In this episode, Christian Esguerra talks about the decision by the Archdiocese of Manila to allow limited religious activities, especially during the holiest of occasions in the Church's liturgical calendar despite a two-week ban imposed by the government to help arrest the latest surge in COVID-19 infections. Some have called it defiance, but to others, it's a firm stand against a government policy previously criticized for glaring inconsistencies. He then tackles the impact of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases on hospitals. He also talks to a Filipino scientist on their bid to catch and study a thousand bats to develop a simulation model that they hope will help prevent another pandemic similar to COVID-19.
