00:22Angelique, after 7 months of the so-called Palitulo Scam in Valenzuela City,
00:30finally, there was a dialogue between the leadership of the ACE Medical Center and the victims.
00:37The two parties agreed to fix the case.
00:41They had a good resolution, including the financial assistance of the hospital to the victims,
00:48which is worth 1 million pesos.
00:50One of them was also given a birth certificate after 7 years.
00:55The victims of the flight and the serious illegal detention of the hospital will be remembered because of this commitment to them.
01:02With this, the local government formed the VC Anti-Hospital Detention Ordinance.
01:09Its purpose is to protect not only the patients but also their loved ones
01:16against the so-called detention of private hospitals in Luzon to pay their hospital bills.
01:23This is also in line with the assistance of any victim of the illegal activities of the hospitals.
01:28The Commission on Human Rights and the Department of Health are focused and are eager to respond.
01:34The Health Department also plans to implement the ordinance in the whole country
01:38to avoid the victims of temporary hospitalization.
01:42Meanwhile, the DOH is reminding the public to avoid drinking too much alcohol and eating too much during the holiday season
01:50to avoid the so-called holiday heart syndrome.
01:53The government is also urging the public not to smoke and instead to focus on community fireworks
02:01to avoid any firework-related injuries.
02:05This is the update. Back to you, Angelica.
02:07Thank you very much, Bien Manalo.
