Only in the Philippines, Senator acting as regional trial Court tapos under graduate pa!

[@user-bn7ud5wp2t]

Ang galing ni Sen Estrada magtanong, prang walang naging kasong graft and corruption...

[@jessereycruel7637]

What is the purpose of the probe? The Philippine government must come up with standardized salaries for the medical professionals in the country competitive with the international standards. The salary of government doctors in the Philippines are below par compared to other countries. High school graduates are now earning higher than these pathetic physicians.

D na nagsawa sa puro hearing, ala naman nakakasuhan, puro pamamahiya lang. Malayong malayo na ang Senado at Kamara sa ngayon at noon. Pagtuonan sana ang sobrang mahal na bilihin, yun lang at happy na kami.

Si leachun parang napaka santo naman nito,,, so kapag doctor di pede mag negosyo,ako kung may resita naman ng doctor pagdating sa pharmacy di naman yun talaga ang binibili ko tinatanong kung may generic bahh or may ibang brand na mas mura,depende naman yan sa pasyente

[@carloughebrixxbargamento312]

Sana po, MGA DEAR SENATORS, Legislations must be implemented well and reinforced properly. SANA RIN PO, PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH. Hindi papogi lang kasi malapit na ang 2025 Midterm Election.

Hisa hisa lang tanan. Grandstanding mga senador

[@kennedyeswagen7838]

Mga Sir if you will ask for a revocation to all the license of our cardiologist that has involvement to that scheme do you think it will not affect the health system of this country? come to think of it.. pwedi nyu silang e reprimand pero hindi makakatulong ang pag alis ng lisensya ng mga doctor.. ilang taon nilang inaral yan ilang patiente ang tatangalan ninyo ng magagaling na doctor? khit may kasalanan sila hindi MAL practice at negligence ang nagawa nila sa pagiging doctor nila..

[@texwinter7330]

Aggressive ang mga senators sa ganitong kaso pero tiklop sa mga kalokohan ni Quiboloy..😂

[@EspayosBetchay]

if ever po na totoo na may anumalya ang mga doctor.dapat po lahat ng company imbistigahan.hindi po dapat bell-kenz lang.naiinggit lang po iba kc murang mura po at pang masa ang BK.kaya po lahat ng pasyente BK ang binibili.

[@ElizabethSantos-mo4dt]

Sana po mas pagtuunan ng pansin ng senado ang corruption sa lotto,philhealth, dep ed etc.

Sen Go, with our ever gratefull ❤️❤️ we are extremely proud of the Malasakit Center which you Authored... you really have a generous benevolent for the lost the least and the little😇🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽👍👍

[@Universe7687]

So therefore we conclude doctors have no right to have comfotable life,own business ,have a branded car...But the policians are entitled to all the pleasures and richness in thevworld...how Tupperware 😏

[@kennedyeswagen7838]

paubus na nga mga nurses babawasan niyo pa mga doctor... naku naku naku anu ba yan.. bakit hindi yung mga bilihin at kuryente ang ayusin ninyo? kapag bumaba lahat ng yan malaking ginhawa sa mga tao yon.. hindi sila ma stress, depress na nakaka dagdag sa pag kakasakit ng mga tao.. sa taas ng kuryente hindi na nila ma afford bumili ng mga gamot nila kaya lumalala minsan mga sakit nila.. inuuna ang mga pagkaen, kuryente kesa sa sakit nila.. kaya pag punta sa mga doctor medyo grabi na.. ayun kailangan nilang bumili ng maraming gamot..

[@carmelajaniceoledan6808]

Dr. Leachon your honesty is an eye opener of the kind of health system going on in our country.What a misery to every filipino .... senators you are doing your job well.

[@rogelioang363]

Mr Chairman please don't allow one Senator to monopolise the hearing. Grandstanding na naman.. Why due process daw is too long. Gusto kasi cut the process. My God heto na naman tayo. Sabi nya pa singit lng but look what happen tuloy na sya. Buti na lng pinutol na rin ni Sen. Go.

[@sawbones5825]

When non medical people judge medical people why they prescribed medications for 100+ pieces. 😂

[@spectator10]

Sa government hospitals bawal talaga. Pero in private clinics, hindi ito maiiwasan. Lalo na kung iisa lang ang brand ng gamot at subok naman talagang effective ang gamot na ito based sa evidence-based studies. Para sa pasyente din naman ang pineprescribe namin. Hindi naman kami demonyo at makasarili.

[@sunmoon999nikkisun]

real doctors can't do that, it's an act of syndicate which the practice of all good doctors could be in jeopardy, there might be a actor inside the health department.
