The success of our measures to contain COVID-19 is hinged on your participation. We will get through this together,” the Secretary added.

We are seeing these values at play now as DOH is receiving an influx of support from individuals and organizations who are willing to render assistance in any way they can. Let this be a reminder for all Filipinos to step up to the plate and heed the call for cooperation,”
