Vaccine inequality. Even if we do boosters everyday on our end, for as long as there are some other people who don't even get a first dose, COVID is just going to keep on mutating.
Meaning, the virus keeps on getting stubborn and much more stronger. Omicron variant is now spreading fast. Let us all be concerned of our health. Be one of the health advocates. Let's get vaccinated. Protect yourselves, protect your loved ones.

Governor Gwendolyn Garcia led the launch of the last leg of the R’ Cebu Experience at Robinsons Galleria Cebu today, after about six months since the first staging of the trade fair in January this year.

The Cebu Provincial Government is eyeing to sustain its partnership with Robinsons Galleria management for the R’ Cebu Experience, a trade exhibit which showcases the best local products of the island.

The governor asked the Provincial Tourism Office to start planning on how the Capitol can sustain this program with the Robinsons team.

The R’ Cebu is among the programs of the Provincial Government for the micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) sector to help them recover their businesses amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Garcia noted that the six-month run of the R’ Cebu has been one of the bold moves made by the Capitol, considering the holding trade exhibits amid the pandemic has become an “unheard” thing already.

In an effort to restore the vibrancy of the business sector in Cebu, the trade program was launched, joining other economic-recovery efforts of the Provincial Government such as the Lakbay Lokal, Sugbo Negosyo, and Sugbusog programs.

“Over here in Cebu, because we are united and because we know how to move on and move forward, surely the rest of the country must now accept the fact that in the entire Philippines –among entire 81 provinces – Cebu is number one again,” the governor said in her speech. | (Photos: Tonee Despojo)

Another repeat, a successful activity held at Brgy. Owak gym. The reasons why? Health benefits of donating blood include good health and reduced risk of cancer and hemochromatosis. It helps in reducing the risk of damage to liver and pancreas. Donating blood may help in improving cardiovascular health and reducing obesity.

It turns out that donating blood doesn’t just benefit recipients. There are health benefits for donors too! On top of the benefits that come from helping others. Our bravest 1st councilor, for the very last one to donate, Sb Magett Cece who marked the 100th representative to donate blood. SIOUX Brothers, TAU GAMMA AND ALPHA KAPPA RHO who had the most number to donate and 4 P's members who in return helped by participating this blood letting activity.
