More challenges under Duterte’s 2nd year; farmers ready for SONA protests
Peasant group Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) said they are preparing for the worst under the second year of Duterte’s presidency. “We have seen a preview of the worst things to come. We know what to do – we fight and defend our rights, now and always.” “Things are taking a turn for the worst under Duterte. His first year is marked with unfulfilled promises, promotion of neoliberal policies and militarism. His declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao is enough reason for people to mobilize and protest his State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 24,” said Danilo Ramos, the newly-elected chairperson of Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP). “We will make President Duterte accountable for his unfulfilled promises. We will continue to assert genuine land reform, free land distribution and the lifting of Martial Law. We will continue to defend our democratic rights in the face of Duterte’s all-out war,” the KMP leader said. “Instead of seriously addressing the People’s Agenda that was presented to his administration last year, Duterte allowed his economic managers to come up with ‘Dutertenomics’ that essentially perpetuates pro-foreign and pro-business neoliberal policies. The people’s clamor for genuine land reform and national industrialization fell on deaf ears. The peace negotiations that are supposed to come up with a Comprehensive Agreement on Social and Economic Reforms (CASER) were stalled and not gaining any headway due to the GRP’s dogged determination to force a ceasefire and lack of sincerity in the peace process,” Ramos said. Ramos added, “President Duterte can either choose to genuinely side with the people or face wider mass protests and resistance against...Duo PNF Pen and Free : Instant Touchscreen

ONLY pharmacies and drugstores with automated ordering systems are mandated by law to implement the mandatory reduction of prices of selected medicines effective August 15, clarified Sangguniang Panlalawigan Health Committee Chairman Cesar Tomas Lopez. At the Kapihan sa PIA Thursday, Lopez, who is also a medical practitioner states that pharmacies with manual operations are given until September 15 yet to comply with the law. By Executive order 821, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo effected the 50% cut in 7 categorized drugs as voluntarily given by pharmaceutical companies after meetings with the DOH. Some of the categorized drugs fall under anti-hypertensive, anti-cholesterol, anti-thrombotic, anti-diabetics, anti-biotics and anti-cancer drugs. Complaints about non-implementation of the drugs price-cut, Dr. Lopez said, would be forwarded to the Food and Drugs Administration (formerly BFAD) at JA. Clarin Street, this city....BM Lopez urges help in drug price watch
JOINING Vice Governor Julius Caesar Herrera in his calls for drug-stores to comply with the cheaper medicines act, Board Member Cesar Tomas Lopez also urges the people to help an undermanned office tasked to spearhead the monitoring of the implementation of the law. Over the fact that the local Food and Drugs Administration is clearly undermanned when tasked with the massive job of monitoring compliance, Lopez, who is also a doctor by profession urged people in the community, government entities and the private sector including non-government organizations to help in monitoring compliance. In reports, Vice Gov. Herrera said some complaints have reached his office about non-compliance by some drugstores. He also stressed that generic drugs should be more accessible by the public in as much as prices of prescription drugs have already been cut into half. Both legislators have said they would gladly open discussions, dialogs and public forums on the matter to effectively disseminate the good news....Abapo: Re-engineering plan is something to be excited about
IF only to allay fears of being displaced, the Capitol re-engineering scheme is something to be excited about, said administrator Atty. Tomas Abapo. The re-engineering has stirred Capitol rank and file over speculations that civil service protected employees may not even be spared from the employee movements. Earlier, Governor Erico Aumentado and Vice Governor Julius Caesar Herrera have pushed for the re-engineering to streamline government operations and make a lean and mean government operations as well as keep the needed savings to fund other development initiatives. Now, with the elections nearing, employees have started to doubt about its realization in as much as the decision to push through with the plan may dent on political standings of elected officials in the Capitol. Over these, the provincial Administrator said the plan is now on its finishing touches at the office of Capitol’s Human Resource Management and Development Office. Reporting during the weekly The Governor’s Reports, Atty. Abapo reasoned out that the re-engineering has nothing to be apprehensive about. He said that re-engineering is a move to put the employees rightfully in each place in the organization. Insider sources at the Capitol also bare that indeed, there are employees in whose jobs are duplications of other tasks, making Capitol be saddled with too much bureaucracy. Employees who are now saddled with too much job while earning little compared to those of the same office who have relatively lesser work load and get paid better need to be equalized, the sources agree. To make the offer even more appealing, the provincial administrator added that they have packed exciting early retirement packages for...National News
