“‘Yung iba ring kamag-anakan ng ibang city ay nakikiusap din po sa’min kaya kung kaya naman po ng Pasay, ine-extend din po namin ang aming services,” Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano said.
The mayor added that the local government had formulated a plan to borrow or purchase mobile freezers in case there was a spike in deaths.
Pasay had recorded 114 COVID-19 cases with three deaths and six recoveries as of Monday afternoon, according to the Department of Health’s online tracker. — Julia Mari Ornedo/DVM, GMA News
