MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque on Sunday described as \u201cencouraging\u201d how a Thai news website used his GIF in reminding the public of minimum health protocols on the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).<\/p>\n

GIF stands for Graphic Interchange Format or a type of computer file that contains a still or moving image.<\/p>\n

In a tweet on Saturday, Thai Enquirer reminded netizens to follow minimum health protocols such as washing hands, wearing a mask and observing physical distancing.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen to government announcements and do not take unnecessary risks,\u201d the Thai Enquirer said in its tweet.<\/p>\n

The Thai news site also attached to the tweet a GIF of Roque during one of his press briefings.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Roque welcomed the use of his GIF in a tweet.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is encouraging that foreign media, particularly Thai Enquirer, has taken notice of The Philippine government\u2019s Minimum Public Health Standards Advocacy Campaign of wearing a face mask, washing of hands, and maintaining a physical distance, which is known locally as \u2018Mask, Hugas, Iwas,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Citing the Thai Enquirer, he also urged the public to \u201clisten to government announcements and do not take unnecessary risks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed, Covid-19 knows no borders, as the Thai news website succinctly puts it, \u2018We\u2019re all in this together,\u2019\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Since his GIF was used in the Thai news site, he said it meant that the message being imparted by the government\u2019s information drive is \u201ceffective.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that the Philippine government\u2019s advocacy campaign has caught international attention underscores how effective our message is — which we articulate in every press briefing and which we prominently display on the podium — in conveying that we must adhere to such health standards aimed at saving lives and protecting the communities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Roque, meanwhile, advised the public to continue observing minimum health protocols to avoid a post-holiday spike in Covid-19 cases.<\/p>\n

He earlier warned that parts of the country could shift to a stricter community quarantine should Covid-19 cases rise.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet everyone be reminded therefore that in this holiday season, we should continue to wear face masks\/face shields, wash our hands, and maintain a physical distance to have safe and healthy 2021,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
