PhilHealth Regional Office V’s Music for Unity Caravan



  • PhilHealth Regional Office V’s Music for Unity Caravan
    • Legazpi City: PhilHealth Regional Office V (PRO V) staged the third leg of Music for Unity (M.U.), a caravan to showcase Bicolano hospitality and goodwill for the delegates of the recently-concluded 59th Palarong Pambansa hosted by the Provincial Government of Albay.
    The M.U. was spearheaded by the PRO V Band, under the leadership of Regional Vice President Orlando D. Iñigo. The caravan endeavors to promote unity amidst diversity through music, and is in line with the Provincial Government’s theme reflecting shared values, shared goals, and shared impact.
    Three delegations representing Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao were handpicked by Iñigo to be given the whole M.U. experience: Region 4-A in Luzon, Region 8 in Visayas, and one Region in Mindanao. Aside from entertainment, the PRO V team also sees this as an opportunity to increase PhilHealth visibility and intensify its marketing campaign for the Formal Sector members of the Department of Education through the tokens and information materials given away during the event.

    • The M.U. kicked off during the welcome program for the delegation from Region 8, and was well received by the contingents. Region 8 was selected among the other regions in the Visayas area, because of its proximity to the Bicol Region, and to further uplift the morale of the representatives, who were once affected by Supertyphoon Yolanda in 2013.
    The second leg of the MU was staged for Region 4-A, where Iñigo was temporarily assigned as head of the PhilHealth Regional Office. The Region was chosen because of the already established sisterhood with PhilHealth Regional Office 4-A in Lucena. Several students jammed with the PRO V Band during the hour-long entertainment.

    • Following the lead of the Provincial Government of Albay, the third leg of the MU concluded among athlete-PWDs representing the Bicol Region for the Special Games. Some 50 PWD athletes were joined by their coaches and other delegations while the PRO V Band entertained them. Some even jammed with the band, proving that the love of music and sports has the power to unite and overcome barriers like their disabilities. Through the M.U., Iñigo hopes to promote goodwill and camaraderie with the other regions, and leave them with a good impression of PhilHealth and Bicolanos, as well. (END)

    UP Diliman Professors Share Scientists’ Procurement Struggles at Senate Hearing

    By Harvey Sapigao Senate hearing of the revised procurement law (Photo credit: Senate of the Philippines) College of Science (CS) Dean Giovanni Tapang held up a little white device as he finished his presentation. “This is a ₱150,000 component,” he described. “Isa lang gumagawa nito sa buong mundo, pero ang hirap pilitin sila na magregister sa PhilGEPS,” he continued, referring to the requirement that foreign companies must first register to the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) before they can sell products to local scientists. Marine Science Institute (MSI) Deputy Director Dr. Irene Rodriguez explained that the small device is a resin that filters metals in water. “May budget tayo,” she said, “pero ang problema ko ay ‘yung resin na ito.” This and other bottlenecks brought about by the procurement law, or the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184), slow down research and development in the country. UPD leaders were invited to the Senate he

    Marcos denies family’s ill-gotten wealth anew, accuses critics of 'propaganda'----Cristina Chi - Philstar.com

    MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has again denied his father’s plunder of billions of public funds during his two-decade rule, calling as “propaganda” the campaign for the Marcos family to return their ill-gotten wealth to the government. In an interview with Australia-based ABC News published on Monday, Marcos sought to downplay well-documented evidence that former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. had stripped government coffers of at least $5 billion and that his family acquired millions-worth of stolen loot that they even took with them to exile in Hawaii. Asked to explain why he initially laughed at a question on the billions of money reportedly plundered by his father, Marcos immediately appeared to sober up and said that he “takes exception” to the “assertions” that have been made about his family. “Since cases were filed, the government failed. Cases were filed against me, my family, the estate etc. Up to now we have ... the assertions that were made were s
