Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital’s Toxicology Care Center brings you this important information on TUKLAW CIGARETTE INHALATION.

The TUKLAW cigarette contains high levels of ni****ne (up to 9%) and synthetic cannabinoids substances that mimic marijuana’s effects but are far more potent and dangerous. According to PDEA and DDB, it has three times more ni****ne than a regular cigarette, making it highly addictive and potentially deadly.

Let’s spread awareness and protect our families especially children, teens, and communities at risk.

Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital’s Toxicology Care Center brings you this vital information on PESTICIDE POISONING.
Pesticides are widely used in households, farms, and gardens to control pests—but improper handling, accidental ingestion, or intentional exposure can lead to serious and life-threatening poisoning. Children, farmers, and individuals in rural communities are particularly at risk.

Pesticide poisoning may cause nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, seizures, or unconsciousness—and in severe cases, it can result in organ failure or death if not treated promptly.

Learn how to recognize the symptoms, understand the risks, and follow critical first aid steps that could save a life.

Please read this infographic carefully and share it widely to help raise awareness and protect our families, agricultural workers, and communities.

For emergencies, contact the CLMMRH Toxicology Care Center through the hotlines provided in the image.

The Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital (CLMMRH), through its Poison Control Unit and Information Services (PCUIS) proudly participated in the CBRN/HAZMAT Hospital Response Training held from July 28 to August 1, 2025, at Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center, Cebu City.

This intensive national training brought together healthcare and emergency response professionals from across the country to enhance preparedness and hospital surge capacity in responding to Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) incidents and Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) emergencies. Participants engaged in advanced lectures, hands-on simulations, and decontamination drills aimed at strengthening the health system’s ability to respond to large scale exposure events.

Representing CLMMRH were key toxicology and emergency medicine physicians, including Dr. Christine Anne Espeja and Dr. Quiana Tan from the Department of Emergency Medicine, alongside members of PCUIS demonstrating the hospital’s strong interdepartmental collaboration in disaster and toxicologic emergency response.

CLMMRH’s involvement underscores its commitment to regional and national health security through continuous capacity building, preparedness, and cross-sectoral training.

We extend our gratitude to the organizers, partners, and fellow responders who made this vital initiative possible.
