No Need for Cheaper Medicine Bill!

I don't think that our present congress can pass this long awaited bill. I believe that big multi-national companies are doing so hard in lobbying the congressmen not to pass this bill. There are two points that I wish to emphasize in this blog. First is that, our corrupt and bureaucratic government cannot pass this act and secondly the battle for affordable medicines cannot be solved in our congress.

Our congress cannot pass this law, it's good if they cannot do it for a certain reason. What will happen to the Filipino people if they 'will' not pass this law? In other words, if they intend not to pass it... Currently the bill is on its final reading, and currently also, big multi-national companies are lobbying so hard not to have this bill enacted. Why is that do? The answer is very simple, this will affect their market sales and will lower their profit. Just recently, big multi-national companies are establishing a generic counterpart of their company. RiteMed is a counterpart of Unilab, and I heard also that Sanofi Aventis is having one also, and many more... How will this bill pass? I don't think it will be enacted...

To solve the higher prices of medicines that the Filipinos carry cannot be resolved by the congress itself. Unless our congressman would be sincere enough in representing their constituents, whom i am sure would want a lower priced medicine, this bill cannot pass the readings. The Filipinos won't win the battle, only the opportunist representatives would win. Winning this battle can be achieved through marketing.

Seeking for options so that quality treatment may not have to be expensive is the Vision of Mr. Rodolfo I. Gracia, founder of GX International, Inc. He envisioned this as a weapon in winning the battle for affordable and top quality medicines. The company is hundred percent owned by Filipino businessmen who believe that Filipinos themselves are the only people who can serve the Filipinos at best.

Cheaper medicine Bill? No need of that. Support for the growth of GX International, Inc. Currently the company ranks third in the country's Filipino owned Pharmaceutical companies. In 1994, it was at the 500th place in the ranking of the countries top pharmaceutical companies. Right now, in more than ten years the company humbly ranks 17th (including the multi-nationals).

In Search for Perfection?

I am still under training to become a medical representative. It is a tough job but the benefits and compensations are really very good. What is best is that our company does not only give us a living but it also gives life for the poor, especially the ones deprived of quality medicines..

Upon studying different systems in our body, i just could not help myself but wonder who designed our body. It is really perfect! When somebody would ask me what is perfection, I would simply say, look at your bodies. There is something in our body that remains to be a mystery. It is a mystery that is yet to be uncovered. And because of that mystery, perfection is at hand.

Who is that somebody who created our body? I don't know... It is called Manama by the Bagobos, Allah for the Islams, and Jesus Christ for the Christians... As for me I am convinced and I choose to be convinced and believe that an Absolute Being created humanity... created Me.
