PNHRS OPENS WITH CALL FOR COMMUNITY-DRIVEN HEALTHCARE

SOUTH COTABATO, PHILIPPINES — “Data alone is not enough. It must lead to decisions, policies, and action.”

‎‎This message marked the start of Day 1 of Philippine National Health Research System (PNHRS) Week. The event was organized by HRDC XII, DOST XII, and DOST-PCHRD.

‎‎Under the theme “Health Converge: Transforming Health Research, Connecting Cultures,” local leaders, doctors, and scientists gathered to answer one big question: How can scientific research directly help families and local communities?

‎‎DOST XII Director Sammy P. Malawan opened the program by showing key health numbers. He reminded everyone that research should not just stay on paper—it must solve real problems and lead to bold actions that protect people’s health.

‎‎South Cotabato Governor Reynaldo S. Tamayo shared how the province became a leader in good healthcare. He challenged other leaders across the country, saying that if South Cotabato can build a successful healthcare system, other regions can do it too.

‎‎DOST Undersecretary Leah J. Buendia also shared the country’s recent achievements in health research. She showed how scientists working together are helping local clinics give better care and helping government leaders make smarter health laws.

‎‎The main takeaway from Day 1 was simple, health research should not be kept in books or laboratories. It must be used to protect, help, and improve everyday lives.

To ensure transparency and maximize government assistance, the Department of Science and Technology, Provincial Science and Technology Office (DOST PSTO) Cavite, in partnership with the DOST CALABARZON SETUP Regional Project Monitoring Office (RPMO), led an equipment tagging and inventory drive on August 19, 2026.

The joint monitoring team, led by PSTO Cavite Provincial Director Gilda S. De Jesus, alongside DOST CALABARZON SETUP RPMO representatives Alaiza Marie D. Loretizo, Science Research Specialist I, and Michelle R. Orbeta, Administrative Aide IV, inspected project equipment across six local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to verify machinery condition, update documentation, and enforce strict asset accountability.

During the activity, the team visited Amicitia Technologies Corp., Yubhel General Fabrication and Engineering Services, Uniform Kingdom Tailoring Services, Fine Mechanics Trading and Engineering Services, MR Hacks Creatives Co., and VA Ernis Outdoor Advertising. The representatives conducted physical inspections, applied official equipment tags, and reviewed project compliance records directly with enterprise owners and managers.

This initiative underscores DOST’s commitment to rigorous project monitoring and the effective use of public funds. Through sustained collaboration between DOST PSTO Cavite and DOST CALABARZON SETUP RPMO, the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) continues to empower Cavite MSMEs by enhancing their technical capabilities, operational efficiency, and overall productivity.

PSA at TESDA Batangas, Nagkaisa sa Mobile Acceptance ng Civil Registry Documents sa 2026 World Café of Opportunities

Pinagtibay ng Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) RSSO IV-A at Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Batangas Provincial Office ang kanilang pagtutulungan sa pamamagitan ng pagsasagawa ng Mobile Acceptance of Civil Registry Documents bilang bahagi ng 2026 World Café of Opportunities na ginanap noong Agosto 25, 2026 sa Regional Training Center CALABARZON Multipurpose Covered Court, TESDA Compound, P. Herrera Street, Batangas City.

Layunin ng mobile acceptance na mailapit ang mga serbisyo ng PSA sa mga kalahok at jobseeker na dumalo sa nasabing aktibidad, at mabigyan sila ng mas maginhawang paraan upang makapag-request at makapagproseso ng mahahalagang dokumentong sibil.

Sa pamamagitan ng mobile acceptance, natulungan ang mga kliyente sa pagproseso ng kanilang mga kahilingan para sa mga dokumentong sibil gaya ng Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Death Certificate, at Certificate of No Marriage Record (CENOMAR).

Dahil dito, nabawasan ang pangangailangan ng mga kalahok na magtungo pa sa tanggapan ng PSA upang makapag-request ng kanilang mga dokumento, habang nakikilahok sa 2026 World Café of Opportunities. Ipinapakita ng pakikipagtulungan ng PSA at TESDA Batangas Provincial Office ang kahalagahan ng inter-agency collaboration sa paglalapit ng mga serbisyo ng pamahalaan sa publiko.

Sa pamamagitan ng mga inisyatibong tulad ng Mobile Acceptance of Civil Registry Documents, patuloy na itinataguyod ng PSA at mga katuwang nitong ahensya ang episyente, abot-kamay, at responsableng serbisyo publiko para sa bawat Pilipino.

 

 

 

4 ‘budul-budol’ nasukol; alahas ng biktima, narekober

APAT na suspek na umano’y sangkot sa insidente ng swindling o budul-budol ang naaresto na nagresulta pa sa pagkakabawi sa alahas ng biktima matapos ang matagumpay na operasyon ng pulisya kamakailan sa Imus City, Cavite.

Kinilala sa mga alyas Benjie, Peter, Jayvee at Rizaldy ang apat na suspek na naaresto sa matagumpay na operasyon ng mga tauhan ng General Trias Component City Police Station na ikinasa sa Imus City dakong alas-10:00 ng umaga nitong Agosto 24.

Sa inisyal na imbestigasyon, dakong alas-7:30 ng umaga nitong Agosto 23 ay pauwi ang biktima matapos dumalo sa misa sa San Gabriel Parish Church.

Nilapitan ang biktima ng isa sa mga suspek at tumawag o nagsalita na “Tita.”

Matapos ang maikling pag-uusap ay nahikayat umano ang biktima na sumakay sa sasakyan ng mga suspek.

Habang nasa loob ng sasakyan, sa pamamagitan umano ng panlilinlang at maling pagpapakilala ay napaniwala ang biktima na ibigay ang kanyang mga personal na gamit, kabilang ang ilang alahas at ₱4,000 cash.

Pagkatapos nito ay ibinaba umano ang biktima sa paligid ng Petron Gasoline Station sa Barangay San Francisco, General Trias City, na hindi namamalayan na siya ay nalinlang at nawalan ng mga mahahalagang gamit.

Agad na nagsagawa ng follow-up investigation ang mga tauhan ng Sector 5 at sinuri ang mga available na CCTV footage sa lugar.

Natukoy mula sa CCTV ang getaway vehicle na isang itim na sasakyan.

Sa tulong ng CCTV monitoring team ng mga barangay sa Imus City at mga tauhan ng Imus Component City Police Station ay natunton ang nasabing sasakyan sa Barangay Buhay na Tubig, Imus City.

Patuloy itong minonitor ng mga operatiba hanggang sa makitang sumakay dito ang apat na lalaki na positibong kinilala ng biktima bilang mga suspek.

Sinundan ang sasakyan hanggang sa Imus Public Market at matagumpay na naaresto ang mga suspek.

Sa isinagawang valid search sa sasakyan ay nakarekober ang mga operatiba ng isang pares ng hikaw at isang singsing, na positibong kinilala ng biktima bilang bahagi ng kanyang mga nawawalang alahas. Nakumpiska rin ang ilang bagay na pinaniniwalaang maaaring ginamit sa modus operandi, kabilang ang dalawang set ng papel na ginupit at hinubog na parang mga perang papel, gayundin ang ilang piraso ng alahas.

Warrant, inihain sa wanted sa Cavite

MATAGUMPAY na naihain ang warrant of arrest laban sa Provincial Level Most Wanted Person kamakailan sa Cavite City, Cavite.

Ang akusadong si alyas Egay, residente ng Noveleta, ay naaresto sa Barangay 57 ng nasabing lungsod dakong alas- 10:00 ng umaga nitong Agosto 25.

Isinagawa ng warrant personnel ng Cavite Component City Police Station ang pagsisilbi ng warrant laban sa akusado.

Ang akusado ay pinaghahanap dahil sa kasong Rape by Sexual Assault sa ilalim ng Artikulo 266-A ng Revised Penal Code at Statutory Acts of Lasciviousness sa ilalim ng Artikulo 336 ng Revised Penal Code, kaugnay ng Seksyon 5(B) ng Republic Act No. 7610, na sinusugan ng Republic Act No. 11648.

Ang warrant of arrest ay inilabas at nilagdaan ng Presiding Judge ng Family Court, Fourth Judicial Region, Branch 5, Trece Martires City, Cavite, na may petsang Hulyo 27, 2026, at may inirerekomendang piyansa na ₱200,000.00 para sa bawat kaso.

 

PSA RSSO IV-A, Nakikiisa sa Paggunita ng Ika-86 na Anibersaryo ng Commonwealth Act No. 591

Hindi lamang mga numero, kundi mga kuwentong nagsisilbing batayan sa pagpapasya at pag-unlad ng bansa. Sa ganitong diwa, nakikiisa ang Philippine Statistics Authority Regional Statistical Services Office IV-A (PSA RSSO IV-A) sa paggunita ng ika-86 na anibersaryo ng Commonwealth Act No. 591 sa pamamagitan ng serye ng mga aktibidad na isinagawa noong 17–20 Agosto 2026.

Ang Commonwealth Act No. 591, na pinagtibay noong 1940, ay naglatag ng mahalagang pundasyon para sa sistemang estadistikal ng bansa. Sa paglipas ng mga taon, naging mahalagang kasangkapan ang estadistika sa matalinong pagpapasya, mahusay na pagpaplano, at pagbuo ng mga programang tumutugon sa pangangailangan ng mamamayan.

Bilang bahagi ng selebrasyon, isinagawa sa PSA RSSO IV-A ang iba’t ibang gawain na nagbigay-diin sa kasaysayan at halaga ng estadistika, kabilang ang Tanghalan ng Datos, talakayan hinggil sa kasaysayan ng estadistika, pagbabahagi ng karanasan ng mga beteranong kawani, Paligsahan sa Kaalaman, at Salin-Sagot, na bahagi rin ng pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika.

Sa pamamagitan ng mga gawaing ito, nagkaroon ng pagkakataon ang mga kawani na balikan ang mahahalagang yugto sa kasaysayan ng estadistika, kilalanin ang ambag ng mga naunang henerasyon, at higit na pahalagahan ang papel ng datos sa paglilingkod sa sambayanan.

Mula sa datos tungo sa desisyon at pag-unlad, isinusulong ng PSA RSSO IV-A ang kamalayang estadistikal at pagpapahalaga sa maaasahang datos bilang pundasyon ng mahusay na serbisyo publiko.
