The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI-Western Visayas Chapter) has asked the Boracay Inter-Agency Task Force to back plans to create a molecular laboratory run and managed by the Philippine Red Cross (PRC).
 
“This will ensure the timely and accurate COVID-19 testing for both tourists and other stakeholders and thus promoting a safer, healthier, and better environment that would further boost and fast track the economic recovery of the island,” said PCCI-Western Visayas Chapter in a statement.
