PINOYSPY NEWS SERVICE (PNS) – One of the more important highlights in President Macapagal Arroyo’s State of the Nation Address was that she reiterated that Paracetamol only costs P1 (one peso) in the Botika ng Bayan.
Sadly, this fact was not even given importance by mass media, when this is a very important piece of information for poor people because the poorest among Filipinos use Paracetamol to treat any kind of disease believing in the saying, “Lagnat lang yan.”
To quote the President’s SONA:
Ang paracetamol na tatlong piso sa labas ay piso lamang sa Botika ng Barangay.
In this statement, President Macapagal Arroyo stressed the fact that for only P1 (one peso), you could buy Paracetamol in the Botika ng Barangay, instead of paying three times that price in drug stores.
How many Botika ng Barangay are there?
GMA: … sampung libong Botika ng Barangay ang nagtitinda ng murang gamot.
How about antibiotics?
GMA: Ang antibiotic na binibenta ng mga pangunahing parmasya sa P20 ay P2 lamang.
President Arroyo said based on surveys…
Halos kalahati ang nagsabing abot-kaya ang gamot, kumpara sa 11% noong 1999.
President Arroyo, however, was silent on the price of loperamide (generic name for brands such as Immodium), which is used for relief of diarrhea or LBM (loose bowel movement or ‘pagtatae’).
Loperamide is important because most Filipinos get LBM after eating street foods. President Arroyo herself was struck by diarrhea earlier this year.
bka nakalimutan nya na ice water pala ung dapat na itinutukoy nya.
hehe!
ang dapat nyang pagtuunan ay ang pagtaas ng presyo ng shabu!!!
Why do you make dumb comments like that? Is that the best you can think of? Why not use 1 peso and text yourself, clown boy.
hoy gising! dapat pagtuunan nya ng pansin eh ung pagbaba ng presyo ng gin, sigarilyo, beer, shabu para sa mga kanto boys specially sa tondo boys! eh aanuhin mo nam ung paracetamol kung d ka namn sakitin., dapat i-focus nya ung mga project nya sa mga ikaliligaya ng mga mamamayan! mabuhay!
Bakit may maitutulong ba sa bayan ang mga pinagsasabi nio? Ang dapat niang pagtuunan ng pansin ay kung paano niya masusugpo ang lumalalang kriminalidad sa bansa at kung paano sugpuin ang mga nagnanakaw sa gobyerno…ng sa gayon ay hindi maging pangit ang tingin sa atin ng ibang bansa…
dude, kelangan mong uminom ng Paracematol, para sa init ng ulo… hhehe peace men
Erap did just that. Wherever Jinggoy go, it’s like free beer to everyone. Then our economy when down, SSS and GSIS went bankrupt, and the peso went up to 55/$. Those who retired those years during erap time had to wait 8 months to get their retirement benefits. Ouch, wake dude, you can’t run a country sleeping.
hoy,nagfe-feeling patriotic ka dyan eh ingles nman pinagsasalita mo..ipokritong ulol!!! wahahaha
I’m Bisaya, dude, we don’t speak tagalog here. So hate me.
dapat lang ibaba ang presyo ng paracetamol, dahil lahat ng taong bayan ay SUMASAKIT NA ANG ULO DAHIL SA PAGBABA NG EKONOMIYA AT MORALIDAD NG BANSA!
kahit piso na lang yan eh walang ngang perang pambili si juan dela cruz.
hay naku mga pilipino talaga., wala ng magbabago sa bansa natin., u wanna know why? kahit magbaba pa ng .50 cents ung paracetamol wala pa ring mangyayari! isa pa’ tama si Santong Kabayo’ walang pera si juan dela cruz… halos bilang mo ang mga may kaya’ tapos ang mga leader pa natin ang mga nakikinabang na dapat satin mapu2nta ung kaban ng bayan…back to panahon ni marcos, hindi bat’ ang japan, chinese, vietnamese, at lahat ng mga panese! joke lang.. eh tau lang ang nagturo na magsaka sa mga yan ah… atsaka mas maunlad pa tau sa kanila… eh bat’ ngaun tau pa ang maunlad sa corruption? prostitution? at sa criminalidad… kelangan meron taung maging leader na may kamay na bakal kagaya ni captain hook! lolz! HOY GISING NA! KAILANGAN NA NG PAGBABAGO NG ATING BANDA ESTE BANSA! Peace Mga dUDE!
Magiging piso nga lang talaga yan dahil gawa yan sa placebo (prescription without physical effect: something prescribed for a patient that contains no medicine, but is given for the positive psychological effect it may have because the patient believes that he or she is receiving treatment). Tiyak, kinulayang arina lang yan na ginawang tableta.
Puro na lang pang-goodtime ang ginagawa ng mandaraya na iyan!

come on guys the truth is philippines is a rich country.y? we have seminal in my school university of toronto about asian country.and one of our topic is philippines , and we compare malls in the philippines and canada.im shuck about the result in top10 biggest malls in the world , philippines have 3 and canada just 1 , means if you have 3 biggest mall in the philippines
1 thers a customer to buy
2 if ther a customer means you have money to buy[73% will buy and 27% just slucking around
3 if you have tons of malls in the philippines means you have money
the only problem is corruption of your goverment ,law in the philipines and mentality of filipinos
for example let say 1 paracetamol is 2peso pinoy will complain why 2 peso but
if where talking about cigarette,alcohol,drugs worth 20 peso to thousand you don’t have complain
all i can say help each other
remove all corrupt official
be a good citizen to our country
and someday you will realize how good philippine is ^^ peace
mga tsong, kung may 73% ang namimili sa mga malls, 85% dito ang gumagamit ng credit cards(94% dito ang gumagastos ng Php 500 pesos and above). 96.3% naman ng may credit card, sa buong pilipinas, ang may utang(67.5% dito ang delinquente o hindi na nag babayad). sumatutal… mayaman tayo sa utang. masakit pero totoo.
heLLo! bKiT di nLanG gaWin ni GMA na fRee anG mga meDciNes! paRa nMan dUn sa mGa taOng giPit!
