[Title] => Headway, hitches in drive for cheap drugs - Gotcha
[Summary] =>
Public clamor for cheap medicine is bearing fruit. United Lab, the biggest
Filipino drug maker, has cut prices of its hottest-selling items by 10 to 40
percent. The products are essential or life-saving drugs in health officials'
lists, mainly for respiratory tract infection and tuberculosis.
Health workers hailed Unilab's move as crucial in influencing other Filipino
drug makers to cut prices. Poor Filipinos with respiratory ills no longer buy
prescribed medicines because of prohibitive costs.

[Title] => Drug prices hinge on SEC cases - Gotcha
[Summary] =>
Going by numerous user complaints, House Minority Leader Sonny Belmonte was
right to question the new 10-percent tax on cellphones with no impositions on
phone companies to improve services.
A common complaint is the voice-mail racket. Callers pay to leave voice
messages on subscribers' cellphones. Then, subscribers are charged for
accessing the messages. To make things worse, cellphone companies alert
subscribers about urgent messages -- then charge them for the call.
Some cellphone firms install voice-mail features in SIM cards of supposedly
cheap but modern units.
