Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, the City Government has officially announced RIDE Med (Responsive Integrated Delivery of Essential Medicines), a new program focused on delivering for free maintenance medicine to the homes of bedridden senior citizens and the elderly citizens (aged 80 and above).

To view the video of the launch, click here and to learn about the details behind RIDE Med, read the Manila Bulletin news report.

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

The Muntinlupa City government will launch a free delivery service to bring maintenance medicine to the homes of senior citizens.

Mayor Ruffy Biazon said it will be called RIDE Med or Responsive Integrated Delivery of Essential Medicines that is designed to ease the burden of senior citizens and their families, especially those who struggle with mobility. He added that it seeks to eliminate the barriers that prevent many seniors from getting the treatment they need.

The beneficiaries of the program are senior citizens aged 80 and above, and bedridden residents aged 60 and older.

“Hindi natin pwedeng hayaan na ang ating mga lolo at lola, lalo na yung mga hindi na makalakad, ay mapag-iwanan. Serbisyo na ang lalapit sa kanila. Sa RIDE Med, ihahatid na natin ang gamot diretso sa bahay ng senior citizen (We cannot let our grandfathers and grandmothers, especially those who can no longer walk, be left behind. The service will come to them. With RIDE Med, we will deliver medicine directly to the senior citizen’s home),” Biazon said.

Under the program, eligible seniors will receive monthly deliveries of prescribed maintenance medicines, including losartan, amlodipine, metformin, and atorvastatin.

These medicines address common conditions among the elderly such as hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol.

Deliveries will be carried out by assigned RIDE Med riders, accompanied by a barangay health worker to ensure proper coordination and follow-up.

To qualify, a senior citizen must be a resident of Muntinlupa City. Registration can be done by the senior’s caregiver or relative at their respective barangay health center. Home registration is also available by calling the program’s dedicated hotlines.

Mayor Biazon said other senior citizens, even if not bedridden or over 80 years old, may still receive the same free maintenance medicines by registering with the existing “Love ko si Lolo, Love ko si Lola” Program, and claiming their medicines at the local health centers.

The city government said RIDE Med represents a new level of care for senior citizens, providing not just free medicines, but also dignity and peace of mind.

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 welcome the RIDE Med program? Are there lots of senior citizens in your local community who really need the RIDE Med program now? What is your local community’s reaction towards the launch of RIDE Med in the city yesterday?

The Muntinlupa City government warned the public of a rise in animal rabies cases in the city.

“Bilang babala sa mga mamamayan ng Muntinlupa, ipinagbibigay alam na merong naitalang kaso ng Rabies sa hayop sa mga nasabing lugar (As a warning to the citizens of Muntinlupa, we are hereby informed that there have been recorded cases of Rabies in animals in the said areas),” the Office of the City Veterinarian Muntinlupa City posted on Facebook.

It said animal rabies cases were recorded in Purok 2 in Barangay Cupang; Katarungan Village in Barangay Poblacion; Southville 3 housing project, Barangay Poblacion; Lakeview in Barangay Putatan; and Villa Carolina I Subdivision in Barangay Tunasan.

“Bilang pagiingat, siguruhing bakunado ng Anti-Rabies ang inyong mga alagang aso at pusa at huwag hayaang pagala-gala sa kalsada o iba pang pampublikong lugar (As a precaution, make sure your pet dogs and cats are vaccinated against Rabies and do not let them roam the streets or other public areas),” the veterinarian’s office added.

The Department of Health said rabies “is a viral infection that is spread mainly through animal bites. It attacks the nervous system and is almost always fatal; recovery is rare.”

In 2024, 426 rabies cases were recorded in the country and all of them died. It said 45 percent of the cases came from pets.

“It is caused by the rabies virus, which is spread almost always through infected saliva. This occurs most commonly through animal bites, but may also happen through scratches, abrasions and other similar circumstances that involve exposure to infected saliva (e.g. direct contact of eyes and the linings of the mouth and nose to infected saliva),” the DOH added.
