[Title] => New warning out on drugs with PPA
[Summary] => Amid the controversy over the safety risks of phenylpropanolamine (PPA), the Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) has released a warning on the taking of cough and cold drugs containing this chemical substance.

[Title] => BFAD ruling on PPA drugs hit
[Summary] => The administrative order issued by the Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) that allowed the sale of medical products containing phenylpropanolamine (PPA) is highly questionable and "ridiculous."
One of the country’s top pharmacologists who requested anonymity told The STAR that BFAD Administrative Order (AO) 163 issued on Dec. 4, 2000 by then BFAD director Dr. William Torres and approved by then Health Secretary Alberto Romualdez is questionable since it allowed the over-the-counter sale of drugs containing a regulated chemical substance such as PPA.

[Title] => BFAD head open to entry of abortion pill into RP
[Summary] => CLARK FIELD, Pampanga – The head of Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD) said yesterday he is likely to approve the entry into the country of the contraceptive RU-486 amid objections from various sectors, including the Catholic Church.
In a telephone interview with The STAR, BFAD chief Dr. William Torres described the pill as "safe," while stressing that it is not an abortifacient.
"It (RU-486) can be approved if they (manufacturers) apply (for entry into the local market)," Torres said.

[Title] => Universal access for the rural areas
[Summary] => Dr. William Torres (President, Moscom Internet)
Over these past few years, the telecommunications industry struggled to bring telephony to the countryside to beef up a nationwide communication system. With the breaking of PLDT’s monopoly, more players came to fore to partake of what appears to be a profitable venture.
To this day, telecom companies continue to lay down lines and look for profitable service areas. Still, the percentage of subscribers who avail themselves of these lines remains roughly at 40 percent national average.
