PASAY CITY, Mar. 5 After his initial visit on February 25, the Office of Senator Christopher “Bong” Go held a series of activities at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center in Quezon City to provide more assistance and highlight the contributions of the frontline medical workers in the fight against COVID-19.
“Sa mga frontliners ng Veterans Memorial Medical Center, maraming salamat sa inyong serbisyo sa panahong ito. Nakikiusap ako, konting tiis lang po. Dahil kayo ang mas nakakaalam sa trabahong ‘to, kayo ang inaasahan ng bayan sa ating laban sa COVID-19,” Go said in a video message.
“Bilang Committee Chair on Health sa Senado, nandidito ako handang sumuporta, makinig at tumulong sa inyo. Bukas ang aming opisina, pwede niyong lapitan any time. Tutulungan namin kayo sa abot ng aming makakaya,” he continued.

PAGCOR, in a statement, said that VMMC sought its assistance to construct a two-storey halfway house or dormitory for the families and watchers of soldiers confined in the hospital.
VMMC Public Relations Unit Chief Juanito Montefalcon on Feb. 24 personally received the check from PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Andrea Domingo, who was joined in the brief turnover rites by the agency’s President and COO Alfredo Lim and Directors Carmen Pedrosa and Reynaldo Concordia.
The proposed halfway house was originally planned to be a three-storey structure, but VMMC Director Dr. Dominador Chiong, Jr. said that they instead decided to build a two-storey building due to the issue of height elevation.
