SAGIP Party-list Representative Rodante Marcoleta and Anakalusugan Party-list Rep. Mike Defensor announced in a joint statement that they will be putting up their own community pantry, but to give out free doses of ivermectin.
“After the inquiries conducted by two committees of the House of Representatives (Health and Good Government and Public Accountability) where both foreign and local experts were engaged on the potential use of Ivermectin, we have decisively come to a critical decision to distribute Ivermectin to those who are in dire need of this drug,” Marcoleta and Defensor disclosed.
The two House members said this combines “both the sense of urgency and our inherent trait of community sharing” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
