As a Primary Care Facility, EcoMed offers a range of healthcare services that look to address the primary health care needs of people. These services are an Outpatient Department, Minor Operating Room, Birthing Facilities, Level 2 Clinical Laboratory, Radiology Department, and a Pharmacy, all operating on a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week, basis.“Through our PCF, we hope to reach out and serve a larger portion of our community through our expanded services,” shares EcoMed’s President, Ricardo V. Pascua, Jr. “This is really in keeping with our Mission of enhanc ing the quality of life of our patients by providing relevant, high-quality, and compassionate healthcare.”
Adhering to the concept of maximizing space with welldesigned cabinetry, all the bedrooms were fitted with floorto-ceiling wardrobe cabinets and dressers. The ground floor bedroom was converted into an office-playroom and provided with customized cabinets and study tables, and a seating area with built-in storage for toys.
How happy is the client exactly with Merlgen’s services? Does a call requesting to design new additional modular cabi nets for the master’s bedroom and office-playroom say enough?
“We are happy and honored to be the first private Primary Care Facility here in Davao City and in the entire Region XI,” remarked Leonilo G. Claudio, EcoMed’s chairman. “This is our way of actively supporting the government’s move, through DOH, towards Universal Health Care here in the Philippines.”
ECOLAND Medical and Wellness Center, Inc. (EcoMed) marked the opening of its Primary Care Facility (PCF) operations on Saturday, September 3 with a blessing and ribbon-cutting ceremony. This was also a landmark event for DOH Region XI as EcoMed is the first DOH-accredited private Primary Care Facility in Region XI, and one of the first licensed PCFs in the entire country.
The kitchen counter extends to a small bar, which serves as a breakfast area, connecting the main dining room and the kitchen.From the wide array of materials offered by Merlgen, the client was quick to choose the AcrylIc Grey for the cabinets and the Crystal Black quartz countertop. She said it will blend well with the home’s interior design look and color. Plus, the materials are easy to maintain.
But it’s not only the kitchen the client wanted to upgrade. She also wanted all the living room, four bedrooms fitted with new cabinets as well. The choice of material? Acrylic White. The glossy finish exudes modern feel, the bright shade emits a spacious vibe, and overall, the finish is easy to maintain.
“The PhilHealth Konsulta Package is really meant to extend primary or basic healthcare at zero or very low cost to the patients, therefore making it accessible to all Filipinos. The goal is to have people take care of their health through regular medical consultations. While the Konsulta Package will not take care of all the healthcare needs of a patient since it is a primary health package, it does provide a very good starting point,” explains Mary Ann C. Pia RN, EcoMed’s vice president for Operations.
For the kitchen, she wanted it sleek, specifying the need for maximum storage space and wide counter area. For this to be executed, all appliances and kitchen essentials will be builtin and customized - the microwave oven, refrigerator, oven, cooktop, trash bin, a special sink and a wine chiller, condiments cabinet and a pantry. Top cabinets will extend to the ceiling.

While fine-tuning the measure in the plenary on Monday, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III suggested removing spoofing, saying it is already a crime under other existing laws.

Like in the business sector, it is this one aside of the police service that perhaps has been negated because the police is more focused on its peace and order mandate as well as protection of the community from criminal ele ments. It is on this aspect that our law enforcers had ne glected to the point that at certain times in the performance of their duties they unintentionally earned the distrust of the people in the community.

We got this Japan-like situation from the Philippine Statics Authority (PSA), that government agency that is consolidating and maintaining records of the country’s population and its demographics. The same disclosure was also confirmed by no less than the Commission on Population, the agency tasked to provide government advice on programs intended to harmonize the devel opment endeavors vis-à-vis the population situation of the country.PopCom, as the agency is more popularly known, also disclosed that the life expectancy of the people is now on the average of 79 years old.

A COOL and still-empty dining area of a restaurant provides one with the perfect perch for observing the quiet city streets outside. As patrons slowly trickle in a few at a time to line up and order their startup ritual for the day, the LED screens near the counter scroll down their recommended breakfast fare aside from displaying a short list of additional specials. A sober mix of already-seated bank tellers, joggers and some uni students early for their morning classes, having gone ahead of the short queue, quietly partake of their brekkie, while the aroma of brewed coffee begins to waft like incense in the air.
When this happens the people see in their policemen not as protectors but the villain themselves. Naturally, the people in the community become hesitant in giving their all-out cooperation to the lawmen in ferreting out criminals lurking in the community. And the people can not be blamed if they harbor such distrust considering that in recent years until now there are a number of criminal activities with some policemen as directly committing the crime or behind the criminals’ back.

As my fam and I prepare to leave, the street outside is now awake. The ear ly street cleaners and Pandesal-selling bicycles have given way to the zooming messengers in motorcycles while these pretenders in turn, navigate against the jeepneys and cars intent on their way to clogging the main streets.
It is true of course that the erring law enforcers are a minuscule compared to the overall number of the police force. But it is common knowledge that any infraction against a citizen committed by those who are the most unlikely perpetrators – the policemen – are magnified many times over when it reaches the public conscious ness. That is why we have this often-stated dictum that “a single rotten tomato in a basketful of such product leaves everything in the basket suspect as to its quality.”
A quick trip to a nearby bank’s ATM opens up the senses to the freshly-swept pavement outside that has now been cleaned and freed of garbage from the night before.

DAVAO CITY (MindaNews) – On a clear day after a river of clouds flows across Mt Apo’s rugged terrain and disappears into the horizon, leaving a majestic sight of Mindanao’s most revered volcano with the highest peak, one can be teary-eyed gazing at this beautiful and precious gift of Mother nature to those of us living in its shadows.Thedrive along the highway from Toril to Sta.

“Nothing is made easy,” Professor Bing said. The Commission is often confronted with formidable states, but she believes that there is no state so formidable that it cannot be penetrated. Professor Bing assured that major milestones are being made slowly but surely, as the ACWC’s consultations go beyond their ranks and reach the tables of state leaders. However, mobilizing masculinist states to strive toward the protection of women, cannot be done by the ACWC alone. All states, however formidable, are sensitive to public opinion. With this knowledge, women’s groups can strengthen their ranks and let their advocacies be heard by their governments.Forone, women and civil society groups have been discussing the draft of ASEAN’s Regional Plan of Action for Women, Peace, and Security. ACW and the ASEAN Committee on Women (ACW) are respon sible for the draft plan, envisioned to be approved at the ASEAN Leaders’ Summit in November. We at the Philippine Center for Islam and Democracy have been working with UN Women-Indonesia to organize consultations that will surface recommendations from civil society organizations (CSOs) in ASEAN member states, particularly women and youth (#WPSASEAN). And CSOs have much to say indeed.
This way the government will have good basis in implementing programs and projects that may be neces sary to deal with the problems that may later emanate from the swelling number of elderlies in this part of the country or elsewhere.

Today there are more than 200 of them scattered across the Mt. Apo area from Sibulan to Salaysay. Even as there is a token allowance provided them, the forest guards need more assistance so IDIS, the PEF and partner CSOs are planning reach out programs to assist them with their livelihood.

financial resources in support of programs and campaigns to systematically put an end to VAWC? The solution is only further complicated by the ASEAN’s reliance on consensus. It’s no wonder that the ASEAN seems to make decisions slowly when the 10 members states have such diverse — and occasionally contradicting —government systems, from a true monarchy to democracies.
And her gracious, generous spirit embodied in a rich biodiversity has been a blessing for all creatures lucky enough to find their abode around Mt. Apo including the pride of southern Mindanao (the Philippine Eagle), other bird species like the hornbills, various animals from wild boars to deer, insects and flora and fauna. There are species in this locality that are only found in this place, making their conservation a most important agenda.
Fortunately, there are 28 Lumad forest guards –known as Bantay Bukid - watching over the area of Salaysay led by their chieftain Pastor Julito Ajao. In the beginning it was just Pastor Ajao who was very concerned about logging in this area, convinced that trees had to be protected if only to provide the Philippine Eagle its needed habitat. In fact, he has been able to make sure that eagles sighted in this part of Mt. Apo are well protected. As soon as a recent move of one landowner to start cutting trees took place, Pastor Ajao informed civil society organiza tions (CSOs) in the city. Immediately, the DENR was approached which then eventually cancelled the permit to cutTheirtrees.numbers expanded around 2016 as CSOs, mainly the Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability (IDIS) and the Philippine Eagle Founda tion (PEF) made sure to recruit, train and support them. Through lobbying, the CSOs were able to convince Davao City’s local government unit to provide the forest guards with an allowance in exchange for seven to 10 days per month that they move across the area to make sure no cutting of trees takes place.

“The ACWC is a human rights body of the ASEAN,” Professor Bing explained. “As such, it is dedicated to studying the particular situation of women and children in the region.” Each ASEAN member state has two representatives in the Commission—one for women’s rights, and the other for children’s rights. Together, the representatives work to end violence against women and children (VAWC) in the region through such instruments as joint statements, declarations, and similar documents.
But peoples have also benefited from the bounty of Mt. Apo’s resources, especially the Lumad communities who reside in these parts of the mountain range. But alas, there have been private non-Lumad Davao City residents who have found a way to own pieces of land in this part of Mt. Apo, specifically in Barangay Salaysay in the Marilog District of Davao City. At risk in such a mad rush to accumulate wealth through extracting from nature’s resource is the Mt. Macabol-Alikoson Conservation Areas (MMACA).Unfortunately, the Ovu-Manuvu Lumad residents of Salaysay have not been able to find ways to secure a Certificate for Ancestral Domain (CADT) and despite being in a watershed protected area, the government has
