Quote of the day

"We don’t want to be a critic of the Botica ng Bayan program but there are some unanswered questions about it. Firstly, why does the Philippine International Trading Corp. import generic medicines from India when we have a pharmaceutical industry which also manufactures generic drugs? Secondly, how come the drugstores of the Botica ng Bayan are not run by professional pharmacists? From a write-up on the Botica ng Bayan, it appears that even buy-and-sell entrepreneurs can get Botica franchises and sell medicine. Selling medicine like selling goods in a sari-sari store could be dangerous to the health of our medicine consumers."
