In response to President Trump’s criticism, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of World Health Organization (WHO), defended his agency’s handling of the #COVID19 crisis — and called on leaders not to politicize the virus or use it for political gain.

We apologize for sound issues at the beginning of the briefing today. Here you can watch the full statement on #COVID19 by @DrTedros 👇https://t.co/EdCwBpwDdD

Former IT Product Manager at Pacific Gas & Electric. Photographer at JFPerseveranda.com. Founder, Social Media Manager & Content Creator at Pinoybuilt.com. I'm a 1.5 generation immigrant—Filipino-born, U.S.-raised—sharing stories that bridge cultures. Share yours at PINOYBUILT.com. I’m still learning about our roots, and I invite you to learn with me. I was born in Makati City and raised in Marikina, known for world-class shoes and strong community ties. I went to Marist School; my sister went to St. Scholastica’s. We spent weekends in Malate—those memories of old Manila still shape who I am. At 9, we moved to Chicago, where I saw snow for the first time. At 12, we relocated to Vallejo, CA. Since then, I’ve lived in Davis, Glendale (SoCal), back to Chicago in my 20s, San Francisco & Fremont. I visit SoCal often for family. Chicago will always be special—but go Golden State Warriors! At UC Davis, I was a member of Mga Kapatid, where I had the chance to participate in Pilipino Culture Night and perform traditional dances like Bangko. Now, as a father of three, I’m doing my best to pass on our Filipino heritage. Let’s build something Filipino together. Mabuhay. Salamat!
