FDA working with BIR to make medicine more affordable for senior citizens

March 18, 2024March 17, 2024carlocarrasco

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) are working together to cut the prices of medicine for senior citizens by means of exemption from the value-added tax (VAT), according to a news article by the Philippine News Agency (PNA). It should be noted that previously President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr., ordered the FDA to implement a 20 percent discount and VAT exemption for senior citizens under RA 9994 or Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010.

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

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is working with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to bring down prices of medicines for senior citizens through exemption from value-added tax (VAT).

FDA Director General Samuel Zacate said the exemption of VAT coverage will be through the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (CREATE) or Republic Act (RA) No. 11534.

“Basically, the exemption for VAT is through a law – iyong (the) CREATE Law. So, those medicines have been declared by the FDA, endorsed to the BIR para matanggal or mawala iyong kanilang (to remove) VAT,” Zacate said in a news forum in Quezon City on Saturday.

RA 11534 provides VAT exemption to certain medicines for hypertension, cancer, mental illnesses, tuberculosis, kidney diseases, diabetes, high cholesterol, as well as Covid-19 drugs and medical devices.

Pursuant to the CREATE law, Zacate said the FDA is directed to identify and transmit the list of approved medicines for VAT exemption to other implementing agencies, such as the BIR.

“Basically…we only endorse it to the BIR kasi kami po iyong nagdi-determine kung ano, para saan talaga iyong gamot. So, FDA ang magsasabi, kung papaano iyong mekanismo, kung paano tatanggalin iyong gamot (because we are the ones who determine what, what your medicine is really for. So, FDA will say, how your mechanism, how to withdraw your drug). So, it’s a joint process po of the FDA and the BIR,” he said.

Muntinlupa LGU declared a drug-free workplace

September 27, 2023September 25, 2023carlocarrasco

Recently in the progressive City of Muntinlupa, the City Government was formally declared a drug-free workplace and a marker was unveiled highlighting it, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

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

The Muntinlupa City government achieved another feat when it was declared a drug-free workplace.

Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) Chairman Catalino Uy and Mayor Ruffy Biazon unveiled the marker for the drug-free workplace during the weekly flag-raising ceremony at the Muntinlupa City hall quadrangle on Monday, Sept. 25.

According to Florecito Ragudo, chief of the Muntinlupa Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Office (DAPCO, the Muntinlupa City government became a drug-free workplace after successfully following the parameters set by the DDB.

He said the drug-free workplace policy was finally initiated under the administration of Biazon after years of deferment due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Overall, what our mayor wanted was that all employees are not using illegal drugs so we can deliver effective services to our citizens,” said Ragudo.

Biazon signed an executive order establishing a workplace anti-drug abuse assessment team to implement the policy.

Under DDB Regulation No. 13 issued in 2018, the drug-free workplace policy covers “all appointive public officers in all offices, including all constitutional bodies, departments, bureaus, and agencies of the national government, government–owned and controlled corporations, state and local universities and colleges, and elective local officials of local government units.”

“Mandatory drug testing shall remain a requirement for initial entry to government service. Any applicant found positive for drug use shall be denied entry to government service,” it added.

Uy congratulated the Muntinlupa City government for achieving the milestone.

“On behalf of the Dangerous Drugs Board, I would like to commend and congratulate [you]. We are with you in the success in having and launching of drug-free workplace policy here in Muntinlupa. Congratulations,” said Uy.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think of the City Government as a shining example of a drug-free workplace?

UN officials arrested by Israeli police for smuggling liquid cocaine!

June 29, 2023June 27, 2023carlocarrasco

I want to emphasize this to all of you reading this – I have no trust in the United Nations (UN) not just because it is a truly corrupted organization but also because it is inherently wicked deep within. The evil of the UN is so deeply rooted, it has formed unions with other evil forces from around the world. You can read more by clicking here.

Very recently, there were three officials of the United Nations who got apprehended by Israeli police when they were caught smuggling liquid cocaine (disguised as perfume kits) into the nation, according to a news report by The Jerusalem Post. This is not just a random search done by the authorities in Israel. It was the result of a high-stakes operation!

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from The Jerusalem Post report. Some parts in boldface…

An attempt to smuggle liquid cocaine disguised as perfume kits was halted on Sunday by Israel Police and Tax Authority inspectors from the Jordan River Customs House and Jordan River Border Crossing.

Three UN employees serving on the Syrian border were apprehended by the Northern District Police’s Yagal Unit on suspicion of involvement in the smuggling operation.

The UN employees arrived at the border crossing between Jordan and Israel during the day. Routine checks by the Tax Authority and Airport Authority personnel at the border crossing raised suspicions regarding the perfume kits brought by the passengers, which included bottles containing liquid.

The kits were subjected to thorough examination, including the use of a sniffer dog. The investigation revealed reasonable suspicion that the substance was liquid cocaine, leading the UN employees to be taken into custody for further questioning by the Northern District Police.

Indeed, the unidentified suspects employed by the UN violated Israel’s rules. One has to wonder why did those United Nations officials attempt to smuggle illegal substances into Israel at all. Could they have been working with some smuggling ring watching from a distance? The unidentified suspects are being questioned as of this writing.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the arrested United Nations officials could have been ordered by a UN superior to smuggle liquid cocaine into Israel? Could the UN itself been conspiring with smugglers, terrorists and criminal organizations?
