President Rodrigo Duterte said he will not think twice on shutting down the business of PLDT Inc. if it fails to improve the government’s anti-graft hotline.<br />

<br />
While in Cebu, the President mentioned his efforts in fighting corruption in the government. Part of the President’s campaign is the establishment of an anti-graft trunkline, where the public can easily report any acts of corruptions and complaints from any government agency by simply calling 8888.<br />
<br />
However, Duterte complained that the 8888 hotline isn’t accessible because it’s always busy. He instructed former Special Assistant to President Christopher “Bong” Go to add another trunk line. The President said, “If you see corruption, tell me. Call 8888. Bong, add another trunk line. The present setup can’t accommodate all the calls. It’s always busy.”<br />
<br />
Duterte continued that if not, he will not hesitate in stopping the telecommunication giant’s business. He said, “Tell PLDT. If not, I’ll shut down their business.”<br />
<br />

<br />
The President added that the PLDT still owed the government money and he is very willing to ask for it in time. He said, “Oo, that’s true. I don’t want to brag, but they owe the government eight billion [pesos]. No President has ever asked for payment. But when I became President, I said…”<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, PLDT has issued a statement that they are now working at improving their services. Following the President’s remarks,  PLDT spokesman Ramon Isberto said, “We are currently taking steps to address the concern expressed by the President to improve the public’s access to the Citizen’s Complaint Center 8888 hotline number.”<br />
<br />
The 8888 Citizens’ Complaint Hotline was launched in August 2016. It is a 24-hour national citizens’ complaint hotline. Complaints will be referred for immediate action to concerned agencies, which are expected to respond within five working days.<br />

Duterte signs universal healthcare bill into law

Friday, February 22, 2019 Mavie Global - Ultron Staking 0

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday signed into law a landmark bill that guarantees all Filipinos equal access to quality and affordable goods and services in healthcare.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Duterte signed the Universal Health Care Act during a ceremony in Malacañang.<br />
<br />
Under the law, all Filipino citizens are automatically enrolled into the National Health Insurance Program as direct contributors or those who have the capacity to pay premiums, and indirect contributors sponsored by the government such as indigents and senior citizens.<br />
<br />
It has a funding requirement of P257 billion but was given appropriations of only P217 billion under the proposed 2019 national budget.<br />
<br />
Health Secretary Francisco Duque III earlier said the funding gap of P40 billion would mean not all hospitals or health centers as envisioned under the law would be constructed.<br />
<br />
The construction of barangay health units in fourth to sixth class municipalities would be prioritized, so patients would not have to visit hospitals for minor ailments, Duque said.<br />
<br />
The law also mandates the expansion of Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) coverage to include free consultation fees, laboratory tests, and other diagnostic services.<br />
<br />
PhilHealth was created in 1995 to implement universal health coverage in the country. As a government-owned and controlled corporation, PhilHealth is tax-exempt and attached to the Department of Health.<br />
<br />
Filipinos who are not enrolled in PhilHealth could still benefit from health care services since the premium subsidy will be gradually adjusted and included in the General Appropriations Act.<br />
<br />
The law also calls for an improved doctor-to-patient ratio as well as an upgrade of hospital bed capacities and equipment and the establishment of hospitals in remote areas. —VDS/ LDF, GMA News<br />

New law removes extra charges for texts, calls to other networks

Metro Manila (February 20, CNN Philippines) — Mobile phone users would no longer have to pay extra for calling and texting other networks, thanks to a new law.<br />
<br />

<br />
Under the Mobile Number Portability Act signed recently by President Rodrigo Duterte, mobile service providers should not charge an interconnection fee for domestic calls and texts upon effectivity of the law.<br />
<br />
"Ibig sabihin kahit tumawag ka sa Globe, Smart o doon sa third telco, wala na silang sisingilin na interconnection fees sa text at sa tawag," Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, the primary author of the law, told CNN Philippines' Balitaan on Wednesday.<br />
<br />
[Translation: This means that even if you call to Globe, Smart or to the third telco, they would no longer charge interconnection fees for texts and calls.]<br />
<br />
Currently, the National Telecommunications Commission pegs interconnection charges at P0.05 per message and P0.50 per minute for calls.<br />
<br />
Gatchalian said this amendment in the bill was introduced by Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson, who raised the possibility of users not benefitting from the law which allows them to transfer mobile networks without changing numbers because they still have to pay interconnection charges for calls and texts to other networks.<br />
<br />
Gatchalian said mobile service providers can easily shoulder this, as interconnection fees only account for a fraction of their income.<br />
<br />
Under the law, mobile service providers that do not let subscribers switch to another network within 24 hours would be fined from ₱10,000 to ₱1,000,000 and even have their franchises revoked. Subscribers are also entitled to damages of up to ₱40,000.<br />
<br />
Gatchalian said the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of the law should be completed within 90 days after its enactment.<br />
<br />
The National Privacy Commission said it will work with the National Telecommunications Commission and other government agencies to provide additional inputs in the crafting of the IRR and other policies related to number porting.<br />
<br />
The privacy body vowed to provide safeguards to protect the personal data of mobile subscribers.<br />

Friday, February 22, 2019 Mavie Global - Ultron Staking 0

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte has signed the National Integrated Cancer Control Act, a measure that aims to prevent cancer cases and improve cancer survivorship among Filipinos by scaling up essential programs and increasing investments that battle cancer.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Signed by the President on Feb. 14 and released by the Palace on Tuesday, Republic Act 11215, creates the National Integrated Cancer Control Program which shall serve as the framework for all cancer-related activities of the government.<br />
<br />
According to Sen. JV Ejercito, one of the authors and sponsors of the law, cancer is the 3rd leading cause of adult death and 4th in child mortality.<br />
<br />
The Philippine Cancer Facts and Estimates of the Department of Health said there are up to 8 deaths per day for childhood cancer and up to 11 new cases and 7 deaths every hour for adult cancer in the Philippines.<br />
<br />
There are approximately 110,000 new cancer cases and over 66,000 cancer deaths each year.<br />
<br />
The program aims to decrease the overall mortality and impact of all adult and childhood cancer, lessen the incidence of preventable cancer in adults and children, and prevent cancer recurrence, metastasis, and secondary cancer among survivors and people living with cancer.<br />
<br />
It also seeks to provide timely access to optimal cancer treatment and care for all patients, make cancer treatment and care more affordable and accessible, improve the experience of cancer treatment and care of patients and families, support the recovery and reintegration to society of cancer survivors, and eliminate various forms of burden on patients, people living with cancer, survivors, and their families.<br />
<br />
The law forms a National Integrated Cancer Control Council which shall act as the policy-making, planning and coordinating body on cancer control, attached to the health department.<br />
<br />
It also mandates the creation of the Philippine Cancer Center, which shall promote and encourage cancer research, provide training to medical professionals, and assist universities, hospitals, and research institutions on cancer research.<br />
<br />
The law also calls on the health department to intensify its cancer awareness campaign and provide the latest and evidence-based information for the prevention and treatment of cancer.<br />
<br />
“The awareness campaign must increase cancer literacy and understanding of risk factors associated with cancer, dispel myths and misconceptions about cancer, and reduce the anxiety, fear, distress, and uncertainty related to cancer,” the law reads.<br />
<br />
A cancer assistance fund is also created under the law. The health department shall manage the fund and may solicit and receive donations.<br />
<br />
Under the law, the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation shall expand its benefits packages to include primary care screening, detection, diagnosis, treatment assistance, supportive care, survivorship follow-up care rehabilitation, and end-of-life care, for all types and stages of cancer in both adults and children.<br />
<br />
A Cancer Control Policy shall also be established in every workplace and form part of employee benefits in the formal sector covering the entire cancer continuum.<br />
<br />
The Insurance Commission shall mandate health maintenance organizations to cover genetic counseling and testing, cancer screening, diagnostics, and palliative care as well as certain therapeutics of all member employees. Employees in the informal sector will be prioritized in the cancer control packages of PhilHealth, while those in the formal sector shall be offered cost-sharing PhilHealth benefit packages.<br />

<br />
Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea said Duterte signed the law on Wednesday, Feb. 20, beating the 30-day deadline for the proposed measure to lapse into law.<br />
<br />
The Palace has yet to release a copy of the signed measure.<br />
<br />
Under the measure passed by Congress, all working mothers in the government and private sector are guaranteed with 105 days of paid maternity leave credits, with 7 days transferable to fathers. An additional 15 days will be granted to single mothers.<br />
<br />
The law also gives mothers the option to extend their leave for another 30 days without pay. The law also applies to all instances of pregnancies, removing the 4-pregnancy cap.<br />
<br />
Under the previous law, employed women are entitled to 60 days of paid leave for normal delivery and 78 days for cesarean delivery.<br />
<br />
Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said the government is confident this will not result in discrimination against females in the hiring process.<br />
<br />
The EML bill passed Congress in October 2018 and was transmitted to the Palace on Jan. 21, 2019.<br />

Nagtungo ang Alliance of Concerned Teachers-NCR, ACT Philippines at Manila Public School Teachers’ Association (MPSTA) para sa isang dialogue tungkol sa Performance-Based Bonus (PBB) sa Department of Budget and Management (DBM). Nakausap ang Office of the Secretary, Organization Position Classification and Compensation Bureau (PCCB) na si Dir. Ryan Lita. Narito ang resulta ng dialogue:<br />

<br />
Novembe 7 lamang nakapagpasa ng huling requirement ang DepEd Central sa DBM;<br />
Dahil nahuli ang pagpasa ng DepEd, isasalang pa ito sa validation ng Presidential Management Staff (PMS);<br />
<br />
Hindi tiyak kung kailan matatapos ang nasabing validation kaya hindi rin makapagbigay ang DBM ng eksaktong araw ng computation para sa release of payment ng PBB;<br />
Tiniyak ng DBM na kapag nasa kanila na ang ating papeles ay agad nila itong ipoproseso;<br />
Mauunang i-release ang Year-End Bonus (equivalent to 1 month Salary) at Cash Gift na P5,000 simula November 15;<br />

<br />
Senator Cayetano explained that the salary that cops were receiving was not enough for everyday living here in Metro Manila.<br />
