PANSININ AT SUNDIN: MGA BAGONG BATAS SA PILIPINAS
ALAM MO NA BA ITO?
Out of 40 national laws to have passed through the 16th congress, 36 lapsed into law from July 17 to 22 after former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III and President Rodrigo Duterte neither signed nor vetoed the bills.
Here are new, interesting laws that stood out:
1. Stricter Anti-Carnapping Law
Republic Act 10883 or “An act providing for a new anti-carnapping law of the Philippines” now considers carnapping a non-bailable offense and will require Land Transportation Office to keep a record of all cars and owners.
The new law increased the imprisonment time from a maximum of 17 years and four months, to around 20 to 30 years in jail.
If the person resorted to violence, their sentence would be extended from 30 years and one day up to 40 years. If the victim is raped or killed, the carnapper would be given a life sentence in prison.
Any person involved in the concealment of the crime will be imprisoned from six to 12 years and fined with the cost of the car or any part involved in the crime.
2. Mandatory subtitles
Republic Act 10905 or “An act requiring all franchise holders or operators of television stations and producers of television programs to broadcast or present their programs with closed captions option, and for other purposes” requires TV stations to provide subtitles for the deaf community.
However, it exempts franchise holders or TV station operators and program producers who release public service announcements under 10 minutes or if providing text caption would prove to be economically burdensome. It also exempts programs aired between 1 am to 6 am, or are already textual in nature.
Those who fail to follow will either be fined with at least P50,000 but not more than P100,000 or be imprisoned for at least six to twelve months, or both. License or permit to operate may also be revoked.
3. Keeping Filipinas from becoming mail order brides
Republic Act 10906 or “An act providing stronger measures against unlawful practices, businesses, and schemes of matching and offering Filipinos to foreign nationals for purposes of marriage or common law partnership, repealing for the purpose republic act no. 6955, also referred to as the ‘anti-mail order bride law’” penalizes any person who has in any way engaged in business to exploit Filipinas to offer to foreigners for marriage.
If found guilty, they will be penalized with 15 years of imprisonment and be fined with at least P500,000 thousand pesos but not more than P1-million.
Anyone who has cooperated in the illegal act will also suffer the same penalty. However, those who operate in more than two people will be penalized with 20 years of imprisonment and a fine of at least P2-million but not more than P5-million.
Any person who has served as an accessory to the crime will be imprisoned for 10 years and a fine of at least P100,000 but not more than P500,000.
Meanwhile, foreign offenders will be deported to their home country and if the offender is under the employment of an establishment, then the person in-charge who participated in the act will be facing penalties.
n turn, proceeds and penalties will be seized by the government. Victims will also receive assistance from the respective government agencies and commissions.
4. No more candies or inexact change
Once Republic Act 10909 or “An act prohibiting business establishments from giving insufficient or no change to consumers and providing penalties therefore” takes effect, you can now sue the establishment for not giving you your due change.
Establishments are also required to stick price tags with the exact price the consumer has to pay.
Failure to comply will result to a fine of whichever is higher in amount: P500 or 3% of gross sales for first offense, P5,000 or 5% of gross sales for second offense, and P15,000 or 7% or gross sales and a three-month suspension of operations.
The last offense will result to a fine of P25,000 and total closure of the establishment.
5. Longer prescription for crimes of graft and corruption
Republic Act 10910 or “An act increasing the prescriptive period for violations of Republic Act no. 3019, otherwise known as the ‘anti-graft and corrupt practices act’ from fifteen (15) years to twenty years, amending section 11 thereof” amended the prescription of offenses, also known as the statute of limitations, from 15 to 20 years.
This means it’s still possible to carry out judgment on individuals guilty of graft and corruption within 20 years.
6. Anti-age discrimination for employees
Republic Act 10911 or “An act prohibiting discrimination against any individual in employment on account of age and providing penalties therefore” prohibits employers from withholding promotion or deny training opportunities, compensation and privileges from employees on the basis of age.
Recruitment and employment agencies are also prohibited from refusing to help individuals regardless of age from seeking employment and labor organizations are prohibited to refuse employees of membership because of their age.
Violators will be fined at least P50,00 but not more than P500,000 and/or be imprisoned between three months to two years.
However, this law will only be effective on August 16.
7. No more texting while driving
Republic Act 10913 or “An act defining and penalizing distracted driving” will mean that any person who is using their phones in non-emergency cases and/or needs it for work will be penalized with a fine of P5,000 for first offense, P10,000 for second offense, and P15,000 and suspension of license for three months for the third offense.
The law added that the fine may be increased, along with ultimately suspending the driver’s license if properly disseminated to the public.
Meanwhile, those who are driving public utility vehicles, school buses, or carriers with flammable or toxic material within a 50 meter radius from school premises will be fined with P30,000 and have their licenses suspended for three months.
8.) Mandatory speed limiters
Republic Act 10916 or “An act requiring the mandatory installation of speed limiter in public utility and certain types of vehicles” will require all covered public transportation vehicles to have a speed limiter.
Vehicles without speed limiters before the passage of the law will have to comply within 18 months after it takes effect.
The absence of a speed limiter will not be allowed for registration or be given a franchise permit, and the owners or operators for the vehicle will be fined with P50,000.
Meanwhile, the driver’s license will be suspended for one month and the franchise permit for three months for the first offense.
Sanctions for succeeding offenses will be license suspension for three months and franchise suspension for six months on top of imposed fines at the second offense; and revocation of license and franchise suspension for at least a year, and an imposed fine for the third offense.
Offenders caught tampering with speed limiters will be imprisoned for six to 36 months and fined with P30,000.

The Health Benefits of Loquat Leaf
What is Loquat Leaf?
Loquat leaves originate in the southeastern part of China and perhaps southern Japan, although some believe it was brought to Japan long ago by Chinese travelers. Loquat fruit is consumed by various cultures for culinary and healing purposes. The fruit resembles a cross between a mango and a peach in both taste and appearance. The leaves and fruit have high concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. http://go.ad2up.com/afu.php?id=853116 The fruit is sometimes used as a sedative and is thought to reduce vomiting and excessive thirst. Leaves may possibly relieve diarrhea, support a healthy mood, counteract intoxication, and may also reduce swelling. Some of these benefits are cited by Eastern tradition, but many of the traditional benefits have scientific backing.
Health Benefits of Organic Loquat Leaf
Loquat leaf has been scientifically shown to possess incredible health benefits. Below are some the most common uses for this natural herb.
Loquat Leaf Supports Mucous Membranes
In our Detox Foot Pads, organic loquat leaf extract may support the body’s natural detoxification process by acting as a mucolytic agent. This may help dissolve thick mucus that holds onto toxic compounds.
Loquat Leaf Releases Antioxidants
We now know that loquat leaf helps the body release antioxidants, the incredible health-supporting compounds that your body naturally produces. [1] Antioxidants have all kinds of benefits, but they’re known mostly for their ability to neutralize harmful toxins. They are commonly used to protect the body against various diseases, support immunity, and possibly increase life expectancy.
Loquat Leaf Combats Diabetes
Out of all of its benefits, one of organic loquat’s most impressive ability is that it may help combat diabetes. Loquat leaf produces a variety of chemicals called triterpenes. One of the most important acids in this class of chemicals is tormentic acid. Tormentic acid has been shown to increase insulin production. which may help reduce the symptoms related to diabetes. [2] It has been approved by the Chinese government as a blood-sugar supporter because it produces a set of natural bodily chemicals known as polysaccharides, compounds that have also been shown to increase insulin production. [3]
Loquat Leaf Supports the Pancreas
Diabetes is a debilitating, degenerative disease. The administering of insulin helps, but anything that can assist the pancreas is of primary importance. The only way to approach type II diabetes is to either give the body insulin injections or to help the pancreas produce insulin by regenerating its cells. We have strong evidence that organic loquat leaf supports pancreatic cells, which increases the production of insulin.
Loquat Leaf and Skin Redness
One of loquat leaf’s oldest reported benefits is the reduction of skin redness. When loquat leaf is used in topical cream, it can combat edema and histamine-induced skin contraction. In short, loquat may help soothe the skin and provide balance for skin health. [4] Skin inflammation can often be painful and the soothing effect of loquat leaf can be very beneficial.
Loquat Leaf and Skin Cancer
Another benefit of loquat leaf that’s getting much exploration is its role in skin cancer. One of the major drugs that is used to combat the side effects of chemotherapy is adriamycin, and loquat leaf is thought to help reduce the side effects associated with this drug.
Loquat Leaf and Viruses
Standard viruses are subject to the power of the loquat leaf. Evidence suggests that the loquat leaf produces a variety of acids that have an antiviral effect. These acids produce antigens, which are antiviral agents. Two of these chemicals are called megastigmane glycosides and polyphenolic constituents, both of which are known to produce viral antigens. Furthermore, the triterpene chemicals may help reduce rhinovirus, or the common cold. [5]
Loquat Leaf Assists the Liver in Detoxifying Chemicals
The pancreas isn’t the only bodily organ that organic loquat leaf helps. It also helps the liver. Loquat leaf contains a substance known as Amygdalin (B-17), and this substance is known to help combat liver disorders as well as supporting the liver’s ability to process and eliminate poisons in the body. [6] It is somewhat controversial as to how effective amygdalin is in the support of liver problems, but many believe that the controversy is due largely to excessively Western modes of thinking about health. Amygdalin, incidentally, is thought to have its benefits through antioxidation effects.
Why Loquat Leaf is Included in our Detox Foot Pads
Organic loquat leaf has many benefits, as you can tell from the above extensive (but not exhaustive) list. When packed into our Detox Foot Pads, loquat leaf may aid your body in the elimination of toxic chemicals and organisms while producing health-giving benefits.

Loquat leaves originate in the southeastern part of China and perhaps southern Japan, although some believe it was brought to Japan long ago by Chinese travelers. Loquat fruit is consumed by various cultures for culinary and healing purposes. The fruit resembles a cross between a mango and a peach in both taste and appearance. The leaves and fruit have high concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. The fruit is sometimes used as a sedative and is thought to reduce vomiting and excessive thirst. Leaves may possibly relieve diarrhea, support a healthy mood, counteract intoxication, and may also reduce swelling. Some of these benefits are cited by Eastern tradition, but many of the traditional benefits have scientific backing.
Health Benefits of Organic Loquat Leaf
Loquat leaf has been scientifically shown to possess incredible health benefits. Below are some the most common uses for this natural herb.
Loquat Leaf Supports Mucous Membranes
In our Detox Foot Pads, organic loquat leaf extract may support the body’s natural detoxification process by acting as a mucolytic agent. This may help dissolve thick mucus that holds onto toxic compounds.
Loquat Leaf Releases Antioxidants
We now know that loquat leaf helps the body release antioxidants, the incredible health-supporting compounds that your body naturally produces. [1] Antioxidants have all kinds of benefits, but they’re known mostly for their ability to neutralize harmful toxins. They are commonly used to protect the body against various diseases, support immunity, and possibly increase life expectancy.
Loquat Leaf Combats Diabetes
Out of all of its benefits, one of organic loquat’s most impressive ability is that it may help combat diabetes. Loquat leaf produces a variety of chemicals called triterpenes. One of the most important acids in this class of chemicals is tormentic acid. Tormentic acid has been shown to increase insulin production. which may help reduce the symptoms related to diabetes. [2] It has been approved by the Chinese government as a blood-sugar supporter because it produces a set of natural bodily chemicals known as polysaccharides, compounds that have also been shown to increase insulin production. [3]
Loquat Leaf Supports the Pancreas
Diabetes is a debilitating, degenerative disease. The administering of insulin helps, but anything that can assist the pancreas is of primary importance. The only way to approach type II diabetes is to either give the body insulin injections or to help the pancreas produce insulin by regenerating its cells. We have strong evidence that organic loquat leaf supports pancreatic cells, which increases the production of insulin.
Loquat Leaf and Skin Redness
One of loquat leaf’s oldest reported benefits is the reduction of skin redness. When loquat leaf is used in topical cream, it can combat edema and histamine-induced skin contraction. In short, loquat may help soothe the skin and provide balance for skin health. [4] Skin inflammation can often be painful and the soothing effect of loquat leaf can be very beneficial.
Loquat Leaf and Skin Cancer
Another benefit of loquat leaf that’s getting much exploration is its role in skin cancer. One of the major drugs that is used to combat the side effects of chemotherapy is adriamycin, and loquat leaf is thought to help reduce the side effects associated with this drug.
Loquat Leaf and Viruses
Standard viruses are subject to the power of the loquat leaf. Evidence suggests that the loquat leaf produces a variety of acids that have an antiviral effect. These acids produce antigens, which are antiviral agents. Two of these chemicals are called megastigmane glycosides and polyphenolic constituents, both of which are known to produce viral antigens. Furthermore, the triterpene chemicals may help reduce rhinovirus, or the common cold. [5]
Loquat Leaf Assists the Liver in Detoxifying Chemicals
The pancreas isn’t the only bodily organ that organic loquat leaf helps. It also helps the liver. Loquat leaf contains a substance known as Amygdalin (B-17), and this substance is known to help combat liver disorders as well as supporting the liver’s ability to process and eliminate poisons in the body. [6] It is somewhat controversial as to how effective amygdalin is in the support of liver problems, but many believe that the controversy is due largely to excessively Western modes of thinking about health. Amygdalin, incidentally, is thought to have its benefits through antioxidation effects.
Why Loquat Leaf is Included in our Detox Foot Pads
Organic loquat leaf has many benefits, as you can tell from the above extensive (but not exhaustive) list. When packed into our Detox Foot Pads, loquat leaf may aid your body in the elimination of toxic chemicals and organisms while producing health-giving benefits.
