'''Generic medicine use in SoCot urged'''<br>
'''Pangasinan firm helps restore power in ‘Odette’-hit Cebu'''<br>
KORONADAL CITY - A group of pharmacists on Tuesday urged the public not to hesitate to buy generic medicines after their branded counterparts became scarce following the destruction left behind by Typhoon Odette. Speaking on behalf of the South Cotabato Pharmacist Association, its president Minette Serbo lamented how some people refuse to switch medicine brands despite their advice. “For example, there is still enough supply of Nasatera and Nasatapp in the market but most of our customers still prefer Neozep,” Serbo said in an interview on Tuesday. Local pharmacies are out of stock of some brands of medicines like Neozep, Biogesic, Bioflu, Decolgen, Symdex, Tuseran, and Solmux. Most of the medicine brands are manufactured by Unilab Laboratories.
DAGUPAN CITY – The Dagupan Electric Corporation (Decorp) has sent eight of its personnel and some equipment to Liloan town in Cebu to help in the immediate power restoration in the area following the onslaught of Typhoon Odette. In a phone interview on Wednesday, Decorp legal counsel and spokesperson lawyer Randy Castilan said their team has been there since December 23 and is extending its stay due to the demand in the area. “We thought at first they would be staying for a minimum of two weeks but it seems they need to extend due to the extent of the damage to the area,” he said.
