MANILA, 18th August, 2022 (WAM) — Philippine President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. on Wednesday said he is considering extending the validity of the state of public health emergency until the end of the year due to the coronavirus pandemic, reported Philippine News Agency (PNA).
“So, we will likely extend it until the end of this year,” Marcos told reporters.
Former President Rodrigo Duterte declared a public health emergency in March 2020 following confirmation of local COVID-19 community transmission. Duterte had extended the emergency status until 12th September this year.

- To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually. In his studies, energy efficiency expert Dr. David Glew has observed numerous instances of people leaving the central heating on in their vacant homes to keep their pets warm. He cautions that having the heating on for a dog might increase the annual gas bill in a big family house by £240. Dr. Glew estimates that leaving the lights on for a pet in a few rooms for six hours a day may cost £50 a year with contemporary spotlights or £12 a year with LED lightbulbs. While leaving a fan on would only cost £5, leaving the air conditioning on throughout the entire house may cost hundreds more per year. The majority of healthy pets have enough fur to keep them warm, according to veterinarians, so turning on the heat or air conditioning is typically unnecessary. This month at the Cheltenham Science Festival, Dr. Glew, director of energy efficiency and policy at Leeds Beckett University, brought up the subject in a discussion. There is no need to leave the heater on for pets, he said, but if owners feel they must, they might think about solely heating the room the dog enjoys or lowering the thermostat or radiator dial. According to Energy Saving Trust research from 2015, 43% of pet owners leave the heat on for their animals.To keep the heating and lights on for their dog in the winter, dog owners may be spending close to £300 annually.
