@enjoyGLOBE your customer service sucks! I made 4 tickets/requests for no internet connection of our @globe_at more than a week now, but still no technician visit, no call from any agent and problem still persists! #poorservice

[Paula Tanquieng @Pau_Tanquieng]

@enjoyGLOBE it’s been more than a week since I first reported internet problem of our @globe_at and made 4 follow-ups/ticket. Until now, there is still no service and not even an attempt by your so called agent to call us. No technician visit ever as well.#PoorService

The EU and Norway's rhetoric of "open access" to pathogen data masks a system of biopiracy that preys on the Global South's resources. Behind closed doors, intellectual property monopolies are built on shared pathogen resources to generate profits for their Big Pharma.

what a timely message from the Pope. Hear this PH leaders, many of whom act “religious”🙄😵‍💫

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Let us #PrayTogether that the leaders of nations may be free from the temptation to use wealth against humanity, turning it into weapons that destroy peoples and monopolies that demean workers. Whoever serves God becomes free from wealth, but whoever serves wealth remains its slave! Whoever seeks justice transforms wealth into the common good; whoever seeks domination transforms the common good into the prey of their own greed.

💥Landmark judgement from the Delhi High Court paves the way for generic version of Risdiplam, the only available treatment for Spinal Muscular Atrophy in India.

This decision marks a significant precedent in balancing IP with public health concerns.

@patrckacupan Thanks Pat! See you soon!

[Paula Tanquieng @Pau_Tanquieng]

Because when the issue is something real that every Filipino experience (not made up), then it really becomes an election issue.

[APA @patrckacupan]

.@WR_Numero: 4 in 5 Filipino voters (80%) expressed their support for [senatorial] candidates who will push for the restoration of government subsidies for PhilHealth services, with some 7% saying otherwise.

This data is telling us that the PhilHealth issue is an ELECTION issue

[Atty. Sonny Matula @AttyMatula]

Petitioners-in-intervention lawyer and senatorial hopeful Sonny Matula, with a squad of sharp-dressed lawyers, took center stage at the Supreme Court’s oral arguments today.

They tackled the burning question: Was PhilHealth’s ₱89.9 billion fund transfer to the National Treasury contrary to the constitution—or just a really bad magic trick?

#Health: Activists demand for expansion of access to #Lenacapavir. If #Gilead fails to act, the coalition is prepared to escalate its campaign, including potential legal action at the national and international level.

[Sin Tax Coalition @sintaxcoalition]

AJ Montesa calls the Singson-Meehan bill the Sin Tax Sabotage Bill which essentially waters down the annual indexation of tobacco tax. He said it will effectively lower the real tax rates of sin taxes, encouraging cigarette consumption.

[Action for Economic Reforms @aerphilippines]

Pambababoy! Pambabastos!

The zero-budget allocation for PhilHealth in the 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA) is a blatant betrayal of public trust that has damaged universal healthcare. (1/2)

[Bart Guingona @guingonabart]

Mapapa-p*tang*na ka na lang. Die, Filipinos, die; budget isn’t for you https://t.co/z08Y5YjTGH

[Partido Manggagawa (PM) @manggagawa]

Labor groups, health workers and medical advocates march from Morayta to Mendiola to demand the restoration of the Philhealth subsidy in the 2025 national budget
PM also asked for resignation of Philhealth chief Ledesma and DoH Sec Herbosa

[Paula Tanquieng @Pau_Tanquieng]

Buti pa si Sec @sonnyangara pinagtatanggol and DepEd budget… Pero yung DOH, mapapamura ka nalang kasi parang instigator pa of the violation of health laws! ill advised

[Joseph Dimabanwa @dimabanwa]

This bears repeating: by allocating ₱61B to PhilHealth in 2024 and then withdrawing ₱89.9B shortly after, the government essentially took away ₱28.9B of our PhilHealth premiums. THEY EFFECTIVELY STOLE PART OF OUR PAYCHECKS.

[Partido Manggagawa (PM) @manggagawa]

Mula hapon hanggang gabi
Panawagan ng mga manggagawa na ibalik ang Philhealth subsidy
Sama ka ba sa labang ito?
