Kasama ni PCG Commandant Admiral George Ursabia Jr. sa isinagawang contract signing ceremony ang Multi-B Construction Corporation, Miyerkules ng umaga (August 5).
“Actually, the capacity is 250 people, but some of the accommodation will be for our medical staff. Through God’s intervention and blessing, finally, we pursue this project. In 30 days, it will be realized, once and for all,” pahayag ni Ursabia.
Gagamitin ito para ma-isolate ang mga tauhan ng ahensya na nagpositibo sa COVID-19 habang ginagawa ang tungkulin sa gitna ng pandemya.
Kayang ma-accommodate ng pasilidad ng aabot sa 224 PCG frontline personnel.
Nakatakdang buksan ang quarantine facility sa September 2020.
Ang nasabing pasilidad ay magkakaroon ng sewerage system, electrical system, air conditioning system, at maging entertainment facility upang makatulong na maalis ang pagkainip ng mga PCG personnel sa kasagsagan ng isolation period.
“We are fortunate because our good Secretary supported us. In fact, it was him who encouraged me to push through with this project. He is empathizing with us. Our good Secretary was not only a Secretary, but a Father to all of us. He really cares for our recovery and rehabilitation from COVID-19,” ayon pa kay Ursabia.
Kukunin ang P35 milyong pondo para sa quarantine facility sa 2019 capital outlay at 2020 Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) budget ng PCG, at mula rin sa financial aid ng Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
