SENATE BACK TO WORK FOR THE FILIPINO PEOPLE

We express our deep appreciation and commend the courageous decision of Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero to take the floor today and confront the issues facing the institution. His action sent a clear message: that his commitment to the country, to the Senate, and to the Constitution would prevail above all else.

His presence enabled the Senate to proceed with the discussion of matters that are too important to be left unresolved and too consequential to be set aside.

On the issue of quorum, this is not an uncharted matter. The Supreme Court, in Avelino v. Cuenco, recognized the principle that a quorum of 12 is determined based on the number of members who are legally able to discharge the functions of the Senate.

There is likewise an institutional precedent. In 2015, the Senate recognized a quorum of 12 senators who were within its jurisdiction. The Senate continued to perform its constitutional duties because the work of government could not be placed on hold.

At a time when the nation faces pressing challenges, the Filipino people expect their Senate to work, deliberate, and fulfill its constitutional mandate. The institution cannot remain stalled by disagreements or uncertainty. Our duty is clear: to legislate, provide oversight, and serve the public interest.

The Filipino people deserve a Senate that shows up, does its job, and places public service above politics.

It is time for the Senate to move forward and get back to work for the Filipino people.

Philippine senate, minsan SitCom, minsan action, minsan heavy drama, minsan praise and worship. They can be everything except being a senate.

Ang audit opinion ay hindi audit rating. Hindi ito scorecard, hindi ito grade, at lalong hindi ito malinis na pamamahala. Ito ang end product ng isang financial audit, isang proseso na tinitingnan lamang kung tama ang pag-record at pag-present ng financial statements batay sa accounting standards.

Ang pangunahing layunin ng financial audit ay bigyan ng assurance ang stakeholders na ang financial information ng isang organisasyon ay reliable at faithful to the records. Ang tanong ng auditor ay: tama ba ang suma ng nireport na nagastos, pag-aari ba talaga ng ahensya ang assets na nasa balance sheet, tama ba ang valuation nito, hindi ba overstated ang receivables, may totoong pinagkakautangan ba, at iba pa. Lahat ng ito ay tungkol sa accuracy of reporting, hindi propriety of spending.

At eto ang pinakamahalaga: ang audit opinion kahit pa unmodified opinion ay hindi nangangahulugan na maayos, wasto, o legal ang paghawak ng pondo. Hindi ito clearance sa corruption. Hindi ito certificate of good governance. Hindi ito stamp ng walang anomalya.

Bakit? Dahil ang financial audit hindi saklaw ang legality, wisdom, efficiency, ethics, o propriety ng paggamit ng budget. Kapag ang isang questionable expense ay properly recorded, puwede pa ring magresulta sa unmodified opinion. Ang trabaho ng auditor ay suriin ang papeles, hindi ang kriminal na motibo.

Uulitin ko ng isang milyon times:
Unmodified opinion does NOT mean clean spending. Hindi ito tungkol sa paggamit ng pondo. Ito ay tungkol lamang sa tamang pagpresenta ng papeles.

In case anybody asks me about this, here are a few things you should consider when seeing tweets like this.

It's there a citation of some peer-reviewed source? In this case, it's a news release, which only tells one side of the story.

How far along is the research?
In this case, the technique is happening in a Petri dish, so it has a long way to go. Next is animal testing, then phase I and II clinical trials. After that, is submitted to the FDA for approval. Each of these for steps can take five years and more than half of in vitro research never becomes an approved treatment.

Who will have access? In the car off sickle cell disease, we have a CRISPR cure. It costs USD three million dollars.

All cure research is good, and God bless millionaires who can afford this HIV cure.

My personal feeling is that other strategies are more exciting because they can be scaled up in middle and low income countries ❤️

CDC to end all monkey research by the end of the year.
Most HIV drugs are the product of CDC primate testing before pharma develops them further

That means current studies will be halted, and funding will be wasted. It's like we're entering a new Dark Ages where scientific progress is replaced by magical thinking.

If you’re on ARVs and also taking multivitamins, don’t take them together. Minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, or zinc in vitamins can block ARV absorption. Take your ARVs first, then wait 2 hours before vitamins, or if you take vitamins first, wait 6 hours before ARVs.
