DEFENSOR TO BUILD A HOSPITAL IN QC’S 2ND DISTRICT
Quezon City mayoralty aspirant Mike T. Defensor is proposing the construction of a hospital in the city’s Second District to ensure the delivery of quality health care and to address the health needs of the residents of the district.
Defensor said the construction of a hospital in the city’s largest district is feasible considering the local government has the funds for its construction.
“The lack of money for deposits should not be a hindrance for residents of the Second District once this hospital is built. If we have to call on the concerned national government agencies to ensure that this hospital will be properly equipped with state of the art facilities and equipment to address the health concerns of our citizens, then we will do so,” declared Defensor.
Health reform is one of Defensor’s agenda and ranks high in his priority list as underlined by the programs and projects he had laid out for the benefit of QC residents. These priorities include the quick delivery of medical services such as surgeries, sufficient supply of medicines, adequate equipment and the availability of highly qualified health and medical professionals to serve the urban poor.
“It is my desire to strengthen the delivery of health and medical services for our constituents. Take, for instance, the case of our Barangay Security and Development Office (BSDO) personnel. If they are harmed or injured while responding to the call of duty, they need to be taken cared of immediately. They shouldn’t be made to beg for medical attention,” added Defensor.
In a dialogue with residents of the Second District, Defensor promised to push for a ‘universal health care’ for QC residents.
Under this program, all indigent families will have the opportunity to become members of the National Health Insurance Program or Philhealth, while all families with Philhealth coverage will be provided with the QC Health Card.
Defensor also promised to work with the private sector for the procurement of cheap medicines for infections, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer and to provide affordable laboratory and diagnostic services which include blood tests, x-ray and ultra-sound services.

Mike has always been dear to us since we were kids. He’s a good friend who came running when we needed him. Mike was the go-to guy even before he became Cong. Mike, and then Sec. Defensor. Many of us knew he was destined for public service. Mike was the consummate politician, a trait he developed since grade school. We thought he would go on to become president, if he didn’t disappoint the fickle Filipino public.But it seems he has. So much so that he is vilified by the media at every opportunity. His actions are always placed within the perspective of his relationship with an unpopular president. Justifiable, though harsh.
So we set up this blog. Some of us have worked with him and have seen him make what we thought were good decisions. But some of us were also there when we thought he made wrong ones. But that is how a man is made -- by the choices he makes.As his friends, the best we can do is stand by him and try to help everyone else see things from a different light.
On the campaign trail, the mayor running for re-election walks up to a house of his campaign adviser and rings the doorbell. When a small boy opens the door, the mayor introduces himself, “Hello there, little boy! What’s your name?”
“Little Johnny,” replies the small boy.
“Well, Little Johnny, I’m Mayor Hoffman. I’m running for re-election. Can I speak to your father?”
“He’s in the shower right now,” answers Little Johnny with a giggle.
“Oh! Well, is your mother in the house too?” asks Mayor Hoffman.
“Yes, she is. But she’s in the shower with my daddy,” replies Little Johnny with a snicker.
“Oh I see,” says Mayor Hoffman who pauses a moment thinking of what to say next. Then he smiles and says, “Little Johnny, can you go see if they are through now? I would like to speak to either one of them. It’s important.”
“I don’t think so,” replies Little Johnny with a big laugh.
Surprised to see the boy laughing heartily, the perplexed mayor demands, “What’s so funny, son? Is there something wrong with your parents?”
“Well, when my daddy asked for the Vaseline while they’re in the shower, I handed him the Super Glue.”
