Manila, Philippines - 20 out of 45 employees of Department of Education (DepEd) in Catbalogan, Samar experienced carbon monoxide poisoning from fumes emitted by a generator set they were using for their activity as there was power shortage.



The mentioned casualty is among the reported incidents by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Operations Center (NDRRMC) today, April 20 in observance of Holy Week 2014.

According to NDRRMC, at least 36 incidents were monitored in different regions nationwide.

A total of 23 dead and 99 injured persons were reported due to various accidents while 11 were hospitalized due to carbon monoxide poisoning and 3 survived near drowning incident.

A tally of incidents from NDRRMC shows that death toll was due to vehicular, drowning and fire incidents.

NDRRMC Executive Director Eduardo del Rosario elaborated that carbon monoxide poisoning in Samar was happened around 11:00AM on April 16. The participants of DepEd orientation on Rationalization Plan held at the 2nd floor of the DepEd Building in Catbalogan City, felt dizzy and nauseated after inhaling significant levels of carbon monoxide.

The participants who complained difficulty of breathing, dizziness and chest pain were rushed to the Samar Provincial Hospital. 11 were admitted while 9 were treated as outpatient by the hospital.

Manila, Philippines - Journalist Tony Calvento revealed today, April 20, 2014 a 'big breaking news' on Vhong Navarro case versus Deniece Cornejo, Cedric Lee and his group as he called it as an Easter gift to all supporters of the mauled comedian.

(John Doe) who went with Zimmer Raz and Bernice Lee was the one holding the duct tape in CCTV footage

According to Calvento, the latest development could very well be the 'tipping point' on Vhong's case.

"I met with someone who was trying to facilitate the surrender and turning as State Witness of someone from the accused on the Vhong Navarro case.", Calvento revealed.

Calvento is referring to the identity of the JOHN DOE ( legal term to people whose identity remains anonymous) who went with Zimmer Raz and Bernice Lee. He was the one holding the duct tape as viewed through the CCTV in the elevator.

Calvento was given the chance to talk to this person through someone who was trying to facilitate the surrender of one of the accused.

"He even made me talk to the suspect on the phone and this person with a deep voice kept on crying and asked me to help him. He asked me to help give him protection," Calvento stated.

"He was very scared of Cedric Lee and I said that Sec. Leila Delima can assign NBI agents to do guard him," the veteran broadcaster added.

Calvento said the testimony of the alleged state witness is explosive. The details where, what time and when the planning of the setting up of Vhong Navarro was given to him. The place where they had dinner was also revealed.

Calvento said he was supposed to turn in the suspect last Wednesday at the latest but said he was going to do that after the Holy Week.

The respected journalist posted series of updates on his Facebook page. On Friday, as he announced the big news, his followers thought it's about the warrant of arrest for the serious illegal detention case.

The journalist clarified on Saturday that warrants of arrests are not issued on holidays and that includes Holy Thursday up to Easter Sunday.

DOJ Secretary Leila de Lima confirmed last Monday that Taguig Municipal Trial Court (MTC) Branch 74 has issued arrest warrants for grave coercion case against Cedric Lee, Deniece Cornejo and five others filed by actor-host Vhong Navarro.

Though the warrant of arrest is bailable, the accused which also includes Bernice Lee, Simeon "Zimmer" Raz, Jose Paolo Calma, Ferdinand Guerrero, and Jed Fernandez decided not to post bail.

The warrant effectively prevents Lee and company from leaving the country. However, Guerrero tried to leave the Philippines on April 14 but the Bureau of Immigration (BI) didn't allowed him to leave unless he get a clearance from BI and Deportation Commissioner Sigfried Mison.

Calvento also revealed: "If things go well the person even added that one of the accused who had managed to slip out of the country is willing to come back and turn the tables on Cedric and the others."

Manila, Philippines - Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Enrique Ona on Saturday, April 19, 2014 said that the male Filipino nurse who was tested positive for the new deadly virus Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in Abu Dhabi was tested negative 10 days after the testing date in UAE.



The Filipino nurse who was recently arrived in the country for the Holy Week was named by DOH as the Index Passenger of Etihad Airlines flight EY 0424. The flight arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) last Tuesday afternoon, April 15.

Task Force MERS-CoV and the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) conducted retest on the suspected carrier of MERS-CoV last April 16. Ona pointed out that the time he was traveling from Abu Dhabi to Manila last Tuesday, 15 April - a seven-hour flight -he was still deemed a positive carrier of the MERS-Corona Virus, and that all of his fellow passengers were exposed to him, including any number that may been in close contact with him for the duration of the flight, were at risk of infection.

DOH Secretary Enrique Ona gave updates in a press conference for MERS-CoV disease

The Index Passenger is one of the more than 400 passengers of that flight, including 45 foreign nationals. DOH said they were able to track him while he was on his way home and requested his relatives and well-wishers to subject themselves to testing and medical observation at a DOH regional hospital.

"Of the 415 passengers of EY 0424, we have been able to trace and contact 119 of them. Of those contacted, 72 have been tested; 40 of those tested yielded negative results," Secretary Ona said in the press statement.

"We are greatly encouraged by the negative results obtained on the Index Passenger and all other passengers that have been tested. ", Ona added.

The Task Force MCV will continue to trace and contact the other passengers of EY 0424. Those contacted will be fetched by the Regional Epidemiology Service Unit and brought to the nearest DOH or District Hospital. Specimens from tested passengers are then sent by courier to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) in Muntinlupa City and in Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC) in Cebu City.

Ona also clarified that there is still no epidemic or outbreak of MERS-Corona Virus in the Middle East or the Arabian Peninsula. That is why the World Health Organization (WHO) has not imposed travel restrictions to and from the Middle East.

As a health precaution, Ona approved the issuance of a Bureau of Quarantine alert bulletin to those travelling from the Middle East and through our international airports so that those who may be affected by the MERS-Corona Virus will be given prompt assistance.

"As there are tens of thousands of Filipinos working in the Middle East and hundreds of them who travel to the Middle East or return home from their jobs there daily, it is important that their families, relatives, friends, neighbors and all members of their local communities fully understand all that must be known about MERS-CoV," Ona emphasized.

DOH is calling the attention of Filipinos who have returned recently from the Middle East to report to the nearest hospital if they experience symptoms of the MERS-Corona Virus which are similar to the indications of flu, including fever with cough, cold, or sneezing.

The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a highly fatal respiratory illness presenting as an influenza-like illness characterized by fever, cough and often with diarrhea. There is limited data on its transmission but possibly through direct contact of household members and health care providers exposed to confirmed cases. Source and transmission data remain limited though. The diagnosis is made through serology and/or DNA tests and the treatment remains supportive.
