I swear by Apollo, the healer, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods,all the goddesses, to keep according to my abil ity and my judgment, the following Oath andagreement:
To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with himand, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to
teach them this art; and that by my teaching, I will impart a knowledge of this art to my own sons,and to my teacher's sons, and to disciples bound by an indenture and oath according to themedical laws, and no others.
I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment andnever do harm to anyone.
I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and similarly I willnot give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.
But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.
I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation tobe performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.
In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from allintentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or
men, be they free or slaves.
All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce withmen, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all humanity andin all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my life

How Philippine Laws Are
Made BILLS – are laws in the making.
In summary…
Bills pass into law when they are approved by both
houses and the President of the Philippines.
A bill may be vetoed by the President, but the House of
Representatives may overturn a presidential veto by
garnering a 2/3 vote.
If the President does not act of a proposed law submitted
by Congress, it will lapse into law after 20 days of receipt
