Angara wants school supplies guarded from toxic chemicals

About the Philippines, Pampanga, Clark, and Angeles City

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO–Team Pnoy senatorial candidate Edgardo “Sonny” Angara yesterday called on the Department of Health-Food and Drugs Administration (DOH-FDA) to create a task force that will check for toxic chemicals in low-priced school supplies being sold in Manila’s retail stores.

“The BFAD should start checking this early the levels of toxic chemicals in children’s school supplies as parents prepare for the enrolment of their kids this June.”

He pointed out that many low-income families go to Tutuban, 168 and 999 Malls and other retail stores in Divisoria in Manila where supplies and goods are sold cheap.

However, many of these discounted school supplies like pencils, colors, pencil cases, lunch boxes, backpacks and raincoats were not subjected to strict chemical tests during production, Angara stressed.

“Since the salary of many families are not even enough to meet their daily needs, parents look for bargain products in buying their children’s school requirements. Health authorities should check whether or not these supplies are imbued with toxic chemicals,” he said.

The lawmaker from Aurora further said: “Our health authorities should ensure that while supplies are sold within or even cheaper than the suggested retail prices, they are also of good quality, comply with labeling requirements, and that chemical contents are within safe limits.”
In the past, the Ecowaste Coalition discovered that harmful substances such as neurotoxin lead and carcinogens cadmium and phthalates were present in school supplies that were being sold in Divisoria.

The tests, which were made using an X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometer, revealed that nine out of 25 school supplies and 11 out of 14 raincoats registered lead content ranging from 229 parts per million to 9,475 ppm. Three of the raincoats also registered for cadmium up to 254 ppm, way above the allowable level.

Four of five school supplies subjected to laboratory Gas Chromatographic-Mass Spectrometry exceeded the phthalate safety limit, with one sample having 35.86 percent of di-iso-nonyl phthalate which is used as a plasticizer.

Under the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, the threshold or limit for total lead concentration in products is 90 ppm, 75 ppm for soluble cadmium, and 0.1 percent for phthalates.

Health authorities also urged consumers to avoid plastic polyvinyl chloride items since phthalates are usually added to PVC for more elasticity.
Angara urged parents to read the labels carefully when trying to find cheap buys.

“Let us check for toxic chemicals in our kids’ backpacks. It is important to read the labels carefully and refrain from buying products with strong chemical smell and have painted parts,” Angara said. ●

Arayat official endorses Delta as vice governor

About the Philippines, Pampanga, Clark, and Angeles City

ARAYAT, Pampanga–Three-term Mayor Luis Espino yesterday endorsed to his constituents someone he describes as “one true leader” that would promote the welfare of the Kapampangans.

Espino urged his constituents to campaign for the candidacy of Dennis “Delta” Pineda for the vice governorship, because his “qualifications best suit the leader of the legislative branch, who will propagate plans and programs for the interest of the Kapampangans.”

“Ken kami pamung Pampanga Mayors League ing kekatamung painturung bise gobernador pakilaban na na ing karapatan na ning lalawigan Kapampangan, anya adwan ku kekayu ing ilakad taya kareng kekatamung kamag-anak, kakaluguran at kabalen na ing taong ayni metung yang mayap a tau at aku metung kung magpatune kekayu keng liderato na makasaup keng probinsiyang Kapampangan (While we were still together at the Pampanga Mayors League, he had been fighting for the rights of Kapampangans. For this reason, I am asking you to endorse him among your families and friends that he is a good man and leader. I can personally vouch for his leadership that could help Pampanga),” Espino said, speaking before some 400 Arayat folks here.

Espino said Pineda’s experience in public service would be of great advantage against any candidate in the vice gubernatorial race, in promoting the programs of the Capitol.

The mayor said the younger Pineda’s leadership would contribute to the development of Pampanga which was started by Governor Lilia G. Pineda.
Earlier, different sectors in the province have signified their support to the candidacy of the younger Pineda citing the candidate’s “proven and sincere desire to reach out to the people in the province.”

Meanwhile, Pampanga Mayors’ League (PML) president and Candaba mayor Jerry Pelayo lauded Pineda for initiating the rescue operations during the massive floodings in the towns of Sto. Tomas, Minalin, Macabebe and Apalit last year.

Pelayo said Pineda voluntarily offered his personal resources, including equipment, to save the people trapped in their houses by flooding.
“Kami ang pumilit at nakiusap sa kanya para humabol na bise gobernador dahil nakita natin ang kaniyang malasakit sa mga Kapampangan lalu na sa mahigpit na pangangailangan (We convinced [Pineda] to run for vice governor because we were witness to his genuine concern to Kapampangans who are in dire need for help),” Pelayo said.

Pineda has been one of the key officers of the Pampanga Mayors’ League of the Philippines. He was also the former PML president during his stint as the local chief executive in Lubao town for three consecutive terms. ● Marna Dagumboy-del Rosario
