Former Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit announced he was resigning effective May 31, but stopped short of saying that President Arroyo had pressured him to do so. He claimed he simply felt it was time to move on after being in the Cabinet for four years. 


When pressed, Dayrit admitted that he and Mrs. Arroyo were already discussing "transitional changes in the government" as early as August 2004.

                    [Summary] => A disease expert assured the public yesterday that Metro Manila is safe from malaria because the pollution has driven away malaria-causing mosquitoes.


"They won’t survive in a polluted area. That’s why there won’t be malaria in Metro Manila," said Dr. Ma. Dorina Bustos, a medical specialist at the government-run Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM).


Bustos noted in a forum that malaria is common in mountainous areas where there is fresh or clean water where the mosquito breeds.

He said the Department of Health’s own data support this.


"In 2002, there were 59,616 confirmed malaria cases in Cagayan Valley, compared to 9,747 reported for the whole of Southern Tagalog, to which Palawan belongs. There are four times as many people in Region 4 than in Region 2, but the latter has seven times more malaria cases," he said.
