HEALTH RESEARCH today becomes more important with the country’s commitment to the Millennium Development Goal on improving the health of the people and prevention of diseases.

The Western Visayas Health Research and Development Consortium (WVHRDC) believes that in the event of grave health problems in the country, more health studies are needed to generate relevant data so these problems can be addressed.  The consortium is a structure created by the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).  It aims to link together researchers and institutions to facilitate health research activities attuned to regional health needs.

WVHRDC is calling for health research proposals as there is a need for more people in the medical profession, academe and institutions to come up with health research proposals that can pave the way for development of local technologies and drugs that can address various prevalent illnesses.

In an orientation held June 27 at DOST VI Training Room, some 26 participants comprising of regular staff and faculty members of regional research institutes, medical and paramedical schools, hospitals and other health related agencies.

WVHRDC will entertain research proposals which address the priority health problems – maternal and child health, communicable diseases, non communicable diseases, traditional and alternative medicine, environmental health, special sectors, health service, substance abuse, innovations/new technologies, gender and health.  Each approved proposal will be provided with a budgetary requirement of Php200,000.  Applicants who seek for funding assistance for their health research proposals may call the WVHRDC Secretariat at telephone number 320-0907 for further inquiries.

WVHRDC helps in prioritizing health research proposals which should be relevant and sound and do not violate certain ethical standards for research activities. (DOST VI/MASASalazar)

And the winner is – the politics of the stomach. This is the verdict of the recently concluded national and local elections. Unprecedented vote-buying ruled the day. Vote buying had been around since the time the dictator Ferdinand Marcos made it a regular fixture in Philippine elections but in the last election it has worsened. Read more...

(FOR A post-election change in pace, we'll skip discussing PCOS machines, losing candidates, to economics this Sunday. It happens to be the end of the Easter season. Therefore, we're sending in a column on Pentecost written by Deacon Greg Kandra. You'll find Kandra's writing snappy and to the point. Enjoy. – JLM)

If you had to name one of the most quoted speeches of the 20th century, one near the top of any list would be the inaugural address of John F. Kennedy in 1961, with his call: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” Read more...

FIRST, LET me reiterate my earlier announcement that I do not have a Facebook account so that whoever is using my name is a fraud. I hope my friends who get into this faked account can tell the owners that they are committing a crime for misrepresentation and misuse of the internet. There is such thing as a cybercrime.
