‘Very Good’! Ping, Sang-ayon sa Plano ng Google na I-‘Ban’ ang Political Ads

Malugod ang naging pagtanggap ni Senador Ping Lacson sa plano ng Google na huwag nang pahintulutan ang political advertising sa kanilang platform sa kasagsagan ng eleksyon sa Mayo 2022.

Para kay Lacson na tumatayong presidential standard-bearer ng Partido Reporma, mapipigilan nito ang pagkalat ng online trolls ng mga maling impormasyon sa internet.

“Very good. Ang trolls nag-a-abound,” ani Lacson sa lingguhang LACSON-SOTTO media forum, nang tinanong siya hinggil sa naturang plano ng Google na i-ban ang political advertising mula Feb. 8 hanggang May 9, 2022.

Tanong ni Ping: Sobrang Taas na Presyo ng DOH sa Sinovac Vaccines, Sino Nagdikta?

Sino kaya ang nagdikta sa Department of Health (DOH) kaya mataas ang presyo ng Sinovac vaccines na dati nitong binanggit?

Tinanong ito ni Senador Panfilo Lacson matapos na nagsabing “not totally acceptable” ang paliwanag ni DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III na hinanap niya lang sa Google ang presyo ng nabanggit na bakuna.

“Unverified reports that some shenanigans working behind the scene might have fed the DOH the unreasonably high price of the Sinovac vaccine could lend credence to the attempt to dupe the Filipino taxpayers even during a pandemic,” pagbubunyag ng mambabatas.

Lumalabas kasi na masyadong malayo ang isiniwalat na presyo na isiniwalat ng DOH kumpara sa mga report na naglalabasan.

“As early as Oct. 14, 2020, it was reported that the price of Sinovac vaccines in Indonesia was about P683. There is also a price range of P650 to P700 per dose that was relayed to us. This is quite far from the P3,629.50 submitted by the DOH to the Senate finance committee in December last year for the 2021 budget deliberations,” nagtatakang pahayag ng senador.
