The Philippine National Police issued a stern warning on indiscriminate and illegal discharge of firearms by government and civilian gunholders as part of their support to a “gun-free” celebration of Christmas and New Year.
PNP Officer-In-Charge, PDDG Leonardo A. Espina had already issued a Memorandum to all PNP personnel for an intensified campaign against illegal discharge of firearms and indiscriminate firing.
The said campaign includes the simultaneous gun muzzle taping, from the National Headquarters down to Police Regional Offices, Provincial Offices, City and Municipal Police Stations nationwide, which conducted Monday (Dec 22) to assure the public that PNP personnel will not discharge their firearms this yuletide season.
“This traditional gun muzzle is a strong message to all gun owners, especially our policemen and soldiers who are the primary enforcers of the law, to refrain from firing their guns and help prevent casualties and injuries during the revelry of the yuletide,” Espina said.
Furthermore, Espina said that intensified intelligence efforts in coordination with AFP, other law enforcement agencies, and local government units will be conducted to identify probable violators.
Joint PNP and AFP teams will also be organized to conduct preventive patrols to arrest or apprehend uniformed personnel, members of law enforcement agencies and civilians involved in indiscriminate firing. (PNP-PIO)

P-NOY SIGNS LAW FOR AUTOMATIC PHILHEALTH COVERAGE FOR SENIOR CITIZENS
President Benigno Aquino III signed into law a measure granting automatic, lifetime membership of senior citizens to Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth).
In a statement Tuesday, Senator Ralph Recto, principal author of the Senate version of Republic Act (RA 10645), said Aquino signed the measure last week.
Under RA 10645 or "An Act Providing for the Mandatory PhilHealth Coverage for All Senior Citizens,” all citizens who are 60 years old and above will receive the benefits and discounts extended to ordinary PhilHealth members by just presenting a valid ID that proves their real age.
“Magpakita lang sila ng ID bilang patunay na sila'y senior citizen at matatanggap na nila mula sa ospital ang karapatang benepisyong laan sa mga miyembro ng PhilHealth," Recto said.
The RA 10645 amends RA No. 994 or “The Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010”and removes the qualification that a senior citizen has to be an indigent or poor before qualifying for PhilHealth coverage, with premium payments fully subsidized by the national government.
Based on Senate records, there are roughly 6.1 million senior citizens in the Philippines today, of which 3.94 million are covered by PhilHealth either as indigent, sponsored, lifetime member, or dependent.
Recto said the signing of the new law brings the remaining 2.16 million senior under PhilHealth coverage.
“Health insurance can never be called universal if it does not cover all seniors. Enrolling them must be automatic, not optional. The ideal is that the minute they blow out the candles on their 60th birthday cake to the moment they breathe their last – they should be PhilHealth members," Recto said.
'Early Christmas gift'
Senator Teofisto “TG” Guingona III, principal sponsor of RA 10645 and chairman of the Senate committee on health and demography, welcomed the President’s move, saying it can be considered an “early Christmas gift” to the Filipino elders.
“It is high time that we give back to our country's elders. In our culture, the condition and situation of a person in his or her advanced age is the reflection of the character of his or her children. How we take care of our senior citizens is also a mirror of our character as a nation," Guingona said in a separate statement.
“"It is the priority of this administration to give social protection services to all Filipinos. Let us start with our seniors," he added.
As of December 2013, there are a 76.90 million Filipinos covered by PhilHealth – 31.27 million of which are registered members and 45.63 million are dependents.
In 2013, PhilHealth reported P62 billion in premium contributions on top of P12.612 billion worth of subsidies from the national government.
Also last year, PhilHealth shelled out P55.559 billion in benefits payments.
Apart from Recto, the Senate version of RA 10645 was co-authored by Senators Guingona, Bam Aquino, Loren Legarda, Nancy Binay, Cynthia Villar, Sonny Angara, Alan Peter Cayetano, Pia Cayetano, Francis Escudero, JV Ejercito, Vicente Sotto III, Sergio Osmena, Aquilino Pimentel III, Grace Poe, Sonny Trillanes, Gregorio Honasan, Manuel Lapid, Bongbong Marcos and Senate President Franklin Drilon. – # (Adapted News, PHILHEALTH, By ELIZABETH MARCELO, GMA News)

BREASTFEEDING PLUS COMPLEMENTARY FOODS, BEST FOR BABIES AFTER SIX MONTHS
DO you know that breastfeeding is one of the most effective strategies to improve child survival?
In fact, breastmilk is the most complete food for babies in their six months of life. It is likewise nutritionally superior to infant formula, is clean, safe, easily digested and absorbed by the baby.
Breastfeeding, on the other hand, offers many benefits for both mother and baby such as promoting emotional bonding that fosters a close and loving relationship between mother and baby. Studies have likewise shown that breastfeeding lowers the risk of breast cancer in women. When the baby reaches the age of six months, however, breastmilk must be complemented by appropriate foods to meet the baby’s increasing nutritional needs to be healthy.
Though we have gone much headway to progress, the best way to baby’s perfect health still means going back to basics. Breastfeeding plus complementary foods after six months-the old formula adapted by our grandparents even before we were born.# (Adapted, Tawid News Team)
