00:00 Wasted and not used, that's how almost a million pesos of expired medicine and other items were found in a rural health office in Albay.

00:13 That's what Jessica Kalinog of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Bicolandia.

00:22 Boxes of expired medicine, syringes and boxes for throwing medical materials.

00:30 That's how much was found by the mayor of Bacakay, Albay in their rural health unit.

00:36 According to the mayor, almost a million pesos of expired medicine and other items were found.

00:42 The RHU officer, Dr. Merly Beltran, explained to the mayor that most of the expired medicine can be considered as non-essential drugs.

00:51 In my opinion, it's invalid to make people, the residents, who have a lot of money, use other drugs.

01:03 For example, if you have a lot of money, you should use other drugs.

01:07 Next, the community hearing called the local government.

01:11 The issue is to be aware of those who are using expired medicine as well as those who are using it in a proper disposal.

01:19 GMA Regional TV went to Balitang Bicolandia, the RHU.

01:23 Dr. Beltran appeared in front of the camera.

01:26 But he told us that most of the expired medicine is not available to people who are asking for consultation.

01:34 There are some from private donors and some from the Department of Health.

01:39 They are waiting for a memorandum of agreement between the RHU and a private waste disposal area in the town of Daraga

01:48 for the disposal of medicines and biohazard materials.

01:52 The RHU also opened its door to a committee hearing of the local government to give its opinion.

01:58 The LGU decided to answer anyone who can prove that there is a waste in the alleged incident.

02:05 We are still trying to get a statement from the Department of Health in this matter, but they still have no answer from us.

02:12 For GMA Integrated News, Jessica Calinog of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Bicolandia.

02:18 Reporting for 24 Hours.
