Sexual assault survivors can now genetically identify perpetrators with a r**e kit developed by researchers from the University of the Philippines.

The kit contains the tools needed for health professionals to collect samples that can be used as admissible evidence in court. Apart from the tools, the kit also has forms that document patient narratives, consent, details of samples collected, and the chain of custody. This ensures that the integrity and validity of the sample will hold up in court.

In order to effectively collect evidence, patients are advised to visit a healthcare facility within 72 hours, as this is the timeframe for biological evidence to remain in the body.

University Research Associate Frederick Delfin started developing the kit in 2003, with the goal of genetically identifying the assaulter. Later, Dr. Maria Corazon A. De Ungria and her team continued to develop a prototype of a sexual assault investigation kit (SAIK).

It was only this year, after decades of testing, validating, and researching, that a more refined version of the kit is now available for public use. It is now rebranded as the SAI.Kit, which will be commercially released in partnership with Manila Healthtek Inc this year.

Estrogen, its anti-inflammatory effect and the consequences of declining levels on the menopausal woman's Musculoskeletal system

“Frozen shoulder” is a real condition causing stiffness and difficulty in raising the arm. It mostly affects women, striking peri- or post-menopausal women more commonly than anyone else. The painful affliction can last for years—but has long been ignored by medical researchers who doubted its existence. New treatments may finally promise a cure.

In this time of calamity, many of us feel the urge to help. As we respond to the needs of our communities, let us be reminded that breastfeeding remains the safest and most reliable source of nourishment for infants—especially those below 6 months of age.

Without easy access to clean and safe water, the risk of infection from diarrhea, pneumonia, and other illnesses greatly increases for infants who rely on formula milk. That is why, instead of donating milk substitutes, we urge everyone to provide cooked meals and ready-to-eat food that can sustain families and strengthen lactating mothers—so they can continue giving their children the vital nutrition they need.

For mothers who are able, we make an urgent appeal for breastmilk donation. Your gift of life can make the difference for babies most at risk in this crisis.

For inquiries and coordination, please contact between 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily:
📞 VSMMC Human Milk Bank Unit: 0929-560-1087

📞 Nurse Anna: 0933-865-0904
📞 VSMMC Breastfeeding Support Group: 0947-643-8520

Together, let us ensure that no baby is left hungry, no child is left behind.

Daghang Salamat!
