LA TRINIDAD, Benguet -- House of Representatives committee
on appropriations chairperson and Benguet caretaker congressman Eric Go Yap donated
P1 million to augment the financial resources of the province during the
implementation of the Enhanced Community Quarantine in Luzon due to the threat
of the COVID-19.
Representatives from the Office of the Congressman led by
Head Coordinator Anthony Kuan turned over the donation for the battle against
COVID19 to Governor Melchor Diclas and Vice Gov. Johnny Waguis at the Benguet
Capitol on Thursday, March 26
The amount is a personal donation of the
lawmaker who recently tested positive of the COVID-19.
He earlier provided Vitamin C to the
senior citizens in the province to boost their immune system.
Meanwhile, following Yap’s announcement
Wednesday night that he tested positive for COVID-19, Congressman’s Office in
Benguet was placed in the state of physical quarantine effective March
26.
“Although we have very minimal reason and
proof to believe that the office has indeed been compromised, we have decided
that it is better to err on the side of caution to take preventive measures and
protect not only for our staff, but largely also our dear constituency as well
from this pandemic,” Yap stated in his social media post .
The Congressman last visited the province
in February 20 to 23 during the consultation on the proposed nationalization of
the Benguet General Hospital and series of meetings with the local chief
executives and line agency heads.
