    500% increase. CEBU CITY 101 new cases.
    Rosy Palm is probably safe, if necessary.

    Palm (a Belgian beer) is always on my shopping list but how hard I am looking for, so far never see it in the 4 most well known supermarkets in town. So wondering if Rosy Palm, after all same family name, knows better where I have to look.

    I drank Stella Artois while living in Belgium.
    Rosy Palm is for holding your beer as well as a personal friend if needed

    It is a very sad statistic indeed, but it's also not really new.
    New cases worldwide have been on a downward path for at least the last 25 years, with the Philippines as a notable exception. New cases here have been on the rise all that time.
    I would say it is a little late for the DOH to call for an emergency declaration now.

    It has nothing to do with the food of course there, but the disco can be a place to hang out if you can stand loud music. Going there for other purposes such as a one night stand is a tricky business and don't be shocked of a surprise that will show up for immediate medical attention.

    They will never stop sexual intercourse so they need to get people using condoms - so how will that happen in a country where a load on a smartphone is the most urgent of needs. And will a Catholic country give free condoms to the most vulnerable groups?
