Porac Vice Mayor Dexter David allegedly threatened journalists who wrote stories adversarial to him especially on the issue of the 20-year air pollution problem in his town. He was even quoted as saying: “Sabihin mo sa reporter mo, huwag na huwag siyang pupunta ng Porac, delikado siya.” Other reports say he also reportedly threatened a radio broadcaster of GV 99.1 saying: “Pamarilan daka pag tinira muku ulit.”
These reports should be forwarded to the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR), National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP), National Press Club, Freedom Fund for Filipino Journalists, International Federation of Journalists, Pampanga Press Club and other local and national media groups and organizations in the Philippines.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) should also be informed of these threats by David.
The NUJP-Pampanga Chapter recently condemned the action of Porac officials led by David “where mediamen were prevented from covering a public hearing on a pestering public issue in a public place which constitute a suppression of the enshrined freedom of the press and the right of the people to information.”
This only shows that we are truly living in a very dangerous world nowadays as the bible tells us.
Aside from killing their constituents “softly” by stench emanating from different poultries and piggeries in Porac and Angeles City, they now have the nerve to shoot and kill fellow humans for the love of pigs and chickens.
Well three years is too short and residents could always replace erring local officials during elections.
There is an apparent reason for local government units to prioritize and spend more on health programs these days.
Sending sick persons to hospitals for treatment needs huge amount of money since the cost of hospitalization and medicines is really expensive.
In fact, a person who undergoes dialysis spends thousands of pesos every week.
However, local officials should consider investing on research and massive information dissemination. Educating the public about disease prevention and how to live a healthy lifestyle could significantly lessen the risk of acquiring illnesses. Water therapy for example, like drinking three to six glasses of water (normal temperature) every morning, improves our digestion, promotes better eyesight and strengthens our body against stress and other deadly diseases like cancer.
If people are well informed and urged to practice healthy lifestyles, the local and national government could save a lot of money.
Before she took her oath of office last July, I remember Gov. Lilia “Baby” Pineda saying that aside from health programs, she will also prioritize education. “Kung madaming mga tao ay nakatapos ng pag-aaral, naniniwala ako na mababawasan ang mga taong may sakit dahil alam nila kung papaano aalagaan ang kanilang sarili,” she said.
