Pekeng Medical Mission Group, Umiikot sa Marinduque

The Medical Mission Specialist Group prescription

Umiikot ngayon sa Marinduque ang grupo na nagsasagawa ng medical mission subalit ayon sa Facebook post ni Dr. Rey Sore, manggagamot mula sa Gasan, ito ay isang scam lamang. "Please beware of this group going around Marinduque pretending to be doing medical missions. In this case, diagnosis was UTI based on the urine test. However the urine test does not show that it was tested for UTI. Another scam prescribing expensive herbal medicines."

Dagdag pa ni Dr. Sore, "Sa barangay hall pa nga ginagawa nila yan. Pinapayagan ng kapitan ng barangay kasi may porsyento."


Mangyaring paalalahanan ang inyong mga kapamilya na mag-ingat.

An Inspiring Message from Bryll: Cum Laude, Laking Marinduque

Family of Bryll Par

Before I went to college when I was 16 years old, I didn’t know what course and what institution I will pick to be the place that will mold me and will be my home for 5 years. As you may all know, I am not a star student during high school and elementary, I am always an average student contented in what he gets in every grading period. I never expected that destiny will lead me to this institution, to National University-Manila, the place that molded me to become a better person, the place that gave me the courage to dream. My father is an alumnus of this institution and as I can see, he made everyone proud. My father is a quiet yet a man of dignity, he is a great provider and he never fails to show me and my little brother how to respect a woman, a lady and a girl, he is my inspiration through all this success together with my mother who raised us, not in a luxurious way but in a way that we cannot be ignorant in certain important things.

Nagpanic ang ilang pasahero ng M/V Montenegro matapos itong magpaikot-ikot sa karagatan upang sagipin ang ilang mangingisda na nahulog mula sa isang tumaob na bangka.

Umalis ang M/V Montenegro sa pantalan ng Cawit, Boac patungong Talao Talao Port, Lucena mga alas-8 ng gabi kanina subalit wala pang isang oras na paglalakbay ng mapansin ng mga pasahero ang pagbagal ng takbo at pag-ikot ikot nito na tila ba may hinahanap. Ayon sa impormasyon na aming nakalap, nabangga diumano ng nasabing barko ang bangka na sinasakyan ng mga mangingisda.

AJ Madrigal Out To Do Marinduque Proud as Member of Batang Gilas

When Alain “AJ” Madrigal first laced up his sneaks and dribbled a basketball in his home province of Marinduque, playing for flag and country was probably quite far from his mind. Years later, however, on a humid summer Wednesday evening, he’s in the Meralco Gym, training hard and wearing the Batang Gilas colors weeks away from plunging into the 2016 Southeast Asian Basketball Association U18 Championship in Medan, Indonesia.

It has been an interesting story for someone like Madrigal, who has never really hogged the headlines despite being one of the main cogs for the La Salle Green Hills Junior Blazers this past season in the NCAA.

New Quezon Road Eases Traffic Woes, Offers Scenic View

LUCENA CITY—Beset by traffic problems along the Maharlika Highway, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) opened a 24-kilometer road that connects the provinces of Quezon and Batangas while providing motorists a scenic view of the countryside.

Nestor Cleofas, DPWH Quezon second engineering district chief, said the two-lane concrete highway provided a comfortable and leisurely trip to travelers by skipping the town centers of Sariaya in Quezon, the city center of San Pablo and Alaminos town in Laguna province, and Santo Tomas town in Batangas.

LIST: Watchdog Names ‘Political Dynasties’ in Partylist System

Photo by Ryan Leagogo, Inquirer.Net

Poll watchdog Kontradaya on Wednesday released the names of partylist groups linked to political dynasties, claiming that the system is “no longer for the marginalized and underrepresented.”

“With a recent Supreme Court ruling allowing nominees to run even if they do not belong to the marginalized and underrepresented sector that they claim to represent, it was only a matter of time for the partylist system to be overrun by the same political dynasties common in local politics,” the group said in a statement.
