Ateneo de Manila University. It was a lovely dinner with great food and ambiance. I arranged the meeting with my two friends. The agenda of Sonny that evening, which I knew beforehand, was to convince J. Tony to seek the highest public office. It was an Enchanted Evening. I did not know that it would the last time we will see each other.

Sonny Alvarez was the Last of our Freedom Fighters against the Marcos Regime. He was the 'The Last of the Mohicans.' He fled to America where he sought political asylum in 1973 when Marcos wanted to have him arrested. He was against the Constitution that Marcos wanted to perpetuate himself in power. His brother was later tortured and killed. Sonny was one the youngest delegate to 1971 Constitutional Convention (ConCon). The other young and brilliant delegate was Adolf Azcuna from Zamboanga, who would later become Supreme Court Justice and Chancellor of PHILJA. Adolf is also a dear old friend and were "comrade-in-arms" in MANINDIGAN!

While in exile for 13 years, Sonny Alvarez lobbied in the US Congress and the State Department to withdraw its support to the Marcos regime. In between, he managed to obtain his Masters degree in Public Administration from the Kennedy School of Government in Harvard University. In 1985,He initiated the expose of the Marcos Hidden Wealth in America through the Mercury Post that was later published in the major national newspapers in the US. The Mercury Post won the prestigious Pulitzer Award for Journalism for its series of articles on the Hidden Wealth of President and Mrs. Marcos.

THE only place in Baguio that has retained most of its pine trees and open space is Camp John Hay, the former Rest & Recreation (R & R) destination of the US Armed Forces.  At 5,000 feet above sea level, it is much cooler and has much less humidity than the lowlands. Baguio has a mild climate similar to the many states back home in America.

It is truly a blessing that then President Theodore Roosevelt signed an Executive Order on October 25, 1903 setting aside 695 hectares of land for a military reservation in Benguet province. Without Camp John Hay and the contiguous areas of the Baguio Country Club with its golf course, and the Teachers Camp, the country’s designated summer capital would never be the same.

Other than the major tourism attractions of the Burnham Park, Mines View Park and the Wright Park & Mansion, what really makes – or defines –Baguio is Camp John Hay. Unfortunately, the former American R &R station high up in the Cordilleras is no longer the same as what it used to be.

After its turnover by the US government to the Philippines in July 1991, Camp John Hay became open to Filipinos and the public at large. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the pristine environment and the facilities of the former American facility. However, after the Philippine government awarded a 25-year lease in 1996 (renewable for 25 years) to the Fil-Estate company, it was never the same again.

The redevelopment of the 247 hectares of land inside the former American base by Fil-Estate’s Camp John Hay Development Corporation (CJH DevCor) can be best – or worst – described as elitist and “anti-Filipino.” The places that visitors and residents of Baguio used to go to are no longer accessible to or off-limits to the public.  Worse. some have been  demolished or just left to deteriorate.

The favorite place in Camp John Hay that Filipinos frequent is the elevated area with the view of the Cordillera mountains. This area used to house the former Officers Main Club of the US Armed Forces and the 19th Tee & Tee Bar where you could buy meals and refreshments with a view of the golf course. My family and I loved this area not only because of the food, but also of the lovely one kilometre promenade.

Today, this one-of-a-kind prime area of Camp John Hay is long gone. It is now occupied by the luxurious Manor and the Forest Lodge hotels of the Fil-Invest company under Mr. Robert “Bob” Sobrepeña, together with Executive Vice-President Alfonso “Boysie”Yniquez. They cannot entirely be blamed for the elitist redevelopment because the government allowed them to do so.

The only way you can enjoy walking around the same area is either to be booked at the ritzy Manor hotel or to eat at the high-end fine-dining restaurant. Per our visit last June this year, the landscaped park of the Manor is now poorly-maintained with some areas over-grown with grass and plants and awfully muddy.

Two weeks ago, my family and I visited the Forest Lodge beside the Manor Hotel.  It is most unfortunate that what was taken away from the Filipino people to enjoy has been turned into a parking lot for the hotel guests. This is such a grave injustice to us, Filipinos, who have been oppressed by our government through their sheer greed and/or incompetence!

The wrong that has been done can still and should be rectified by the next president of the Philippines since Pnoy Aquino’s administration is already a hopeless case. The parking lot of Forest Lodge together with the contiguous area at the back of the Manor Hotel can be REDEVELOPED as one integral part of a park open to the people. This can be done without adversely affecting the operations of the two luxury hotels.

What I would like to see is the redevelopment of Camp John Hay when the areas at the back of  Baguio Manor and Forest Lodge are RETURNED to the people for them to enjoy.
While the rectified redevelopment is being undertaken, the old road that goes up and leads to Scout Hill can also and should be made open to pedestrians. The Scout Hill area should be redeveloped to bring back the recreational facilities (there was the mini-golf and skating-rink before) and some food stalls and a restaurant across, which are gone now.

What has become of Scout Hill is that the old white cottages built by the Americans were demolished to give way to the exclusive luxury log cabins and townhouses. Unfortunately, they were not even properly planned and were built too close to each other, creating a high-density area characterized by the congestion of the structures.

What is perhaps even worse is that the Camp John Hay Development Corporation (CJH DevCor) has not bothered to fix the road going up to Scout Hill from the main road. The pavement of the road has severely deteriorated over the past five years and neither the CJH DevCor nor the BDA has done anything to improve it. It is in such pathetic state.

However, the CJH DevCor has asphalt overlayed the circular road where the CJH DevCor office is located. Nearby is the historic Bell House & Amphitheater named after Major General James Franklin Bell who was responsible for many, if not most, of the structures. The Bell House is, of course, of American architecture and furnishings where the American Governor-Generals and other top US officials stayed in Baguio.

One of the greatest sins committed  inside Camp John Hay is the closure of its main entrance gate  that before allowed visitors to just walk in with easy access and  enjoy its pristine environment:  the pine trees, plants and open space. You could roam around the areas near the golf course and enjoy the view of the greenery. These simple pleasures are all gone now with the closure of the main gate and the redevelopment of the golf course.

Instead of just walking to the former American recreational facility, you now have to commute by either taking a taxi via Loakan Road or by taking South Drive all the way down to Baguio Country Club. The closure of the main gate near the city (walking distance from SM Baguio) has made Camp John Hay no longer accessible to many Filipinos.

The other best part of Camp John Hay is the area where CJH DevCor built the Clubhouse for the golf course designed by the world-famous Jack Nicklaus together with the upscale Forest Cabins & Country Homes. However, this area is now off-limits to the public unless you are a member of the golf club or own one of the exclusive houses. It is truly sad to see the Filipino people deprived of the simple pleasure of enjoying just being in Camp John Hay.

Today, there is really not many places to go to and enjoy in the remaining wooded area in Baguio City. Near the entrance from Loakan Road is the Ayala Techno Hub with its building for the CONVERGIS call-center and the retail areas for restaurants. Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) did little architecturally to make its structures blend with the  Baguio environment. They could have done more if they wanted to.

First, ALI used the ugly green-colored roofing! From the Green Valley Club, you can see this roofing eyesore of Ayala. They should have used more of the earth colors like the color of the brown trunk of the pine trees. And to think that Ayala prides itself in having the
Environment as one of the “Three Es” of its Corporate Social responsibility (CSR).

Second, the design of the buildings is just like the ones in Metro Manila, Metro Cebu or in the San-Fernando-Angeles area in Pampanga. There is hardly any attempt by Ayala to make the visitors appreciate the distinct environemt and architecture of the area they have developed.

A good lesson here is that the government must have the Development Guidelines that can include a Conceptual Development Plan (CDP) of the area. The winning bidder cannot be allowed to do whatever it wants just like what happened at Camp John Hay where both the BCDA and the CJH DevCor failed miserably.

IN a span of one year, I have written five articles on the issues concerning Baguio City and its environs. It started with the “Issues on Degradation of Baguio” (MT, 31 May 2014) to which former President Fidel V. Ramos (FVR) promptly responded to since he was mentioned in the said article. In our meeting, FVR clarified what happened during his term and this was discussed in a \subsequent article (MT, 14 June 2014).

I was in Baguio last week to take a short break and there seems to be no end to the saga of issues in the favourite summer capital of the Philippines. From the worsening traffic and air pollution to the suffocating congestion of what is supposed to be a mountain resort city high up in the Cordilleras.

Of course, what aggravates the situation in Baguio and the towns of La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablang and Tuba (BLIST) are the never-ending projects of the Department of Public Works & Highways (DPWH) that are apparently conceived in sin. These public infrastructure projects, as pointed out in the past articles, are not even needed and poorly- implemented by the DPWH and their dubious favoured contractors.

Residents of the BLIST area in Benguet province, as well as visitors to the country’s summer capital, can only shake their heads and wonder why DPWH indulge in such acts of insanity.

One thing for sure is that the present-day INSANITY of the DPWH projects would NEVER have happened under the administration of former President Ramos, who has a civil engineering degree from the US Military Academy in West Point, New York. He would have either lambasted and/or fired the incompetent DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson.

Saga of DWPH insanity in Baguio

Let us begin with the Kennon Road that starts at Camp 1 in Tuba, Benguet and ends at Baguio City. In spite of the hundreds of millions of pesos spent by the DPWH in Benguet province that includes Baguio, the 33-km highland national highway has not been fully paved after five years of the Aquino Daang Matuwid.

You would expect that Camps 1, 2 and 3 in Tuba would been paved with asphalt as part of its regular maintenance program. However, they have NOT done it in the past five years. Instead of doing simple asphalt-overlay on the pavement, the DPWH under Secretary Singson prefers the more expensive and unnecessary “REBLOCKING” that leads to bigger project costs that benefit both the contractors and officials of DPWH.

What has been done is the shameless REBLOCKING starting at Camp 3 in Tuba, Benguet, instead of asphalt-overlay after doing minor repairs on the pavement. Secretary Singson and his Undersecretary Romeo Momo (in charge of Regional Operations) could not care less if their shameless projects caused traffic along Kennon Road. My family and I have been victims of the traffic standstill caused by the on-going construction of DPWH.

About a month ago, there was a landslide along Kennon Road (Camp 6) that was reported in the national newspapers. When we went up to Baguio last week, the repair work had not been finished in three weeks. Not even 50 percent completion! Yet this could have been done and over by now if repairs  had been done by a private sector contractor.

The WORST part is that neither the DPWH contractor nor the District Engineer put even just compacted sand and gravel on the lane where the cars would pass. Thus, with only the soil on earth, it became muddy and made the vehicles crawl to a speed of about 5 kms per hour or less. This caused the traffic jam along Kenon Road last week.

Just what kind of contractors do the DPWH have in the Cordillera Autonomous Region (CAR)? The DWPH contractor that did the  REBLOCKING adjacent to Baguio’s only flyover really did such a lousy job. After tearing down the concrete pavement and concreting it again, they covered a section with asphalt to hide the defective work. Even the repair work on the pavement at the flyover’s approach used asphalt instead concrete
In my column of April 12, I exposed the never-ending insanity of the DWPH  in the summer capital with its REBLOCKING projects. The DPWH demolished one lane of Quezon Hill Road 2 and one lane of Mallare Road on the left side. Looking at the remaining lane of Quezon Hill Road 2, it is obvious that what the DPWH demolished was a well-paved road with asphalt overlay on top of concrete.

Yet the favorite national government agency of PNoy would not do what it is supposed to do. For instance, Magsaysay Avenue should be WIDENED to efficiently connect Baguio City to La Trinidad and ease the traffic congestion. It should be a continuous four-lane highway with sidewalks on both sides for pedestrians.

However, after more than five years of the Aquino administration with billions of pesos spent on public works in Metro Baguio or the BLIST region, Magsaysay Ave. has not been completely widened until today. Yet DPWH is giving priority to REBLOCKING that exacerbates the traffic situation. It is truly amazing how DPWH cannot come up with a “Right Project,” despite  claiming to practice the “5 Rs.”

Likewise, instead of doing simple asphalt overlay along the Baguio – Bontoc Road in front of the Benguet State University (BSU), the DPWH prefers to do REBLOCKING! The DPWH has a project there worth P44,848,444.84 for the “Widening with Drainage & Reblocking on Poor & Bad Sections along the Baguio-Bontoc Rd.” although there are no known flooding issues in front of the BSU campus. Amazing !

Why can’t DPWH prioritize the widening along Magsaysay Ave.  so that it would become a continuous four-lane national highway linking Baguio and La Trinidad? Simple!

The P44.85 Million project was started on Feb. 13, 2015 and was supposed to be completed by August 13, 2015. I forgot to check on its status last week during our short visit. However, it is a short highway of only about one kilometer (less than 1.0 km at K0255 +380 – K0256 + 172). So why should it take six months to finish it?

DPWH is now installing new drainage along major roads in Baguio that are not needed like in Leonard Wood Road and others. They are not needed because the existing drainage systems are still functioning. But DPWH has demolished sidewalks and removed the existing concrete pipes (600 mm or 2.0 ft in diameter) only to replace them with a bigger diameter pipe (900 mm or 3.0 ft) that is not needed.

The topography of the Leonard Wood and other roads will make the rain-water flow down the slope of the roads and NOT to the sides of the roads where the new concrete pipes are  being installed. In short, the new drainage pipes will be lucky to catch 20 percent of the rainfall that will flow to the gutter and into the drainage grates of the curb.

It would be interesting to ask the DPWH for their scientific basis or justification.  For sure, the DPWH District Office and/or DPWH-CAR did not even undertake any forensic investigations to justify the INSANITY with their projects. “Forensic investigation” refers to the determination of the cause of the problem and the solution(s) address them. There was NO Problem to begin with!
