Acd. Tan: I am afraid that how we handle COVID-19 pandemic is wala tayong direction. I worry that we are not even biomedical.

#PilipiNAST #COVID19AlaminNatin
Acd. Tan: It is not surprising that we are being justified as “pasaway” because we are being led by the military which lacks the understanding on what is really going on.

#PilipiNAST #COVID19AlaminNatin
Acd. Tan: NPIs are being used by small countries but we have to take note that these countries were able to combat COVID-19 because panic agad sila. We should also take note that these countries are being led by women.

#PilipiNAST #COVID19AlaminNatin

Acd. Tan emphasized that One size does not fit all in terms of looking at biocultural perspectives.
