[Title] => Villar bill to set up hospital for OFWs
[Summary] => A bill was filed in Congress seeking the establishment of a hospital for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
In sponsoring the bill, Senate President Pro Tempore Manuel Villar Jr. said the rising cases of OFWs with AIDS now require a medical facility to look after their health.
"Filipinos working overseas subject themselves to various health risks while they are away from their families," he said. "Furthermore, being citizens in a foreign land, they may not be granted equal access to medical care."

[Title] => Villar seeks free medical, dental care for poor kids
[Summary] => Senate President Pro Tempore Manuel Villar Jr. has filed a bill seeking to require public and private hospitals and other health institutions to give medical and dental care to poor children.
Villar said private hospitals and other health institutions will be allowed income tax deductions based on expenses and lost profits to be carried out for a period of five years.
"It is sad to see young children suffering from illnesses and whose conditions worsen due to the inability of their parents to pay for needed medical attention," he said.

[Title] => Wanted: Rain-making planes for El Niño
[Summary] => The Philippine Air Force (PAF) is in need of special aircraft to combat a different kind of foe — the El Niño phenomenon.
Senate President Pro Tempore Manuel Villar Jr. said yesterday the PAF’s cloud-seeding task force currently has no plane for operations that will generate rainfall during the dry spell.
Citing a report by the 900th Air Force Weather Group, Villar said three Cessna planes involved in seeding operations have now been reverted to their original purpose as training aircraft.
