Statement | 22 August 2024

The DOH Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) reported today to Health Secretary Teodoro J. Herbosa that sequencing of the Monkeypox virus (MPXV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sample from the 10th Mpox case of the Philippines showed it to be of MPXV Clade II.

Mpox (the disease) is caused by the Monkeypox virus (abbreviated as "MPXV") species of the Orthopoxvirus genus, first discovered among laboratory primates in Denmark in 1958 and later on first observed in humans in 1970. The disease was renamed, the virus was not. There are two major groups of MPXV, called "clades" (plural; singular = clade).

MPXV clade I has been observed mainly in the Congo basin (central Africa), and has been described in the 1980s as having a mortality rate of ranging from 1% to 10%. Clade I is more likely to cause severe illness and death, especially in the immunocompromised.

Clade I has two subclades: Ia, and Ib. Clade Ia is endemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), with a case fatality rate (CFR) of 3.6%. Meanwhile, clade Ib is a new strain of MPXV responsible for the current (2024) outbreak in the DRC and nearby countries. According to WHO, "there is, as yet, insufficient information available to fully characterize mpox severity due to clade Ib as data are emerging and, so far, few deaths were recorded, precluding age-stratified analyses."

Meanwhile, MPXV clade II has been observed mainly in West Africa. It is milder than clade I, with a mortality rate reported from less than 1% to 4%. Clade II caused the 2022 mpox global outbreak. Recent cases of mpox detected in the Philippines thus far are by MPXV clade II, with zero deaths.

"We found the milder MPXV clade II in the 10th mpox case in the Philippines. Let us continue to be alert but not alarmed, preventing mpox spread by avoiding close and intimate physical contact. Clean your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based sanitizers. Avoid skin-to-skin contact," said Sec. Herbosa.

Life lessons I wish I knew years ago:

1 lost money can be found; lost time is lost forever
2 to learn, unlearn, relearn and then change yourself is a superpower
3 you are not your job
4 networking is about giving
5 the best teacher is your last mistake
6 good manners is as important as good education
7 do not take your good health for granted
8 be a better friend and value relationships
9 if you are waiting for a title to lead, you are not ready to lead
10 a work sponsor is more important than a mentor
11 a good story is data with a soul
12 stop worrying about what others think of you
13 if you want an easier life, work on harder problems
14 best teachers are life long students
15 imposter syndrome is real, and a good thing
16 fight against a sense of entitlement
17 half the battle is showing up
18 love and cherish your parents by giving them your time
19 success is not accidental
20 the best views are there for those who love the climb
21 lucky people work harder
22 takers may end up with more, but givers sleep better at night
23 memorizing is not learning
24 it is okay to look back, just don’t stare
25 knowing is not acting - I can > IQ
26 straight roads do not make great drivers
27 good listeners hear the unsaid (listen with your eyes)
28 be the person that you want to follow
29 do not limit your contribution to a job description 30 take care of your parents - the best gift that you can give yourself
31 customer service is not a department
32 in the long run, the optimists create the future
33 never ruin an apology with excuses
34 salary is for expenses. equity is wealth - do not rent your time.
35 do not take a caring boss, joyful work or steady income for granted
36 as you get older, you love your parents more
37 challenge assumptions, starting with your own
38 we learn more from disagreements
39 best gift you can give yourself is quality time with parents
40 the older you get the less you care about what others think of you
41 be a good person but do not waste time trying to prove it
42 be comfortable with saying ‘I don’t know’ - there are no experts of tomorrow
43 being self-aware is a key to learning and growth; know yourself
44 first, invest in yourself, then help others win
45 if the answer is no, do not say maybe or yes
46 Don’t just translate, write something new and original; write for yourself - writing improves your thinking
47 It’s more important to do the right thing than to win an argument
48 do not buy your children what you never had, teach them what you never knew
49 begin with the end in mind
50 to make progress on your to-do list, you must also keep a to-don’t list
51 leave everything and everyone better than you found them
52 be kind and polite to everyone

53 Here’s how luck finds you:
—Work harder than expected
—Stay teachable
—Give without expecting a get
—Read and write more
—Show up on time
—Focus on your customers
—Develop good manners
—Be humble
—Be kind and generous
—Surround yourself with smarter people

54 The bosses we remember:
—provided us a safe space to grow
—opened career doors
—defended us when we needed it
—recognized and rewarded us
—developed us as leaders
—inspired us to stretch higher
—led by example
—told us our work mattered
—forgave us when we made mistakes

55 The older you get, the more quiet you become. Life humbles you so deeply as you age. You realize how much nonsense you’ve wasted time on.

56 Hire based on high rate of learning and good judgment
57 straight lines do not make great drivers
58 stand in the middle of the road for too long and you may get hit from both sides - be decisive
59 if you do not know the answer, it is okay to say 'I don't know, but I will find out'

60 do not follow or admire mean people - be the person that you would want to follow

61 the decisions you made 5-10 years ago shaped where you are today; decisions you make now will shape where you’ll be in 5-10 years

PUBLIC ADVISORY
June 29, 2021

Now that we are approaching Academic Year 2021-2022, the Commission on Higher Education and UniFAST get a multitude of inquiries on how to apply for the Tertiary Education Subsidy.

We would like to inform the public and our stakeholders that TES is a grant-in-aid program of the government that is being implemented by CHED and UniFAST through the higher education institutions (HEIs).

We hereby advise to exercise self-restraint and caution against individuals or groups claiming to be representatives of UniFAST. These entities will try to make an offer to facilitate the application of an interested student or promise to provide a guaranteed TES slot. Do not engage in any transaction requiring you to pay a certain amount because the application for TES is FREE.

Please be reminded that the TES follows a prioritization scheme and new applicants undergo the validation and verification process to qualify as a TES grantee. All state universities and colleges (SUCs), CHED-recognized local universities and colleges (LUCs), and private higher education institutions with an existing memorandum of agreement with the Commission and UniFAST are the only ones eligible to implement TES.

The call for TES application will open once the first semester of AY 2021-2022 starts. This will be announced on CHED and UniFAST websites at https://ched.gov.ph/ and http://unifast.gov.ph/ with the following social media accounts .gov, , .

For any fraudulent activity, you may report it to the Commission and its Regional Offices or to the UniFAST Secretariat so we can respond appropriately. Email us at [email protected] or [email protected] and call (+63) 928 551-1317 or (+63) 998 985 2955.
