‼️TIGNAN: Sumbong ng isang #Pharmally warehouse staff sa opisina namin na pinapalit sa kanila ang lumang certificates ng mga FACE SHIELDS FOR HEALTH WORKERS dated 2020 sa bagong certificates na dated 2021. “Yung mga nakalagay dun sa certificate nya, is production date po nya, is year 2020 pa. Then, ang pinapagawa sa amin is palitan po sya ng certificate na updated this year. Ang nag-utos sa amin na palitan yun ay si Ma’am Krizle Grace Mago,” sabi ng empleyado.

After the killing of thousands, the systematic attacks against democratic institutions, the relentless sexism, the surrender of our sovereignty to China and the worsening economic slump, I expect nothing true and good from Pres Duterte's SONA. If there is anything good at all that will be said, I fear that this will only be used to deodorize the stench of death, corruption & incompentence under the Duterte administration. Under Duterte's rule, the bad outweighs the good.

NO DRESS CODE FOR RAPE: I am extremely disappointed w/ the Angono police's anti-rape info flyer. While the intention of the material may be good, it promotes victim-blaming by asking women to conform to a particular way of dressing in order to be respected and avoid being raped. The Angono police's anti-rape flyer lays unwarranted blame on rape victims. The material that they issued is not only an insult to many victims of rape and other forms of sexual violence, but also sends a wrong signal that women are raped because of our actions or preferences.

Palpak at isang malaking banta sa ating kasarinlan ang palasukong foreign policy ni Pangulong Duterte. Palpak itong ipagtanggol ang kaligtasan at kabuhayan ng ating mga mangingisda. Palpak itong ipaglaban ang soberenya at teritorya ng bansa. It is a complete foreign policy disaster. It has squandered our historic victory at the United Nations (UN) Arbitral Tribunal. It betrays our heroes' struggle for independence against foreign colonizers. It is a policy of annexation to a foreign power.

FINALLY, AN HIV LAW THAT WE NEED! #HIVPolicyNow

This is an important victory in our fight to reverse the tide of the HIV-AIDS epidemic in the country. We now have a stronger and modern policy tool to appropriately respond to this problem. It's a product of both love & expertise. Bill incorporated concerted response that makes use of most recent developments in prevention & treatment in medical & health science. It also gathered all stakeholders’ input, especially communities that are at forefront.
