Parents, Advise Your Kids To Be Careful Not To Take Medicine Or Eat Feeding Food Without Your Consent

Parents, advise your children to be cautious with what they eat especially outside your own home without your consent. It also applies with the medicines or any pill that someone is asking them to take. They might hurt them or worst, these foods or medicine/pills would put their lives at risk.

Almost two hundred students from Lawigan National High School, Mati City has been rushed to Davao Oriental Provincial Medical Center.
The victims are complaining about dizziness, vomiting and stomach-ache after being given by alleged ferrous sulfate from the Department of Education.
Earlier before taking the said vitamins, the school conducted a feeding program for the students.

Right after the feeding program, all of the students were asked to take "ferrous sulfate". That's where they started feeling ill, complaining about stomach-ache, nausea and vomiting which are common signs of food poisoning. The teachers and parents were alarmed prompting them to rush the students to the hospital for immediate treatment.

However, the doctor who attended the students seem to rule out food poisoning and said that the students might have taken the ferrous sulfate with an empty stomach, which maybe harmless to adults but could be dangerous to adolescents like these students hence the dizziness, vomiting and stomach-ache manifested.

The school administration of Lawigan National High School or the Department of Education (DepEd) are yet to issue any official statement about the incident.

May it be a case of food poisoning or negligence on administering medicine or certain vitamins to the students, the best way is to warn our kids to be cautious of anything they eat. It should be our sole responsibility as parents to warn our children to be extra careful to avoid any harm that might happen to them.

Chinese embassy officials also mentioned that improving ties with the leadership of President Rodrigo Duterte has paved the way for the new policy to materialize. There is presently a strict work visa system for foreign workers who want to enter mainland China. But according Usec. Say, China is serious about the proposal. Philippine Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello said an estimated 200,000 Filipino domestic helpers are presently working illegally in China. With a great demand for skilled domestic workers, Filipino OFWs would have an option to apply using legal processes on their desired higher salary for their sector.

Free Higher Education For All Will Become Law By August 5 or Earlier

Good news for students and parents in the Philippines. Senate Bill No. 1304 or the “Free Higher Education for All Act" has just been approved by the Senate, and was already transmitted to the Office of the President for approval last July 5. Unless President Rodrigo Duterte vetoes or signs it earlier, then the measure would automatically lapse into law after 30 days or on August 5. The law would provide tuition subsidies and financial assistance to students in state universities and colleges (SUCs) and private higher learning and vocational institutions.

“In line with the mandate of our Constitution, the State must uphold the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels,” Senator Bam Aquino said in a speech when he sponsored the bill on the floor as former chair of the Senate committee on education, arts and culture.

So who are to benefit when the bill is signed by the President into law?

Under the bill, all Filipino citizens currently enrolled in State Colleges and Universities and other similar institutions, as well as those who will enroll in the future in courses in pursuance of a bachelor’s degree, certificate degree, or any comparable undergraduate degree in any SUC can qualify for the tuition subsidy “provided that they meet the admission requirements of the SUC.”

Similarly, students in private institutions can also avail of a "subsidized loan" to fund their education. Requirements are set by the bill.

However, people who had attained a prior bachelor’s degree or any equivalent degree, had been discharged from any higher education institution for whatever reason, or those who “failed to complete their degree or program within a year after the prescribed period in their program” would be “ineligible for the proposed tuition subsidies.”

For example, to enjoy the free tuition, a student taking a four-year course must finish it or graduate within five years or lose the benefit. This will dissuade students from shifting courses and motivate them to finish their studies.

According to statistics, there are 645,566 students in the country’s SUCs and it would likely cost the government about P16 billion annually to make tuition fees free across these institutions, noting that the annual weighted average tuition in SUCs is about P10,000 per year.

Just a few months ago, the government announced the allocation of about P8 Billion pesos in budget to fund the free tuition fees of various SCUs in the country for 2017. Sen. Aquino was criticized for falsely claiming credit for the P8 Billion allocation. It was actually Sen. Lacson who discovered the amount as pork barrel of the DPWH. The Senate then moved to realign the money for education.
