Lax security at entrance to Robinsons Otis on May 9, 2011.
The guard at a street level entrance to said building: didn't inspect the boots I was
wearing/didn't use a metal detector to scan said boots/didn't use a bomb sniffing animal
to smell said boots. Said boots are large enough to contain a firearm.

After entering said Robinsons Otis, I entered the Robinsons supermarket. While I was at said supermarket, there was no prominent display of posters, stickers, and
other notices that will generate public awareness of the rights and privileges of senior
citizens. Article 11 of Republic Act No. 9257 . . . reads as follows: It is the responsibility of the municipality/city through the Mayor to require all establishments covered by the Act to prominently display posters, stickers, and
other notices that will generate public awareness of the rights and privileges of senior
citizens and to ensure that the provisions of the Act are implemeted to its fullest.”
Based on said Rule IX, Article 11 of said Act, it is the responsibility of Manila Mayor Lim to require all establishments in Manila covered by the Act to prominently display posters, stickers, and other notices that will generate public awareness of the rights and privileges of senior citizens. Said supermarket is covered by said law. However, while I was at said supermarket, there was no prominent display of said posters, stickers, etc. I believe the management of said store violated said law.





I have sales invoice issued on May 6, 2011 issued by said store.

Evidence vs. establishment identified as Eeboy 'G' Foods Corp. Jollibee Paco. I have what was identified as an official receipt dated 2011-05-10 issued by said store. Said receipt bears the numbers: "118124" but does not bear the name of the customer. According to the person I sent to buy food from said store, the management refused to
give senior citizen discount despite the fact that I sent my valid Senior Citizens I.D.
I believe the management of said store violated the Senior Citizens Act of 2010.





DOH LAUNCHES “EHERSISYO PANGKALUSUGAN PARA SA LAHAT 2011”
Press Release/6 May 2011

Exercise is for everyone. All ages from all walks of life can and must engage in regular physical activity.

The Department of Health (DOH) spearheads a fitness event featuring different sports activities, dubbed “Ehersisyo
Pangkalusugan Para sa Lahat 2011”, to encourage everyone to exercise. The event will be held on May 15 this year at the
Quezon City Memorial Circle (QCMC) from 5:30am to 10:00am. President Benigno S. Aquino III will lead the activity.

The WHO said that “current levels of physical inactivity are partly due to insufficient participation in physical activity
during leisure time and an increase in sedentary behavior during occupational and domestic activities. Likewise, an
increase in the use of "passive" modes of transport has also been associated with declining physical activity levels.”

Fraudulent Products: Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/BuyingUsingMedicineSafely/MedicationHealth

FDA and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) jointly launched the "Fraudulent STD Products Initiative," which targets over-the-counter products bought online or in retail stores that make unproven claims to prevent, cure, and/or treat sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). These products have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety and effectiveness.
These illegal products may pose significant public health risk since individuals could be inaccurately treated, leading to delays in getting medical help and increasing the possibility of spreading disease to a sexual partner. Consumers and
health professionals should be warned there are no over-the-counter or online drugs or dietary supplements available to treat or prevent STDs. Appropriate diagnosis and/or treatment of STDs can only occur under the supervision of a healthcare
professional.

FDA, FTC act to remove fraudulent STD products from the market

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) today announced a joint effort to remove products from the market that make unproven claims to treat, cure, and prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Among
products from the market that make unproven claims to treat, cure, and prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Among the products targeted in today’s action are Medavir, Herpaflor, Viruxo, C-Cure, and Never An Outbreak.

The agencies issued multiple letters to companies warning that their products violate federal law. These products, sold online and in retail outlets, have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety and effectiveness. The joint action is the first step in keeping these unproven items from being sold to the public and preventing consumers from being misled.

The companies that received the warning letters claim that their products treat a range of STDs, including herpes,
chlamydia, genital warts, HIV, and AIDS. While some of the companies market these products as dietary supplements, these
products are all drug products under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), as they are offered for the
treatment of disease. These drug products, which are offered for the treatment of STDs, may not be introduced into
interstate commerce without an FDA-approved new drug application (NDA).

“These products are dangerous because they are targeted to patients with serious conditions, where treatment options
proven to be safe and effective are available,” said Deborah M. Autor, director of the Office of Compliance in FDA’s
Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Consumers who buy these products may not seek the medical attention they need and could spread infections to sexual partners.”

Further, under the Federal Trade Commission Act it is illegal to make such unsubstantiated treatment claims.

“These companies are on notice that advertising health benefits that are not supported by rigorous scientific evidence violates the FTC Act,” said David Vladeck, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “They also should know that health scams that endanger public health will not be tolerated.”

Consumers should be aware that there are no over-the-counter or online drugs or dietary supplements available to treat or prevent STDs. Appropriate treatment of STDs can only occur under the supervision of a health care professional. There are many FDA-approved medications available for treating these conditions, but they do require a prescription.

“Our Warning Letters give these firms time to voluntarily comply with the law,” said Dara Corrigan, the FDA’s associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. “The FDA will continue to take aggressive enforcement action against firms that market false treatments or cures that may lead to significant public health consequences.”

The Warning Letters inform the companies that they have 15 days to notify the FDA of the steps they have taken to correct the violations cited. Failure to do so may result in legal action, including seizure and injunction, or criminal prosecution.
Consumers and health care professionals should notify the FDA to file a complaint or report a problem with these products. Reports may be made to MedWatch, the FDA's voluntary reporting program, by calling 800-FDA-1088, or electronically at www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm .
