Loren Legarda today called on the government to protect public and private hospitals against earthquakes in the aftermath of the strong temblor that rocked Haiti and caused widespread devastation and loss of lives in the Central America nation. “ Hospitals and other health facilities are critical public infrastructures especially when disaster strikes and victims need emergency services and medical care.  Therefore, they should be disaster-proof and disaster-resilient,” said Loren, the chairperson of the Senate committee on demography and health. “The country should have learned lessons from the 1990 Luzon earthquake.  We saw how the earthquake ruined the City of Baguio.  We saw how Baguio General Hospital, along with other hospitals in nearby provinces, crumbled from its impact and failed to perform its role as a refuge and haven for the injured victims,” Loren said. “Hospitals should not only be structurally sound but also...

Danta noong Nobyembre 2008 para ipanghakot ng basura, na sa kabila ng ito ay mahigit na sa isang taong ginagamit, ay wala pa itong nakikitang kasiraan, na nagpapatunay na maayos na ito ay napangangalagaan. Ang Barangay San Agustin ay pangalawang pinakamalaking barangay sa 15 barangay sa Alaminos  na nasa kahabaan ng Maharlika Highway ( Ruben E. Taningco )
