This city's experience in handling the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic will be shared with the cities of Bacolod and Iloilo by assigning the chief response implementer here to Western Visayas, Sec. Michael Lloyd Dino said on Thursday.
"We are able to stabilize the Covid-19 cases in Cebu City. Our brothers and sisters in Bacolod and Iloilo need our help as their Covid-19 cases are going up. Gen. Mel (Melquiades) Feliciano will be staying in Bacolod and Iloilo to replicate our best practices," he told the Philippine News Agency in an interview.
Dino, head of the Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas (OPAV), said Feliciano offered to set up an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) similar to the one that Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu established here to synchronize all efforts in the fight against Covid-19.
He also confirmed that Central Command chief, Lt. Gen. Roberto Ancan, committed to sending two teams of military front-liners to augment healthcare workers in different Covid-19 hospitals in Bacolod and Iloilo.
OPAV Assistant Secretary Jonji Gonzales said each team of military front-liners will be composed of one doctor, three nurses, and three aides.
Dino also said his office will take care of the logistical needs in setting up new systems in addressing the Covid-19 situation in the two key cities in Western Visayas.
“Gen. Feliciano will be in both Iloilo and Bacolod daily to assist the LGU (local government unit) in their fight against Covid-19,” he said.
The decision to help Region 6's Covid-19 response came after the Department of Health (DOH) in Central Visayas reported the downward trend of Covid-19 cases in this city, citing the interventions done by Cimatu and Feliciano.
Feliciano is daily communicating with Mayor Edgardo Labella, other city officials, and barangay captains in finding solutions to the then rising number of coronavirus cases here.
Apart from establishing an EOC here, Cimatu and Feliciano also supervised the granular lockdown in selected villages as well as helped attend to the concerns of medical front-liners.
Dino brought Feliciano, Ancan, and Department of Health-7 Director Jaime Bernadas to meet with Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia to assess the Covid-19 situation and discuss Leonardia’s appeal to Duterte to send an augmentation of doctors, nurses and medical technologists and help them cope with the pandemic.
