Tweet

MANILA PHILIPPINES- Liminal, a premier wallet infrastructure & custody solutions platform, has announced a collaboration with Figment, the leading provider of staking infrastructure, to offer users a way to earn protocol staking rewards while keeping their assets safe in a Liminal wallet. 

Liminal is venturing into the staking world through a partnership with Figment. Under this, support for Cosmos and Solana will go live, with Ethereum, Cardano, and Polkadot to be followed soon. Staking is now available on Liminal's platform, allowing clients to easily delegate their tokens and receive rewards with a high level of security and efficiency.

Why Staking?

Protocol Staking is a process in which token holders stake their tokens to help decentralize, secure, and maintain the health of blockchain networks. In return, users receive staking rewards directly from the network. As a reward for participating in the network, stakers receive a steady stream of rewards independent of underlying token prices.

Rahil Shaikh, Director of Blockchain Engineering at Liminal, says, “We are excited to partner with Figment to bring a seamless way to earn protocol staking rewards with assets secured in a Liminal wallet. This integration is an important step towards providing our users with a secure, efficient, and user-friendly way to earn rewards while maintaining the highest levels of security. We are committed to creating a better future of finance, and this partnership is another step towards that goal.”

Eva Lawrence, Head of EMEA at Figment, adds, “We are excited to be partnering with Liminal as they launch their institutional staking strategy. Both Liminal and Figment have security and compliance at the heart of the offerings, and we are pleased to work together to power Liminal’s staking offering. This partnership continues Figment’s growth as the trusted provider for staking services in Europe, Asia and globally.”

DOH launches multi-sectoral initiative to eradicate tuberculosis

Tweet

The Department of Health (DOH) has launched the Philippine Acceleration Action Plan for Tuberculosis (PAAP-TB), a multisectoral initiative to eradicate tuberculosis (TB) in the country by 2035. The DOH together with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Education (DepEd), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), and Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), through the PAAP-TB aims to provide wider access to health services, and improved education and public information, social protection, and labor protection to eradicate TB by 2030.

OIC Secretary of Health – Maria Rosario Singh-Vergeire delivers opening remarks on the importance of TB eradication and building a healthy population

Tuberculosis is a chronic communicable disease that comes second only to COVID-19 as a leading cause of mortality from a single infectious organism. According to the Global TB Report 2022, the disease accounted for 1.6 million deaths in 2021. In a preliminary report from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) this year, TB continues to rank 11th among the causes of death in the Filipino population.

TB elimination entails improving access to TB services, and addressing the social, economic, and physical determinants that significantly affect its occurrence, transmission, and even treatment. “In addressing these social determinants of health, we enjoin all our sectoral stakeholders for synergistic solutions to overcrowding, low education, malnutrition, and ultimately poverty. Our collective interventions will make TB services equitable, especially for the poor,” said Officer-in-Charge Secretary Dr. Maria Rosario Singh-Vergeire.

The PAAP-TB aims to address the nation's TB epidemic by re-examining current programs and initiatives of National Coordinating Committee for Tuberculosis (TB-NCC) member organizations. Together, these collaborating sectors will provide an action plan and involve the private sector and organizations to achieve the program's goals over two medium terms.

OIC Secretary of Health – Maria Rosario Singh-Vergeire and Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. present the PAAP-TB document

Also present at the event were representatives from various sectors committed to eradicating TB in the Philippines, Department of Health Assistant Secretary Beverly Ho, DILG Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr., DSWD Assistant Secretary Janet Armas, DOLE Executive Director for the Occupational Safety and Health Center Ma. Teresita Cucueco, and FDA Director IV Jesusa Joyce Cirunay.

“By engaging multiple disciplines, organizations, sectors, and partners can combine strengths and leverage resources, expertise, and knowledge, while addressing the social, environmental, economic, and political systemic drivers that influence behaviors and prevent the effective delivery of health policies and interventions,” said Officer-In-Charge Singh-Vergeire.
