ecohealth lab in the Philippines: Follow up

 awhile back I posted about the US Dept of Defense giving money to ecohealth to fund lab to look for wild animal pathogens that could cause trouble.

Phil Inquirer: Dec 2022:

House urged to scrutinize US-funded lab project in PH By: Julie M. Aurelio - Reporter / @JMAurelioINQ Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:34 AM December 21, 2022 House Deputy Minority Leader France Castro STIORY: House urged to scrutinize US-funded lab project in PH House Deputy Minority Leader France Castro. INQUIRER.net file photo / Noy Morcoso MANILA, Philippines — House Deputy Minority Leader France Castro and other Makabayan bloc lawmakers on Tuesday urged the House of Representatives to investigate the presence of foreign-funded laboratories in the country, including animal disease facilities financed by the United States’ Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), to ensure that there are no covert military objectives involved in these projects. 

A few solons on the left worried about it, but then the story disappeared.

Well, today I was listening to this long boring talk about the UN treaties, and voila at 48 minutes he starts talking about an Indonesian discussing how they are encouraging these labs to investors to make money.

it took some googling but the daily caller  also wrote about the grant back in Jan 2023.

but no stories since then.

Hmmm...
