PhilHealth members can get P20K worth of medicines yearly under GAMOT program
PhilHealth members can soon receive up to P20,000 worth of outpatient medicines annually under its Guaranteed and Accessible Medications for Outpatient Treatment (PhilHealth GAMOT) starting August 21, 2025. In an interview on 'Unang Balita' on Monday, Rey Baleña, PhilHealth acting vice president for corporate affairs group, said all Philhealth members may access the program through the eGovPH app or local PhilHealth offices. Beneficiaries will choose a Yaman ng Kalusugan Program para Malayo sa Sakit (YAKAP) clinic where they will get a prescription for the medicine before presenting to the following GAMOT facilities: Vidacure with branches in Muntinlupa City and Quezon City Pharma Gen Ventures Corp (Generika Drugstore) with branches in Parañaque City, Navotas City, Quezon City and Taguig City CGD Medical Depot Inc. at Vertis North Chinese General Hospital 'Dapat irereseta 'yun dahil mahalaga titingnan tayo ng doktor at malalaman kung hinihingi o kelangan ng kondisyon ng pasyente na siya'y ma-resetahan ng gamot,' Baleña said. (The medicine must be prescribed by because it's important for a doctor to assess the patient and determine if their condition requires medication.) He added that accreditation of drugstores is ongoing. The GAMOT program includes 75 types of free medicines with an annual benefit limit of Php 20,000 per beneficiary. PhilHealth had said the program was launched in 2023 and has been extended since it was only implemented previously in certain provinces. — Mariel Celine Serquiña/RF, GMA Integrated News

From space on Earth to the Earth: Indian astronauts finish 10-day Mars simulation in Ladakh
Photo: Chethan Kumar @X Space missions help us explore the unknown, pushing the limits of human knowledge and technology. They prepare astronauts for the challenges of living and working beyond Earth, paving the way for exciting journeys to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Each mission brings us closer to new heights, but what if these missions are simulated on the Earth itself? Two Indian astronauts complete 10-day Mars analog mission in Ladakh Two Indian astronauts, Rahul Mogalapalli and Yaman Akot, recently completed a 10-day analog mission inside the Hope habitat located in the rugged Tso Kar region of Ladakh, about 150 km from Leh. The mission simulated the extreme conditions and routines astronauts would face during lunar and Martian exploration, providing a realistic and challenging training environment. Speaking to IndiaToday, Rahul described the experience as 'a real learning curve.' He explained, 'We had to ration food, water, and even internet bandwidth. Maintaining communication and staying disciplined was tough, but if given a chance, I'd do it again.' Both Rahul and Yaman also talked about the psychological challenges posed by extended isolation, emphasising the importance of such missions for India's future space exploration plans. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Benefits of Trading Bitcoin CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo What is the Hope mission? The Hope mission, officially known as the Himalayan Outpost for Planetary Exploration (HOPE), is India's first try at recreating what living in space might be like, right here on Earth. Created by Bengaluru-based Protoplanet in collaboration with ISRO 's Human Space Flight Centre (HSFC), it uses two habitat modules named Phobos and Deimos, after Mars' moons, to copy the conditions astronauts would face on long space trips. Located in Ladakh's harsh terrain, where temperatures swing significantly from 35°C to -25°C, the site gives conditions closely resembling those on Mars. The extreme weather and altitude make it an ideal location for testing the effects of isolation and limited resources. Why is this mission important? The data gathered during this mission is crucial for ISRO's upcoming Gaganyaan mission , which aims to send Indian astronauts into space by 2027 and eventually to the Moon by 2040. Rahul and Yaman conducted several biomedical experiments, including collecting urine, breath, and blood samples. These will be analyzed by ISRO scientists to understand the physiological, genetic, and psychological impacts of isolation and the harsh environment. According to India Today, Dr. Siddharth Pandey, founder and director of Protoplanet, highlighted the mission's value not just for the astronauts but also for the entire team involved in preparing India's space future. He shared plans to expand the habitat to accommodate up to six analog astronauts and hopes that future Gaganyaan astronauts will take part in such simulations. According to the information from protoplanet and ISRO's Human Space Flight Centre, following this successful mission, the Phobos and Deimos, simulator modules will function as automated weather stations, gathering data for upcoming missions. Protoplanet is already preparing for the next simulation, expected in April 2026. By successfully completing this analog mission, India takes a giant leap forward in preparing its astronauts for the challenges of space travel beyond Earth. The HOPE mission serves as a vital rehearsal, bringing the country closer to realizing its dream of establishing a human presence on the Moon and, eventually, Mars.

Divine delays: How seven lives dodged the Air India disaster

GAİN removes El Turco after Can Yaman declares preference for Italy over Turkey
ALBAWABA - Can Yaman's latest remarks stir backlash as GAIN pulls El Turco from its platform. Following Can Yaman's declaration that he favored Italy over Turkey, GAiN made the decision to remove the series "El Turco" from distribution on the platform. A startling decision was made by GAİN, one of the biggest digital broadcasting platforms in Turkey, regarding the series "El Turco," starring the well-known actor Can Yaman. This decision has brought GAİN to the forefront of the discussion. When Yaman stated in an interview that he preferred Italy over Turkey, he received a lot of positive feedback. That is because Yaman has been continuing his profession in Italy for a considerable amount of time. A surprising action was taken by GAiN, despite the fact that this statement created a widespread reaction on social networking websites. canyaman Instagram profile It was declared by GAiN that the series "El Turco" was taken from the platform, taking into consideration the responses and social sensitivities that were expressed by the general population. The following words were included in the statement that was released by the company: "We would like to emphasize the importance that we attach to the sensitivities of the Turkish nation." Some of the terms that Can Yaman, the lead actor of our series El Turco, used in an interview that he did overseas in the past few days have produced a variety of interpretations among the general public and have brought about a number of different sensitivities. We, as GAİN, would want to highlight that we address this matter in an open manner and that we always respect the principles that were established by our society. While the response that Can Yaman gave to the phrase "Italy" caused social media users to be split, the decision that GAİN made also created a fresh controversy in the field of digital publication. For the time being, the future of the El Turco series is still unknown; nonetheless, all eyes are currently focused on the latest words made by the well-known actor.
