MANILA - The Department of Health (DOH) on Thursday added 5,132 COVID-19 cases and 41
new recoveries to the figures it reported the previous day amid "technical issues" in its data collating
system.

These corrected the new infections reported on Wednesday to 17,883 from 12,751, and new
recoveries to 20,192.

 PH posts 12,751 new COVID-19 cases, DOH says lower number due to 'technical issues'

The updated figures bring the total recorded coronavirus cases in the Philippines to 2,139,137, and
the total recoveries to 1,948,239, based on the monitoring of the ABS-CBN Investigative and
Research Group. The death toll stood at 34,672.

The number of active cases is also adjusted to 156,226. 

On Wednesday, the DOH said they encountered "technical issues" with their system COVIDKaya.

The matter is still being resolved with the help of the Department of Information and
Communications Technology (DICT), the agency said.

The DOH in the past just included the previous days' backlogs to the latest bulletin it issues.

ABS-CBN Data Analytics head Edson Guido said the positivity rate for Sept. 7 is at 30.1 percent,
based on the data he analyzed from the DOH's data drop. 

It is the highest so far since data became available, according to him.

The data reflected on the day's bulletin was based from samples, and patient's "outcome" collected
two days ago. 

Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said COVIDKaya is important to determine the
patients' health status, whether they have already recovered, died, or if they are still battling the
respiratory disease.

 DOH: Data system ‘issue’ fixed amid report of no new deaths on Friday

The Philippines is battling a new wave of COVID-19 infections due to the more contagious Delta
variant. Many hospitals nationwide are struggling to cope with a stream of virus patients, with big
health facilities already critical or fully occupied. 

The country confirmed its first case on Jan. 30 last year in a Chinese woman who arrived from
Wuhan City, China where COVID-19 is believed to have first emerged in late 2019.

Dating apps ginagamit sa

illegal recruitment - POEA

Kung dati ay para lang sa paghahanap ng inyong Mr. Right o Ms. Right ang online dating apps,
ngayon ginagamit na ito ng illegal recruiters at human traffickers para masilaw ang mga naghahanap
ng trabaho sa abroad. 
Ito ang babala ngayon ng Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) sa overseas job
seekers. Nakatanggap ang POEA kamakailan ng mga sumbong na may mga nag-aalok ng migration
at employment opportunities sa Estados Unidos at Canada gamit ang online dating apps at websites.

Modus ng “online romantic partner,” kaibiganin ang kanilang makikilala online, imbes na partner sa
pag-ibig ang hinahanap, aalokin ng trabaho sa ibang bansa, at ang iba papangakuan pa ng kasal para
magmukhang lehitimo.

Gamit ng scammers ang fake identities at saka papaniwalain ang isang biktima sa kanyang estado sa
buhay, nasyonalidad, propesyon o yaman. Kapag naniwala, bibigyan ng fake contracts, pekeng
company profiles at contacts ng kanilang pekeng visa consultancy firm para maiayos umano ang
kanilang mga papeles.

Habang pinapaniwala pa rin ng scammer ang biktima na ginagawa lang niya ito dahil sa
pagmamahal, hihingian ng scammer ang biktima ng pera bilang kabayaran sa “service” na kanyang
ibinigay.

Kung hindi raw makakabayad hindi maire-release ang umano’y visa documents, at airport
clearances. Payo ng POEA sa jobs seekers sa Pilipinas at maging sa abroad na huwag patulan ang
mga alok na trabaho sa dating apps at websites at mas lalong huwag magpapadala ng pera sa mga
online portals na ito kapalit ng trabaho sa abroad.

Sa kaugnay na balita, may babala rin ang Interpol sa Lyon, France, dahil sa pagdami ng online dating
apps at websites, na hindi lang “online romance” ang inaalok kundi pekeng online investments din.

Ayon sa Interpol, kakaibiganin ng isang scammer ang biktima gamit ang fake identity at aalokin na i-
download ang isang finacial investment app, na kamukhang-kamukha ng mga sikat na financial
institutions sa Europe.

Hihingian ng personal data at monetary investments. Para magpatuloy at maglabas pa ng mas

malaking pera ang biktima, bibigyan ng VIP status o Gold status ng scammer ang kanilang "online
romantic partner" para mas malaki raw ang porsyentong kanilang makukuha at iba pang benepisyo.

Kapag malaki-laki na ang kanilang na-invest, bigla silang mala-lock-out sa website o app at hindi na
rin nila mako-contact ang kanilang “online romantic partner.” Yun pala natangay na ang kanilang
pera.

Nag-isyu na ng Purple notice ang Interpol sa kanilang 194 member countries noong January 2021
dahil sa pagdami ng mga nabibiktima ng modus operandi na ito gamit ang dating apps at websites.
