Don't blame the Department of health
Department of health is responding to A(H1N1) outbreak and other similar cases. Then here us again our good congressman is planning the immediate holding of congressional inquiry on the standard operating procedures and practices of the Department Of Health. Because of the death of one of the employee of the Batasan Pambansa cause by A(H1N1). May be other sickness like Dengue may infect another congressional employee so that congress also may have an inquiry about the response of DOH about dengue.

I think this is another of one of the many grandstanding in the Congressto make themselves cleaner in the eyes of the public. For the longest time DOH had said that there will come a day that these virus would enter our area and it did. I think that is just but natural since we did not stop our airports from letting tourist from coming in and you cannot just do that just to prevent this virus from entering our borders. I really think that this proceedings is just being done for show only and guess what after this investigation has been made no law will be passed since they won't get anything from it.

I agree. We also have to do our part in taking precaution. Like, if a class is suspended in a certain school... students are expected to quarantine, and not hang out somewhere else... who knows, they may be carriers to the A(H1N1) virus. Besides, the Department of Health have constantly reminded the public on how to avoid spreading the virus. Sadly, a lot of filipinos are too stubborn to follow, and risk innocent ones, especially children.
Let's face it... DOH may have their flaws too... but blaming it all to them is just not fair.
