00:00May 22, the authorities seized Php 108 million in Gitoohang, Shabu.
00:12It was due to a bypass operation in Purukulo, Barangay Santa Irene, Bayugan City on January 27, 2020.
00:20The authorities were unable to recover the 16 kilos in Gitoohang, Shabu.
00:26We consider this to be one of the largest quantities of drugs seized by the authorities in the region.
00:33The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, Region 13,
00:37said that the entire operation was a result of a breach of trust between the government and the community
00:43that had a stake in the illegal use of the drugs.
00:48It was also a result of a breach of trust in the Republic Act No. 9165,
00:53or Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002,
00:56involving the individuals involved in the operation.
01:01The Department of Health did not favor the investigation into the case of Baby Switching,
01:09which took place in Davao Oriental, Provincial Medical Center in Mati City, Davao Oriental.
01:15DOH Undersecretary and Regional Director of DOH Region 11, Dr. Abdulla Dumama,
01:22also joined the Fact-Finding Committee
01:26in order to resolve the issue.
01:29He also said that the hospital was in a state of emergency
01:32and that it was not safe to stay in another hospital.
01:36DOH also emphasized the importance of the DOH approach.
01:42For example, the National Health Facility in Nasuda
01:46is an accredited mother-baby-friendly hospital.
01:49This means that in order to give birth and clean the baby,
01:53it is necessary to do this.
01:56It is also necessary to provide newborn screening
01:59and to distribute the vaccine to the baby.
02:04We will create a fact-finding team and to do a due process.
02:08We will closely coordinate with the hospital, of course.
02:12We will conduct an investigation to find out the root cause of the issue.
02:16If there is negligence, we will find out.
02:20If there is negligence, is there a punishment?
02:24Who is going to be penalized and who will penalize them?
