Report Pattaya’s Smoking Crackdown: Expats Voice Concerns
I just said it looks worse because not only do the trash comes from mainland, but also from offshore. I didn’t say they shouldn’t do what needs to be done to prevent trash to float out at once there is a rainfall or two. -

Report Sen. Villar Advocates for Action on Rising Rabies Cases
File photo for reference only Senator Mark Villar is urging swift, decisive action to tackle the growing threat of rabies in the country, a situation he describes as a significant public health crisis. Rabies-related fatalities are on the rise, with many victims, alarmingly, diagnosed only when symptoms manifest, leaving no room for effective medical intervention. “The increase in rabies deaths is truly distressing,” Villar stated, referencing recent reports circulating online. At the core of most rabies incidents are common problems: insufficient access to human anti-rabies vaccines, neglect in vaccinating pets and stray animals, and a widespread underestimation of the disease’s deadly potential. To combat these issues, Villar has introduced a bill in the 20th Congress aimed at establishing at least one public veterinary clinic in every city and municipality nationwide. These clinics would offer accessible and affordable vet services, including animal vaccinations and low-cost medications. The initiative would be coordinated with the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Animal Industry and local governments. “One effective way to control rabies spread, particularly in stray populations, is through the trap-vaccinate-release method,” Villar explained. “By making veterinary services available, we help communities safeguard themselves and their pets.” The proposed bill also intends to stimulate local efforts for rabies prevention, especially at the grassroots level. Many areas currently lack sufficient veterinary services, increasing the risk of preventable diseases like rabies. “Through this legislation, we aim to ensure veterinary care is within the reach of every Filipino pet owner,” Villar asserted. “We must also institute measures to vaccinate stray animals.” This proactive approach seeks to offer a comprehensive response, empowering communities and protecting both human and animal populations from the rabies threat, potentially saving numerous lives and improving public health outcomes in the long run. If passed, the bill promises a significant step forward in controlling and eventually eradicating rabies in the country, fostering safer communities and enhancing public health infrastructure. With rabies a pressing issue, Villar’s initiative underscores an urgent call for action, encouraging both national and local stakeholders to collaborate for a healthier future.
