Debating the Cheaper Medicines Law

photo archives

Hi everyone,

By now you’ve heard of or have seen the VP debate we had recently. Before anything else, I’d like to thank everyone again for the overwhelming show of support via Twitter, SMS, Facebook, and even ABS-CBN’s very own voting system. Nakakatabang puso. One of the tweets that I was able to read when I got home was something like this: “Mas matindi pa ang #harapan sa laban ni Clottey at Pacquiao.” Hahaha. I’m glad that many of you watched and commented on the issues and the things that matter.

Which brings me to this article. One of the issues raised during our “very heated” debate was the Cheaper Medicines Law – a law which, even Senator Legarda will agree, benefits both the rich and the poor. An example of this is an anti-cholesterol drug called Lipitor which many take 3x a week to keep healthy. The cost of this drug is now down to P50.00 from its previous price of P100. That’s savings of P7,800 a year! Even rich people can appreciate this. But for the poor… it’s an incredible amount of savings equivalent to 17 kilos of rice, or 85 cans of sardines, or 120 packs of noodles!

And that’s just for one drug. In a few days time, the prices of 97 medicines will also be slashed down, with some by as much as 80%. And this is just one part of the Cheaper Medicines Law in action!

It took a very long time for us to get this bill signed into law. But despite the trapos and the big pharmaceuticals (we were even brought to court by drug companies who wanted to maintain their monopoly), I’m very happy that our version of the law is here to stay: a version that establishes clear accountability to the President instead of the vagueness of a board. But we can and should do more. There are other provisions of the law that, when implemented properly, will lead to better quality and more affordable access to medicines for all. You can be certain that with an Aquino presidency, we’ll quickly see even more drugs with lowered prices! For now though, here’s a graphic of how much we can expect the prices of certain types of meds to go down starting at the end of March:

Thank you for reading, thank you for your support.

    Hi, Philippines
    There is now a trend of what is called “Flash Mob”, where through social media such as Twitter, Facebook, My Space, etc. a large gathering of people can be asked to convene on a particular time at a particular place. It can be used for good, like watching the polls, or failure of election.
    It can also be used for evil, like a flash mob breaking down glasswindows, destroying property or harming other people. The police breaks up such gatherings by swooping down in helicopters and surrounding the crowd with mobile patrol and following them, whenever, wherever.
    Perhaps, both the websites of Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas should have their social network knowledgeable and ready for nonviolent civic action or people power.
    Mabuhay Philippines

    Magaling si Senador Mar Roxas, well articulated sa issues laban ki Loren Legarda (hindi naka-takda sa kanya ang maging Vp-Presidente, Baka kasi maging babae na naman, katulad ng nangyari ki GMA, mga hilaw ). Okay-na-okay na si Sina NoyNoy-Roxas, maganda ang teamwork, at may pagalang sa isat-isa. Baka
    dito na umanggat uli ang Bansa , na ibinagsak nang peki na pangulo ( resulta ng mga ” conspiracy”, ng mga elite group ng society ng bansa, at ginamit ang CBCP-through the late Cardinal Sin, at bayarang militar ). Nagkaletsi-letsi tuloy ang pamahalaan..

    Yes, Mr. Roxas i did watch Harapan. As a matter i did twice. The live version which was last March 21 and the replay which was last night. I watched again because i wanted to hear again what Ms. Legarda said about education and the teacher's salaries being increased since you are the chariman of the Education committee? Did i get that right?

    Ms. Legarda commented that the teacher's salaries are to be increased from Salary Grade 10 to a higher salary grade. And Mr. Fernando also said their mission with Mr. Gordon is to make the salaries of teachers at least 40,000.00 a month. That sure sounds very good. But whoever becomes President and Vice President will surely do something about this. And ofcourse so will the Senate President and the Speaker of the House.

    My query about the teacher's salaries is — why is it only the teachers have been given an increase from one Salary Grade to the next higher Grade? What about the non-teaching personnel?

    Mr. Roxas, I am a gov't employee too. And am connected with the Dept of Education. My designation is Sr. Bookkeeper/Administrative Asst. III with a Salary Grade 9. So when the salaries where increased last July 2009 all the non-teaching personnel from SG-9 down to SG-1 received about 9-10% increase only. While all the other non- teaching and teaching personnel increased an SG higher, if not two SGs higher like the Master Teachers and Public Health Nurses. And those who increased by SGs have already higher salaries than those with SG-9 down obiously. Thus it turns out the rich become richer and the poor become poorer.

    It is unfair on our part who are earning SG-9 down. Without SG-1 (Utility Workers), who will clean the surroundings of the schools and offices and comfort rooms? Without SG-2 (Watch man), who will look after the security of the students and pupils of the schools, and the school itself? Without SG-3 to SG-9 (Clerks to Administrative Asst. III), who will process appointments of those hired, process payments of salaries of personnel and take care of the records of all personnel? Where these taken into consideration? Did the Education Committee just think of Education as teachers and pupils and students? We, who are not teachers but work in the office of our respective divisions also are a part of the DepEd family. Our taxes are also withheld, cause we know what is due to our beloved country. Teaching is the noblest profession. There wouldn't be good lawyers, doctors, engineers, nurses (name it) without teachers. But without the support staff (and that's us SG-9 to SG-1) would the teachers be able to receive what is due them? We do the paper work for them. We do see to it that they receive benefits due them. We do the preparing of payrolls for all teachers to be paid on time and for ourselves as well. That is why we are called SUPPORT STAFF.

    With the hard times now, our salaries even no matter how we stretch our budgets are lacking. You are running for VP. And you all Pres and VP candidates tell us you cater especially to those who have less. I know that there are even a lot of unemployed, homeless kababayans. But life is how we make it. If nobody says anything, then nothing will be done. That is why you have your platforms to let us know what your mission and vision is for the people. Not just a part but all.

    If you are unaware of this, I am informing you on behalf of my co-employees not only of the DepEd but for all govt employees under all agencies earning SG-9 down to SG-1. They who complain and air out their grievances so to be heard. Thus this comment (comment pa ba po it?).

    Sure would like to hear from you Mr. Roxas.

    Respectfully,

    Angie
    Dumaguete City

    P.S. you were here but for just a short time and i didn't think you had time for this. Knowing what you go through during campaigning the non-teaching personnel did not disturb your schedule. Through facebook then — i hope ou hear us and understand our plight. Thank you.

    I must add, you were good during the Harapan. You had a very high percentage of people who believed in you. Maayong hapon. Ang oras karon 2:06 P.M.

    you were a real gentleman in handling a blabber who tried to throw anything she could lay her hands on and hurl at you.

    it was a display of sense vs nonsense…that simple…

    congratulations

  • Gennie and Family

    We are fully and strongly supporting you and Noynoy! We are very tired of lies of traditional politicians and corruption in the government. We believe that you and Noynoy will be good leaders and can transform the Philippines into a much better world.

  • Darwin Oriane

    Out family votes are for you and Noynoy, we will help you to make the change. Let's all do the right thing…

    AFTER the Harapan, mas more proud ako to be a Capizeno!It's in the genes Mar, keep up! Sana di na manalo si Jocjoc para tuloy tuloy ang pagiging Capizeno ko.

  • The TRUTH

    As one involved in the business of making cheaper medicines available in the country, It is my view that the cheaper medicinesact has not been good for generic or branded generic companies here in the Philippines. Here's one example, sales of a branded generic co-amoxiclav product (third largest before August 15, 2009) has since performed half as well since Augmentin's price was slashed by 50%. Any thoughts of expanding staff numbers or usual pay rises are now out of the question. Even with 50% price reductions many of those who could not previously afford the medication still can't despite the huge reductions in price. The Cheaper Medicines Act is a cope out by all politicians who have failed in their duty to raise the living standards in the Philippines for most Filipinos; sucessive governments have failed to not only not create enough jobs but create enough or more good paying jobs. Goverrnment should not control prices but instead focus on introducing policy to create more competition which in turn will reduce prices as has been happening over the past 10 years. Everyone keeping carrying on about Lipitor, there were in fact other cheaper just as effective drugs for the same prupose.

  • The TRUTH

    I also understand that doctors employed by government can no longer write the brand name, that they can only write the generic name. Well how STUPID an idea is that?!?! Now here's what's currently happening – a government doctor writes a prescription with the generic name only, the patient goes to the drug store, the drugs store dispenses the original more expensive one (makes more profit on it of course) – patient has no idea. This is classical f*$% up stuff which shows government should not get involved in things it knows nothing about; which is almost everything it seems. The only role government has here is to inform the public that cheaper or alternative less expensive medicines are available. This of course would involve advertising money which the government doesn't want to spend because there would be less money for them to take home themselves.

  • victordupa

    Mar Roxas, are u saying that mayor sonny belmonte of q.c. a sure winner base on surveys. in other words u and noynoy, also a sure winners which is based of what are u saying for. u in a day dreaming, pang nursery lang talaga ang level ng utak mo, u don't have a clear platform of government and lack of political machineries most probably in the grassroots, kaya umaasa nalang kayo sa surveys sanamagans. wala naman kayo ibang ginawa kung di ang manira nang puri sa buhay ng may buhay, bagay sa inyong dalawa dun mag presidente at vise presidente sa mental hospital, karma is come near approaching upon u sa mga pinagagawa nyo sa kapwa.

    @victordupa – God Bless You…

  • victordupa

    For u subsub123,are u saying i am the one has an immatured looking, did we meet  bfore and where,sa pananalita mo pa lang halatang immatured ka eh?
    1.) u mean to say, that only abnoy noynoy and mar pussyfoot has the right to say a slanderous words against those people,and we the other people has no right to hit them back or say any bad words against them,it's unfair?They are not god,as they have said they are in good side against evil, but their actions and characters irrelevanced to their slogan they really don't know the real meaning of good.
    2.) Tinumbasan ko lang ang kababawan ni noynoy at mar,and their cohorts like drilon,honteviros and the hyatt 10, I'm not blind nor deaf and i know how to read news paper.kaya alam ko lahat ng galaw at pinagsasabi this LP people yan ang pinagbasihan ko.
    3.) I'm not saying those people, that noynoy and mar was forcing me to vote in favor of them! and i'm not an ignorant voter to vote this LP people, and u subsub123 have no right for avoiding me, because it is my right to express my opinion being a filipino citizen.so far, u subsub123 I think u are a non-sense talker like kiko pangilinan in the senate, kasi sa username mo palang subsub ka na eh?mahilig ka rin seguro mang 123 sa mga beer houses.
    4.) subsub123 I don't have connections in any political parties, simpling mamayan lang ako my concern here is The country need a president with strong leadership who can uplift the misery of the filipino masses,which is nonoy and mar not deserving to lead they don't care the people's misery, their concern is to protect the interest of their master The Lopezes impires.
    5.) So be it? if those people cast their votes in favor of noynoy and mar good for them, it is their rights! it's better whichfor we all know, let say noynoy and mar garnered 6 millions votes each of them, it means there are 12 millions ignorant voters in our country simple statistics did u get my point subsub123, I'm not a liar kina counter ko lang ang mga pinagsasabi ni abnoy noynoy and mar pussyfoot. The LP people sila ang ubod ng kasinungalingan.

  • Christene Pearl F. Arandia, MD

    I admire your love for our country. You are a shoo-in for the vice-president position. I used to think you were just one of those politicians but after sacrificing your ambition to become president for the sake of our country, I could see I was mistaken. Keep it up and stay as decent and full of integrity as you are no matter what people around you may tell you. I hope after Noynoy wins and finishes his term you will be the next President. You will certainly have my support. Just stay true to your core values.

  • rope

    good day, i just have a question to mr mar, why the medicine in the philippines is so expensive than the medicine in other country? one sample i will give you is im taking up anagrelide the price in the phil is P30,000.00 per 100pcs. and the price here where im at is only $50.00 so there is a difference of almost P25,000.00 and the medicine is made in india that is near to us, and the country where i am is so far and they can give this cheap price, i hope you can look at this and hope the poor people who needs this medicine can buy it cheaper. thank you

YES YOU DO HAVE THE RIGHT SAY THOSE THINGS, DAHIL THIS IS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY NA KUNG DI DAHIL SA MAGULANG NI NOYNOY AY HINDI KA MALAYANG MAGSASABI NG SALOOBIN MO…

Speaking the parents of noynoy, yes? we back in 1983-1986 my family and relatives are fanatics followers of ninoy aquino, due to his death even my brother was gunned down and killed by the marcos followers.bcause of his advocacy to cory aquino for president, but later i realized that marcos have a good reason of what he did during his leadership. for the sake of peace and order and cory aquino, did some mistakes.

    until now he is  engaging a psy war and black propaganda against our government.The uncompromise turn over of the meralco and abs-cbn back to lopezes clan, which is the people are sufferings to shoulders the system lost, and other expenses to their buildings back up by the 1987 cory constution

    My extented household have sixteen (16) registered voters. We will vote for Aquino-Roxas. As vice-president, Mar will surely win. BUT, be prepared for Legarda's protest. She is the typical Filipino politician; kapag natalo, NADAYA!!!

  • oragunon

    For those in favor of Aquino and Roxas, DO NOT pray that they will win. VOTE for them and convince relatives, friends and enemies to do likewise.

    I don't want to say any good things about Senator Mar in that last vice presidential debate because almost everybody watch that Paqcuiao like Knock Out of pretty Legarda in there.
    I have a small business & working in Sales all around the Philippines at the same time. I have clients, friends & relatives everywhere but I didn't campaigned because i don't want to be involve in politics, instead I convinced them to vote this young guys bcoz of their clean record, capacity & qualifications.. Good thing, we agree on the same side.
    Election is coming very fast, & were just waiting for the formality of Sen.Aquino as president & Sen. Mar as a Vice President. WE HAVE BIG HOPES IN OUR COUNTRY, WE DO BELIEVE THAT THIS YOUNG LEADERS HAVE THEIR SKILLS, PASSION & EVERYTHING IN LEADING & HELPING OUR COUNTRY TO A BRIGHTER PHILIPPINES.
    WE, OUR COUNTRY & THE FILIPINO PEOPLE ARE RELYING ON YOU SIR'S.
    LEAD AND WILL FOLLOW.
    LET US REBUILD THE PHILIPPINES!

    M,

    hope you don't mind calling you that.
    but my mum takes Lipitor and we were more than delighted to realize that the price has gone down 50% thanks to your cheaper medicines bill.
    as a vitamin commercial says “mahal magkasakit”, it is indeed important for all the filipinos to take care of their health, our health, preventive maintenance is the key. and having affordable meds is one way to surely help us. hopefully with your plans on education as well, we can bring forth educating the filipinos on how having a healthy well-being becomes of utmost importance especially if this means we are the ones earning a living to bring food to the table for our loved ones.
    Together let's fight for a better nation.

    thank you!
