In a surprising move, the Philippine’s House of Representative has initiated a formal investigation into a staggering number of unexplained excess deaths. Citing official statistics, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dan Fernandez, voiced the concerns that have led to this inquiry:
"The copy of the said resolution, this is about a 260,000 excess deaths that we experienced in this country. We'll be showing a graph coming from the Philippine Statistics Authority. In DOH (Department of Health), they also have copies that have been submitted. We are shocked to find out that there were 262,000 excess deaths in 2021 alone."
He further added that the concerning trend continued into the following year, "After that, 2022, still had 67,000 excess deaths. These are all unexplained deaths (non-COVID)."
In comparison, from 2020 to November 2023, COVID-19 has claimed 67,000 lives. [SOURCE]
The government's decision to launch an investigation underscores the severity of the situation and the pressing need for explanations of these excess deaths. With COVID-19 ruled out as the cause for these excess deaths, authorities are compelled to look elsewhere to understand the origins of this alarming fatality rate.
