Speech of

Dr. Bonaleth Musngi-De Vera,1

during the 25th Founding
Anniversary of De Vera Medical
Center

December 5 - 11, 2016

Good Evening, everyone!

Happy 25th Silver Anniversary!
I feel a little nostalgic
(sentimental) tonight as I look
back with undying gratitude, to
the first years of my clinical
practice as a Pediatrician. Some
30 years back, struggling with
operations was a common fare,
looking after the De Vera
Pediatric Clinic in the Public
Market of
Santiago.
And
more
challenging was
the foundation of
De
Veras
P e d i a t r i c
Hospital, some 5
years later!!
Dr. Bonaleth M. De Vera
Recently,
God challenged
me with my brain surgery. With my deep faith and
trust in the Lord, I surrendered myself to His will. I
did not question him:Why me Lord? On the
contrary, within my heart was deep gratitude; I
thanked Him for my family, for DVMCI, and
SMMHI, and above all for his abiding protection in
and for these market places. Truly, our God is so
good! He loves us so much that He allowed me to
celebrate with you, my family, this momentous
event, the Silver Founding Anniversary of DVMCI!
Let us praise God with a big clapping of our hands!
Havent you ever wondered why the 25th year
is Silver Anniversary, the 30th is Pearl, the 40th is
Ruby, the 50 th is Gold, while the 60 th year is
Diamond?
In my research I learned: The shining
qualities of Silver are Strength, Adaptability,

De Vera Medical Center

celebrates 25th year in service
SANTIAGO CITY It all started as a simple De Vera Pediatric Clinic in the Public Market of this city some 25 years
ago today to what it is now the De Vera Medical Center,
Inc. (DVMCI) and now considered as one of the most advance hospitals not only in Santiago City but in the whole
of Cagayan Valley Region.
Dr. Bonaleth MusngiDe Vera, (Dr. Bona, as she
is fondly called) planted the
seed of De Vera Medical
Center at the center of
Santiago City, who during
the celebration of the hospitals 25 year in service was
so nostalgic in reminiscing
how DVMC started.
I feel a little nostalgic
tonight as I look back with
undying gratitude to the
first year of my clinical practice as a pediatrician some
30 years back, the lady
doctor said in her opening
speech.
The lady doctor led the
visitors as well as the staff
and doctors of DVMC in
the struggle and the humble
beginning of the hospital
which started from a tenbed pediatric clinic in 1991
and grows eventually into
a 30-bed capacity secondary general hospital in 2003
as two years after as a tertiary 50-bed capacity hospital in 2005.
Doctor De Vera said
the success of the hospital
was by means a blessing
from God who has been
guiding them all along.
These successes will
not be possible if we did not

put into realization our

CORE values.. C is for Commitment, O is for Outreach,
R is for Relationships, and
E is for Excellence core
values that molded the prestigious image of our
DVMCI family, she explained.
She also gave emphasis on the power of 3 Cs,
which is the theme of the
25th celebration, Commitment, Compassion, and Collaborative health care service.
It is no coincidence,
that we followed the advice
of Pope Francis, to look at
the present with passion!
Living the present with passion means: living with total commitment, emergy,
enthusiasm, joy and fidelity to DVMCIs vision and
mission, she said.
De Vera emphasized
that at DVMCI VIP ka, (at
DVMCI Very Important Patient ka!), which she said
could not be given compassionately if it will not be
coupled with commitment
to serve with one another.
The lady doctor who
revealed that she has undergone brain surgery was so
immense in her speech and

challenge the staff, stockholders and the whole

DVMCI family to look forward and see what lies
ahead of them in the coming years.
She said, we have to
look into the future with
hope, if we have lived the
present with passion, we
can be assured of genuine

hope for the future, the lady doctor added.
She reminded her staff that the passion should not
only be given to their patients but also to their co-workers
in all sections of the hospital from ESD to housekeeping
section.
Our passion moreover, is not only for our patients. It
is also for our co-workers in all sections of the hospital
from the medical staff to the ESD and housekeeping service. To be patient to one another through thick and thin,
to forgive each others weaknesses, to encourage each
other so we can improve and do things the proper way,
Dr. Bona added.
The lady doctor also encouraged the staff and stockholders to still have a proper attitude of positivity as they
face the coming years for DVMCI.
De Vera Medical Center is the first hospital in Isabela
that is offering the high technology Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) which is a good tool in diagnosing illnesses
of people now.
Now DVMCI is one of the most sought hospitals not
only in Santiago City and the whole of Isabela but the
whole of Cagayan Valley Region. Joe Dasig/Benz Selmo

Speech of Dr. Bonaleth...

CITY OF ILAGAN, Isabela The provinces anti-crime

head has expressed his optimism that more police station chiefs in the province will be recognized by the
Police Regional Office-2 (PRO-2) for their efforts in the
fight against crime and illegal drugs.
Ysmael Atienza, Isabela Anti-Crime head, is hopeful upon knowing that only the police station chiefs of
the cities of Cauayan and Ilagan and the towns of Jones
and Santo Tomas were commended by the regional headquarters recently.
He said all the police station chiefs assigned in the
province have exerted their efforts in the fight against
illegal drugs and in ensuring peace and order all over
the province.
Although there were 19 police chiefs who were relieved recently from their respective posts due to minimal performance in the fight against illegal drugs, Atienza
said there are still 16 police chiefs who have done their
best in the governments anti-drug campaigns and in
the maintenance of peace and security in their respective areas.
We hope that the other police chiefs who have
excelled in their assigned tasks will be given commendation, he added. Merlito G. Edale Jr.

Malleability, Durability and Endurance. Because Silver as a metal has the highest thermal electric conductivity and alone is capable of the highest degree of polish
being a very malleable metallic element.
Silver is used to make jewelries, coins, knives and forks. Its shining qualities make silver most fitting for its uses.
Pearl, Ruby, Gold and Diamond on the other hand, are all but precious elements for beautification and sophistication.
In our journey to our Silver Founding Anniversary, I would like to focus on the wisdom of Pope Francis when he said: LOOK AT THE PAST WITH
GRATITUDE, LOOK AT THE PRESENT WITH PASSION AND LOOK AT THE FUTURE WITH HOPE!
Looking back, re-living our humble beginnings as a pediatric ten-bed primary hospital in 1991, to our growth as a secondary thirty bed general hospital in 2003,
and as a tertiary level 50 bed medical center in 2005 God our Loving Father has been with us all along, and even blessed us with numerous awards, both locally and
internationally! These recognitions empowered us to always improve our marketplace, through the concerted efforts of all our stakeholders. Our stockholders, our
staff, and all partners in healthcare, have put their own share in improving our health service through best practices and improved relationships. These successes
will not be possible, if we did not put into realization our CORE VALUES.. C is for COMMITMENT, O is for OUTREACH, R is for RELATIONSHIPS, and E is for
EXCELLENCE CORE VALUES THAT MOLDED THE PRESTIGIOUS IMAGE OF OUR DVMCI FAMILY. Thus we pray, with deep humility and gratitude:
FATHER, WE ALL GIVE THANKS TO YOU, FOR BEING IN THE CENTER OF OUR ORGANIZATION THROUGH THESE PAST 25 YEARS!
Dear family, now that we have reached our Silver Anniversary, it is time to look at the present with PASSION!
This year, God blesses us again in winning the Clinical Service Improvement Excellence Award, an International Award of Hospital Management Asia. Among
365 entries, we were chosen for another Best Practice - which is our theme for todays celebration: The Power of 3cs: COMMITMENT, COMPASSION AND
COLLABORATIVE HEALTH CARE SERVICE.
It is no coincidence, that we followed the advice of POPE FRANCIS, TO LOOK AT THE PRESENT WITH PASSION! Living the present with passion means:
living with total commitment, energy, enthusiasm, joy and fidelity to DVMCIs Vision and Mission.
In this health care service, if we look at the present with passion, we would delight the needs of our patients, the real reason for our existence, (IN DVMCI, VERY
IMPORTANT PATIENT KA!). The whole family cannot give this passionate/compassionate care if we will not couple it with our commitment to serve and
collaborate with one another in the delivery of quality health service to all. More importantly, this passionate care makes us also distinct from other health care
providers!
Our passion moreover, is not only for our patients. It is also for our co-workers in all sections of the hospital: from the Medical Staff to the ESD/Housekeeping
Service! To be patient to one another through thick and thin, to forgive each others weaknesses, to encourage each other so we can improve and do things the proper
way the living out of this compassionate caring, was the main reason why ISO has given us accreditation these past 3 years!
Now, what lies ahead for DVMCI after tonights celebration? We have to look into the future with HOPE! If we have lived the present with passion, we can be
assured of genuine hope for the future.
Amidst the different threats and obstacles we may face in the coming years, we should have the proper attitude of positivity, while having faith and confidence
that our Heavenly Father will take care of us, as we travel to the 30th, 40th, 50th, Anniversaries this is HOPE entrusting to God all our being to completely
surrender to Him our workplace, and fulfill DVMCIs Vision-Mission to the fullest!
As we continue onwards to celebrate our 25th Founding Anniversary, let us not forget to relate to the shining qualities of silver: strength, adaptability,
malleability, durability and endurance!
Let us continue to look at the past with gratitude, the present with passion and the future with hope!
In behalf of the DVMCI Board of Directors, headed by Dr. Generaldo Maylem and the MANCOM, headed by Mrs. Juvelyn Basilio thank you, thank you, thank
you, for everything that has been and will continue to be!
To the organizing committee, headed by Michelle Grace Oliveros, inspired by their consultant Sir Rey Andres and supported by all employees of DVMCI
through their monthly town hall meetings. I know you have started planning for this event since day one of 2016. In spite of your busy schedules in your own task
in the hospital, you have generously shared your time, talent, and treasure for the success of our celebration. Maraming, maraming salamat po!
On the personal plane, my loving hubby Buddy, my beloved children; Franz, Ian, DK, my wonderful granddaughter Iya, and most of all the whole MUSNGIDEVERA FAMILIES, salute and thank you all, for all your continued support to DVMCI!
Congratulations! Happy 25th Anniversary to all of us! Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year too! May God bless us all! Enjoy the night!

ang
kontratang hindi natatapos
taong 2015 pa sinimulan.

Nanggigilid ang luha ni Mrs. Rosita Bernardo habang kausap ang ilang kaanak sa nakaburol na labi ng kanyang
mister na alkalde ng Palanan, Isabela na nasawi sa isang freak accident sa Daang Maharlika sa Brgy. Sinsayon,
Santiago City. Valley Hot News lensman,jgd.

Dito nagtapos sa medyo malalim na kabukiran sa bahagi ng Santiago City ang Toyota Fortuner na sinakyan ni Mayor
Rodolfo Rody Bernardo ng Palanan, Isabela at tatlo pang iba. Galing sa Maynila ang apat na biktima sa isang
kumperensya ng DILG-BUB projects. Naka-detalyado ang butas sa kalsada sa bahagi ng Brgy. Malapat, Cordon,
Isabela hanggang sa magpagulong-gulong ang kanilang sinakyang SUV hanggang sa bumuluk pababa ng kabukiran
matapos di umanong sumabog ang gulong sa harapan. Valley Hot News lensman,jgd.

Kinumpirma din ni
Engr. Angubong sa Valley
Hot News na ipinasubasta
ng 4th Engineering District
ang public work na ito at
ang tanggapan ng 4th ED
ang siyang nakaka-alam ng
lahat ng completion na
dapat matagal na natapos
kung ang pag-uusapan ay
date completion ng
particular project.
Gayunman, sinabi ng
opisyal na tila nagkamali ng
sukat
at
mukhang
lumampas sa sukat na hindi
naman sapol ng kontratang
iginawad kay Mr. Palomo
Construction firm.
Ilang libo ng motorista,
kotse, mga bus at
motorsiklo ang manganingani ng nakaranas ng
disgrasya, marami na ring
motorsiklo
ang
sumemplang sa tuwing
mabubulaga sila na may
butas palang naghihintay
sa dulong proyekto ni
Palomo.
Wala pong warning
device o sensyales na may
sira pa palang bahagi ng
kalsada, kaya kailangang
kalampagin din ang DPWH
at
makasuhan
sa
perhuwesyong idinudulot
nito sa aming motorista,
kuwento ng isang nakakotse na madalas daw
masaldak ang kanyang

sasakyan lalo na kung

gipitan at mag-counter flow
para makaiwas sa malalim na
lubak.
Si
Mayor
Rody
Bernardo ay naupong
alkalde sa Palanan, Isabela
sa loob ng lima at kalahating
buwan matapos pumalit sa
namayapang nahalal na
Mayor Bernie Bernardo
matapos atakihin sa puso
ilang araw na siyay
maproklamang nanalo sa
halalan noong 2016.
Si Vice Mayor Elizabeth
Betty Bernardo, kapatid ng

at
nakatakdang manumpa kay
Governor Bojie Dy.
Bumuhos naman ang

De Lima crying persecution

SEN. LEILA de Lima is crying persecution due to the string of
criminal cases filed against her, the latest of which is regarding
her advice to her driver and bodyguard Ronnie Dayan to go
into hiding after being summoned by the House committee on
justice to testify in the inquiry on the illegal drug trade inside
the national penitentiary, New Bilibid Prison (NBP).
Leaders of the House
trooped to the Department of
Justice (DoJ) to charge de
Lima for blocking the
smooth conduct of the
House probe.
Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez led House members in filing the
case against de Lima.
House Majority Floor Leader Rodolfo Farias and House
committee on justice chairman Reynaldo Umali joined in
signing the charges against de Lima for violation of Article 150
of the Revised Penal Code for disobedience to summons issued
by the national assembly, its committee or subcommittees.
Her acts in frustrating the House proceedings started with
de Lima ignoring a House invitation to attend the inquiries in
September 20 and 21 and October 5 and 6 claiming that the probe
was merely meant to persecute and humiliate her.
De Lima was, however, at the center of the NBP scandal as
high-profile inmates identified her as being the recipient of drug
money and even organized the operations to raise money
through the narcotics trade to fund her senatorial bid.
Real, however, were the efforts of Leila to block the conduct
of the drugs trade hearings at the House in barring herself and
Dayan from being at the probe. It was only when Dayan was
arrested as ordered by the House did he appear in the inquiry.
After Dayans arrest, the congressional inquiry was reopened
and during the hearing, Dayan and his daughter testified that
de Lima instructed him not to appear in Congress. The senator
gave the instruction through a text message to Dayans daughter.
The House suit said as an incumbent senator, former
secretary of Justice and a lawyer, advising and inducing Dayan
to hide and not to attend in the House inquiry for which he was
duly summoned is tantamount to inducing disobedience to
summons issued by Congress in which she is a member.
It is not persecution but karma that now afflicts de Lima.

Understanding the Duterte puzzle

HAS the United States still do

be crude with his words and

history of Americas treatment
of the Philippines and its

does not admit it.

Lalo na nitong Christmas

boundary ng Santiago City.
Kinumpirmang muli ni Engr.
Ernesto Angoluan, chief ng Regional Monitoring group ng
DPWH Regional Office for 4th
District, Isabela.
Una rito, ayon sa Cordon
Police Station, mag-asawang

daang maharlika-projects di
umano nina Regie Lopez at
Jesse Palomo at James Bantilan,
palpak din dahilan sa noon
pang 2015 nagsimula ang infra
projects hanggang doon sa Apo

Ano ngayon ang magiging
palusutan ng mga private contractors at DPWH sa madalas na
pagka-antala ng kanilang
projects. May pera naman na
inilaan sa ganitong public
works subalit inabot ng
pagkatagal-tagal para tapusin.
District Engineers or his Assistant District Engineers and
project Engineers must have
its own task force to strictly
monitor their accomplishments, matino na ang takbo o
medyo may pagka-delay. Then
in any cases these officials including the COA must observe
ang make corresponding reports what makes them so slow
and dilly-dallying move.
So unfortunate that lives are
put in danger due to this kind
poor handling of government
projects. God Bless those being
killed in road mishaps.

and
brainwashed for decades and
decades that the Philippines
cannot survive without the
military and economic might of
America
aiding
the
Philippines, the US was seen as
a savior for years and years by
too many Filipinos.
One

administration after another,
always, always did Americas

America goes to the extent
of judging what it thinks the
Philippines and other weaker
countries in the world arent
doing right and, in some
instances, the US threatens
sanctions on such countries.
Threaten Duterte with
withholding funds or arms?
Thats really dumb. As he says,
he can always go to the AIIB
and borrow funds. Arms? The

country can always buy arms

elsewhere including Israel.
Yet America, that preaches
its kind of democracy and even
imposes its democracy on
countries that the US sees as
foes; that denounces regimes
that the US believes do not
follow the dictates of the US
government, it funds and arms
rebels and opposition forces to
topple regimes that America
wants to control.
In the Philippines, when a
Philippine president does not
do the bidding of America, the
US government, enters the
picture to oust the Philippine
presidents they dislike,
propping up the political
opposition that also looks to
America to get them in power

about democracy, yet destroys

Taasan pa ang tax sa sigarilyo

MAGIGING P32 na ang isang
kaha ng sigarilyo para sa murang
brand at P35 naman para sa
mamahaling brand kapag naging
batas ang House Bill 4144 o ang
Sin Tax Reform Act.
Pinaboran
ng
176
na
mambabatas ang panukala kaya
tuluy-tuloy na ang paggulong nito
hanggang maging ganap na batas.
Maaaring sa susunod na taon ay
madama na ng mga may bisyong
yosi ang bigat ng dagdag sa
presyo
ng
sigarilyo.
Sa
pagpapataw ng bagong tax,
inaasahang
kikita
ang
pamahalaan ng P14 bilyon.
Napakaganda ng panukalang
ito. Bukod sa kikita ang
pamahalaan sa malaking tax
mula sa sigarilyo, marami rin ang
mahihikayat na tumigil na sa
pagyoyosi. Sa pagmahal ng
presyo ng sigarilyo, maaaaring
talikuran
na
nila
ang
nakakamatay na bisyo.
Sa isang pag-aaral, marami na
ang tumigil sa paninigarilyo mula
nang ipatupad ang pagtaas ng tax
sa sigarilyo noong 2014. Umabot
na 4.5 mil-yong Pinoy ang tumigil
sa paninigarilyo mula nang itaas
ang presyo ng bawat pakete.
Napag-isip-isip marahil na
sayang ang ibinibili ng yosi at
nagiging dahilan pa ng kanser.
Nakatulong din umano nang
malaki ang pag-lalagay ng
graphic warnings sa pakete ng
siga-rilyo. Ang paglalagay ng
graphic warnings ay naka--saad
sa Republic Act 10643 na
nilagdaan ni President Noynoy
Aquino noong 2014. Kabilang sa
mga ilalagay sa kaha o pakete ng
sigarilyo ay mga retrato ng sakit
na nakukuha sa paninigarilyo
gaya ng cancer sa baga,
lalamunan, bibig, pisngi, dila.
emphysema, katarata, sakit sa
puso at gangrene. Ayon sa DOH,
87,600 Pilipino ang namamatay
taun-taon dahil sa mga sakit na
nakukuha sa paninigarilyo.
Maaaring dumami pa ang

titigil sa pagyoyosi kapag

lubusan nang naipatupad ang
bagong tax sa sigarilyo. Sino pa
ang bibili ng yosi na napakamahal
at nagdudulot ng kanser sa baga.
Mas magiging matimbang ang
kalusugan kaysa sa hatak ng
bisyong ito na walang naidudulot
sa katawan. Mas maganda kung
isasagad na sa super-taas ang tax
para wala na halos bumili ng yosi.
Ito ang dapat.
Provincial buses ibawal na sa
EDSA
EPEKTIBO ang ginawa ng
Metro Manila Develop-ment
Authority
(MMDA)
na
pagbabawal na maka-raan ang
mga provincial buses mula 6:00
hanggang 10:00 a.m. sa ilang
bahagi ng EDSA particular sa
Cubao area. Biglang lumuwag
ang trapiko noong Huwebes nang
ipatupad ang kautusan ng
MMDA. Ang ban ay tatagal
hanggang Disyembre 31, 2016. Sa
memorandum ng MMDA, bawal
dumaan sa EDSA corner Timog
Avenue at EDSA corner P.

Honor Comes to Those Who Honor

REALITY is that some may feel their parents dont deserve honor.
Some parents have been abusive or neglectful and it affects our lives
and spiritual well-being. That does not change the fact that God
commanded that we honor our parents.
So how can we honor an abusive parent? Here are some practical tips: if you have distance yourself from them, call your parent
and listen. Remain quiet rather than defend yourself when hurtful
things are said. Let go of expectations that your parent will ever be
the parent you want him or her to be; accept them for who they are.
Cultivate an attitude of compassion for the things your parent did
right and express gratitude for even slight efforts to show love.
Marriage is another relationship to honor. Hebrews 13:4 Give
honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage.
God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.
We are to honor the institution of marriage. We are to recognize
the great value that God has placed on marriage. Not just our marriage but also all marriages. We are not to behave in any such manner that would bring dishonor to another persons marriage. We
must be careful that our actions or words not lead to the termination
of someones marriage.

control over these countries.

A case in point is Syria. The
civil war in Syria came about
because the US and of course
its allies in Europe wanted
Bashir Assad out of power and
replaced with the Syrian rebels
they supported. But when
Russia got into the picture, in
the end, Assad still reigns, and
the rebels and the US plans to
control the Syrian government
though the rebels had they
won the civil war.
So the US and its European
allies again went through their
usual big stick by again
imposing sanctions that
however, hardly work at least
in the case of Russia, which is
also a military power or China,
for that matter. The US tried to
flex its muscles against China
due to the South China Sea.
The US, with an American
lapdog in then Philippine
President Noynoy Aquino,
created a serious rift between
China and the Philippines,
where too many opportunities
in trade with China were lost.
The
US
needs
the
Philippines as its ally in Asean,
and even Asia, especially with
the US pivot to Asia, and so
five American bases in the
country,
disguised
as
temporary visiting American
forces were in the works.
But it was not to be, with the
election of the popular Duterte,

and this time, America cannot

control him. And so, the usual
US tactics are applied such
as the withholding of the MCC,
and the sale of arms, which to
Duterte, means nothing. He
prefers
having
his
independent foreign policy,
which is to have good and
lasting trade relations with
other countries, such as China
and Russia, both foes of the US.
The MCC aid is hardly
going to create a financial
problem for the Philippines
and more importantly, it wont
make Duterte do what the US
wants him to do. No MCC?
Duterte can do a tit for tat. He
can have the Visiting Forces
Agreement junked as well as
the planned five US bases in
the country.
For once, here is a
Philippine president, who can
be as crude as he is charming
when he wants to be, as he has
shown Asean leaders and
China during his visits to their
states.
It is time America learns to
understand the Philippines
and its people, instead of trying
to oust Duterte by going with
the yellows and make its plans
with the Philippine military for
the ouster.
Maybe this time, the ouster
plot will fail.
The answer to the Duterte
puzzle is for America to treat
the Philippines under Duterte
right not as a vassal but with
the respect an ally deserves.
Nothing more, nothing less.

maraming pangunahing kalsada

sa Metro Manila. Hindi na
pinapayagan ang mga nakacoding na private vehicle na
magbiyahe pagsapit ng 10:00 a.m.
Plano ring ituluy-tuloy ang no
window hour policy.
Kung magtatagumpay ang
bagong traffic scheme sa mga
provincial
buses,
dapat
palawigin na ito. Huwag nang
papasukin sa EDSA ang mga
provincial buses para hindi
magsikip ang trapiko. Ituloy
naman ang naunang plano na ang
lahat ng provincial buses mula
north at south ay magkaroon ng

sariling station bago sumapit ng

EDSA. Hindi na sila papasok ng
EDSA para hindi makabigat sa
traffic.
Nararapat
din
namang
paigtingin ng MMDA ang
paghuli sa mga colorum buses na
nagpapasikip din ng traffic sa
EDSA.
Gibain
ang
mga
basketball court sa gitna ng
kalsada. Wasakin ang mga
tindahan ng vendors. Walisin ang
mga nakaparadang sasakyan sa
mga alternate route para walang
sagabal sa motorista. Kapag
naisagawa ang mga ito, tiyak
wala nang problema sa trapiko.

If we are married, we must remain faithful to one another so that

honor will be shown to the institution of marriage. We can dishonor
marriage by immoral actions, adultery, and divorce. Marriage is a
sacred bond between people. To get divorced is to dishonor a sacred
institution. God does not take it lightly when a sacred institution that
He established is dishonored and we have the promise of judgment.
Men have a greater responsibility toward honoring marriage than
women. 1 Peter 3:7 In the same way, you husbands must give honor
to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in Gods gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers
will not be hindered.
Men, we are to honor our wives. We are to recognize the great
value that God has placed on our wives. We are to treat them with
understanding.
Let me tell you a story. A man walking along a California beach
found a lamp. When he rubbed it a genie appeared and said, I will
grant you one wish. The man said, Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can
drive over anytime I want to.
The genie answered, Your request may be beyond my abilities.
Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking; the supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific; the concrete and steel it
would take. I would think with one wish you would desire something more personal.
The man thought for a long time and finally said, I know what I
want. I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know what
she feels inside, what she is thinking when she gives me the silent
treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothing
to my question of whats wrong , and how I can make her truly
happy?

DOH to boost countryside health services P1.6M ipinagkaloob

sa brgy Lipuga,
Alfonso Castaneda

BAYOMBONG, Nueva
Vizcaya The Department
of Health (DOH) will be using its P144 billion 2017
funds to boost health services in the countryside.
Secretary Paulyn Jean
Ubial, in a recent visit to
this province, said their
fund, the biggest so far in
DOH history, will be primarily used for the scholarship offerings, free medicines and strengthening of
the national and local government unit hospitals,
among others.

She said they will be

establishing medicine outlets in lowland and upland
barangays so that the poor
will have access to free
medicines at all times.
We need to attract investors to address high
cost of medicines by putting-up Pharma-Zones
which will serve as drug
outlets and the poor will
not be charged, Ubial
said, adding that local
manufacturers will help
much in reducing the high
cost of medicines because

in Asia.
She said scholarships
for health courses will also
be offered for Indigenous
Peoples (IPs) and remote
communities to empower
their villages.
By investing on
health education, we will
expect their services in return. We do not expect that
doctors will be willing to be
assigned in far areas so this
is the solution, Ubial said.
She also said the government, through the DOH,
will be covering the remaining 8 percent of the total
population of Filipinos on
their enrolment to the Philippine Health Insurance
Program (PHIP).
A free urinalysis
check-up for the poor will
also be done to prevent
simple infections in becoming a disease, she said.
To raise the standards
of hospitals in the country,
Ubial said they will be
implementing the Hospital
Development Plan (HDP)
which seeks to address the
gap on population-bed ra-

tio.

She said the HDP will

provide additional 17,000
bed requirement in the
country to raise the capacity of hospitals nationwide,
along with the construction
of other health centers for
cancer, lung, eye, kidney
and blood banks, onebarangay- one- health- station and mental hospitals,
among others.
The infrastructure
support to hospitals, Ubial
said requires a rough estimate of about P174 billion.
She also advised the
health workers to be kind,
polite and compassionate
with their patients, especially the poor.
These plans are intended to make health services a right of every Filipino and not only as a privilege. Let us value our clients and patients because
they are the reason why we
are here, Ubial said during the recent health summit at the Veterans Regional Hospital (VRH) in
Bayombong town. Ben

Legarda: Free irrigation for farmers in 2017 Natl Budget

SENATOR LOREN Legarda today said that another important highlight of the 2017 national budget is the government
subsidy on the irrigation service fees (ISF) being paid by farmers to the National Irrigation Administration (NIA).
The P2 billion additional allocation for NIA under the proposed 2017 General Appropriations Act (GAA) is intended
to cover the ISF collected by the agency from farmers associations.
An accompanying Special Provision for this purpose specifies that the P2 billion allocation will be used to cover the
operating requirements of NIA and the maintenance of existing irrigation facilities which were previously funded out of
the collections from ISF.
Our farmers, who feed the nation, are among the poorest of the poor who urgently need government support and
intervention. At present, they need to pay the irrigation service fee for NIA to irrigate their farms when, in fact, what we
need to pursue is the lowering of production costs so we can achieve food security, encourage
more citizens to engage in or go back to farming, and improve the income of our small
farmers, said Legarda, Chair of the Senate Committee on Finance.
The NIA is authorized to collect the ISF pursuant to Republic Act No. 3601, but
Legarda said it is time to amend the said law.
This intervention in the budget is only the first step to free our small farmers from
the added burden of having to pay for irrigation fees. What we really intend is to make
it a policy of government, she explained.
Legarda is the co-author of the proposed Free Irrigation Reform and Restructuring
Act, which seeks to remove from NIA the functions of maintaining irrigation projects
and collecting irrigation services and other fees.
Under the said measure, fees being collected by NIA from its irrigation beneficiaries
will be discontinued and the management and maintenance of irrigation facilities will be
turned over to the beneficiaries and will be provided with professional management
support.
The free irrigation for farmers under the 2017 national budget will be a big
boost for the agriculture sector and we will continue to support improvements in
the sector through various measures and policies, including the immediate passage of the proposed Free Irrigation Act, Legarda concluded.

BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya The Department of Health

(DOH) has allocated P3 billion next year for the
governments Drug Rehabilitation Program (DRP).
DOH Secretary Jean Paulyn Ubial said the fund is
bigger than the P600 million allotted for this year.
She said the fund will be used for the construction
and operationalization of Drug Rehabilitation Centers
(DRCs) in the country.
There is already an existing 10,000-bed DRC in Nueva
Ecija and another one will be built in Ilagan City, Isabela
next year, Ubila said.
According to Ubial, the DRCs will require an estimate
of P10,000.00 monthly fee for well-off patients while the
poor will receive free accommodation and services.
The patients will be encouraged to engage in livelihood projects to support their daily food requirements,
she said.
The DRCs, Ubial said has been conceived with the
intensified anti-illegal drugs campaign of the national government to weed out illegal drug trafficking and use in the
country. Ben Moses Ebreo
