What is “Knock-out Tigdas (KOT) 2007?

“Knock-out Tigdas 2007” is a sequel to the 1998 and 2004 “Ligtas Tigdas” mass measles immunization campaigns. This is the second follow-up measles campaign to eliminate measles infection as a public health problem.

What is the over-all objective of the Knock-out Tigdas?

The Knock-out Tigdas is a strategy to reduce the number or pool of children at risk of getting measles or being susceptible to measles and achieve 95% measles immunization coverage. Ultimately, the objective of KOT is to eliminate measles circulation in all communities by 2008.

What does measles elimination mean?

Measles elimination means:

1. Less than one (1) measles case is confirmed measles per one million population.

2. Detects and extracts blood for laboratory confirmation from at least 2 suspect measles cases per 100,000 populations.

3. No secondary transmission of measles. This means that when a measles case occurs, measles is not transmitted to others.

Who should be vaccinated?

All children between 9 months to 48 months old ( born October 1, 2003 – January 1,2007) should be vaccinated against measles.

When will it be done?

Immunization among these children will be done on October 15-November 15, 2007.

How will it be done?

Vaccination teams go from door-to-door of every house or every building in search of the targeted children who needs to be vaccinated with a dose of measles vaccines, Vitamin A capsule and deworming drug.

All health centers, barangay health stations, hospitals and other temporary immunization sites such as basketball court, town plazas and other identified public places will also offer FREE vaccination services during the campaign period.

My child has been vaccinated against measles. Is she exempted from this vaccination campaign?

No, she is not. A previously vaccinated child is not exempted from the vaccination campaign because we cannot be sure if her previous vaccination was 100% effective.

Chances are a vaccinated child is already protected, but no one can really be sure. There is 15% vaccine failure when the vaccine is given to 9 months old children. We want to be 100% sure of their protection.

What strategy will be used during the campaign?

It is a door-to-door strategy. The team goes from one-household to another in all areas nationwide.

My child had measles previously, is he exempted in this campaign?

There are many measles-like diseases. We cannot be sure exactly what the child had, especially if the illness occurred years ago. Anyway, the vaccination will not harm a child who already had measles. The effect will also be like a booster vaccination. The previously received measles immunization has formed antibodies, with the booster shot it will strengthened the said antibodies.

Is there any overdose, if my child receives this booster immunization?

Antibodies in the blood which provide protection against disease decrease as the child grows older. Booster vaccinations are needed to raise protection again. Measles vaccination during the said campaign will be a booster vaccination for a previously vaccinated child. The child’s waning internal protection will increase. The child will not harm because there is no vaccine overdose for the measles vaccine. The measles vaccine is even known to enhance overall immunity against other diseases.

What will happen to my child after receiving the measles immunization?

Normally, the child will have slight fever. The fever is a sign that the child’s vaccine is working and is helping the body develop antibodies against measles.

The best thing to do when the child has fever is to give him paracetamol every four (4) hours. Give him plenty of fluids and breastfeed the child. Ensure that the child has enough rest and sleep.

What will happen after the “Knock-out Tigdas 2007”?

To interrupt measles circulation by 2008, ALL children ages 9 months will continue to routinely receive one dose of the measles vaccine together with the vaccines the other disease of the childhood like polio, diphtheria, pertussis, etc. All children with fever and rashes have to be listed and tested to verify the cause of the infection.

ALL 18 months old children will be given a second dose of measles immunization to really ensure that these children are protected against measles infection.

What other services will be given?

Vitamin A capsule will be given to all children 6 months to 71 month old and deworming tablet to 12 months to 71 months old nationwide.

Additional messages:

• Once the child is vaccinated, the posterior upper left earlobe will be marked with gentian violet, so do not try to remove for the purpose of validation.
• Houses will also be marked, so do not erase.

“I heard that there are cases where the child who was vaccinated who became seriously ill or died. Is this true?

Measles vaccine is very safe. Minor reactions may occur such as fever but in an already immunizes child, this may not occur. The most serious and RARE adverse event following immunization is anaphylaxis which is inherent on the child, not on the vaccines.

The reason for the ongoing support is that the White House feels that Musharraf continues to be the best hope for US interests with regards to the War on Terrorism. If Musharraf is ousted, the Bush administration fears, it’ll become increasingly easy for Al Qaeda and the Taliban to regroup in Pakistan and to stage attacks, both against targets in the Middle East and against Western targets.

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice explained that, although the US would “have to review the situation with aid,” Bush’s first concern is “to protect America and protect American citizens by continuing to fight against terrorists.” “That means we have to be very cognizant of the counterterrorism operations that we are involved in,” she said. Adding that the US has “to be very cognizant of the fact that some of the assistance that has been going to Pakistan is directly related to the counterterrorism mission.”

Musharraf and his advisers, meanwhile, appear to be quite confident. There’s little to no doubt in their minds about whether or not the US will continue to support Musharraf’s regime. One aide to the Pakistani president said that the US “would rather have a stable Pakistan — albeit with some restrictive norms — than have more democracy prone to fall in the hands of extremists,” which – like it or not – sounds logical.

The situation is incredibly difficult, the US is once again stuck between a rock and a hard place. Holding back support for Pakistan – thus not giving the country billions in aide – may very well result in a weaker Musharraf regime and, if that happens, a take-over by extremists. Extremists and nuclear weapons – since Pakistan is a nuclear power – are one dangerous combination.

On the other hand, although Musharraf is often referred to as an ally in the war against terrorism, the US and other countries have criticized his somewhat apathic approach: Al Qaeda and the Taliban have created a safe haven for themselves in Pakistan and are more often than not left alone by the regime. The US has to push Pakistan – time and again – into acting against the extremists who organize there, only to stage attacks against allied troops in Afghanistan. When Musharraf orders his army to go in, it does so grudgingly, too slowly and its military action is too short lived to truly be effective.

On the other hand, Musharraf is, at least, doing something. If other people take over, it might very well be that nothing will be done and that would create an even less stable Middle East and it would enable organizations like Al Qaeda and the Taliban to recruit more individuals for their cause.

So, what can be done? In my opinion not much. The only thing the US can hope for is that Musharraf will become a more serious ally in the War on Terrorism and that the crack down will be short lived. Allow Pakistan’s president to stabilize his country somewhat, but after that talk him into loosening his rule and accepting opposition once again.

Amo: inday ano gamit mo sa katawan, ang kinis mo kasi eh?
Amo: siguro gumagamit ka ng papaya..
Amo: bka naman kalamansi…?

Inday: NO!
Inday: “Only Belo touches my skin, who touches yoowws”

Lupeet mo inday!

Amo: Day, anong nilagay mo sa manok?
Inday: just the usual ingredients. what makes it taste that way is that i have boiled it until the savor of the sauce and with herbs combined penetrates the white meat thoroughly in order to satisfy your craving palates for something natively filipino. My adobo.

Jeepney Driver: hoy! bakit sais lang ang bayad mo?! syete na ang pamasahe ngayon?
Inday: I am currently enrolled in a 2-year vocational course in an academic institution. Therefore, I am a student and by this fact, I am entitled to have the inalienable right to avail of a certain discount on my jeepney fare. this is why i provided a payment less than what you expected because that is according to the law, as stated in the fare matrix
Jeepney Driver: Aaahhh!?

“Don’t limit my capacity within the 4 corners of this luxurious adobe. Expose me to the real challenges of the outside world. I want to grow as an individual with dynamic experiences.”

-Inday, nag rereklamo dahil ayaw sya isama sa enchanted kingdom

“Knowing my intelligence is not of great importance. It’s how I answer the interrogations as fluently and understandably as possible owing to the level of intelligence of the person im conversing with.”

-sagot ni inday ng tanungin ng amo kung gano kataas ang I.Q. nito…
Amo: anung sabi mo?!

“Much as i would want to indulge in the proliferation of such indecent and malicious information, I want to lift the stigma and alleviate society’s perception of our profession…Were not here to thrive on rumors but rather, we should engage in objective and top-of-the-line service to our designated employers.”

-inday, tumatangging maki pagtismisan sa katulong sa kabilang bahay, professionalism at its best

Panalo talaga tong si Inday.

Pinatulan ng lawyers, doctors, nutritionists and language experts.

But what surprised me the most is: pati ba naman accountants pumatol din!

Hehehe J

“I stay awake in the coldness of the darkened sky contemplating why, for some reasons, has my emptiness made itself manifests, extending to that niche where I was given life and growth, that because of austerity I was made separated from…”

- Inday… hindi makatulog dahil nahohomesick

“I am solitary. I find it hard to succumb into slumber, though the downpour of rain should’ve made it easy. This exuberant emotional glue I have for you, cannot be simply washed away. The multiplicity of what I feel for you is inevitable. This isn’t platonic. It’s real, true romance.”

- Inday, nageemote sa may bintana, habang iniisip si Dodong, ang boyfriend niya

“The statute restricts me to love you but you have the provocation. The way you smile is the proximate cause why I love you. We have some rules to think of. We have no vested rights to love each other because the upper household dismissed my petition!”

- ganito nakipagbreak si Inday kay Dodong (driver ng kapitbahay)

Amo: Inday bumili ka nga ng mga isda.. o nga pla inglesira ka… would you please purchase many fishes for our this week’s meals?

Inday: Judging from your statement I believe you meant a variety of fish. The term “fishes”, although rarely and even erroneously used, connotes a plethora or an array of different kinds of the aforementioned gilled creatures. But the more pressing questions before I traveresed the road to the wet market would be: What certain type of fish? Fillet or not? Frozen or just right smack the day’s catch? (Pauses) Aaah… by manner of careful extrapolation, given the meager budget in this houshold’s quasi-peasant middle class taste, I assume then I will source the staple “galewng-gowng”. Am I correct?

Amo: Leche!

Inday: You meant the freshwater milkfish? Then the “ba-ngooz” is it!

“Ipomea aquatica has become the constant ingredient to this Filipino delicacy which is very helpful in the digestion during the peristaltic process of the food we intake. Due to the continuous rains and floods, the harvest of the said vegetable has lessen the production in the market.”

“Heavy fire that exerted by the stimulus affect the best conductor of heat which is the steel, causing the “oriza sativa” which is the scientific name of rice to change its state of color, smell as well as the taste.”

- sagot ni Inday nang tanungin siya ng amo kung bakit nasunog ang sinaing

“Off you go! Under no circumstance this house would relent to such unabashed display of vagrant destitution!”

- si Inday, pinapaalis ang makulit na pulubi sa gate… (Taray talaga ni Inday!)

“Allergens triggered the immune response. Eosinophilic migration occurs to the reaction site and release of chemotactic and anaphylotoxin including histamine and prostaglandins. These substance results to increase circulation to the site promoting redness.”

- sagot ni inday nun tanungin ni sir kung bakit may rashes si Junior

Amo: Day! Bakit may bukol si Junior?!

Inday: Compromising safety with useless aesthetics, the not-so-well engineered architectural design of our kitchen lavatory affected the boy’s cranium with a slight boil at the left temple near the auditory organ.

Amo: (Di nakareact)

“Dear Mom,

Had it not been for the smelling salt, I must have collapsed moment ago. Junior has become a little monster to me. Remember the head accident he had? As if it wasn’t enough, he was summoned by the principal of his shabily run academe. Oh such an erudite bunch of baboons! I never lot being a governess can be such a strenuous employ.

Your daughter,
Inday”

“Dear Inday,

Walanghiya ka! Magpadala ka ng pera! Nasa ospital nanay mo, dumugo ang ilong kababasa ng pesteng sulat mo!

Mister: Bakit tuwing pag-uwi ko, nadadatnan kitang nanunuod ng TV??!!!

Inday: Because I don’t want you to see me doing absolutely nothing!

Amo: Inday di ba nanood ka ng The Buzz kahapon? Bkit daw umalis si Angel Locsin sa GMA7?

Inday: Sometimes people choose to leave not because of selfish reasons but because they just know that things will get worse if they’ll stay. Leaving can be a tough act and it’s harder when people can’t understand you for doing so.

“Physical stress and excessive work may result to serious damage to one’s body. It is therefore essential that once in a while we take a break from our usual routine to replenish the lost energy we once had.”

Misis: Inday, bakit mo binenta yung sirang silya?

Inday: I have computed the chair’s fair value less cost to sell, and the value in use using projections for 5 years and a pre-tax discount rate. Accordingly, the value in use is lower, so I decided to sell the chair. This is in accordance with PAS18 on Revenue, PAS16 on Property, Plant, and Equipment, and PAS36 on Impairment of Assets!

Misis: ADIK ka talaga Inday!
