COVID-19: Special Investigative Reports ni Mike Enriquez

This July, GMA Public Affairs’ longest-running investigative television program Imbestigador presents “COVID-19: Special Investigative Reports ni Mike Enriquez” which brings back Imbestigador to its news-based, investigative roots. The special series is a comprehensive examination that seeks crucial answers to relevant issues relating to the COVID-19 response in the country.

COVID-19 has become the worst pandemic the world has ever seen in the past century. It continues to cause an unprecedented global health calamity and it has become the greatest challenge that mankind has collectively faced since World War II.

While people and businesses are grappling with significant adjustments to the so-called “new normal” after more than three months of lockdown, Filipinos need to take a step back to analyze and discuss significant issues related to the pandemic. What happened to the mass testing program? Where did the billions of funds intended for the COVID-19 response really go? Has the Social Amelioration Program been implemented well enough to support all Filipinos in need? How bad are the economic effects of the crisis to businesses and workforce? What future awaits Filipinos in the new normal?

For the special’s first part, Mike begins the investigation with a deep dive into the cuurent state of the transportation sector.

After being suspended for months, public transportation is gradually resuming its operations, although limited. As means of transportation remain few, some commuters have resorted to riding motorcycles and bicycles. Others are even forced to walk for hours to go to work and run errands because they are left without any options to commute.  Meanwhile, other public transport drivers still prohibited by the government from plying their regular routes continue to suffer financially.

Are there any concrete and long-term solutions in the horizon?

“COVID-19: Special Investigative Reports ni Mike Enriquez” ngayong Sabado

Ngayong Hulyo, handog ng Imbestigador ang “COVID-19: Special Investigative Reports ni Mike Enriquez”, isang espesyal na serye na tatalakay sa iba’t ibang napapanahong isyu kaugnay ng pandemya.

Halos buong mundo ang pinadapa ng paglaganap ng sakit na COVID-19, na itinuturing na pinakamapinsalang pandemya sa nakalipas na siglo.

Matapos ang mahigit dalawang buwang “lockdown” sa bansa, unti-unti nang binubuksan ang mga negosyo at trabaho at unti-unti na ring nakababalik ang mga mamamayan sa ilalim ng tinatawag na “new normal”.

Sa kabila nito, may mga isyung kakabit ng pandemya na nararapat talakayin at hanapan ng mga kasagutan: Ano na ang kinahinatnan ng programang mass testing ng gobyerno? Naipamahagi ba nang maayos at napunta sa mga tamang benepisyaryo ang bilyon-bilyong ayuda? Gaano kalala ang epekto ng pandemya sa mga negosyo at manggagawa? Anong bukas ang haharapin ng mga Pilipino sa tinatawag na “new normal”?

Sa unang episode nito sa July 11, sisilipin ng Imbestigador ang kalagayan ng ilang dekada ng problema sa transportasyon. Matapos ang mahigit dalawang buwan, unti-unti nang binubuksan ang serbisyo ng pampublikong transportasyon. Pero habang hindi pa pinapayagang bumiyahe lahat, may mga pasahero pa ring patuloy na nagtitiis at umaasa sa pagsakay sa bisikleta at paglalakad para makarating sa destinasyon. Para naman sa mga drayber na hindi pa rin nakakabiyahe, lalong tumitindi ang kanilang daing na makabalik sa paghahanapbuhay.

Ano nga ba ang nararapat na solusyon sa mga problema sa transportasyon?

‘Wag palampasin ang pagsisumula ng “COVID-19:  Special Investigative Reports ni Mike Enriquez” ngayong Hulyo 11 , Sabado, 4:45 pm pagkatapos ng Wish Ko Lang sa GMA 7.
