More establishments are being converted into quarantine facilities, and among them is INC's Ciudad de Victoria. Take a look at the recently converted quarantine facilities HERE:
The government and members of the private sectors have been hard at work in converting establishments - and even passenger ships -- into quarantine facilities, in order to better care for persons under investigation (PUI) and persons under monitoring (PUM) amid the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic. And now, religious group Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) is stepping up to help in the country's COVID-19 response efforts, by offering their huge compound in Bulacan to be used as a quarantine facility.
Authorities inspecting buildings at Ciudad de Victoria
INC's compound in Bulacan is called Ciudad de Victoria. It's a 140-hectare tourism complex that houses the Philippine Sports Stadium and the Philippine Arena, the biggest event venue in the Philippines and the world's largest indoor arena.
Quarantine facility at the Iglesia Ni Cristo compound
Currently, there are three huge tents erected beside the Philippine Arena, which already have double-deck beds and partitions. Each tent can accommodate more than 100 patients at a time.

And, if the need arises, INC is also willing to set up more tents in the middle of the Philippine Sports Stadium.
Upon inspection, authorities recommended slight modifications such as placing plastic covers on top of bedsheets and pillowcases, so that the virus won't stick to the cloth.
Once the INC compound is ready for use as a quarantine facility, it will be accommodating PUI and PUMs from Bulacan, Quezon City, and the CAMANAVA area.
