A few days before Congress goes on break, the Senate approved on third and final reading 17 proposed measures, including bills that would establish colleges of medicine for the implementation of the Doctor Para sa Bayan Act, which seeks to provide scholarships for individuals who want to study medicine and address the issue on inadequacy in the number of doctors in the country.
Senators unanimously approved the establishment of the Colleges of Medicine in Benguet State University; Southern Luzon State University at its main campus in Lucban, Quezon; University of Eastern Philippines in Catarman, Northern Samar; Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University-South La Union campus in Agoo and Visayas State University in Baybay, Leyte.
The Senate also approved on third and final reading several local bills that seek the conversion and establishment of schools across the country as it recognized the importance of education in developing life skills. “The conversion and establishment of these campuses are driven not only by egalitarian motives of democratizing access to its portals but in making sure that it is attended with excellence,” he explained.
Currently, only those who reach 100 years are given a cash gift of P100,000 by the government. However, the life expectancy among Filipinos is pegged only at 79 years for men and 83 years for women.
