00:00 The number of pneumonia cases in the Philippine General Hospital in Manila is increasing.

00:05 PGH has a call for you.

00:07 Watch this.

00:09 Now that the weather is cold, Stella Almelor's vendor noticed that her grandchildren are sick.

00:18 Even her youngest grandson, who was only four months old when she joined her in selling, is also sick.

00:23 My grandchildren, including my son, are sick.

00:30 Especially in Bulacan, my son and my grandchildren are there.

00:35 Almost all of them are sick there.

00:37 Stella doesn't let her grandchildren see the specialists.

00:40 It is important to check up, especially if the symptoms are recurring.

00:44 More than four months since the COVID-19 State of Public Health Emergency was lifted in the country,

00:49 the number of pneumonia cases in the Philippine General Hospital in Manila is increasing.

00:53 According to the PGH, many patients are intubated or put in a tube attached to a ventilator to let air pass through.

01:01 The problem is that if you are intubated, the treatment will last long.

01:07 Because of their severe pneumonia, they cannot easily enter the hospital because the ICU is full.

01:16 There are also patients who have a fever and are getting old.

01:19 The only thing that can reduce the number of cases is cancer, stroke, heart disease, and dialysis.

01:30 We are talking to the LGU hospitals about the pneumonia.

01:34 They are the ones who promised to provide the PGH specialty services.

01:42 In the first three months of this year, more than 41,000 pneumonia cases were reported across the country.

01:48 More than 200,000 cases were reported for the whole of 2022.

01:52 According to Dr. Jonas Del Rosario, pneumonia is a sign of difficulty breathing,

01:57 tightness of the lungs, and continuous or non-recovering fever.

02:00 For both children and adults, it is a big help if they can receive the PGH Pneumococcal vaccine.

02:09 This is a fight against a common source of pneumonia, streptococcus pneumonia.

02:16 When the virus entered the country, the health department also observed the increase of influenza-like illnesses or ILI,

02:21 which are infectious infections caused by various types of bacteria.

02:25 The number of reported cases from January to October 13 this year is 45% higher than the number reported at the same time last year.

02:34 Although the number of cases has decreased since November,

02:37 according to the DOH, it is still better to wear a face mask and to get vaccinated.

02:42 According to Dr. Ronje Insolante, aside from the change of weather,

02:46 the increase of respiratory illnesses is possible due to the so-called immunity gap.

02:51 The immunity gap is a global phenomenon, Melo.

02:55 Because after the pandemic, the vaccine-preventable diseases, including influenza, pneumonia, measles,

03:04 the vaccination poverty is really decreasing in vulnerable populations, including children.
