    By Tita C. Valderama  |  Jan 03, 2022 1:06 PM

    With a Covid-19 death in the family, the unthinkable in Philippine life has happened. No wakes, and not even a last look and a last goodbye. Cremation must be done within 12 hours of death. Only an urn is handed back to the family. Such is the reality of the pandemic amongst us.

    By VERA Files  |  Nov 15, 2021 5:32 PM

    Habang tinitingnan ng gobyerno ang tatlong araw na National Vaccination Drive sa huling bahagi ng buwang ito, muling binuksan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang isyu kung legal ba para sa mga negosyo na tanggihan ang mga hindi nabakunahang aplikante sa trabaho.

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: FB Page FALSELY claims children have “natural immunity” against COVID-19

    By VERA Files  |  Nov 12, 2021 7:47 PM

    The Department of Health (DOH) on Nov. 8 denounced the claim. “Maaari pa ring makakuha ng COVID-19 at ma-ospital ang mga bata dahil dito, at maaari rin nila maipasa sa ibang tao” (Children can still be infected with COVID-19 and be hospitalized, and also transmit the virus to others), the DOH said in a statement.

    Pandemic or not, 2022 polls should push through

    By Tita C. Valderama  |  Sep 20, 2021 12:31 PM

    The still rising number of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections may be a perfect excuse to call for resetting the date of the May 9, 2022 elections but the Commission on Elections (Comelec) has consistently warned against it.
