Hi Edward, Here are the most important news that you need to know. While other business owners scrambled to prepare to reopen at short notice, Dan Saulo, a cofounder of a vegan restaurant, decided he would wait it out for another week—just in case the government changes its mind again. The country’s target for achieving herd immunity would be pushed to the first quarter of 2022 because of a global shortage in COVID-19 vaccines, with supply already short for this month, Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III said. Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua said the Delta variant would also require vaccinating more than 70 percent of the population to get herd immunity.

A Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency official earlier said the drugs were smuggled into Zambales from international waters. A fisherfolk leader said some of the ships were last seen in San Narciso and San Felipe towns. A day after the government made the surprise announcement that Metro Manila—the epicenter of the still-raging COVID-19 pandemic—would revert to looser quarantine protocols and shift to “granular” instead of sweeping lockdowns from Sept. 8 to 30, it suddenly backtracked and decided to retain the modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) status until Sept. 15. |
