  • Aid Money Drying Up
    Aid money drying up Daily Tribune​ - Published 2 days ago on April 27, 2020 12:07 AM By ​Hananeel Bordey Photo credit: Facebook page — Department of Social Welfare and Development @dswdserves As a result of the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in Metro Manila and other hotbeds of the coronavirus disease 2019 being stretched until 15 May, relief money is about to run out, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Rolando Bautista said. Bautista, on Sunday, indicated that funds for the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) given to the country’s poor is fast being depleted and the remaining resources will have to be distributed only to those who badly needed assistance. Under SAP, the government distributed P8,000 to each poor family in Metro Manila and P5,000 per household in the provinces. “The implementation of the SAP only to beneficiaries in ECQ areas is in consideration with the budget availability,” he said. Bautista referred to the statements of Department of Finance (DoF) Secretary Carlos Dominguez and Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Secretary Wendel Avisado during a recent briefing led by President Rodrigo Duterte where both officials said only P45 billion remains of available funds after the government spent P352.7 billion for SAP in the ECQ’s initial one-and-a-half month scheduled to end 30 April. Only in ECQ areas “The bottomline there is really the budget intended for the succeeding days of the quarantine period is running short,” Bautista said. Under the new directive announced by the government, ECQ will be retained until mid-May in Metro Manila, Benguet, Pangasinan, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac, Zambales, Batangas, Laguna, Cavite, Rizal, Quezon, Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Albay and Catanduanes, Davao del Norte and Davao City.

  • President Rodrigo Duterte's Economic Team
    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 07/31/2020 6:07:26 PM Media Releases (February to June 2020) 1. March 16 Media Release: Philippine DoF pledges over USD525 million to support health authorities and provide economic relief during COVID-19 March 16, 2020 PRESS RELEASE Gov’t economic team rolls out P27.1 B package vs COVID-19 pandemic President Rodrigo Duterte’s economic team has announced a P27.i-billion package of priority actions to help frontliners fight the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and provide economic relief to people and sectors affected by the virus-induced slowdown in economic activity. The package consists of government initiatives to better equip our health authorities in fighting COVID-19 and also for the relief and recovery efforts for infected people and the various sectors now reeling from the adverse impact of the lethal pathogen. Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III, who chairs the Duterte Cabinet's Economic Development Cluster (EDC), said on Monday the measures in the package “are designed to do two things: First is to ensure that funding is available for the efforts of the Department of Health (DOH) to contain the spread of COVID-19. Second is to provide economic relief to those whose businesses and livelihoods have been affected by the spread of this disease.” “As directed by President Duterte, the government will provide targeted and direct programs to guarantee that benefits will go to our workers and other affected sectors. We have enough but limited resources, so our job is to make sure that we have sufficient funds for programs mitigating the adverse effects of COVID-19 on our economy,” he added.

  • Secure Meds Via Hi-Tech
    Headline Secure meds via hi-tech MediaTitle Philippines Daily Tribune(www.tribune.net.ph) Date 18 Sep 2019 Section NEWS Order Rank 2 Language English Journalist N/A Frequency Daily Secure meds via hi-tech Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, in turn, assured lawmakers that there are no expired medicines as of the moment as the drugs were already cascaded to DoH regional offices which will be distributed to the provincial hospitals. The use of advanced technology or computerization was pushed yesterday as a solution to the overstocking of medicine, worth P367.158 million, that the Commission on Audit recently reported were close to expiry. Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go, who presided over the budget deliberations on the P160- billion budget of the Health Department along with Senators Nancy Binay and Cynthia Villar flagged the inefficient system of the Department of Health (DoH) in stocking medicines in warehouses. “Secretary Duque, who determines the medicine that we need and procure, especially in hospitals because we notice that you are letting the medicines expire inside the warehouses. I think there is a problem in the way or the system of distribution,” Go told DoH officials. Subsequently, Villar asked if they are using a computerized system in handling and monitoring the stock medicines. “In the procurement, we already have the Procurement Operations and Management Information System but with regards to the SCMO (Supply Chain Management Office), we are now creating an end-to-end information system,” Undersecretary Myrna Cabotaje told the panel. DoH warned Villar, for her part, was not convinced of DoH’s vow to improve its operations and further explained that given the P19 billion requested budget for medicines in 2020, the agency’s inventory should already be computerized.
