Advocacy for Health legislation

It is possibly the right time to espouse the promulgation of new and better legislation touching upon sensitive health issues such as making more medicines, more readily available at the grassroots, instead of the money intended for their purchase simply going to the pockets of the corrupt colluding private sector and public officials.

This will be landmark achievement of government considering that there are billions of Philippine Pesos lost in ghost deliveries of medicines, padding of costs for medicines and similar practices.

Developing care systems

According to Jesus Comedido, M.D., many hospitals are often mislabeled. Instead of the titles MEDICAL CITY, MEDICAL CENTER, HOSPITAL, they should use the suffix or prefix:

CENTER FOR DYING

The Manila Bay Hospital City will help provide the lead in R & D for care systems that as much as humanly and technologically possible will allow the patient to have a choice about his health, instead of being led to his passing.

Liberty Hills

In 2012, the Department of National Defense requested a concept of a retirement and recreation village for its property in Palico, Barangay Bilaran, Municipality of Nasugbu, Batangas Province.

Cyberpark developed a project profile and pre-feasibility study, complete staff work (CSW) for the subject property.

After a considerable length of time of gestation on the concept and a firm offer to build the retirement village, Cyberpark determined to look for an alternate site in the same town of Nasugbu. An initial buildable area of 414.304 hectares (1023.76748 acres) was found. The initial area has an adjacent lot of 600 hectares (1482.63 acres) and an expansion area of 9,000 hectares (22,238.48 acres). Apart from the site in Nasugbu, a parcel of real estate formerly offered to Cyberpark with a size of 400 hectares (988.422 acres) awaits to be developed in adjacent town, Maragondon, Cavite, Province and negotiations are under way to acquire an 82.3 hectare (203.3677 acres) lot in the seafront side of San Juan, Batangas Province that is famous for its beaches at Laiya, San Juan. On August 10, 2013, the Board of Directors of Greengold Cyberparkholdings Corporation undertook the site survey of the Nasugbu, Batangas property. Please click here for added information.

Reconstruction and Recovery

The World Banksays that timely reconstruction will help lessen the impact of super typhoon Yolanda. Before we digest these words, it is also significant to look back into the past.

There was a time in fairly recent past when NBC news anchor Brian Williams sounded like a broken record repeating the words over and over again that: Aviation in the United States of America is dying. This is now true with Philippine air line companies and selected several other businesses in the Philippines right at this very moment.

During the post-Yolanda period, only at least one air line company that very enterprisingly lowered its passenger rates (presumably including for cargo) per seat-mile, notwithstanding that the Philippine government ordered that a number of fees and charges being levied in the aviation sector will be waived, among other behests in order to lessen the burden for victims of the calamity and those that had to fly to ground zero to participate in disaster relief and recovery operations . . . .

Dire is a weak description for the situation that a select number of businesses in the Philippines are in right now. More > >

Letter to the United Nations

Open Letter to the United Nations

November 21, 2013

HIS EXCELLENCY

BAN KI MOON

Secretary General

The United Nations

UN Headquarters

First Avenue at 46th Street

New York, NY 10017

USA

Dearest Secretary General Ban:

Our warmest greetings!

Kindly please understand, I had seriously debated on whether to send this communication to you or not. I decided on going through with it since I believe that the result would turn out for the better. Nothing that transpired in the past has diminished nor degraded my respect and love for the UN. I have no intention in demeaning anyone's position or creating anything negative between myself, my group and the UN even if that can't be helped, but this has to be done, and I shall humbly embrace the consequences of my act.

After tropical cyclone Haiyan aka Yolanda, not a surprising lot of relief organizations are now helping in Tacloban, in the towns of Leyte, Samar, Cebu, Bohol, Capiz, Aklan, even parts of Mindanao. Entire states committed volumes of resources to come to the aid of the Philippines. As published in the media, the Philippine Government stated that the affected areas include nine (9) Regions in the entire archipelago that consists of seventeen (17) Regions. . . It is presumed that all of these relief organizations and representatives of their own countries are operating out of the goodness of heart and the desire to be of sincere help to the people of Tacloban City, the municipalities of Leyte, Samar, Cebu, Bohol, Capiz, Aklan, portions of Mindanao. Although some are at a loss to convince others of their intentions: "just wait... in due time we are convince you of our legitimaty."

Some of these relief organizations are part and parcel of the United Nations organization. Be that as it may, most or all of these organizations anyway, under the principle that all states are municipalities embraced by the founding charter of League of Nations that is now the United Nations, are governed under the auspices of the august body that you head. The people of Tacloban City and the rest of the areas affected by the tropical cyclone Haiyan aka Yolanda, are grateful for all of the help of the UN, the honorable member states under it and the public sector as well as private relief groups that are now helping.
