Inihayag ng Philippine Veterans Investment Development Corporation (Phividec) ang pagkakaroon ng iregularidad kaugnay ng x-ray machine na pinamamahalaan ng Golden Sun Cargo Examination Corporation, isang kumpanyang pag-aari ni Tony Yang, nakatatandang kapatid ng dating economic adviser na si Michael Yang, na nauugnay din sa Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO).

Ayon kay Phividec Legal Counsel, Atty. Benjamin Medrano Cana, ang x-ray machine ay nakalagay sa labas ng designated examination area ng Mindanao Container Terminal, isang paglabag sa tamang proseso ng customs.

“There was a clamor to have the x-ray machine brought back inside the port. We’re going to investigate that matter if it can be revived,” ani Cana.

“We’re going to let our board decide on that and we’ll review the contracts. Let’s see it,” dagdag nito.

WALANG HUMPAY ang pag-agapay ng batikang lingkod-bayan na si Senador Ramon B**g Revilla, Jr. sa mga kababayan niya sa Mindanao matapos muling magtungo ang mambabatas sa nasabing lugar nitong nakaraang Huwebes (Oktubre 9) upang manguna ulit sa pamamahagi ng cash assistance sa libo-libong benepisyaryo. Dumako si Revilla sa mga lalawigan ng Lanao del Sur, Misamis Oriental, at Bukidnon.

Ito na ang kanyang pangatlong pagdalaw sa Mindanao sa loob lamang ng lagpas isang linggo. Matatandaang noong Setyembre 30 ay nagtungo na ang mambabatas sa mga lalawigan ng Maguindanao del Norte, Maguindanao del Sur, at Sultan Kudarat kung saan pinangunahan rin niya ang pamamahagi ng financial assistance sa halos 10,000 na mga benepisyaryo. At nito lamang Oktubre 3 ay nagtungo naman siya sa Davao Region upang mag-abot ng kaparehong ayuda sa lagpas 6,000 na mga kababayan.

Pagkalapag ni Revilla sa Laguindingan airport ay agad siyang nagtungo sa Wao, Lanao del Sur kung saan namahagi siya ng ayuda sa halos 2,000 na mga benepisyaro sa pamamagitan ng Assistance to Individual in Crisis Situations (AICS) ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). Kasama ni Revilla sa naging cash assistance distribution sina Lanao del Sur Gov. Mamintal Adiong Jr. at Cong. Zia Adiong.

Matapos nito ay agaran naman tumawid si Revilla sa lalawigan ng Misamis Oriental kung saan siya ay sinalubong nina Gov. Peter Unabia at Cong. Christian Unabia para ipagpatuloy ang pagbibigay ng ayuda sa kanilang mga kababayan. Halos 1,600 rin ang nabiyayaan ng ayuda na nagkakahalaga ng tig-P3,000.

Bandang hapon naman ay pumunta si Revilla sa Bukidnon, kung saan nakasama niya si Gov. Rogelio Roque at Cong. Laarni Roque, upang muling mamigay ng ayuda sa mga kanyang kababayan doon na may kabuuang halaga na P4 milyon para sa nasabing lalawigan.

“Dire-diretso lang tayo sa pagtulong dito sa ating mga kababayan sa Mindanao at talagang sobrang lapit sa puso ko ang lugar na ito. Kaya asahan niyo po na hindi dito matatapos ang ating paghahatid ng tulong at malasakit sa ating mga kababayan,” pahayag ni Revilla.

“Gaya nga ng lagi kong sinasabi, binibigay lang po natin sa ating mga kababayan ang mga dapat naman talaga nilang natatanggap mula sa gobyerno. Nawa ay makatulong ito sa kanilang mga pangaraw-araw na pangangailangan hanggang sa tuluyang umunlad ang kanilang mga buhay,” pagwawakas niya.

Veteran lawmaker Senator Ramon B**g Revilla, Jr.'s candidacy for the coming 2025 midterm elections is SURE after he submitted a Certificate of Candidacy (COC) today Monday (October 7) at Manila Hotel with his whole family and his son lawyer Inah Revilla.
B**g Revilla will once again run under Lakas–Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD), the currently strongest and largest party in the country where he is Chairman. Revilla has been with FORCE -CMD since he first plunged into politics three decades ago.
“Today, we formally filed our candidacy for senatorship in the upcoming 2025 election. Your servant, Senator B**g Revilla, who for three terms as a legislator in the Senate has been entrusted by the people, will fight again and will stand up to continue to be the advocate of the welfare of every ordinary Filipino," the veteran legislator said.
Revilla is part of the Alliance Para sa New Philippines Senate Slate of President Ferdinnd Bngong Marcos Jr. which consists of 12 senatorial candidates from various major political parties in the country including the Lakas-CMD.
“I am grateful to our President B**gbong Marcos and to Lakas-CMD President Speaker Martin Romualdez for the trust they have given me to be one of the candidates that the Alliance for the New Philippines will fight for. It’s an honor to run under this slate whose great aspiration is to stand up for the welfare, interests, and rights of every Filipino,” Revilla added.
Revilla who has served three terms in the Senate (2004-2010; 2010-2016; 2019-present) is the instrument in passing many landmark laws that directly benefit many Filipinos up to the present. This includes the “Teaching Opposition Act” (RA 11997), Expanded Coverage of Centenarians Act (RA 11982), “No Permit, No Exam Prohibition Act” (RA11984), “Free College Entrance Examinations Act” (RA 12006), Granting Night Shift Differential Pay to Government Employees (RA 11701), and “Permanent Validity of the Certificates of Live Birth, Death, and Marriage Act” (RA 11909). He also authored the law to legalize children born out of the integration of legal spouses and the motorcycle helmet act, and so many others.
Revilla also recorded perfect attendance in the Senate and submitted a total of 1,979 bills and resolutions, of which 339 exist legally.
“In our almost two decades of service as senators, we have passed a lot of laws that really benefit our countrymen. We did not waste the trust of the Filipino people. I made sure that every cent that was paid to me with the tax of the people, we were able to return to them by advancing and fighting for the passage of meaningful laws,” Revilla concluded.
Revilla when asked about his plans for his fourth term in the Senate, he said it would continue to advance social justice, workers welfare, food security, public infrastructure, and additional benefits for government employees.
"I am happy to say that because of the people's trust, I was able to deliver my pact with the people. Today, I am once again offering my skills to our countrymen to continue serving them,” Revilla said.
"While we have accomplished so much, work never ceases and there is still much to be done. Such as responding to increased grocery prices, delivery of food per table, programs for farmers and fishermen, providing flood solutions, developing a new Philippine Building Code, adjusting the retirement system in the judiciary, additional benefits for barangay workers, nurses, teachers, and others pa. Those are our promotions if we are again given a chance to serve for our fourth term,” Revilla explained.
The upcoming midterm elections are set for May 12, 2025 with 12 senators to be elected.

Nanawagan si Senador Ramon B**g Revilla, Jr. sa kanyang mga kapwa mambabatas na suportahan ang agarang pagpasa ng Senate Bill No. 2838, o kilala rin bilang Magna Carta of Barangay Health Workers (BHW), bilang pagkilala sa mahalagang tungkulin ng mga BHW sa mga komunidad.

Sa kanyang talumpating co-sponsorship, binigyang-diin ni Revilla na nararapat lamang na hindi lamang kilalanin ang kontribusyon ng mga BHW, kundi itaguyod din ang kanilang karapatan sa tamang sahod at mga benepisyong naaayon sa kanilang tapat na paglilingkod sa bansa.

Aniya, oras na upang ibigay ang mga nararapat para sa mga BHW na matagal nang nagbibigay-serbisyo sa mga barangay bilang pangunahing tagapagtaguyod ng kalusugan.

“I urge our colleagues to support the immediate passage of this measure. Karangalan po nating maging tulay upang matamasa ang adhikain nila para sa kanilang hanay sa lalong madaling panahon. Nawa tayo’y maging kanilang katuwang,” ani ni Revilla.

Kapag naipasa ang Senate Bill No. 2838, inaasahang magdudulot ito ng malaking pagbabago sa kalagayan ng libu-libong Barangay Health Workers sa buong bansa, at titiyak na matatanggap nila ang mga karampatang benepisyo na matagal na nilang hinihintay.

Suportado ng mga kasamahan sa partido at ng kanyang mga tagasuporta, inaasahang magiging isa sa mga pangunahing kandidato si Revilla sa darating na halalan.

Sa kabila ng mga isyung kinaharap sa nakaraan, nananatiling matatag ang tiwala ng partido sa kanyang kakayahan at hangaring ipagpatuloy ang paglilingkod sa Senado.
