BFAD needs more
resources
|
|
The melamine-tainted China milk
scare has given us the opportunity to test the efficacy of
government in protecting our citizens from contaminated products
imported from abroad. The result, sad to say, is not encouraging.
Public concern has been rising
over the seeming inability of the Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) to
cope with its task of testing milk and other dairy products from
China to determine whether they contain the industrial chemical
called melamine. A segment of the public is now also beginning to
worry that something is seriously wrong with government’s ability
to monitor imported food, remembering that last year there was also
a food scare concerning China-made food products with formaldehyde
in them.

Paguia, a tireless fighter for truth and justice and as a result has
found himself being suspended from practicing his profession, our
country would probably not be in the dismal state it is in.

Villar should
pursue C-5 funding to stop controversy
|
|
If Senate President Manny Villar is so sure about the
legality, morality and beneficiality of the second P200 million

no time in seeking its immediate release.
