[Title] => Pharmaceutical companies move to stop ‘brain drain’
[Summary] => "Being a doctor is hard today," says cardiologist Dr. Marcelito Durante, a former president of the Philippine College of Physicians (PCP), the country’s premier association of internal medicine specialists.
"A public doctor’s salary is not much different from an ordinary employee. Even those in private practice don’t earn as much, which is why many potentially good doctors opt to study nursing just to go abroad," he says.

[Title] => Metabolic syndrome: Don’t eat to your heart’s discontent
[Summary] => We generally love to eat to our heart’s content. We rarely give it a thought that sometimes we eat to our heart’s discontent. Even worse, sometimes we eat our way to the grave.
Metabolic syndrome is now a well-recognized problem associated with an increased cardiovascular mortality. And lifestyle, especially dietary indiscretion, may have a lot to do with it. In recent data from the National Health Survey, 14-20 percent of Filipinos above 20 years old have metabolic syndrome.
