EDITORYAL – Bantayan, mamemeke ng vaccination cards
Nakasaad sa vaccination card ang first dose at second dose ng bakunang ginamit at kung kailan isinagawa ang mga ito. Isa na ngayon ang vax cards sa pinakamahalagang bagay na dapat ay nasa bag at pitaka ng sinuman. Kapag wala ito, hindi makakapasok sa anumang establishment – malls, groceries, palengke at maski sa mga barbershop. Hindi rin makakapasok ang mga bibiyahe patungong Metro Manila at iba pang bayan at lungsod na nasa Alert Level 3. Sa police checkpoint, kailangang magpakita ng vax card ang mga motorista. Ayon sa Philippine National Police (PNP) hindi papayagang makapasok ang mga motoristang walang vax card sa mga lugar na nasa Alert Level 3. Kaya ang paalala ng PNP, huwag kalimutan ang vax card.

The Straits Times says
Celebrate, yes, but stay cautious too
The breaches of safe management rules by revellers who gathered on New Year’s Eve in Clarke Quay have illustrated just why the authorities have seen fit to regularly remind the public about the need for caution and vigilance as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to rage. If last year was dominated by the Delta variant, this year might well be that of the Omicron strain, which is far more infectious than its predecessor. Under these circumstances, it was foolish that hundreds were involved in a gathering, whether spontaneously or loosely organised, that the authorities have described as a potential superspreader event. Singapore has navigated the pandemic well and the situation has been stable.
While it is understandable that people want to mark special occasions, the gathering last Friday gave cause for worry especially as Omicron looms. The strain already accounts for 17 per cent of coronavirus cases here. The social psychology behind the event should be taken into account so that future incidents during festive periods can be better managed without the need for punitive intervention by the authorities. While people may have felt it was all right to celebrate an event that promised, metaphorically, to provide them with a break from the social restrictions that have become habitual over the past two years, they had to also realise that these are not normal times.

Enforce the pl
astic ban
Jan 1 was the first day the ban on four types of plastic waste came into effect, which was in line with the cabinet resolution made in February last year. The ban is just one move under a 20-year plan between 2018-2037 called the “Roadmap on Plastic Waste Management”.
Under the ban, plastic bags of less than 36 microns in thickness (widely known as single-use plastic bags); polystyrene-made food containers; plastic cups of less than 100 microns in thickness and plastic straws are supposed to be prohibited.
