carlocarrasco

Recently in the progressive City of Muntinlupa, a free birth registration program was launched and it is being done to endure that every local child has a legal identity, according to a news report by the Daily Tribune.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Daily Tribune. Some parts in boldface…

The local government of Muntinlupa City has launched a free birth registration program aimed at ensuring every child has a proper legal identity and full access to basic services.

The program offers free late registration of birth certificates for children enrolled in the Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) Program. Parents of ECED students are advised to coordinate with their children’s teachers for details and requirements.

The service is also available to indigent residents aged 0 to 17 who can coordinate directly with the Local Civil Registry Office at the South Park Center.

Muntinlupa City Mayor Ruffy Biazon said the initiative is designed to protect children’s rights by ensuring they are legally recognized by the government.

“If you don’t have a birth certificate, it is as if you don’t exist. That’s the proof that you are here in the world — that you are a Filipino,” Biazon said. “If a child does not have a birth certificate, his future will be put at risk. That’s why we launched this project, to give every child a secure future.”

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, are there lots of children in your local community who lack birth certificates?

Muntinlupa City Government Confirms P8 Million Donation To Cebu

Muntinlupa City Government Confirms P8 Million Donation To Cebu

carlocarrasco

Recently the City Government of Muntinlupa announced that it will be donating P8 million in financial assistant to specific localities in the island province of Cebu which it still struggling to recover from a powerful earthquake, according to a Manila Bulletin news report. Around seventy people in Cebu died as a result of the earthquake.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

The Muntinlupa City government will donate P8 million as financial assistance to Cebu, which was devastated by a 6.9 magnitude earthquake last Sept. 30.

Based on an Oct. 3 report by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), 68 people died and 559 others were injured from the earthquake.

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon earlier endorsed to the City Council a resolution by the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (LDRRMC) requesting for the passage of an ordinance allotting funds as assistance to disaster areas in Cebu.

In an emergency special session on Oct. 3, the City Council increased the financial assistance to Cebu from P7 million to P8 million by adding the town of Tabogon as a recipient.

Majority Floor Leader Raul Corro said the grant of P8 million financial assistance to Cebu will be given to the following local government units: City of Bogo, P2 million; Municipality of Bantayan, P1 million; Municipality of San Remigio, P1 million; Municipality of Daanbantayan, , P1 million; Municipality of Tuburan, P1 million; Municipality of Medellin, P1 million; and Municipality of Tabogon, P1 million. 

The financial assistance will be taken from the 30 percent Quick Response Fund (QRF ) of the Muntinlupa City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (MCDRRMF).

Biazon said “time is of the essence” during calamities, the reason why the LDRRMC immediately passed a resolution to help Cebu.

“Napakalaki ng iniwang damages at casualties ng lindol kaya anumang halagang maibibigay natin ay malaking tulong na talaga sa ating mga kababayan sa Cebu. Patuloy nating ipanalangin ang mabilis na pagbangon ng Cebu (The earthquake left behind huge damages and casualties, so any amount we can give will be a great help to our countrymen in Cebu. Let us continue to pray for the speedy recovery of Cebu),” the mayor added.

In a Facebook post, Corro said, “As time is of the essence, the City Council immediately acted on the letter-request of City Mayor Rozzano Rufino Biazon to pass the said ordinance which was endorsed yesterday. The City Government of Muntinlupa has granted financial assistance to many Local Government Units around the country which were hit by natural disasters.”

In addition, the Muntinlupa City government sent a team to Cebu to help in the search, rescue and retrieval operations.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, do you agree with the City Government’s donation of P8 million to different localities in Cebu that were affected by the earthquake? Do you know anyone in Cebu who were affected by the earthquake?

Recently in the progressive City of Muntinlupa, the most wanted person was apprehended by the local police over charges of qualified rape and lascivious conduct, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

Police arrested a 42-year-old man tagged as Muntinlupa’s No. 1 top most wanted person for qualified rape and lascivious conduct on Friday, Sept. 6.

The suspect, identified as alias “Ranielle,” was nabbed in Barangay Alabang, Muntinlupa by operatives from the Warrant and Subpoena Unit of Muntinlupa police.

He is facing charges of lascivious conduct under Republic Act 7610 (Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act) and qualified rape under Republic Act 11648 (An Act Promoting for Stronger Protection Against Rape and Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, Increasing the Age for Determining the Commission of Statutory Rape).

According to the Supreme Court website, lascivious conduct, based on the implementing rules and regulations of Republic Act, 7610, is “the intentional touching, either directly or through clothing, of the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks, or the introduction of any object into the genitalia, anus or mouth, of any person, whether of the same or opposite sex, with intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, degrade, or arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person, bestiality, masturbation, lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of a person.”

The Supreme Court Office of the Spokesperson stated that “qualified rape, on the other hand, refers to sexual intercourse with a woman against her will, committed under any of the circumstances listed in Article 266-B of the RPC (Revised Penal Code), such as abuse of authority, moral ascendancy, relationship, or the victim’s vulnerability.”

Presiding Judge Phillip Aguinaldo of the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court Branch 207 issued the warrant of arrest. Bail was set at P200,000 for each of four counts of lascivious conduct and no bail for qualified rape.

carlocarrasco

Recently in the progressive City of Muntinlupa, the City Government announced that real property tax amnesty is being offered and the public is encouraged to avail of it, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

The Muntinlupa City government encouraged the public to avail of the real property tax amnesty being offered under Republic Act 12001.

The law, otherwise known as the Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act, approved in June last year, stated that the amnesty will “cover penalties, surcharges, and interests from all unpaid real property taxes, including Special Education Fund, idle land tax, and other special levy taxes, prior to the effectivity of this Act.”

The real property tax amnesty can be availed of within two years after the effectivity of the law or until July 5 next year, the Muntinlupa City government said.

“This relief may be availed by a delinquent property owner with the option of one-time payment or installment payment of the delinquent real property taxes within two (2) years from the effectivity of this Act,” according to the law.

To avail of the amnesty in Muntinlupa, people need to go to the Muntinlupa City Treasurer’s Office to know if they are qualified.

They need to submit an application for amnesty to the Treasurer’s Office and keep one copy. They need to wait for the confirmation of their application. If approved, they will go to the Treasurer’s Office to pay.

CyberKnife Breakthrough in Alabang

CyberKnife Breakthrough in Alabang

carlocarrasco

When you hear the words “cyber knife”, does it sound like something that came out of the realms of science fiction and fantasy? In the real world, a new procedure called CyberKnife made waves in the local news and social media recently as it was introduced by Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Filinvest City, Alabang, Muntinlupa City. More notably, the first-ever CyberKnife treatment took place helping an 8-year-old child with meningioma, according to a news report by the Daily Tribune.

For the newcomers reading this, Asian Hospital and Medical Center (also referred to simply as Asian Hospital) is located in close proximity to Festival Mall and Ospital ng Muntinlupa. For Asian Hospital’s location, click https://maps.app.goo.gl/9k4HbG1Lr8T9jEsw6

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the news report of Daily Tribune. Some parts in boldface…

Asian Hospital has completed the country’s first CyberKnife® procedure, marking a milestone in advanced cancer treatment.

The inaugural patient, an 8-year-old child with meningioma — a tumor that forms in the protective membranes of the brain and spinal cord — successfully underwent treatment at the hospital’s Asian Cancer Institute.

CyberKnife® is the only system of its kind currently available in the Philippines. The technology delivers precise, image-guided radiation therapy in real time, allowing doctors to target tumors accurately while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Unlike traditional methods, the treatment is non-invasive, painless, and efficient.

To understand CyberKnife better, posted below is an excerpt from the official announcement by Asian Hospital. Some parts in boldface…

Asian Hospital and Medical Center proudly brings you the CyberKnife, a groundbreaking radiotherapy machine dedicated to stereotactic radiation treatment. Setting new standards in cancer care, this revolutionary technology marks a significant milestone in the Philippines.

What is CyberKnife? – The CyberKnife is non-invasive treatment designed for both cancerous and non-cancerous tumors, as well as other medical conditions requiring radiation therapy. Unlike conventional radiotherapy systems, CyberKnife delivers precise and accurate treatments, reducing damage to healthy tissues and minimizing side effects.

What Types of Cancer Can CyberKnife Treat? – CyberKnife is highly versatile and effective in targeting a wide range of cancers, including but not limited to:

Brain Lesions: Both malignant and benign, including meningiomas, arteriovenous malformations (AVMS) brain metastasis, spread from other cancers to the brain.

Lung Cancer: Treats early-stage lung cancer and metastatic lesions with exceptional accuracy.

Prostate Cancer: Offers precise treatment while minimizing side effects in 5 sessions.

Liver Cancer: Effective for both primary and metastatic liver tumors.

Pediatric Cancer: high-dose radiation to pediatric tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues, making it effective for brain, spine, and certain soft tissue cancers with fewer side effects.

Spinal Tumors: Non-invasive treatment for tumors in sensitive spinal areas and (bone metastasis) spread from other cancer to the bone

Head and Neck Cancer: Re-irradiation

Pancreatic Cancer: Targets tumors in challenging locations with precision.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think CyberKnife will make a significant impact on treating patients without any damage in the near future? Do you know anyone living with cancer who is aware of CyberKnife at Asian Hospital in Alabang? Do you know how much does the CyberKnife procedure cost?
