As I write this column, we are gearing up for the final meeting of the Interagency Taskforce on Emerging Infectious Diseases under the Duterte administration. This will be the 169th meeting of the body and the last one for the present government. The IATF will continue to function as we transition to a newly elected government, but the heads of the agencies will change.
Thanks to the IATF’s long-term vision, the Philippines currently has one of the lowest daily case rates in Asia. It is also one of the fastest-growing economies. Wisely retaining the mask mandate has ensured the suppression of cases even as previously pandemic-resilient countries like Taiwan and Australia are seeing daily case numbers in the tens of thousands.
While it came to prominence during the Covid-19 pandemic, the IATF-EID was conceived under the Aquino administration back in 2014. The IATF-EID was created through Executive Order No. 168 issued by the late President Benigno Aquino III in 2014. It was organized as the government’s instrument to assess, monitor, contain, control, and prevent the spread of any potential epidemic in the Philippines.
The current iteration of the IATF has expanded to include almost all major government agencies, reflecting the encompassing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The IATF chairperson is DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III. The previous Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles and Department of Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana have served as co-chairpersons.
