Duterte: Noong nawala ako ng ilang araw, talagang sinadya ko yun. Ganoon ako eh, kapag kinakalkal mo ako, lalo ako yung... parang bata.

Duterte: The people must know that I am a resident of Davao City. I never pretended to be a resident of Sampaloc or Sta. Ana.

Duterte: If I want to go home there (Davao City) on reasonable basis, I can because it is my home.

Duterte: Kaya ako nakaka-swing ng golf at nagmo-motor kasi kaya ko pa.

Duterte: The problem is you should look into the time I enjoy my hobbies. Gabi 'yon, madaling araw.

Duterte: If you want me to die early, you must pray harder.

Duterte reiterates that he is active and starts his day late in the day.

Duterte: To ride at 2 o'clock in the morning, that is not taking away from people's time.

Duterte: It takes two to tango. Kung binabastos niyo ako, babastusin ko rin kayo.

Duterte tells Sen. De Lima: Did you elect me as President? I got my votes, substantial one, to make me a credible President. Six million 'yan.

Duterte: Kagaya kay (Sen. Leila) De Lima, tama 'yan sa iyo. Magtiis ka p****g i** mo. Binastos mo ang Pilipinas ng droga dyan sa National Penitentiary.

De Lima has been in jail since 2017 on allegations she used drug money for her senatorial campaign in 2016, when she was Justice secretary. https://bit.ly/3a49Z21 

But De Lima and human rights groups believe the drug charges against her were fabricated to silence her for investigating the administration's bloody war on drugs.

Duterte: Tatagal kaya ako dito sa pwesto na ito kung inutil ako? Would the military allow me to govern na ganun?

Duterte tells Sen. De Lima to "look into your own back yard."

Duterte on Sen. De Lima: Galit ka lang kasi naging presidente ako. Galit ka lang kasi ako, may ginawa ako sa bayan. Galit ka lang kasi ako, hindi ako pumayag na itong bayan ko ay mapunta sa aso.

Duterte: Galit ako dahil kung wala akong ginawa, we would have been a narco-political state.

Duterte: God willing itong vaccines na tinatrabaho ni Secretary Galvez, dadating na.

Duterte on receiving COVID-19 vaccine: Ako magw-waive ako... Kung sino may gusto sa slot ko, ibigay ko. I am that fatalistic actually.

Duterte says he is willing to waive his chance at the vaccine: Kung sino ang may gusto sa slot ko, ibigay ko

Duterte: We are not in the priority anywhere, kasi above...above ano na.

Duterte is a senior citizen, which means he is part of the second top priority group in the COVID-19 vaccine line, next to healthcare workers.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III says healthcare workers in hospitals are tested for COVID-19 every two weeks.

Duterte: The government has the power to expropriate.

Duterte: Do not be afraid actually, my countrymen, na magkulang tayo. Nagkulang tayo sa medisina, nagkulang tayo sa vaccine. Yung problema na 'yan, hindi lang atin. Yung problema na 'yan hanggang sa buong daigdig 'yan.

Duterte takes a random jab again at Sen. De Lima: Kung tinamaan ka ng COVID, sasabihin ko sa'yo na okay lang 'yan. Kasi ikaw kung ano ang pinagsasabi mo. 'Yang COVID, hindi 'yan atin.

Vaccine czar Carlito Galvez, Jr.: We will be needing 2,000 beds for severe and critical cases.

He says the region currently has 1,395 ICU beds, which means 605 more are needed.

Health Sec. Duque: For government beds, meron po silang budget para sa mga kama. Ito naman pong bayad ng PhilHealth, nakakatulong to augment.

Health Sec. Duque: Yung mga government hospitals, meron naman po silang nakalaan na budget for procurement...yung ibang capital outlay, so ito po ang isa nilang pinagba-budgetan ng ating gobyerno para sa kanilang mga kama.

Duterte tells his fellow government officials to spend as much money needed for the COVID-19 response: If that is needed...you justify it, 'wag kayong matakot gumastos. Nandyan ako sa likod ninyo, and I will vouch for you if the transaction is legal and right.

Galvez shows a list of facility expansions being undertaken to accommodate more COVID-19 patients.

He says this will generate 1,178 more beds for moderate and severe cases, as well as 1,045 additional beds for mild and asymptomatic cases.

Galvez says there are modular facilities already installed in several places.

Galvez also shares that the St. Luke's Medical Center also sought help from the government to establish modular healthcare facilities.

DSWD Secretary Rolando Bautista admits the financial aid rollout in NCR Plus areas has been "slow," with only 8% of the total amount disbursed as of April 11.

Sec. Bautista adds the DSWD is experiencing limitations in providing family food packs due to current COVID-19 restrictions. From 50,000 food packs prepared daily "in a normal situation," he says they are now only able to prepare 20,000 under strict lockdown.

PNP chief Gen. Debold Sinas provides a breakdown of COVID-19 protocol violations in the NCR Plus since the imposition of the ECQ on March 29.

As of April 12, PNP chief Gen. Sinas says that 52,745 violations were recorded throughout the implementation of ECQ in NCR Plus.

PNP presents actions to be taken as NCR Plus transitions to MECQ.

DILG says all but one local government units opted to distribute aid in the form of cash: There is only one which opted to give it in kind and that is in Calauan, Laguna.

FDA gives a breakdown on the status of vaccine EUA as of April 12, 2021.

DILG says it has so far received no complaints on the distribution of cash aid, which is at ₱1,000 per individual and a maximum of ₱4,000 per family.

Duterte, however, cites media reports that some residents have reported issues in receiving the financial assistance.

Duterte tells the DILG to continue monitoring the provision of cash aid, but adds he doesn't have "any reason to doubt the mayors."

FDA Director General Eric Domingo on ivermectin: Madami pong nagke-claim na ito ang nagpagaling sa kanila, pero at the same time madami din silang gamot na iniinom. (1/2)

Domingo: Kaya ang sinasabi ng espesyalita, hindi namin masasabi na ito ang nagpagaling sa kanila at medyo kulang pa tayo ng ebidensya. (2/2)

Domingo says ivermectin is designed as an antiparasitic not an antiviral.

Duterte: Hindi dahil sa gusto namin may MECQ kayo, ECQ kayo, or presuhin kayo lahat. As much as we hate doing it actually, we have...the grave responsibility of seeing to it that the nation is safe.
