kagamitan sa pagtatayo ng bahay.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Every year, Mokpo
National University sends students to Plaridel for community immersion, tapos
nakita nila yung Jubilee Homes kaya nagtayo sila ng soil house,” ani Espejo na
siya ring tagapangulo ng Commission on Service ng Diyosesis ng Malolos.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ikunuwento niya na ang soil house sa Jubilee Homes ay
itinayo ng mga Koreano kasama ang may 20 kabataan mula sa bayang ito.</div>

Ipinagmalaki ni Espejo na bukod sa maliit ang gastos sa
pagtatayo ng soil house ay matibay din ito.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It’s very strong and very cheap because they only used soil
and bamboo sticks,” ani ng pari at sinabing ang soil house ay natapos loob ng
10 araw lamang.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ang soil house na kanilang itinayo ay may isang kuwarto,
kusina, sala at banyo.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Ayon kay Espejo, mas madadagdan pa ang soil house sa Jubilee
Homes dahil sa susunod na taon ay inaasahang darating ang mas malaking grupo ng
mag-aaral na Koreano kasama ang mga dalubhasa sa paggawa ng soil house.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Ikunuwento rin ng pari na sa kanilang pagbisita sa Korea noong
nakaraang taon, ipinakita sa kanila ang mga gusaling yari sa lupa, kabilang
dito ang mga<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>paaralan na may tatlong

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">According to Sec. Montejo, a strong and brisk metalworking sector is an important component in increasing the gross domestic product in the local and global economy. Globally, the metals and allied industries employ some 70 million people worldwide and account for nearly half of the goods produced in the manufacturing sector and more than half of all merchandise exported worldwide in terms of value, he said.<a href="" name="1370074a1b37fb4c__GoBack" style="color: #1155cc;"></a></span></div>

priorities in DOST’s drug development program which looks into natural
substances from plants and animals as possible sources of cure for diseases.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Natural products research in the country is being refocused
and modernized by DOST as competition in the increasingly global industry
becomes more intense,” DOST Secretary Mario Montejo said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
An analysis of drug origins from 1981-2002 showed that28
percent of new chemical entities (NCE)are from natural products.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“This is a significant percentage,” said Dr. Jaime Montoya,
DOST-PCHRDexecutive director.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
An NCE is a molecule developed at theearly stage of the drug
discovery process. Itgoes through clinical trials before it is developed into a
drug that could cure certain diseases. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That most NCEs come from natural productssuggests that
natural products are important sources of new drugs or lead compounds suitable
for further modifications during drug development, Dr. Montoya explained.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Drug development is one of the priority programs of
DOST-PCHRD starting this year. To harmonize drug discovery researches in the
country, the Council launched<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>"Tuklas Lunas" (Filipino for cure discovery) Centers<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to build the health research capacity in the
regions. Named as the first Tuklas Lunas Center
in the country is the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology
(MSU-IIT) campus, to be followed by two more research institutes in Luzon and the Visayas.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Along with developing new drugs from natural products,
DOST-PCHRD will also embark on development of diagnostic kits for priority
diseases, genomics and molecular technology; functional foods; hospital
equipment and biomedical devices; information and communication technology
(ICT) in health; and chronobiologyor the study of the effects of night and day
to living organisms. PCHRD in particular will study the effect of shifting work
schedules for workers in the Business Process Outsource industries, Dr. Montoya
revealed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
PCHRD, one of the sectoral councils of DOST is mandated to
formulate policies, plans, programs, project, and strategies for health science
and technology development; program and allocate government and external funds
for research and development; monitor research and development projects; and
generate external funds.</div>Mabuhay Onlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03020174271132579599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846337621343645747.post-85876606155929985192012-03-29T09:35:00.001-07:002012-03-29T09:35:16.661-07:00Root crops keep bad cholesterol down, DOST study says<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you want to control your cholesterol level, better
include camote or its cousins in your daily fare. In a study by the Department
of Science and Technology’s Food and Nutrition Research Institute, it was found
that root crops abundant in the country can keep bad cholesterol level down.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Led by DOST-FNRI’s
Dr. Trinidad Trinidad, the study team discovered that daily intake of root
crops significantly lowers<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>bad
cholesterol levels in the body.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Root crops are able to lower bad cholesterol levels because
of their dietary fiber content,” said Dr. Trinidad. Dietary fiber or roughage
is that part of the vegetable or fruit that is not digested and not absorbed in
a human's digestive tract.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Dietary fibers come from a family of carbohydrates that
ferments in the colon, turning into short-chain fatty acids that release
energy,” Trinidad explained. “These fatty
acids include butyrate, which prevents the risk of colon cancer, and propionate
which helps prevent cholesterol synthesis.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Aside from dietary fiber, root crops also contain vitamin C,
calcium, phosphorus, and iron.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The study involved subjects aged 30-55 years, physically and
mentally fit, and with moderately-raised serum cholesterol levels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The subjects were non-smokers and were not
under any medication. They were all fed with test food for two weeks.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The team used various root crops such as camote (sweet
potato), gabi (taro), tugi (lesser or Chinese yam), ube (purple yam), and
cassava.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the end of the study, the researchers found that the
cholesterol level of the subjects remained stable. Trinidad’s
team concluded that root crops, due to their cholesterol-lowering effect, would
be important in the proper control and management of chronic diseases, such as
cardiovascular diseases.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In individual analysis, the team found that all the root
crops used in the study decreased the level of bad cholesterol, especially
cassava and camote. The team also discovered that tugi, a root crop
abundant<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in the north, even increased
good cholesterol.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In another study, researchers found that corn is good for
the heart. It contains</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
folate that lowers the level of homocysteine, a kind of
amino acid that damages the lining of arteries and may make blood clot more
easily than it should. High homocysteine levels may lead to heart attack.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Corn also has thiamin and pantothenic acid that help in
producing energy for the body and in reducing stress.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Root crops and corn are traditional Filipino foods that, in
some parts of the country, serve as staple food. For the average Filipino, root
crops and corn are best eaten as snacks—tasty, filling, and inexpensive.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So if you want to keep your cholesterol down, junk the
grease and go back to eating boiled corn, camote, and cassava. “These foods
used to be labeled as ‘pagkain ng mahirap’ (food for the poor) but now it is
also for the rich,” quipped Trinidad.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even that sweet camote que is good, “as long as there’s not
much sugar in it and you eat in moderation,” Trinidad
advised.</div>Mabuhay Onlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03020174271132579599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846337621343645747.post-60491281022328391762012-03-22T18:48:00.003-07:002012-03-22T18:48:24.979-07:00DOST eyes prospects for abaca industry<div class="MsoNormal">
Abaca, considered as the strongest natural fiber in the
world, s the only one that can match the durability of synthetic fibers.
Because of abaca’s strength, it was originally used for ship rigging and other
heavy-duty industrial applications.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Up
to the present, the Philippines
is the world’s leading producer of abaca fiber, which is why abaca is also
called Manila hemp.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is mainly grown in the Eastern
Visayas and Bicol regions and remains the backbone of the
livelihoods of thousands of families in those parts of the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because of abaca’s socioeconomic impact on many Filipinos,
the Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI), a research and
development agency of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST),
continues to encourage activities that strengthen the abaca industry.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a DOST-
ITDI-sponsored seminar, Dr. Hitoshi Takagi of the University
of Tokushima in Japan,
discussed the topic “Characterization of Abaca Fiber Reinforced Green
Composites,” in which he offered a comparative study between the properties of
untreated abaca fiber and abaca fiber treated with green composites.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to Dr.
Takagi, the said process strengthens every single strand of a fiber by
solidifying its lumen, or the strand’s hollow part. The use of green
composites, he added, will make abaca fiber stronger and more heat resistant
than bamboo fiber.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As such, this process has the clear potential to boost and
revive the local abaca sector by posing a challenge to the dominance of
synthetic fibers in the global market.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Meanwhile, Dr. Byung-Sun
Kim, a principal researcher at the Korea Institute of Material Science (KIMS),
gave a detailed look on the many and varied applications of natural fiber
composites in items around us.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Among the many uses he presented was the use of abaca fiber
as roofing material for public utility jeepneys. Dr. Kim said that unlike
steel, abaca has lower heat conductivity that can keep temperatures cooler
inside the jeep, a major benefit considering the country’s tropical warmth and
humidity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Likewise, he urged Filipinos to patronize locally
handcrafted bags made from natural fibers as a substitute for plastic bags when
shopping. He noted that the use of “bayong” was common but has since fallen out
of favor among shoppers. However, Dr. Kim said that plastic bags contribute
significantly to the growing problem of waste disposal, and that these are
often the reason for the clogging of sewers and waterways especially in Metro
Manila.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dr. Kim is also
looking forward to collaborating with ITDI in abaca fiber R&D, a proposal
met with support in the gathering because of its potential impact to abaca
producers as well as related industries such as ropemaking, handicraft, and
garments.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seminar on Natural Fiber Composites was
participated in by representatives from other government agencies,
entrepreneurs, and university students. (Ceajay N. Valerio, S&T Media

Researchers from University of the Philippines are
studying marine microorganisms in sponges that may lead to the discovery of new
drugs for tuberculosis, pneumonia and other infectious diseases, and snails
that could provide anti-pain agents.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Led by UP’s Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Gisela
P. Concepcion, researchers from the UP Marine Science Institute (MSI) have
isolated microorganisms associated with sponges and are currently confirming
their anti-infective<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>properties or
ability to combat infections. This is part of the program called Pharmaseas
Marine Drug Development Program which was funded by Department of Science and
Technology--Philippine Council for Marine and Aquatic Resources Research and
Development (PCMARRD) which is now Philippine Council for Agriculture Aquatic
Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also part of the Pharmaseas program is the discovery of
anti-pain drugs from the venom of turrid snails. Anti-pain drugs are important
in the management of cancer and other debilitating illnesses.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sponges, the oldest multi cellular animals, are regarded as
the “most successful organisms.” They are physically defenseless, soft-bodied
and sedentary making them easy prey, yet they have survived millions of years.
According to experts, their survival rests on their ability to produce
different kinds of bioactive compounds to protect themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Scientists recently have discovered that
microorganisms in the tissues of sponges produce some of these compounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The emergence of drug-resistant pathogens or microorganisms
that cause diseases has propelled the need to produce new drugs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The researchers from MSI have isolated
compounds that could be used to produce new drugs to combine with existing
antibiotics. Combination therapy is the thrust nowadays to combat
drug-resistant pathogens, according to Dr. Concepcion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The researchers have isolated and characterized several
peptides, in which molecules are formed by joining two or more amino acids or
building blocks of proteins, from the venoms of turrid snails that were
collected from the rich marine diversity of the Philippines.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Aside from the two main projects of Pharmaseas which entail
isolating, purifying and characterizing compounds from marine microorganisms
and venoms of turrid snails for drug discovery, there are three other support
projects under the program.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first support project, MMO’s and Turrids: Collection,
Ecology, Biology, and Bioinformatics, successfully gathered data for the
program and this database website can now be accessed through the UP local
network.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The researchers were also able to do optimization studies
for the culture of bioactive compounds through another support project “Marine
Microorganisms: Characterization and Culture Optimization.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Culture optimization will let the researchers
culture the microorganisms in the laboratory so that they do not have to keep
collecting the sponges thereby preserving marine biodiversity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The researchers of the last support project, Marine
Microorganisms and Turrids: Genetics, Molecular Phylogeny and Gene Expression,
are classifying the organisms and the turrids according to their genetic
markers or specific genes that produce a recognizable trait and can be used in
family or population studies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The group
is leading the classification of turrids which are at least 12,000 species
worldwide 5,000 of which can be found in the Philippines.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Pharmaseas program has so far achieved its objectives,
but Dr. Gisela admits that the roll out of drugs based on their research will
come in later.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It is unrealistic to say that we can roll it out in five
years. But if nobody is going to start now with the biodiversity that is right
beside us, who is going to provide this 15 years from now?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dr. Concepcion said.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The average time for research and development for new drugs
is around 15 years.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dr. Concepcion and her team are now preparing the terminal
report for the Pharmaseas program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
have submitted a phase two proposal to continue its initial achievements.</div>Mabuhay Onlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03020174271132579599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846337621343645747.post-83627472703307475242012-03-06T17:53:00.004-08:002012-03-06T17:53:44.334-08:00Greening science and technology to fight poverty<div class="yiv46898307MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

Popular varieties Research Institute of the Department<br />of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST) determined the effects of local root crops<br />in lowering cholesterol levels among humans with moderately-raised cholesterol<br />levels.<br /><br />The study showed that eating kamote and cassava significantly decreased the total<br />cholesterol levels of adults. Specifically, cassava was shown to have significantly<br />decreased LDL-cholesterol levels.<br /><br />The study concluded that rootcrops, due to their dietary fiber content, could have a<br />significant role in the reduction of lipid biomarkers.<br /><br />Another study by the FNRI-DOST explained that dietary fiber that is fermented in<br />the large intestine (or colon) binds with toxins and is excreted in the feces. Toxins<br />in the colon contribute to the formation of tumors and cancer.<br /><br />Folate present in corn is good for the heart because it lowers the level of<br />homocysteine, an amino acid responsible for damaging the blood vessels and<br />increasing the blood clotting, which may lead to heart attack.<br /><br />Corn also contains carotenoid beta-cryptoxanthin, which aids in lowering the<br />chances of lung cancer.<br /><br />Other health benefits from corn include the increase in memory levels due to<br />thiamin which is important in brain cell functions., and together with panthothenic<br />acid, helps in energy production and stress reduction.<br /><br />Glycemic index is the individual’s glucose response to a food as compared to a<br />reference food and tells whether and how a food will raise blood sugar levels.<br /><br />Rootcrops and the white variety of corn have low glycemic index at less than 60,<br />which means that they are beneficial in the proper control and management of<br />diabetes mellitus and in maintaining normal weight.<br /><br />Message 5 of the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos (NGF), developed by a technical<br />working group (TWG) headed by the FNRI-DOST, states that one should eat more<br />vegetables, fruits, and root crops. In the Daily Nutritional Guide for lactating<br />women, it is suggested that they consume 6-7 servings of rice, corn, rootcrops, and<br />their substitutes.<br /><br />Root crops and corn have a lot of nutritional and health benefits, so why not include<br />them in your daily diet?<br /><br />Recipes with root crops and corn are featured in the 2011 FNRI Menu Guide<br />Calendar.<br /><br />The calendar includes 12 monthly-7 day cycle menu, estimated energy and nutrient<br />contribution per recipe, information about root crops and corn, and nutrition and<br />food tips for keeping a healthy body.<br /><br />For more information on food and nutrition, contact: Dr. Mario V.

The bulk of the household diet is mainly cereals<br />and cereal products, weighing 361 grams. Moreover, there was a decreasing trend<br />in the consumption of starchy roots and tubers from 19 grams in 2003 to 17 grams<br />in 2008, the survey further revealed.<br />To address the problem revealed by the survey, the FNRI-DOST developed<br />nutritious and acceptable recipes utilizing rootcrops and corn. These are aimed<br />toward meeting the energy needs of the Filipino family and to promote their<br />consumption.<br /><br />Rootcrops are grown in the Philippines chiefly for human food and these are good<br />sources of carbohydrates. Kamote, taro, yam, potatoes, cassava, among others are<br />examples of rootcrops that are available and abundant thoughout the year.<br /><br />Corn is the second staple food of Filipinos. Depending on the variety, corn is loaded<br />with vitamins and minerals. It is also associated with many health benefits aside<br />from being nutritious. White corn is considered as a low glycemic index (GI) food.<br />Low GI food is good for the proper control and management of diabetes mellitus<br />because it delays hunger pangs and promotes weight loss in overweight people.<br />Mabuhay Onlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03020174271132579599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846337621343645747.post-77762589826924147212012-03-05T16:55:00.001-08:002012-03-05T16:55:35.355-08:00Breastfeeding – pinakamainam kay baby at mommy!<br /><br />Walang makatatalo sa gatas ng ina para sa kalusugan ng mga sanggol.<br /><br />Ayon sa mga dalubhasa, ang gatas ng ina ang pinakamasustansiyang pagkain para<br />kay baby.<br /><br />Kayang ibigay ng gatas ng ina ang lahat ng sustansiyang kailangan ng sanggol sa<br />unang anim na buwan ng kanyang buhay, ayon pa rin sa mga eksperto.<br /><br />Taglay ng breastmilk ang mga sustansiyang kailangan ni baby sa tamang<br />proporsyon at dami ng sustansiyang kinakailangan ng sanggol sa unang anim na<br />buwan ng kanyang buhay.<br /><br />Ito ay madaling matunaw at ma-absorb ng sanggol at hindi din ito nagdudulot ng<br />allergy.<br /><br />Ang gatas ng ina ay malinis at laging available sa tamang temperatura, kaya ang<br />sanggol ay hindi makakaranas ng pagtatae o diarrhea.<br /><br />Ang pagpapasuso o breastfeeding ay masasabing magandang karanasan ng isang<br />babae.<br /><br />Sa pagpapasuso ay lalong napapalapit ang anak sa ina dahil damang-dama ng<br />sanggol ang init ng pagmamahal na nagmumula sa dibdib ng ina.<br /><br />Ang pagpapasuso ay napakahalaga dahil ito ay maalwan o magaan para sa ina at<br />sanggol, walang gastos, hindi na kailangang maghugas at mag-sterilize ng mga<br />bote at tsupon at hindi na paghihintayin nang matagal si baby para makasuso.<br />Hindi na rin kailangang bumangon sa gabi para ipagtimpla ng gatas ang anak dahil<br />ang gatas ng ina ay instant at laging available kahit anong oras.<br /><br />Para sa ina, nakatutulong ang pagpapasuso upang maibalik sa normal na laki ang<br />kanyang matris.<br /><br />Ang tuloy-tuloy na pagpapasuso o iyong madalas at walang patlang na pagpasuso<br />sa loob ng unang anim na buwan at mahigit pa dito ay makakatutulong rin sa pag-<br />iwas sa agarang pagbubuntis ng ina.<br /><br />Ang pagpapasuso ay nakapagpapababa din ng posibilidad na magkaroon ng breast<br />cancer ang isang ina.<br /><br />Kaya’t halina, ating hikayatin ang lahat ng kababaihang buntis at balak magbuntis<br />na piliing ibigay ang gatas ng ina sa kanilang mga sanggol.<br /><br />Tandaan, ang pagpapasuso ang isa sa pinakamahalagang<br />mapangalagaan ang mga bata laban sa malnutrisyon.<br /><br />Ayon sa pangalawang mensahe ng Gabay sa Wastong Nutrisyon o Nutritional<br />Guidelines for Filipinos na binalangkas sa pamumuno ng Food and Nutrition<br />Research Institute ng Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-<br />DOST), “Pasusuhin ang sanggol ng gatas ng ina laman mula pagkasilang hanggang<br />anim na buwan at saka bigyan ng mga angkop na pagkain habang pinapasuso pa.”<br /><br />Para sa karagdagang impormasyon tungkol sa pagkain at nutrisyon, lumiham<br />o tumawag kay Dr. Mario V.
