I conducted an investigation on Yolanda & other calamity stricken areas housing irregularities in the morning. Then I submitted the health committee report and delivered my sponsorship speech on the Universal Health Care Bill in the afternoon. After that I presided briefly over plenary.
FIRST-EVER PPI-PHAP HEALTH INNOVATION AND COLLABORATION AWARDS
I’m thrilled to be one of the guest speakers at the inaugural Philippine Press Institute-Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association of the Philippines (PPI-PHAP) Health Innovation and Collaboration Awards.
Thank you to PPI Chairman and Manila Standard editor-in-chief Rolando Estabillo as well as to former DOH Usec. Dr. Enrique Tayag.
In the Senate, we have been working hard to pass laws that will improve our healthcare system. In previous Congresses, I authored the Universal Health Care Act and the National Institute Cancer Control Act.
Let us work together, journalists and policymakers alike, to harness the transformative potential of information and collaboration in building a healthier, more resilient Philippines for generations to come.
Once again, congratulations to all the nominees and awardees. Maraming salamat at mabuhay ang malayang pamamahayag!
