00:00 Senator Robin Padilla apologized for letting his wife Mariel have an IV drip inside the Senate.
00:08 Mariel has a clarification about her drip session.
00:12 Ma'am Gonzalez has a report.
00:14 It's vitamin C.
00:19 We've been doing this for a long time.
00:21 I had no intention whatsoever to disrespect the Senate or anything like that.
00:29 This is Mariel Rodriguez Padilla's explanation after a batikos (a type of medical device)
00:34 made her have an IV drip while Senator Robin Padilla was at her husband's office.
00:39 Mariel said she was in the Senate to support her husband's work.
00:44 A professional nurse also watched her while she was having an IV drip.
00:48 Every week, I have a vitamin C drip.
00:53 You should relax because you're thinking that I'm doing a glutathione drip.
01:04 Mariel did not say in her post what type of medicine is in the IV drip.
01:09 But it was added to her caption that it helps with metabolism and whitening.
01:14 One of the first people to do this was Senate Ethics Committee Chairperson Nancy Binay.
01:19 Mr. Mariel wrote a letter to Senate President Meigs Ubiri,
01:23 to the Sergeant at Arms and Medical Bureau Director of the Senate to ask for a dispensary.
01:28 They said they do not ignore the Senate's regulations.
01:33 Stop this political issue.
01:36 We have a lot to talk about.
01:40 Binay accepted Padilla's request for a dispensary.
01:43 But if there is a formal complaint, the Ethics Committee will investigate Mariel's actions.
01:49 The DOH said that they do not support the use of glutathione as a whitening agent.
01:54 The FDA only approved it as an additional treatment in a form of chemotherapy.
02:00 The FDA does not approve any products that are used for skin lightening.
02:05 According to the FDA advisory,
02:07 the use of vitamin C injection is not safe
02:10 because it can cause kidney stones if the urine that is being injected is acidic.
