Senators seek increase in PhilHealth's anti-rabies coverage
Two senators asked the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) to increase its package for anti-rabies vaccination amid the rising rabies cases. In a hearing on Tuesday, Senator Bong Go said some patients might have hesitation about availing of anti-rabies shots because of the costs. 'Baka ang mga kababayan natin sa takot ayaw na magpa-injection dahil mahal ang babayaran. Lalo na pag talagang positibo na kailangan nila magpa-inject. Baka maaring taasan nyo ang inyong coverage para hindi matakot ang ating mga kababayan na magpa-injection at magpa-gamot dahil may PhilHealth na masasandalan nila,' said Go, chairperson of the Senate Committe on Health. (Perhaps our countrymen are scared of the injection because the fees are expensive. There really is a need for vaccination, especially when they test positive. Perhaps there can be an increase in coverage so that our countrymen would no longer be scared of vaccination and treatment because they can depend on PhilHealth.) 'Ang bilis, ang bilis niyan. Hindi yan pwedeng sandali…. Dapat punta kaagad sa hospital, punta kaagad sa health center, check-up kaagad. At kung kailangan magpa-injection, injection kaagad. Dapat tumugon kaagad ang gobyerno dahil buhay po rito ang nakataya dito,' he added. (It's so fast. They can't delay… You would have to immediately head to a hospital or to a health center for a check-up. If you need an injection, you need to be vaccinated right away. The government has to respond right away because there are lives at stake.) In an advisory in March 2025, PhilHealth noted that its current Animal Bite Package covers P5,850 for vaccinations. Some hospitals offer free vaccinations for humans, while local government offices also offer free vaccinations for pets. Senator Raffy Tulfo said that local government units must allot a budget for anti-rabies vaccinations for both animals and humans. Two rabies deaths occurred within a month —a man who died nine months after the bite and a woman who was bitten two months ago. The two did not avail themselves of anti-rabies shots. In 2024, the DOH reported a total of 426 rabies-related deaths and emphasized the need for pet vaccinations and increased rabies awareness. Meanwhile, Go also asked the Department of Budget and Management to settle the Health Emergency Allowance (HEA) payouts of health workers. 'Unahin niyo bayaran ang mga appeals ng health emergency allowances. Yung mga health workers natin na nagsakripisyo at nakipagpatayan sa atin ng panahon ng pandemya. Kung totoo naman na pinaghirapan nila at pinagtrabahuan nila, sana gawan nyo po ito ng paraan,' he said. (Prioritize paying the appeals of health emergency allowances. Our health workers have sacrificed and faced the frontlines for us during the pandemic. If it is true that they have worked for this, I hope something could be done.) 'Services rendered po yan, pinagpawisan po yan, pinaghirapan po yan ng ating mga health workers. Sila po ang hero ng pandemya. Di natin mararating ito kung hindi dahil sa kanila. Ibigay po what is due,' he continued. (These are rendered services, toiled with sweat and hard work by our health workers. They are the heroes of the pandemic. We will not be able to get here without them. Give them what is due.)—LDF, GMA Integrated News

MOVIE REVIEW: We see if 'It Feeds' satisfies horror fans' taste buds
Little originality on show but still works. on its own merits - just. It Feeds stars Twilight's Ashley Greene as clairvoyant Cynthia who is forced into action to protect her daughter Jordan (Ellie O'Brien) and young stranger Riley (Shayelin Martin) from an evil entity. Writer-director Chad Archibald's ( Bite, The Heretics) horror film somehow gets away with sharing DNA with the likes of Insidious to still work on its own merits - just. Cynthia's personal experience of traumatic loss drives her decision-making and for much of the movie all that matters to her is Jordan's safety and avoiding confrontation. But Jordan leaps into action to help Riley, especially after engaging with Riley's aggressive, secretive dad Randall (Shawn Ashmore). O'Brien's infectious and endearing selflessness drives the flick and Jordan's fate quickly intertwines with Riley's. Greene and Ashmore actually starred together in 2021's decent but inexplicably long thriller Aftermath and do a good job here as the main adults on show. Greene's character is clearly torn between doing the right thing and her family's self-preservation and despite using increasingly extreme measures, all Ashmore's Randall is out to do is also protect his daughter. I could've done without Juno Rinaldi's kooky Agatha, who only seems to exist to give Cynthia and Jordan a helping hand when the plot requires it, and would like to have seen more of the always offbeat and fascinating presence of Julian Richings ( Dr Whittaker). I was also torn between thinking the climactic showdown sequence was cool or dumb. It's very Insidious, with characters entering a dark world through their minds, but the visuals are immersive and the environment threatening. Quite why everyone ends up wearing goth-like clothing and is styled with eye-opening hair and make-up is pretty bizarre, though. It Feeds won't win any points for originality, however, Archibald's latest horror dishes out just enough scares, meaningful motivations and stirring shots to satisfy genre fans' taste buds. ● Pop me an email at and I will pass on any movie or TV show recommendations you have to your fellow readers.

Mother stabbed four-year-old son to death hours after school pick-up, court told
Officers found Kobi Dooly-Macharia cold to the touch in his cot with dozens of knife wounds, Inner London Crown Court heard on Monday. There were also signs of attempted strangulation, the court heard. Keziah Macharia, 43, has been charged with murdering Kobi on or about December 20 2023 but she has been deemed unfit to stand trial. Mrs Justice Thornton said there should be a 'fact-finding hearing' to decide if Macharia killed Kobi but not if she murdered him. She told jurors not to 'consider her state of mind and whether she is at fault', which would be needed for a murder verdict. Ben Dooly and Macharia started a relationship after meeting in 2018 and their son Kobi was born on September 21 2019, prosecutor Mukul Chawla KC said. The couple lived together with Kobi in Macharia's first-floor flat in Montague Road, Hackney, but the relationship deteriorated after his birth, he added. Mr Dooly moved out and started sleeping on the sofa two or three days a week but this ended after he met his current girlfriend, Sasha Sasheva, the court heard. Macharia was 'very unhappy' with Kobi spending any time with Ms Sasheva, Mr Chawla said, adding that Ms Sasheva blocked Macharia on her phone and on social media because of messages she received. Mr Dooly last saw Kobi alive at his school nativity play the day before the alleged attack, jurors heard. CCTV played to the court shows Macharia collecting her son from Nightingale Primary School, Hackney, by car at around 4.30pm on December 20. Kobi could be seen leaving the building wearing a coat and carrying a red balloon, accompanied by Macharia. 'You see nothing of distress or anything out of the ordinary in terms of her demeanour', the prosecutor said. He added: 'It appears that at some point that evening the defendant started drinking alcohol; when she started drinking and how much she drank cannot be established'. The court heard that at 10.42pm Macharia sent a WhatsApp message to Mr Dooly that said: 'Hi Ben, good Luck with the biteme_cups five days before Xmas! 'I hope you and Sasha enjoy your lives together. I can't live knowing that she'll have the same surname as my son Kobi, and I will not be in your life anymore. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Goodbye x' Bite Me cups was Mr Dooly's recently established business, the prosecutor added. Macharia then messaged Ms Sasheva's phone and said 'this is all your fault' and 'you will never have the same surname as my son', the court heard. At 10.48pm, Macharia sent Mr Dooly WhatsApp messages less than a minute apart that said 'Kobi is dead' and 'you can thank Sasha for that', the prosecution said. The pair contacted the police with Mr Dooly reporting he had just been told by the mother of his child that his son is dead, jurors were told. The court also heard that Macharia at 10.49pm texted 'Kobi is dead' to a WhatsApp group chat recently created by a woman called Reena Life. Police attended the property at 10.59pm and body-worn footage showed officers repeatedly banging on the door, ringing the bell, and shouting without receiving a response. Macharia and Ms Life were on a WhatsApp call as police hit the door outside, jurors were told. During the call, Ms Life heard the buzzer go and the two women talked about police arriving, Mr Chawla said. Ms Life made notes of the conversation that said the defendant admitted killing Kobi, according to the prosecutor. At 11pm, after the call ended, Macharia texted Ms Sasheva saying 'you bitch' and at 11.01pm messaged Mr Dooly to say 'I hate iger both (sic)', jurors heard. Officers broke through the door and the prosecutor said: 'While the police were entering and coming up the stairs we can see the message that Ms Macharia sent by text to Ms Sasheva. 'As they're coming up the stairs there is another message, this time to Mr Dooly, you can tell it's typed in haste – 'I hate iger both', she clearly meant 'you both'.' Jurors were shown footage of Macharia in blood-stained clothes sitting on the living room floor in front of the sofa. As officers entered, she moved to a kneeling position and during her arrest, a knife could be seen behind her. Police were heard asking 'who did this?' and Mr Chawla said 'she raises her hand to her chest, acknowledging it was her'. Officers documented her saying she tried to take an overdose and harm herself, the prosecutor added. Kobi was found in the bedroom, in his cot next to a double bed. He was pronounced dead at 12.06am on December 21. Macharia was taken to Stoke Newington Police station and had 'a very blunted muted affect' and intermittently sobbed, Mr Chawla said. 'She told officers repeatedly she just wanted her baby back, and she just wanted to see his sweet face', he added. The only injuries that Macharia sustained were bruises consistent with her being arrested and placed in handcuffs, the prosecutor said. The case continues.
