President Rodrigo Duterte on attending the Christmas Lighting at the Malacañang Palace Grounds, December 5, 2016, promised that he will give away 2 billion worth of medicine to the Filipino people. He said that the said budget was from PAGCOR.
"So kayong Pilipinas [Filipinos], nakikinig sa akin ngayon. May mga reseta kayo, go to the DSSD [Department of Social Services and Development, now Department of Social Welfare and Development] or hanapin mo ang inyong city health or the hospital itself and we will buy the medicines for you.
I want every Filipino holding a reseta of a doctor that could not find the money to buy the medicines, sabi ko, 'Ibigay ninyo 'yang two billion na 'yan this Christmas"
President Rody Duterte seemed to share an early Christmas gift to many Filipino who cannot afford to buy their prescribed medicines. He also made sure that no corruption will take place and the said budget will only be allotted for medicine and medicine only.
