Hi Edward, Here are the most important news that you need to know. The government bought about P550 million worth of expired COVID-19 test kits from Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corp. as part of the trading company’s supply contract with the Procurement Service of the Department of Budget and Management (PS-DBM), a senator said on Tuesday. The global supply of Western vaccines is not enough and even the country’s orders are coming in small quantities, Malacañang said, after Davao City Mayor and presidential daughter Sara Duterte suggested that the government buy more of these instead of Chinese brands—which many in Davao did not like, she said. IN CUSTODY Pharmally director Linconn Ong (fourth from left is escorted inside the Senate building for the resumption of the blue ribbon committee hearing on the firm's deals with the government, where he was later ordered arrested for lying under oath. —SENATE PRIB PHOTO On the 49th year of the declaration of martial law, Vice President Leni Robredo urged Filipinos not to be silent amid attempts to whitewash this episode in the country's history. “Marcos is a dictator, and he has not been held fully accountable for his crimes,” she said. “In fact, his clan continues to benefit from the wealth that they have stolen from the public.” The country’s legal profession was dealt another blow on Sept. 15 when, at around 5 pm, two motorcycle-riding gunmen fatally shot human rights lawyer Juan G. Macababbad in front of his home in Surallah, South Cotabato. The assassination makes him the 65th lawyer to be killed under the Duterte administration. |
