Should medical marijuana be legalized in Philippines? Watch “Failon Ngayon” this Saturday (April 5) as veteran broadcast journalist Ted Failon evaluates the possible pros and cons of legalizing marijuana.
The use of marijuana for medication has been legalized in some countries and cities such as Uruguay, Amsterdam, Spain, USA, and more. Experts say that marijuana has many health benefits if used properly.
Critics of marijuana argue that it has high potential for abuse. If marijuana is finally legalized in the country, what will the government do to prevent people from abusing it?
Ted also probes the proposed privatization of the country’s lone heart center, the Philippine Heart Center, and the Bureau of Immigration’s strict policies.
“Failon Ngayon” also features Comet e-Jeepney, a hi-tech jeepney with wifi, closed-circuit television (CCTV), flat screen TV, and ramp for persons with disabilities that will be launched in Quezon City this May.
