MANILA, Philippines — A four-year tranche salary increase for government workers that takes effect this year will only result in a daily wage hike of P24 during the first phase, according to unions of government employees. Based on their computation, the first phase of the salary increase would mean an additional P530 a month for Salary Grade 1 Step 1 workers. When divided into 22 working days, this would mean a daily increase of P24, not enough for a kilo of rice. “We are calling on our fellow government workers to unite and continue the fight for a better and more livable salary for everyone,” the groups said. —Dempsey Reyes

If individuals pay better attention to hygiene and take personal responsibility, he said, the benefits may be better than chasing vaccines targeting new variants. Meanwhile, the Centre for Health Protection is offering a 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in its vaccination programs, replacing the current 13-valent vaccine, which covers fewer kinds of pneumococcal serotypes. The CHP said that children currently receiving PCV13 can switch to PCV15 for their next dose directly. As such, those elderly who have received PCV13 may not necessarily need the PCV15 again, as the 23vPPV can extend protection to other serotypes. Lam also highlighted that high-risk individuals who are not vaccinated are at risk of complications, including otitis media, pneumonia and meningitis.

Pronouns and parodiesSome days, I swear, when I open my Facebook feed, I’m tempted to immediately switch it off, drowning in a flood of vexatious opinion certain to trigger my worst reflexes. Some will call this silly wokeness, but in UP, we take our students’ preferred pronouns and names seriously as a sign of respect for the person. Staff don’t sit for a chummy chat with customers. Some of them may be hypocrites, but I’m sure many or most aren’t – and there are hypocrites as well (and worse) among apostates and non-believers. Even if you later changed your mind after listening to all the learned explanations (to some, I’m sure, excuses), the fact is, you saw something you didn’t like.
