IATF TO USE FOOD PANDA, GRAB FOOD FOR COVID-19 VACCINE DISTRIBUTION

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – When the Philippines finally receives its Covid-19 vaccines, it goes without saying that an efficient system of distribution is crucial to make sure Filipinos are inoculated in a safe and timely manner.

This early, the Inter-Agency Task Force for Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) is already putting in place a fool-proof distribution system to ensure that no Filipino will be left out.

Vaccine Czar Carlito Galvez, Jr., told The Adobo Chronicles that IATF has signed a deal with food delivery firms FoodPanda and GrabFood to utilize their quick and efficient delivery services to get the vaccines in the arms of all Filipinos.

Galvez noted that the firms’ instant delivery services have proven to be very reliable. Customers have praised both FoodPanda and GrabFood for their amazing food delivery time of 30 minutes or less.

Kudos to IATF for yet another brilliant strategy!

Philippines: Live Births Could Exceed Senior Citizen Population

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines’ senior citizens now comprise more than 10 percent of the total population — 10 million to be exact.

But things could abruptly change beginning in 2021 when live births could exceed the senior population.

The reason? The community quarantine imposed by the government due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It’s been nine months since the community quarantine was first imposed in Luzon and eventually nationwide, because of Covid-19.

It’s that time when live births are due — babies conceived at the beginning of the quarantine.

We’ll just have to wait for the actual live birth numbers this month.
