SORSOGON CITY, Sept. 14 (PNA) -- Most of the hospitals operating in the province do not have waste water discharge permits and solid waste management system in violation of Republic Act 6969, known as "The Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act of 1990,” the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Environment Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) said.


EMB specialist Engr. Leonisa Madeloso said most of the 8 hospitals in the province are without waste water discharge permits, some are without solid waste management reports and most of the mercurial wastes from busted florescent lamps are not safely disposed together with other hospital wastes.
SORSOGON City – A former mayor of Matnog, Sorsogon convicted by the Sandiganbayan of graft charges is set to be transferred from the local Bureau of Jail Management and Penology district jail to the National Bilibid Prison, in Muntinlupa City, Metro Manila this month.


She said the EMB has already issued notice of violations and have conducted dialogues with the hospital personnel on how these wastes should be managed so as not to affect the environment and create public health problems.
A local news group in Sorsogon, “the Media Solutions,” reported, that former Matnog Mayor Guillermo “Guaming” Gacis So, 67, is detained in a separate cell away from the hardened criminals.


Madeloso said that based on their monitoring, evaluation and assessment, eight hospitals in the province are not complying with the guidelines provided in RA 6969 in the proper disposal of hospital and hazardous wastes.
His family visits him regularly since his detention  on Oct. 21.


According to Madeloso, they have checked and evaluated one public and one private tertiary hospital; four secondary private and two secondary public hospitals and how these hospitals managed their wastes.
So was convicted for ordering the suspension of Barangay Laboy chairman Ernesto Gile based on a spurious Sangguniang Bayan resolution.


In their findings, Madeloso said all these hospitals lack the proper procedure in disposing their hospital waste while they only use chlorine and lysol as the standard chemicals for disinfecting hospital wastes.
Resolution 31–03, series of 2002 was spuriously made to show it was approved by the Sangguniang Bayan recommending the suspension of Gile who was accused of abuse of authority and malversation of public funds.


The findings also indicate that no waste disposal signages are conspicuously placed inside the hospitals.
Based on the Anti–Graft court resolution promulgated Aug. 24 and penned by Associate Justice Roland Jurado, So was sentenced to eight years imprisonment and fined    P5,000.
 
"Sharps and syringes used should always be properly managed and placed in plastic containers and these containers should again be placed in cans and with proper signage and should never be disposed together with other hospital wastes," Madeloso said.
 
She also reported that some hospitals do not have Pollution Control Officers (PCOs) or if there is one, most are not properly trained.
 
She urged local chief executives and members of the Sorsogon Provincial Solid Waste Management Board (PSWMB) to inform the provincial government to take action on the EMB findings and work out ways to address this environmental concerns.
 
"Proper report on what wastes are generated, volume and how these are treated, and disposed should also be made to keep track of the implementation of RA 6969 which hospitals are required to do," Madeloso explained
 
The PSWMB agreed to address these issues in the province by organizing a Provincial Monitoring Team to monitor and evaluate the implementation of RA 6969 and coordinate with the hospitals to reiterate their strict compliance on the provisions of the law.

Dietary supplement is a product that contains vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, enzymes, and/or other ingredients intended to supplement the diet.

That means that these firms are responsible for evaluating the safety and labeling of their products before marketing to ensure that they meet all the requirements of DSHEA and FDA regulations.

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

  • Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
  • Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:
  1. The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
  2. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.
