RA 10863, TRAIN LAW MAAARING BASEHAN PARA MAGING IMPORT TAX-FREE ANG MGA COVI9-19 VACCINE, GAMOT, TESTING KIT

Nakasaad sa Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (RA 10863) sa mismong Section 1609 nito ang mga paaran upang maibaba ang halaga ng buwis sa mga imported COVID-19 vaccines, gamot, at testing kits, ayon kay BHW Party-list Rep. Angelica Natasha Co.

Nasa kamay ng NEDA ang susi upang magamit ang RA 10863 para hindi na kailangang maghintay ng batas mula sa Kongreso, ani Rep. Co, kasapi ng Committee on Economic Affairs sa Kamara.

"Section 1609 gives the Executive Branch, via NEDA, authority to change the import duties or the classification of products through recommendation to the President. The import duties can be suspended and import restrictions can be modified," punto ng kinatawan ng mga barangay health workers sa Kongreso.

Maaari ring gamitin ang TRAIN Law bilang dagdag paraan upang mura ang halaga ng pagbabakuna para sa mga mahihirap dahil mayroong probisyon TRAIN Law para sa anuman social safety net na maisipan ng gobyerno para sa mga, aniya.

Tungkol naman sa iba't ibang fees at procedures sa Bureau of Customs, marami sa mga ito pwedeng isantabi muna ng Department of Finance at BoC dahil nagawa na ito dati tulad noong 2019 noong kinailangang paramihin ang supply ng pagkain sa pag-import upang mapabagal ang inflation, paalala ni Congresswoman Co.

GOVERNMENT PROSECUTORS SHOULD BE READY TO DEMOLISH ANY INSANITY DEFENSE OF DISMISSED POLICE OFFICER NUEZCA

Given the not guilty plea the accused murderer police officer Nuezca has made, we can most probably expect an insanity defense by his legal counsel in the coming weeks.

Nuezca's lawyers will try to put forward the insanity defense. They will try to convince the public that Nuezca "lost his mind", had a "psychotic episode", or "nagdilim ang paningin" moments before he shot in the head and instantly killed Sonya Gregorio and Frank Gregorio.

The viral video of the murder is clear and plain to see. All the necessary elements of the crime of murder are there. In my view Nuezca and his lawyers will fail at their insanity defense.

Being an exception, the insanity defense has the strictest tests and hurdles in our courts. Our court judges are limited by established rules and precedents on the use of the insanity defense.

Nuezca's lawyers could try to use eyewitness testimony and might have some psychologist or psychiatrist or pastor or priest of whatever church to come forward to publicly state a compassionate assessment of Nuezca's mental health. They might even use the "nagdilim ang paningin defense" used in other situations completely different from the Nuezca situation.

Nuezca's lawyer's might point out that the viral video did not show or have a frontal view of the incident because the angle of the video was from the window behind Nuezca. But that defense should not prosper because the video did show the face of Nuezca several times during the video. The video also had audio proving Nuezca was conversing with the people around him who were pleading for mercy for Sonya and Frank Gregorio.

I hope our government prosecutors will be ready to assail and demolish the insanity defense Nuezca's lawyers will mount. (END)

2 Pinoy Cops Face Dismissal

2 POLICE ROOKIES FACE DISMISSAL

PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas has ordered the pre-charge investigation and summary dismissal proceedings against two Police Non-Commissioned Officers who were found positive for drug use.

"If left undetected, these two police rookies will continue with their drug use and perhaps influence others. They will have to go because there is no place for addicts in the PNP,"  the Chief PNP said.

On orders of the Chief PNP,  Patrolman Reyland Lacap Intal of Olongapo City Mobile Force Company and Patrolman Benhur S. Ismael of the 2nd Sulu Provincial Mobile Force Company have been disarmed and placed under restrictive custody by their respective units while investigation is underway.

Intal was confirmed POSITIVE for THC metabolites (Marijuana) during a random drug test conducted by the PNP Crime Laborarory to 397 out of 422 personnel of Olongapo City Police Office (OCPO) on January 15, 2021, immediately following the arrest of 4 other officers from OCPO during a raid conducted by CIDG and PDEA that led to the discovery of a kitchen-type clandestine drug laboratory in Subic.

The remaining 25 more (OCPO) personnel who are either on schooling or on detail will  be subjected to the same test upon their return to unit.

Over in Sulu, a Crime Laboratory Chemistry Report showed Pat Ismael POSITIVE for Methamphetamine after screening and confirmatory tests completed on January 14, 2021.

Both police rookies are now facing administrative cases filed before the regional investigative bodies.

SEAOIL Free Gas Promo 2021

SEAOIL's Lifetime Free Gas Promo, ending on February 8, 2021, has been instrumental in helping Filipinos fast-track their financial recovery from the pandemic.

Ernie Linarez, a Transport Network Vehicle Services (TNVS) driver and LFG 2018 winner, said, "My earnings dwindled when transport network vehicle services stopped operations during the lockdown. Not having to spend much on gas has been very helpful to a TNVS driver like me. I'm able to allocate the savings to my family's needs, especially supporting the online classes of my child."

Ron Ditching, a banker and an LFG 2019 winner mentioned, "We thought we no longer could proceed with our retirement fund when my wife lost her job during the pandemic. We had been allocating a percentage of our salaries to the fund. Luckily, we're still able to provide for the daily needs of our family while saving for the future since we have no fuel expenses."  

Attached is a story about two previous winners who lost income due to last year's lockdowns, but still managed to support their households, as they were able to save on "gas-tos" and reallocate their fuel budget to their family's essentials.

Paggawad ng Philippine FDA ng EUA sa Pfizer vaccine, ikinatuwa sa Kamara

REPUTASYON NG VACCINE DEVELOPERS, IMPORTANTE SA KUMPIYANSA NG PUBLIKO SA VACCINATION PROGRAM

Malaking bagay ang reputasyon ng gumawa ng mga bakuna sa pagtanggap ng publiko sa COVID-19 vaccines, ayon kay House Deputy Speaker Bernadette Herrera-Dy bilang reaksyon sa mga pag-apruba ng Food and Drug Administration sa bakuna ng Pfizer para sa emergency use authorization at sa Phase 3 clinical trials ng bakuna ng Janssen Pharmaceuticals ng Johnson & Johnson.

Nakikita ni Rep. Herrera ng Bagong Henerasyon Party-list ang "solid track record" ng dalawang higanteng kumpanya at makakatulong upang lumakas ang "acceptance of their COVID vaccines."

"Upon the strong foundation of trust, our country now has the means to defeat the coronavirus, especially here in Metro Manila, as well as in a few other urban centers," aniya.

Inaasahan ng congresswoman na unang prayoridad ang health care frontliners at ang mga tao na magbibigay ng bakuna sa mga tao.

"It is now up to the authorities and their partners to make sure the vaccines are given swiftly," aniya.

Tiwala ang deputy speaker na sapat ang mga "cold storage chain" facilities sa Metro Manila at iba pang mauunlad na lungsod sa bansa.
